Early in Season 21 of “The Bachelor,” Corinne Olympios emerged as the villain on the ABC dating competition. She repeatedly showed viewers that she would do whatever it takes to spend time with star Nick Viall and didn’t care who it upset. While these tactics aren’t making her any friends in the “Bachelor” mansion, they may just be the key to her success on the show.

According to Us Weekly, Nick is “attracted to women with strong personalities,” and has really enjoyed Corinne making the first move time and time again. Sources connected to the show told the publication that the “Bachelor” villain’s tricks work on Nick because of his high sex drive, but insist that he’s trying hard to take the process of finding love seriously. Nick is said to be aware that his attraction to her is controversial, as is allowing her to stay in the house despite the drama she’s stirred up with her co-stars, but he believes she may be worth the trouble.

“He wants to take the process seriously,” the source told Us. “But no other ‘Bachelor’ has had a sex drive like Nick, and he loves that Corinne is so aggressive.”

Corinne will utilize her sex appeal once more during Season 21, episode 6. Us confirms something “Bachelor” fans saw in a season preview clip, revealing that the Miami native will attempt to seduce Nick during the show. The publication’s anonymous source said that Corinne “knew her sexual tactics were her card to get Nick,” which has us wondering whether or not she’ll succeed.
“It’s a dramatic moment,” the source said.

During the episode, Nick and the remaining “Bachelor” contestants will jet down to the Virgin Islands where they’ll spend more time getting to know one another. Their trip won’t be all fun in the sun, as previews for episode 6 as well as a report from spoiler blogger Reality Steve suggest Nick will reach his breaking point in paradise. During the trip, Nick is expected to go on a one-on-one with Kristina, a group date with Rachel, Corinne, Raven, Jasmine, Danielle M. and Vanessa, and a two-on-one with Danielle L. and Whitney.

For their first solo date, Nick and Kristina will reportedly visit the Annaberg Ruins in St. Thomas. She is said to be getting a rose. The group date will reintroduce some friendly competition to the show, with the six women being split into two teams to race catamaran boats. The losing team is supposedly getting sent home, though tears and a “Bachelor” favorite on that team are believed to sway Nick’s thinking.

Raven is said to be the overall winner of the group date, taking home the rose. Jasmine, on the other hand, will reportedly emerge the overall loser. In addition to having been on the losing team during the race, she is believed to be getting sent home during the cocktail party. Before leaving she will reportedly reveal that she slept with one of Nick’s friends — a secret she’s been harboring for several weeks.

The two-on-one date will take place on a private island, leaving one woman stranded after “The Bachelor” star decides she’s no longer a match for him. Rumor has it Whitney will be the one left behind, jetting back to civilization for dinner with Danielle L. During their meal Danielle L. will reportedly reveal that she’s falling for Nick. In response, he sends her home because he doesn’t feel the same way. Ouch!

After an intense moment with Danielle L., Nick will reportedly suffer a breakdown. Reality Steve reported that Nick will arrive at the hotel to sit down with the “Bachelor” cast to discuss the future of the show, revealing that he doesn’t think the process is working. This will shock the women, but Corinne has a plan. After seeing how upset Nick was, she will visit him at his hotel where she’ll put the moves on him.

“The Bachelor” airs Monday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
