Re: Bachelorette 10 - Media Thread - *Spoilers & Sleuthing* - Discussion Thread #2

In his interview with Reality Tv World, Chris was definitely choosing his words carefully, especially with "how is the nicest way to put this" when it came to his "after the show" bromance buddy Nick.  It sounds like there was much more drama behind the scenes, with most of it focused on Nick.

My best guess would be that when Nick is feeling attacked, his defense mechanism is sarcasm.  And even add in a little dose of "I don't give a sh*t" when pushed too far by the guys, and that could come across as him being arrogant.  So, apparently Nick did rub some of the guys the wrong way, but Chris had to make that interview relate to what had led up to the apparent tension between Nick and the guys.  Chris' comments were related in particular to only the things that had already happened, right up to that point in the filming.  So, he basically had to throw Nick under the bus, to a certain extent, to relate the story that had unfolded.

I still like Nick though.  Maybe he should have just refused to answer direct questions, like "do you think that you are the frontrunner".  It seemed like he was damned if he did and damned if he didn't.  I don't think that he brought all of that on himself though.  Despite what Chris said, I do believe that there was a lot of jealousy among the guys that Andi was not showing as much interest in.  Those were the guys stirring up the most drama, not the ones who were really her frontrunners.

Great post and I agree about Nick's defense mechanism being a bad attitude and sarcasm. He actually strikes me as pretty insecure right now, but acting arrogant instead. A little off topic but this made me think of how the others see Josh. It's funny that so many seem to like him, think he's the nicest guy, etc. when he's the one that seems most confident to me. He really is that guy (so far anyway) that men want to be and women (including the insecure lead with him) wants to be with. I can't blame Andi for gravitating to him. It'll be cool to see both of these relationships develop and see if the confidence levels shift- Josh becoming insecure and Nick truly becoming confident and thinking he has this thing down.

JBF - Not only did JP do a video conference during that season airing but Ryan P also did one. Possibly another guy also.

Clare did an interview to cover up ocean gate on JaunPs season, Emily did one one  Brads because of the outcry about the racing date,  both Sean and Jef did an interview in the middle of Emily's season also.
Its not just future F1s that do interviews like this. IMO of course.

Didn't say just F1s. Ben F. also discussed his date in Chaing Mai as well. He looked pretty down though. Ryan's was done after episode #4 as I recall, Phuket.

I agree with you guys about Nick! The only thing is that I don't think Nick said "probably" about being the front runner. We didn't see him said that and it sounded a bit sliced and diced there.

I do which is why I said "don't you love those inside sources". I really dislike rag mags. I even hate to see them at the check out counter and wouldn't buy one to put in my birdcage for my bird to poop on.

Maybe you could put with a pic of Josh and Nick and see which one the bird poops on..

  don't you think Josh got enough poop? I wonder if Nick and Andi got pigeon poop? They had enough birds around and on them.

I will believe the Hollywood thing if I see it.....they say that about pretty much all the leads.

If the pigeons pooped on Nick I think they would have showed it. Making us guess which one will have the good luck at the end.
