I just read about the article. It seems crazy, like they concocted the story from the video. They even mention Jason and Molly. Crazy!

Which article are you referring to?

I sure hope his mom and his sister Maria would stop him! Anyway, let's look at his most recent picture:

Whitney Reynolds said he's a doll
I am sure he has a life outside of the show.

Of course he does. This is Hubbard Inn.

Since this season is dedicated to Eric Hill:

I have decided to post an Eric pic here because I believe, in his own unique way, Nick is one of many who encountered Eric and are carrying out Eric's legacy.  Eric was a great man, in my opinion, because he not only dared to dream; he dared to do.

In this quest of love, Nick too has dared to adventure beyond what may have been his previous comfort zone. He has taken all his thoughts on love, as shared in Santa Monica at the court hall dinner, and dared to make those beliefs his reality: to put his basic human need for love at the forefront because he sees authentic potential, to not only choose to do but to dedicate himself to the work required, to make time at any cost in order to remain true to his mission of love.  He has used the tools he has - his eloquence, his self knowledge, his stunning intelligence - to venture deep into the unknown terrain of the heart.  He has done this with passion and with each step has acquired greater confidence in the path underfoot. He has steeled himself against fear of vulnerability, and armed himself against the possibility of never reaching his destination, without entertaining doubt in the value of why he is doing what he has chosen to do. Eyes forward, never back.  Prepared for failure but never allowing his momentum to falter.  A fonte puro pura defluit aqua.

I think so often people see the wave but never ride it.  They think about it, may dream about it, but sunset finds them on the shore still.

I think what Nick has dared to do is, respectfully, an example how the "Eric's" in this muddled world of ours have the power to touch lives in the briefest of encounters.  In real time, Eric may have been at the mansion for around 13 days of filming.  Eric was a dynamic charismatic, although soft spoken and quietly intense, man (something of an anomaly) who I imagine left a trace of Eric essence on everyone he met.

I think Nick has shown us as viewers his unique interpretation of how to #livelikeEric.

 you do have your own unique way with words, NR!...Beautifully said!...

Thanks for the inspiration of the day   .

I cant wait to see the ending of Nick's love quest.....or dare i say....the beginning of a new journey with his other-half...  

[emusha]

Great post notarose I agree with you and I truly appreciate the man that Nick is because of these traits. Thanks for sharing. Thought this might also be fitting in terms of his perspective on love which is also inspiring...
Nick is the kind of guy who's on a journey where each step is the gift, the opportunity to learn, grow, laugh, love, share, explore....in a very different way than Eric but definitely in the same spirit.



I'm so glad we had such AMAZING AMAZING guys this season loved getting somewhat learn about Nick, Josh, Marquel, Eric and Chris especially!

spot on, Emusha. .!..to honor our beloved Mirrors  :hug: and wishing Nick in finding his own Mirror    (thanks JT!  )

I rewatched the promo and it appears as though Nick is wearing the infamous bracelet in the clip where he and Andi are kissing after the MTP I would assume. You can see the black strap, but not the beads.

notarose and emusha, beautiful posts both of you.  

Nutty, I agree that whole article is suspicious and honestly, if and that is a big IF, Nick did reach out to Andi after the FRC, I do believe it might have been to say he was sorry about the video.  Otherwise if Nick is F2, I don't see him disrespecting himself or Andi and Josh that much to try to reach out.  I understood why Arie did it.  Emily was so awful dumping him and never just said she was sorry she had to let him go because Jef was it for her, that Arie genuinely thought she picked no one.  If Nick is F2 and therefore the plane video is real, he knows Josh is F1.  There is no mystery, she chose someone else.  Plus, I don't think after all the crap Andi pulled on Josh about trust, she would be stupid enough to be approached by F2 and not tell Josh.  Talk about betraying trust...

As mura pointed out earlier, US is the fine magazine that declared Brooks and Drew as Des's final 2.  So yup, not the greatest track record.  As a Jef and Emily fan, US was the worst and most inflammatory rag.  They take what maybe a slight truth and turn it into something it never was.


Be strong Team Nick.  We are not silly and Sharleen is not silly.  The things that article says are just not Nick.

i assume this is at LCD. I think the same bracelet as the one Nick always wears after filming

Some telling exerpts from the blogs of Andi/CH for me regarding Nick (thanks Jen689 for posting)

"I wanted to give him the rose to let him know to have a little faith in me and in this process as well."

"Nick sending flowers was romantic, unexpected and yet so simple. I think it showed how realistic Nick was in this process. What I mean by that is, Nick made an effort to make this process feel more like we were dating back in Chicago. I really appreciated that, and as a woman, that's definitely how I want to be treated."

"Just like in Santa Barbara, I felt like Nick and I continued to have this intense mental and physical connection. The kisses were amazing and he definitely knows how to make me feel like a woman, and I loved how passionate he was."

"My favorite kiss of the day was when we were floating underneath the famous Bridge of Sighs. According to local legend, if you kiss under the Bridge of Sighs, you're supposed to have eternal love."

 "I'll never forget riding up on a gondola and seeing Nick standing there in his Italian tuxedo – He looked so handsome!"

"Our conversation about Nick's past break-ups definitely put me at ease. Nick has this unique ability to just put any issues out in the open and work through them quickly, which I greatly admire."

The above from her blogs illustrate just how much an impact Nick made on Andi (and as we know vice versa). I feel like some will sometimes argue saying well yeah she likes Nick for JUST his mental connection with her (which is a pretty darn awesome in itself) but then play off that the Josh is the one she has a physical connection with which obviously sure, but as we've all seen and she mentions above, she has mental AND physical connections with Nick. He understands her like she has never had a guy understand and see her before. That is not something you can fake or pretend.
