Salty salty Nick... They will love him even more when he gets the group date rose next week and apparently extra time with her....

TPTB and Andi are playing Nick like a fiddle. She is really enjoying making Nick feel like he is her one and only.

^^Nick looks super handsome there. 

Just went over to the unspoiled section and everyone has Josh as F1. My unspoiled sister text me Monday night and here are her thoughts:
I and smitten with Josh but he screams player. Don't like Nick on tonight's episode but still like Marcus. I then asked who she thought would win and she said she hoped Marcus but knew it would probably be Josh. 

Have we ever had such an obvious F1 other than Emily on brad season? I would think that Josh's main competition(Nick) would get a better edit to throw us off. Not that Josh has the most flattering edit either, but......

I may be in the minority here but so far I like Nick's edit.

One of the major thorns I've picked at over seasons is that real people are portrayed as characters rather than authentic beings.  To me, authenticity requires the edit to show strengths and flaws.  
We've seen Nick's flaws to be "salty", slightly aloof (or slightly arrogant), blunt despite him knowing a "ruckus" will following.  
His neutral characteristics - which could be + or - depending on the situation - are assertiveness, questioning or scepticism, highly analytical.  
Key strengths: communication skills, self-deprecating, highly intelligent, calm under pressure, focused, admits mistakes and owns them, open to discussing concerns brought to his attention rather than becoming defensive.  

There are good fits for everyone.  For a long term relationship to work, a couple needs to work through the most challenging aspects of their partner.  The show often presents some knight in shining armor but he's probably really stinky under all that metal.  I'd rather have a Braveheart where all the mud on his thighs is exposed.  Bring it on Salty Nick. 

Yes, great analysis! I like Nick too. I get the same vibe from him that I did from JP. I had a ginormous crush on the super sexy JP but Nick kind of reminds me of my son ... so not crushing   

I go back and forth on whether his plane video is authentic. My latest thought is could RS have paid someone off on crew to tell him the flight that Nick was taking and then sent someone to watch his actions and the person just lucked out with Nick's call???. That sounds like stretch but what bothers me still is how quickly after filming, RS had in grubby hands. But, on other hand, after last season's fantastic miss, RS can't afford another.

That said, I don't see or haven't yet heard talk about an intellectual connection with Josh as she has with Nick. If she does start to use same words to describe her Josh connection as she does her Nick connection, I will easily believe spoiler because of all other things she and Josh have in common. If she doesn't, I will believe either the foiler/Nick F1 ... or she settled for what she knew (as Nick said in video).

We got lots more of this season to watch so almost too soon to call it (if you only focus on the show and disregard other evidence.)

Does it really matter if RS paid for that video or not. Or when or how he got the video. If Nick hadn't decided to have that conversation in a public arena there would have been nothing to record or sell. If it's not legit no harm no foul. If it is legit I'm sure TPTB aren't really happy about the leak.

I wouldn't take Nick's word on Andi "settling" as gospel. He's got a bad case of sour grapes in those videos. I doubt Andi would settle for Josh if she really wanted to be with Nick. The only way I could see that is if Nick was her first choice but he left early because he wasn't feeling the connection. Think Brooks. Andi has been so focused and serious about this experience that I can't see her whimping out at the last minute and going with 2nd choice.

[soccermom333]

Agree cindebugg, I don't think Andi is settling for anyone.  She is a big girl and knows what she wants.  Period.  If she wanted Chris, Marcus or Nick over Josh she would have picked them.  We will just have to wait until the atfr and form our own opinions of the happy couple.

Olivia Pope sneaks in kisses at the office   

Sorry but I just can't get over the pics on the wall.  The group of men staring, the half naked men (BoysIIMen reference)... and then there's side boob which is so so close to being topless.  It's just too much   

Which epi are these pics from?  Which epi were the cocktail party pics posted yesterday or the day before from?

I wonder if the guys are going to be upset with Nick again when he gets
1-on-1 time with Andi at the cocktail party when he already has a rose. #Salty
 
Sorry about the poor quality but the clip isn't posted online yet.
