Now I got it!! Poor Nick ,he really is misunderstood!!!
So, Nick tweeted" "I really need stop quoting anchorman... Or just work on my comedic timing.. Hopefully the latter"

I googled Anchorman, and here 's the quote:
"I know that one day, Veronica and I are gonna get married on top of a mountain. '
then he just kept going and made some more jokes.
No wonder he said his humor is dryer than a desert!

I watch Will Farrell movies only half listening, so I never would have gotten it.  This makes that whole scene even more awesome!

"Stay Classy, San Diego" is also from Anchorman.
Oh, didn't someone tweet Stay Classy last night?

Aww wow!! Now there's a scene perfectttt for TPTB fodder which Nick likely thought would have gotten lost in the 2000 hrs of footage for this show given how silly and inconsequential it was for him...I wonder if they used the matching facial expressions for Brian during those moments and he got the joke or if they picked the ones where he looked the most uncomfortable from their chat at that spot....seems that dry humors and sarcasm is the best fodder for producer manupilation for these reality shows

this is also a great reminder that editing can truly be OFF!

[happygolucky]

well what a morning ... reading all your posts (oh, btw, thank you fall the SCs, what a "photo-porn" (admin. - am I using enough "soft" words?) ... it relaxes the eyes and slows down the mind but boils the veins to want to write and defend even more) ...
amazing descriptions, really good ideas ...
since yesterday I cannot stop thinking of that option heard on Afterbuzz, I know that some (including me) are "negative" about Nick's possibility of being F1 (still hoping that Mura is having her party), but the fact that the guys now are defending Nick (on SM) ... it gives me something to consider ... there must be some kind of switch ... that the guys who were very much convinced of Nick's "game" now find him genuine, real (even the guys who are send home long before FRC) ... so is it possible that we can see different edit of Nick from now on? To "redeem" him? I'm not saying this can lead to him being F1 ... but to give him good edit after all.

Episode 3 - My First Kiss With Nick Was Passionate And Romantic    
Episode 6 - It Felt Like Nick and I Were Boyfriend and Girlfriend    

Episode 7 - Being Sneaky (Nick) vs Being a Gentleman (Marcus)   

Episode 1 All About Meeting The Men

When it came time to hand out my first impression rose, I had a lot of great options – Chris, JJ and Marcus to name a few – but my instinct to give it to Nick V. was definitely reaffirmed when I had some time to talk to him. I saw a lot of his personality in myself. I remember how skeptical I was that first night and I saw it in him. I wanted to give him the rose to let him know to have a little faith in me and in this process as well. I wanted him to get over some of his fears.

Episode 2 Sad, Raunchy and Sweet all in One Episode - No mention of Nick

Episode 3 My First Kiss With Nick Was Passionate And Romantic

It was my first time in Santa Barbara, and we stayed at the beautiful Bacara – right on the beach. My first date was with Nick. Obviously, he had made a great impression on me the very first night, and I wanted to get to know him more. Nick had voiced his skepticism about this whole process, so I thought he would enjoy a simple and very realistic date like bike riding and hiking.  

During our picnic, I could tell Nick was nervous, but I found it endearing. While we were hiking, I knew I wanted to show Nick this special place to watch the sunset, but what you didn't get to see was that we actually had to climb through a narrow hole in a rock wall to get there. Once we got through that and were enjoying the sunset, that's when Nick went in for our first kiss and it was so passionate and romantic. Later that night, we met at the beautiful Santa Barbara courthouse for dinner.

Throughout dinner I found myself relating to Nick in so many ways. On a mental level, we were definitely connected, and for many reasons, it was an easy decision to give Nick the rose on the date.

The rose ceremony involved a lot more drama then I knew about! But there were some really sweet and romantic moments during the cocktail party too. Nick sending flowers was romantic, unexpected and yet so simple. I think it showed how realistic Nick was in this process. What I mean by that is, Nick made an effort to make this process feel more like we were dating back in Chicago. I really appreciated that, and as a woman, that's definitely how I want to be treated.

Episode 4 I Love Connecting with Dylan during 'Emotional Conversation'

The Rosebuds and I had a cocktail party that evening, and I really enjoyed my time with them. Nick and I had great chemistry that night and was a perfect follow up to our one-on-one date.

Just like in Santa Barbara, I felt like Nick and I continued to have this intense mental and physical connection. The kisses were amazing and he definitely knows how to make me feel like a woman, and I loved how passionate he was.

Episode 5 My Incredible Date with Josh

Nevertheless, the guys were great sports as usual – except Nick. I know Nick and I had a great connection from our date in Santa Barbara, and I know it’s hard to adjust back to group dates, but I remember really not liking Nick’s standoffish behavior. Little did I know that that would follow through the evening as well.

