I don't blame Nick for his comments...those guys esp Chris are annoying...always starting sh*t with him and calling him arrogant. If I were Nick and people were treating me that way....I would say these things too.

Whoa, I don't think Chris is the problem.  He's just standing up for himself and NOT being the disturber.

okay well perhaps he's a victim of editing as well...I mean why else are he and Nick still friends.

Editing does play a big part. For most of the season, Chris said nothing. He was said to of not existed. Then in two epis where we hear from him, he's now called a disturber....sheesh, the poor guy can't win.

Well you know they have to create drama, this is their last episode for it, it's the last episode before htd's

Tptb need to create drama and a show plus it's kinda irresistible to show the cocky, front runner blow up spectacularly at the end because she goes for the dumb, untrustworthy, shallow as a kiddie pool and whatever else jock. When in reality Andi was always Josh's to lose and Nick was always the sacrificial lamb that was too easy to take for a ride by both Andi and tptb. As if she was ever going to end up giving up the chance for the hottest, sexiest dude she ever saw who adores her and brings absolutely everything possible for her to the table for any reason. Please.

Hi Alanna, thanks for your post - I think we're going to have to agree to disagree...  I see her immediate attraction to Nick (first impression rose), a great first date where she talks about how in synch they are, her repeating how he "really sees her" and how their connection powerful is, the kisses, his ability to calmly discuss issues that come up between them.  A better second date (and the first one to get a second date) that ends in her basically saying she's falling in love... I mean the man has game.  I get that TPTB need to create drama.... and it's interesting to me that all of Nick's tweets since the show have been really upbeat and funny.... even with regard to how he's being portrayed in the show.  I love the 'skeptic to believer' storyline (and I believe it).  I find Nick funny, #salty and incredibly sexy... oh, and by the way, so does Andi!!  :-)

"There’s no second, there’s no third."... so much for it not being a competition!

May I add: "I'm the only one. There's no second....". That came straight from the mouth of the man, no cutting, no splicing.

There is always competition, that is part of the show. And just like Josh, Nick was an athlete too. According to what we saw in France, Nick and Josh were good friends. Heck being an analytical person, I think in terms of numbers so maybe that is it too. Just two years ago when I was still taking tests in grad school, I would think of placement in finishing tests as in time, then of course in scores. I count my workouts down in percentages.

We can pick everything to death and in the end it doesn't matter. Andi picked whoever she picked. Nick and Josh both seem happy so whoever wasn't picked is fine. Will Andi and F1 last? Who knows. I don't like her and wouldn't wish any guy to have to put up with her drama, but the choice is his so we will see. Andi seems in flux, with quitting her job, etc, so who knows what the future will bring.

I would never have thought a year ago that I would be happily anticipating Des and Chris's wedding. In the end it all works out for the best.

Good post.   

Just wanted to add that I don't know if Andi and Josh or whoever her final 1 is, will make it. I have to see them interacting, and making decisions together in the real world etc. to see if they will make it after the show.

What he might have said was: "I'm the only one. There's no second date yet for anyone else."
