The Bachelor episode 3 spoilers: Will Clayton take Cassidy’s rose back?
]
We know there’s a lot coming up on The Bachelor episode 3, from a familiar face’s return to a Baywatch date. However, we do have to kick things off here with something we’ve been thinking about for the past week and a half: The Cassidy situation.
Are we about to see this contestant lose the rose they got in the one-on-one date? There’s a good chance of that after the “friends with benefits” situation first played out on this past episode. For a few more details, check out the full The Bachelor episode 3 synopsis below:
“2603” – Following last week’s cliffhanger, Clayton confronts one of the women about a shocking rumor involving her, but will her explanation check out, or will Clayton break tradition and take back a rose? Later, Kaitlyn Bristowe pays a surprise visit, leading an emotional date where Clayton and the women bravely open up about their insecurities. Becca Kufrin stops by to plan an extreme scavenger hunt for the one-on-one date in downtown Los Angeles; and back at the mansion, one of the ladies unknowingly sets off a new set of drama dominoes when she cooks the house a shrimp snack. Then, it’s time to kick up some sand when former “Baywatch” star Nicole Eggert takes the second group-date ladies through some romantic lifeguard training; but when the date doesn’t end as expected, one disappointed woman is ready to make waves yet again. Will Clayton reward her efforts to protect him by giving her the group date rose or be pushed to his limits? Find out on “The Bachelor,” airing MONDAY, JAN. 24 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on ABC. Watch episodes on demand and on Hulu the day following their premieres.
Here’s where we want to parse the Cassidy controversy for a moment: Is she anywhere near as villainous as some other people that we’ve seen? It’s clear based on her conversations that she was talking with a guy prior to starting her journey with Clayton. There’s also talk that the guy wanted to watch it play out with her after the fact. However, we never got a sense that she planned on continuing to be with this guy if she was with Clayton after the show, and it doesn’t seem like anything was ever that serious there in the first place.
Should she have potentially broke things off with this guy sooner? Probably, but Clayton has an interesting decision to make. From the information we have, it doesn’t sound like she went on the show with a full-fledged boyfriend.

TV and movie stars reenact real accounting struggles
]
Actors and actresses from shows like “The Sopranos,” “Baywatch,” “The West Wing,” “Scandal,” “Charles in Charge,” and the movie “Clueless" have been hired by software company DataRails to narrate examples of real-life problems with financial planning and analysis in a new video.
The YouTube video features Joseph Gannascoli from “The Sopranos,” Nicole Eggert from “Baywatch”and “Charles in Charge,” Joshua Malina from “The West Wing” and “Scandal,” and Stacey Dash from “Clueless.” In the video, the performers speak the exact words from real recorded calls of FP&A professionals to DataRails.
“Listen, a lot of our sales are just linked to another Excel linked to an Excel,” says Gannascoli from behind the wheel of his car. “So, it’s just a lot of one spreadsheet going to another spreadsheet, and then refreshing that one. And if something changes, you have to refresh all the spreadsheets again!”

In another clip, Eggert recreates a call from a CFO and controller of a 600-person US construction equipment supplier. “So we have a very slow end of month and quarter, and we use a lot of Excel,” she says. “We want to take away some of these problems where one little change to one of our spreadsheets leads to hours of trying to figure out what happened.”
Several accountants and financial analysts reacted to the videos on Twitter. “Outdated Excel worksheets are funny, painful and tragic indeed!” said Charles Botha, chartered accountant and financial controller.
“I think we can all relate to these problems,” said Joseph Carvajales, senior financial analyst at Trust Investment.
“I think it is something we can all relate to when using spreadsheets,” said Paul Barnurst, director of finance, sales, operations and analytics at DigiCert. “In particular, I laughed at the linking to multiple spreadsheets. It is like the super long nested if statement it takes forever to get to the bottom of it.”
The video comes after DataRails released a report last week from a pair of professors at the University of Baltimore that estimated dysfunctional and error-prone manual financial reporting processes will cost U.S. businesses $7.8 billion in 2022 ( see story ).
BAZ BAMIGBOYE: The filmmaker who turned down Nicole Kidman
]
Nicole Kidman has won an Oscar and worked with cinema greats such as Jane Campion and Stanley Kubrick. But that cuts no ice with her budding filmmaker daughter, Sunday Rose.
The teenager, known as Sunny to family and friends, makes amateur films on her iPad and, according to her mother, is ‘chomping at the bit to go to film school . . . but at 13 and a half, she’s too young’.
And despite having an award-winning Hollywood star under the same roof, the last person she wants to cast in her pictures ‘is her mum’, Nicole told me.
‘I’m like: ‘Do you want me?!’ And she says: ‘No!’ she added, laughing down the line from her farm in Sutton Forest, 90 minutes south-west of Sydney, where she has been spending time with musician husband Keith Urban, Sunny and sister Faith.
‘She may change her mind,’ she added; but given that her daughter’s been a film nut since she was eight, she doubts it.
‘The great thing about her age group is that they can make films on their iPads and iPhones. They learn to edit, lay in sound,’ the 54-year-old marvelled.

