Nick Viall - Bachelorette 10 Contestant - Plane Vid - Discussion - *Spoilers*

I used to like RS too. I find him hard to take now and his donations for his lawsuit defense turned me off. If you chose to spoil the show, don't beg us to pay for it.

I am starting to hope Chris is F1, just so it all blows up next week. From he doesn't even make it to the FS to F1, it would be Des all over.

Since I want all of them free from MeAndI, at this point screwing with RS will make me happy.

My guess is that someone recognized the handler at the gate rather than Nick. I'm not a Super Fan but I would recognize Elan or Peter and put two and two together. The luck of then getting seat right behind Nick is serendipitous.

On the video Nick never actually says Andi's name - he says "she" and "her". He does say Josh's name.

We only heard portions of his conversation. He could have said a bunch of other stuff and then the eavesdropper pressed record.

Re: RS. Those who say they can tolerate him have never been on the other end of him berating you. He despises message board fans. Once I had some minor info that was quite interesting. The person who gave it to me asked if I'd share it with RS. He was oh so nice, many emails exchanged. UNTIL he found out I frequented a message board. Then he basically said he had no use for me. That was after he got the info.
Years ago, he was even ruder to me, bit he apparently didn't remember me.

Still can't figure this video out. OTOH, it seems legit as far as what we know about Nick and the edit - overconfident, definitely surprised at not being selected but it just puzzles me that TPTB has not done anything and basically have allowed this season to be so obvious through SM especially Josh's family. It makes me suspicious that maybe it is a foiler and maybe someone else is F1. As far as Josh's family going aiong with it - maybe Mama still thinks Josh is F1 and Josh has not told her differently. As much as I'd like it to be Nick, I think the over propping of Chris as Bachelor candidate makes me think maybe TPTB are playing with us, similar to last year with Des' season where that Chris was photographed handing out roses and posing in Seattle made people think he was the next bachelor. Only things that make me that it is not a foiler - is the ribbon bracelet that Josh wears and the fact that Nick would also go along with the video if he was not F1 either.

Great Point!

i would bet money it's a paparazzi. like i said much earlier in nick's thread i even knew a woman (yes, a woman!) who was a pap for awhile. they are hired by agencies and get paid by the agency so RS wouldn't have to pay for them flying out to follow the F2. RS also had photos from ben & courtney's FRC that were really blurry. that was in switzerland in the mountains. these aren't random photos imo. paps make a ton of money btw. the woman i knew who was a pap did it for awhile to make some quick money and then went on to other things.

If it was a pap to make money then why go to RS. I'm sure one of the rags would have paid more?

that's a good question that i've thought of. i don't know the answer though. RS could have hired people. in his HTD recap this week he mentioned how he flew to the South where emily lived to try to get photos of one of her dates but had the wrong day. personally, i think the chances that the plane vid was some random fan is really unlikey. jmo.

I cannot imagine how RS could hire people and then that person could get a seat right behind Nick…..no time for that.

i don't think it'd be a problem as people ask to switch seats on planes all the time.

I agree that seems too odd. RS wouldn't have a clue what flight he was on. At that point he didn't know who (he would spoil) is f1. I stick with my guess above Nick said something earlier in the convo that got the persons attention they started to listen and film and then sent it to RS.
