Re: Nick Viall - Bachelorette 10 Contestant - Spoilers - Discussion - Thread #4

[Kashathediva]

Don't think this has been discussed ... but if Nick is F2 why is he posting trip pics of himself with Andi on twitter - particularly the kissing picture from Brussels.  If he is hurt, or even was hurt and now over it, why would he put that picture on his page??

If someone wanted to stick it to the person (people) they felt hurt them in a way that they knew would get under their skin and possibly hurt their relationship, this would be the perfect way to do it.  You've got the lovebirds together now, having to deal with the things shown on the series (kissing other guys, saying how hawt, hawt, hawt they were, etc.) where one is trying to explain it away and the other is trying to shrug it off - putting the pic out there of her molded to his body is a good way to hurt them...  Kind of petty, but effective.

I don't care if Josh *if he is the winner* is "walking away with Andy", it's still got to sting to see her all lovey dovey with the other guys.  Human nature...

IMO, the tweet Josh posted about lions and sheep is pretty telling, he's trying to stay above it, say he's cool with it, he's won the girl ---but in reality, come on, that's got to be a HARD position to be in.  I know I would have a tough time coming to terms with all this bs.

IDK  
When I want to keep above something--I stay silent, bite my tongue and don't get involved. That says a lot more than any retort.

Bingo. He's trying to get under their skin.

ITA. He should just stop. When you need to post pics kissing her, explain your own jokes, retweet defenses and explain what sarcasm is, etc., it's already past the point of this looking normal and like it's rolling off his back. The Jodi response is perfect and highlights the differences in the two of them.

I agree (again) Alanna!   

Big difference between the two imo.

He's defending himself from the way he was edited. Why shouldn't he do that? Everyone's calling him the "villian" - ridiculous.

OK 1 question i had while rewatching: Nick tells the guys he watched every episode of Desiree's season to know what he was getting himself into... Were in Desiree's season do we see F1 Chris behave with the Snark/Salt that Nick shows? I dont get it. If Des' is the only season he watched why would he mimic James/Brian rather than Drew, Chris or Brooks?

I am not understanding what you are asking. Sorry.

Sophie ... I don't think Nick is mimicking anyone ... I don't even believe that he had "strategy" as guys called it ... I just think he informed himself to know how this show works before signing up for. To know what not to do absolutely and what can be done, but most importantly he probably watched the pattern of who gets the rose and when, to go ahead, when they start to show "feelings", who gets 1on1 dates and how many times ... to know where he would be standing (to understand better own position) ... I think he was absolutely being himself, with all his "damn-ass moves", not trying to go anyone's road to the final, but because Andi is encouraging him, he feels a little bit over-the-top right now ... and that's scary for me to watch - it's gonna be painful if it goes the way I imagine it.

I agree, I think (or meant to say in my earlier post) that he is pretending, or trying to tell himself he is "staying above the fray", but in reality - WHO COULD??? I don't even like running across lovey dovey pics of my husband with old gfs from before my time, even though I KNOW he loves me and "picked" me, it still stings. I cannot imagine what it would be like to watch a tv show every week where I had to watch him making out. YIKES! Thank heavens my husband's old girlfriends don't post old pics of them (have more class? respect what we have? understand that he picked me, not them? have moved on? reason after reason) but I'd probably have a really hard time getting poked like that. Don't poke the bear ;)

I don't think he is mimicking anyone's behavior. Just behaving like himself, and in some cases acting overconfident because of the connection he has with Andi. And in other cases it is the editing, taking things out of context and taking jokes and making them look like they were serious statements. I just think he was responding to their accusations about how he knew every season inside and out - paraphrashing: "I didn't watch the show before but before I came on here I watched every episode of Des's season to know what the hell I was getting into."

Ooops; I'm confused   I see you were commented on Josh. thanks.

ITA! Plus ABC keeps on releasing video of Nick in a negative light - surely they can find footage of other things to show. It's every week and really feeding into the hate Nick campaign. Sure, I am not saying Nick did not give them good material but this is on bordering on ridiculous.
