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.

RS obviously has an inside source so i think he could know the flight. really though, all he'd have to know is the location of the FRC and follow the contestants from there. i don't think it would be that hard and he did it for ben & courtney's season with those blurry photos he had.

But getting a seat right behind him…..that's a stretch.
And we may never know the answer!

agreed - he just said the right thing that tipped off the recorder i am sure still i cannot believe they recorded it. crazy. poor nick heartbroken then a leaked vid. the worst.

RS said "they recognized Nick." He didn't say the conversation Nick was having clued them in. So again, how did that person recognize Nick before the show started airing.

Also, why are the videos separated? Why is there a 3 minute one, and then a separate one "bashing Josh?" Has the video ever been seen in it's entirety? Did the "person" recording stop recording and then begin recording again? To many questions surrounding this video.

i do feel badly for him whatever the circumstances were. he was just venting about losing the girl and sounds like most anyone would. i'm sure he wouldn't want any of what he'd said to be publicly known.

He was being much more kind to Andi and Josh than I would have been had that happened to me regardless of what "I signed up for". It doesn't matter if it's Andi's job to lead him on... it doesn't make the feelings he had any less real or make it hurt any less.

agreed      and i am sure he feels awful for how everything ended up - he was dumped, has been made a "villain" and said things not thinking anyone else would hear it except those closet to him. Lets hope he has learnt from this and moves on to a happy life. I wish the same for Andi and Josh.

I agree. He's not in a great position here and it sucks. Plus, the girl he thought was his soulmate is now all about the "competition" and IMO blatantly using sm to confirm that she's alllll on Team Her Man, no questions asked. But I'm sure Nick will be fine and probably already is over it all.

soo I keep hearing about the Social media stuff sorry haven't been keeping up but is there a space where all this is compiled for someone to see?? snapchat, murray's tweeting etc? thanks!

there's a long list located in Josh's fan thread.

I have no trouble believing that the recorder was one of RS's superfans; he does have them, people who think he's brilliant  , and the likelihood that someone who loves RS and his BS would also be the type of person to think it was completely appropriate to film somebody's private conversation is pretty high.   

Even if Nick's name wasn't released on RS's site until HTD's were filmed (I'm pretty sure it was), a superfan would probably have seen the photo immediately after it was posted and might well remember and recognize him a couple of weeks later. Or like others have said, the start of Nick's convo could have tipped them off. They may have stopped filming temporarily and then resumed because a flight attendant came by with drinks, or their seatmate needed to get up to use the bathroom, or any number of other reasons. I find it totally plausible.

And I agree that Nick didn't say horrible things about Josh or Andi in the context of just having been dumped and thinking he had been duped as well. But in the context of playing along with a foiler where he is just adding insult to Josh's injury, for me that's a totally different story, and not a very gracious one.   

^^^ I agree Ironcat other than I think it's very possible for a fan to hear enough or see enough to know who he was and who he was talking about. If he is F1 it does not make Nick look good no matter how you spin it.


For that reason I am leaning towards the video being legit...mostly because I do like Nick and while he didn't say anything too bad if he was F1 I would really like to think he would not do this.
