On todays Bachelor Recap we are joined by Bachelor Super Fan, Jordan Weiss, the creator of Dollface on Hulu. As Nick and Jordan start to break down this episode they begin with the strained "two on one" between MJ & Jessenia before moving on to their biggest issue, why Abigail has yet to receive a one on one date. They talk Katie and the role she has played on the show and her vibe during the Tyler C prank date, Heather's arrival and how they think that will play out, and finally if they think there could be any kind of "naughty energy" that will come over any of the women.

On todays episode Esther Povitsky returns to help us take your questions but not before she jumps in and tries to get all the answers from Nick about his relationship. We then first start with a woman who after receiving mixed signals and a lack of communication with someone she has been dating for 4 years wonders if the relationship has come down to an ultimatum. Our next caller is struggling with the friendship her boyfriend has with his ex-girlfriend after finding out that the ex does not know about her. We then speak with someone who is re-entering the dating world after divorce and is trying to figure out if she likes him or just falling into her pattern of trying to define the relationship. Our last caller has been in a relationship for 6 years, they met when they were 19 and although the issue begins with their current politics and belief systems we find out there is a deeper issue.

Today we are speaking with Ricky Williams. Most of you would likely know Ricky as a former NFL player but we discover today he is so much more. Ricky realized one day that he was being defined by being an athlete, by being in the NFL and he decided to change his life to make sure that he could be something more than that. Retiring and finding his spiritual journey through astrology, and taking a holistic approach to to his body, and working in Cannabis made people think he was crazy but what he found was creativity and inspiration for what his future was going to be outside of the NFL. "When it comes to Astrology, I think it is abused and misused when it's used to describe people, I think at its best it describes circumstances you are going to have to face."

Nick is back to answer all of your relationship questions and on todays episode we start off with a question we get a lot when it comes to masturbation. Our first caller is concerned after walking in on her boyfriend masturbating while on vacation when she had just offered him oral sex. Second we speak to a women who is not into communicating on Snapchat with the person she is dating. She is ready to move the conversation from sexting to texting and to get this potential relationship off the ground. After the death of her partner our next caller is struggling with sex and dating. The person she finds the most comfort with sexually is the best friend of her partner that passed and navigating this friends with benefits situation has her confused with all the emotions surrounding it. Lastly we speak with someone who's politics no longer align with that of her family or where she grew up. Family Facebook political posts have started to strain all of their relationships because of their opposing outlooks. "Being passive aggressive while calling him weird is not being direct."
