Episode-by-episode recaps of Nick Viall's season of 'The Bachelor'

Sarah Hauer and Alison Sherwood, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Alexis, an aspiring dolphin trainer, kept her costume on for the entirety of the first episode of "The Bachelor" with Nick Viall.

As Waukesha native Nick Viall handed out roses each week on "The Bachelor," we kept you updated on the journey. Here's the complete rundown of his quest.

Week 1: Nick meets 30 women

Nick switched sides of the limousine and made his debut as "Bachelor." He met 30 women, including an aspiring dolphin trainer dressed as a shark and a woman he had previously encountered at a friend's wedding.

Week 2: Two Wisconsinites go on a date

The women learned the oddities of life in the mansion with the first round of dates that, of course, included a yacht and wedding dresses.

The Backstreet Boys made a standout appearance for a date in L.A. where Nick and a group of women danced rehearsed with them and joined the boy band on stage during a concert.

Week 3: Backstreet Boys and Olympians

Forget Nick — the ladies met the Backstreet Boys in this episode. Nick also sent Liz home and addressed their past with the remaining contestants.

Week 4: They all come to Wisconsin

This could be our favorite episode of the season. The Bachelor traveled to the Dairy State for cow milking in Oshkosh, cookie frosting in Waukesha and roller skating at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Waukesha native Nick Viall and Rachel enjoy a one-on-one date in New Orleans on "The Bachelor."

Week 5: Nick and Rachel have 'explosive chemistry'

They almost had us fooled. Things were looking really good for Nick and Rachel in New Orleans (but not long after that we learned she would be the next "Bachelorette"). Taylor and Corinne went on a two-on-one date, which left Taylor in the bayou.

Week 6: Jasmine wants to punch Nick in the face

A group date in St. Thomas turned slightly violent when Jasmine let out her frustration with Nick, and we all cringed through another two-on-one date.

Week 7: Corinne is 'spinning out of control'

In Bimini, Corinne attempted to "turn on the sex charm" but Nick resisted her advances.

On "The Bachelor," Nick and Vanessa's hometown date in Montreal was full of questions about how the couple could make their relationship work in the real world.

Week 8: Hometowns include race conversations and expensive sweatshirts

Nick visited four hometowns and we finally met Corinne's nanny, Raquel.

Week 9: Raven's fantasy suite confession

This short one-hour episode took Nick and his remaining three women to Finland, where Raven had high hopes for the fantasy suite.

Week 10: Now we know how it ends with Rachel

We saw the remaining two fantasy suite dates in Finland and Nick said goodbye to Rachel. "The Woment Tell All" special brought out opinions from everyone you forgot had a moment or two on this season.

Week 11: The final rose

Nick proposes to one of his final two women. Does she say "yes?"
