THE BACHELOR -"Episode 2108" - Corinne, Rachel, Raven and Vanessa are left in Bimini, still shocked that Nick sent Kristina home before the rose ceremony. They wonder if they still will get a coveted hometown date from the unpredictable Bachelor. But with the stakes being so high, Nick will go on an emotionally charged journey to visit these final four women's hometowns. Raven meets him in Hoxie, Arkansas, and cute couple have some great, sexy fun, but Raven's father reveals some serious news. Then, it is on to Dallas where Rachel and Nick confront the challenges that might meet an interracial couple. Corinne is waiting in Miami where her father waits with some tough questions. Finally, Nick travels to Montreal to reunite with Vanessa. Although her special needs adult students give him a big thumbs up, things don't go quite so well with her big Italian family, especially after her father drops a bomb about Nick that has Vanessa questioning their relationship. Just as Nick gets ready to make the gut-wrenching decision to send one woman home, he gets a surprise visitor, who could change everything, on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.

Even though ‘Paradise’ is months away, potential cast member James Taylor is letting his interest in Raven Gates be known.

Out of the two, only Raven has been confirmed as a cast member for this summer’s stint in paradise, but James seems like he wants to go too. Two southerners together could either be the most most romantic, or the most disastrous.

During the finale of The Bachelor when Nick broke up with Raven, James was quick to Tweet about their potential chemistry in Mexico.

This seems a little premature, but clearly James had his eye on the southern belle for a lot of the season. Since the tweet, there have been a lot of people who are already shipping Raven and James together.

Fans want to see this matchup and what kind of potential it really has.

The only detail that seems to be missing now, is James actually confirming that he’s going on the show. A lot of people are already assuming that he is going to be on the show, but nothing is set in stone yet. He could have agreed already, but no announcements from him or the network have revealed anything.

Now we just need the announcement, and everyone will be rooting for the pair even more. Hopefully this is something that will happen, and not just a viewers fantasy.

If James didn’t want to cause a fuss he shouldn’t have Tweeted about Raven in the first place.