As soon as I walked back into the cocktail party I could feel that something was off with the guys. I started talking to then individually and I got the sense that there was some tension between the guys and Nick – specifically that Nick had suggested to some effect that he was the "frontrunner." Obviously I don’t like this term, because it made me feel like this was a competition and that I’m a prize, and like Olivia Pope has said, "I am not a prize at the state fair. You cannot win me!" Needless to say, I was not happy at the turn of events that night.

Episode 6 It Felt Like Nick and I Were Boyfriend and Girlfriend

I had a tough decision to make for the first one-on-one date. I knew Cody was the only guy who hadn't had a one-on-one date yet, but after last week's confusing group date, I knew I had some things I needed to talk to Nick about. Plus, I knew I had a perfect date that fit Cody's personality coming up later that week. So, I made what was probably an unpopular decision – to bring Nick on that first date. I just held onto hope that Cody would have faith and understand.

My date with Nick started off with a walk around Venice and a beautiful gondola ride. We were swarmed by pigeons in Piazza San Marco and had the best gelato I've ever tasted. I remember thinking how natural it felt between Nick and me that day. It really just felt like we were boyfriend and girlfriend in this amazingly beautiful city. Seeing the city by gondola made the whole day so much more romantic. Nick brought the passion and made me feel so special. My favorite kiss of the day was when we were floating underneath the famous Bridge of Sighs. According to local legend, if you kiss under the Bridge of Sighs, you're supposed to have eternal love. I had always felt a mental and physical connection with Nick and today was no different. This was the Nick that I have loved getting to know.

Later that night, Nick and I got all dressed up for a special dinner in a stunning masquerade hall. I'll never forget riding up on a gondola and seeing Nick standing there in his Italian tuxedo – He looked so handsome! He joked that night that he felt like he was James Bond!

I had my concerns with Nick from the previous week because he seemed to not be getting along with some of the guys, which was a major turnoff. Nick actually owned up to his part of the drama. He explained that he's confident, not arrogant, in the relationship that we had been building and that's probably what had rubbed the other guys the wrong way. I liked that Nick was honest about the situation and I decided to trust him knowing that there was bound to be drama, but it was definitely something I knew I had to keep my eye on.

As if the night couldn't have gone any better, Nick got all nervous and started mumbling his words and I knew something big was coming. When he finally found his courage, he told me that he was falling in love. I was so happy that Nick was allowing himself to have those feelings for me – especially considering how skeptical he had been in the beginning of this journey. At the end of the night, I felt that although taking Nick for the first date was unconventional, I felt so much better about where he and I stood with each other and was so happy to kick off the week with such an unbelievable date!

Nick stealing me first was a bold move to make. I really loved seeing him take the initiative and I wished all the guys could step up like that.

Episode 7 Being Sneaky (Nick) vs Being a Gentleman (Marcus)

I have to admit, I had been waiting for a guy to sneak over this season, and it hadn't happened yet, so I figured it wasn't going to . But when I least expected it, there was a knock on the door and it was Nick! It was so cute to see how nervous Nick was when he knocked on the door! I was completely taken by surprise, but I loved it! What I liked most about it was that all Nick really wanted to do was go for a walk. He didn't feel the need to sneak off into an ocean or go to a hot tub.

Walking the streets of Belgium with Nick was so romantic. It was such a rush to know that we were just out on the town. Nick really made me feel special that night and he definitely brought the passion. Although we had a great time, I will say that I felt a little guilty knowing I had just come off a great date with Marcus and had another date the next day, but nonetheless I loved Nick's effort!

I met Dylan, Nick, Chris and Brian at these old ruins in the countryside. Again, another beautiful spot in Belgium! I'm telling you, this country was as picturesque as it gets! We rode bike carts through the country (well I rode, they pedaled, haha)

I had great conversations with all of the guys, and ultimately, gave the group date rose to Nick. Nick had been so open with me, both on the night he snuck over and that day at the monastery. Here he was, this skeptic, who was now telling me he was ready for marriage.

I felt so good about our relationship and I remembered how special I felt getting that hometown rose last season and I knew I wanted Nick to feel that same way. It was so sad to watch the other guys leave the date, but dinner with Nick was so great and we ended the night with fireworks, which for me capped off a great week of dates!

The time with each guy went well – until Nick swooped in on Brian's time. I have to say, I was a little disappointed in this "move," but I also understand that at this point, time is crucial, and a rose, while important, isn't nearly as important as building the relationship.

OT (sorry but just wanted to share!) And btw, remember when I said something about my friend being on TB last season and someone said "who is she, maybe we can set her up with Nick?" It's Christy Hansen. Her family's old lake house is right next door to where I live now. Here she is, lo and behold, standing next to Tricky Nicky at a bar.  :cutesmile!: aww.