Jane Campion, who directed Kidman in The Portrait Of A Lady 26 years ago, has mentored her daughter, advising Sunny to go to art school as a first step towards understanding visual framing.
‘As Keith says: ‘You’ve got to learn rhythm guitar before you learn electric’,’ Nicole said.
We’d been chatting about how teenage girls are discovering, and relating to, the comedic and business know-how of Lucille Ball, the legendary funny lady Kidman portrays in Being The Ricardos.
Aaron Sorkin’s delicious drama, which is streaming now on Amazon Prime, is set behind the scenes of Ball’s signature TV hit I Love Lucy, which she made with her first husband Desi Arnaz.
‘I thought women in their 20s might be enthralled,’ Kidman said, ‘but I didn’t think younger girls would be.’
She believes Ball’s renewed popularity is down to the fact that ‘she’s such a cool woman, and a cool woman is timeless’.
Lucille’s gift for physical comedy was just what the nascent television industry of the late 1950s and early 1960s needed — and what she needed, too, lifting her from barrel-scraping B films to become a national treasure.
Kidman noted that Ball showed a ’talent to withstand so many failures, and to turn lemons into lemonade, to quote Beyoncé!’.

Mastering Sorkin’s rapid-fire dialogue required weeks of work, too. She found that the experience of playing pioneering scientist Rosalind Franklin in the play Photograph 51, for director Michael Grandage in the West End, helped.
If she could ‘absorb all that scientific data’, she could do the same with Sorkin’s whip-smart script. ‘He likes writing a lot of words!’ she commented.
Kidman is contemplating a return to the stage, perhaps in 2023, in a new version of a Greek tragedy. ‘It’s in my future,’ she said, though she refused to name the play.
More recently, she participated in one of eight, 30-minute dramas for an anthology series called Roar that will be shown later in the year on AppleTV+. She and fellow Australian Judy Davis, working together for the first time, play a mother and daughter in a tale of magical realism.
The actress had an all-too real experience working with director Robert Eggers, along with her Big Little Lies husband Alexander Skarsgard, Anya Taylor-Joy, Willem Defoe, Ethan Hawke and Bjork on the film The Northman, in cinemas on April 22.
‘Alex leads the Vikings, of course,’ she said, adding that she plays a Viking queen in a supporting role.
‘There was so much mud in that film. I was covered in it. And it was so bitterly cold.’ But she was still up for it.
‘I’ve always loved extremes. And Lucille, for me was, extreme — without the mud! Nothing comes close to her.’
Wham bam thank you Dan, a real robot hunk
Dan Stevens relished the chance to play a bionic man, hardwired for love, whose native tongue is . . . German.
Stevens — who found early fame in Downton Abbey, playing the frightfully British Matthew Crawley — had to be fully prepared for a sex scene with a very human woman, hired to give an ethical assessment of Tom, the android he plays in I’m Your Man.
‘There was some sort of modesty pouch involved,’ he said, of the scene with co-star Maren Eggert, who plays Alma, the scientist who must assess whether Tom’s algorithms are in proper working order.
The German-produced film — a delightful, screwball comedy — is one of 15 movies on the Oscar shortlist for best international picture.
The beauty of I’m Your Man, directed by Maria Schrader, is that as Stevens notes, ‘it doesn’t get bogged down in the technology’.
Instead, it opts to look at the ethical questions posed by the prospect of a non-human hunk, in a light-hearted way.

