Thanks to the "cat's" and everyone else, for staying in check and keeping this thread running smoothly in spite of this very interesting day!

I know tempers have been flaring, but there has been some great conversations across the board today!

Don't you love intelligent conversation?

Hi Mura  :WAVEY: 

I've been trying to get back to my normal life, but my love of all things Nick has pulled me back in   

Just love how he keeps it real and holds firm to who he is    Glad to see he is speaking his mind and inspiring intelligent dialogue.  Yep, I'm #teamnick forevah

I know he never will be the lead, but this is why Nick as the Bachelor would be so awesome. Someone so honest, expressive, genuine, great sense of humor, totally stylish wardrobe & just enough of a quirky sense of humor.

could any of you #teamNick single ladies in Adjacent area of Chicago snatch him for us, please?

What I like the most is that he is not one dimensional, and it's so easy to tell that he has a personality, based on his SM activities.

As always TPTB don't realize when they have a gem on their hands. He would have given them the most compelling season ever, but instead they chose to destroy him with the edit, giving him zero chance to be in the running.

I LOVE that Nick is still the center of attention even post season. He dominated the beginning, the middle, the end and post show. Certainly has the IT factor. Love him.  :peanutbutter:

Nick's blog is just another reason I am proud that I picked him as my favorite this season. I really don't care if the non Nick fans have a problem with it or not because those are the people who will bash him regardless of what he says. He could say on a bright sunny day "the sky is blue!" and they would bash him. That says more for their sad lives than anything else.

Mura, I see what you are saying about him pulling back possibly because of certain people creating backlash for his tweets regarding BIP but I hope he just throws that out the window and continues on because his tweets were awesome and again way more tame than alot of the vile the other alumni dish out. Obviously certain people have certain agendas with what "offends" them. I think he will still support Marquel while Marquel is on the show.

true Monica.  :WAVEY: .. i agree with NR saying that Nick is certainly no sweet guy all the time .. But ITA with those thinking Nick is the 'what you see is what you get' kinda man. Thats why i like him: salty, sarcastic, snarky, and all, with his raw and real emotions. He is not afraid to cry, speak his minds, owns his faults/mistakes and march his own drums.  At this point, i think us the fans will continue to appreciate him for who he is, with his flaws and all. And the opponent side, well, ..(you fill the blank).

i truly think he was genuinely hurt, badly. He has all the rights in the world to voice his opinions and stay true to himself, TV or Not.  These are real feelings involved in this scripted, heavily edited TV show. His concerns and feelings were no less matters than the lead and her F1 greatest ending. She rained her own love at the first sight fairy tale parade the moment she started to lead Nick on more than she should.

In this sense, i am with you Monica..i have no probs with Nick brought up the FS fiasco at the first place.   . and in different note, i also still think him poking the BIP casts was still tame compare than other BachNation snarks (and my own rant...).. If that puts the 2 of us in  :bad girl: Ville , so be it!..     

yes indeed sign me up to be a bad girl ha!

The pleasure in being a Nicholas Viall supporter       throughout this silly tv show has been validation that this man is a vanguard of the highest order.  

As Mura pointed out upstream (thanks for the mention, my friend), I have always been well aware of his imperfections.  However we are all flawed so really the focus in any "judgement" of character is much more about how equipped a person is to rise above their imperfections when faced with adversity.  On that account, Nick has effortlessly soared.  

The capacity of Nick to elevate the simplicity of a formulaic reality tv to debate about vulnerability, intimacy, unconditional love, "making love", what should be the terms of an engagement, risk, compassion, authenticity, truth-speaking, sex, and heartbreak from a male who defies stereotyping is simply phenomenal. His words and actions have always aligned (regardless of whether some like it while others do not) thus separating him from those who are bystanders to their own life story.  He is not, nor will he ever be a "hollow man".  That's why journalists and news & entertainment reporters want to speak with him.  He isn't just another reality tv "star" talking about the usual "stuff".  He is a man of substance and outside the "bubble" substance matters.

The season began with a simple dedication to Eric.  CH said that would be what we would witness.  What did we learn about Eric in the short time he graced our tv screens?  Eric was passionate about life and symbolized the ultimate risk-taker.
Eric believed that love, his family, and his future family were the greatest of gifts in life and something he would compromise almost everything for.  He stated that love could be found anywhere but in order for that love to be true the confines of "The Bachelorette" show would have to bend, the lead would have to truly be herself "with him" for something authentic to grow.  He questioned her, listened to her, placed expectations on her, stated his bottom line conditions with conviction, and listened carefully before quietly responding to her concerns. He challenged her to move outside her comfort zone.  He was a man, fully formed, looking for a woman to love in an unorthodox environment.  

I think the legacy of Eric lived on throughout the season.  


"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Thank you for reminding us. Eric and Nick had a lot in common.
