If you look around the internet, you will find stories about how Utahn Briana Guertler and seven other "unlucky ladies" were sent home by "Bachelor" Nick Viall at the end of the season premiere of that alleged reality show.

(Which, of course, we all know is not reality at all.)

Frankly, I think they're lucky they got off that trainwreck before they had a chance to embarrass themselves … much. But then I've never really understood why anyone would set themselves up for humiliation by agreeing to appear on "The Bachelor" in the first place.

Sigh.

In this week's episode (7 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4), Nick tells the remaining women that, yes, he slept with Liz (sent home last week) before production on this season began. I'm guessing he won't run down the whole list of "Bachelor"/"Bachelorette" women with whom he has had sex. That would eat up too much time.