Dancing the rumba in the opening sequence helped the actor establish Tom’s virile physicality — which Stevens said was based on the moves of Cary Grant.
‘Grant’s a very stylised performer,’ he said, ‘and we were re-making his movements — how he’d walked and so on — for Tom.’ The android’s snappy chat-up lines were also borrowed from Grant.
Stevens studied German at school, though the fact that it’s not his first language was actually helpful.
‘The comedy comes from the off-timing of Tom’s delivery,’ he said. ‘A lot of that robotic concentrating is just me trying to remember my German.’
Stevens spoke, and sang, impeccably in English in TV drama Legion and the blockbuster live-action movie Beauty And The Beast.
He also dabbled in comedy as the outlandish Russian singer Alexander Lemtov in the film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, with Will Ferrell.
The actor travelled from his home in Los Angeles to shoot I’m Your Man in Berlin during the summer of the first wave of the pandemic.
‘It was a big step,’ he told me. (The film is available now on Curzon Home Cinema.)
Stevens will be seen later in the year as Watergate inside figure John Dean, in TV drama series Gaslit, which also stars Julia Roberts.
Rusty dancer takes West Side glory
When the call came to audition for Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, actor, dancer, singer Mike Faist didn’t want to put a foot wrong.
The room was full of the best dancers in the world, all hoping to land a role in the film adaptation of the legendary stage show created by Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim.
Its famously energetic choreography helps tell the story of rival gangs the Jets and the Sharks — but the thought of having to put on his dancing shoes in such exalted company made Faist want to hide.
‘I said I’d be happy to audition, but did I have to dance?’ he told me. He’d been out of practice for a decade since appearing in Newsies, with its electrifying choreography, on Broadway.
(He subsequently appeared in the original New York production of Dear Evan Hansen, which featured less energetic numbers.)
But then he got a grip. ‘It’s West Side Story, you idiot. Of course you have to dance!’
Mercifully, choreographers Justin Peck and Patricia Delgado could see that Faist, while rusty, was ‘definitely on a different wavelength’, so they went to his aid.

Spielberg had his eye on the 30-year-old because he’d been impressed with his acting. So Peck ‘was like, I guess we’ll make it work!’ Faist recalled, grinning widely on our Zoom call.
And he certainly found his feet as Jets leader Riff. The performance is one of the highlights of the film, that also includes standout work from Ariana DuBose as Anita.
Faist grew up in Gahanna, Ohio, with his mother, a probate lawyer, and father, who manages and fixes up properties for investment.
In his spare time he would help out with construction work, and take dance classes.
His first part was playing a munchkin in The Wizard Of Oz. When his mum took him on a trip to see a Broadway show ‘I knew I wanted to move to New York and do theatre’.
He said that along with loving the craft of acting, you also ‘have to love the weirdos that also love it — and you have to accept that you’re one of the weirdos’.
Speaking from his home town, where he’d moved back to be with his dad who’d had major surgery, he told me working with Spielberg had inspired him ’to chase joyous experiences’.
After shooting West Side Story, he appeared in Amazon TV drama Panic, and last autumn completed work on the film Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game.
Watch out for…
Shaq Taylor who will don prosthetic facial fur — and horns — to play the monster in the Alan Menken and Howard Ashman musical Beauty And The Beast, at the London Palladium from June 24 to September 17.
Taylor will join Courtney Stapleton, who plays Belle. The show has been on a UK tour — currently at the Sunderland Empire, followed by short seasons at Birmingham Hippodrome and Manchester’s Palace Theatre — before heading into the West End.
Taylor begins rehearsing on Tuesday. But he’s already aware that his character ‘has a heart within this beastly form that he’s been given … there is something, deep down, that’s pure’.

He added: ‘I think people miss that a lot. They just see a dangerous beast.’
Taylor, 27, studied drama at Brighton University and Arts Ed and has appeared in The Girl From The North Country at the Gielgud and Jesus Christ Superstar in Regent’s Park.
He’s currently appearing with Rosalie Craig in Hex at the National Theatre.
The musical — last performance tomorrow night — is still officially in previews, having never opened for critics.
The NT insists it will return in November, after a fix.
Fondly remembering Sondheim & Company
Stephen Sondheim was able to see celebrated director Marianne Elliott’s re-imagined gender-swap adaptation of his musical Company on Broadway before he died last November.
He also caught the show several times during its award-winning season at the Gielgud in London.
A new documentary about the production will feature interviews with the music titan.
Sondheim had agreed to sit for one final, extended conversation for the cameras, but alas, it was scheduled for ’the day after he died’, Chris Harper, a producer and partner in Elliott & Harper Productions, said ruefully.

The documentary, called simply Company, will be shown in the U.S. on May 27 on PBS.
It’s hoped a sale can be made to a UK broadcaster. Patti LuPone, who won awards in London for her hymn to the Ladies Who Lunch, was being interviewed in New York, where she’s in the NY production, this week.
The film will also feature footage of the London cast, including Rosalie Craig, who starred as Bobbie — a role originally written for a man; and Katrina Lenk, who plays the part on Broadway.
