I think Chris L is the only one that has confirmed that he turned the offer down.

Reid also turned it down, both he and MF have indicated this in interviews. I believe MF alluded to Reid being first choice over Jake in a 20/20 interview.

I e-mailed RS a while back asking why Reid would turn down the lead with a guaranteed 5-6 figure salary, but do trashy BP where he would fight with dozens of others to possibly win 250k. According to him, Reid was asking for too much money and that's why the deal didn't go through. I tend to believe RS when it comes to that, because Reid's exit interviews seemed to indicate that he was interested in the position. Reid was probably my first serious crush in this franchise, and I was devastated when I found out that he wasn't going to be the lead. In hindsight, I think that it was probably for the best: whenever a favorite of mine returns, either as lead or BIP/BP, I always end up losing respect for them. I know that Reid cheated on his girlfriend with Sarah Newlon at the Vegas Reunion; he probably would have disappointed me if he had been the lead and I prefer to just have nice memories of his time on TV.

I agree that Nick would make a horrible Bachelor. He's a very acquired taste and doesn't fit that typical vanilla, non-controversial, all-american mold that allows the girls' drama to take center focus.  I also don't think he has that combination of looks and charisma that most women in America are instantly attracted to. I do disagree that he wouldn't be able to lead on the F2 though. We always say that about a recycled lead and we're always wrong. Even the "nice" ones like Ashley or Sean have said or done things with their F2 that they probably shouldn't have.

haha good call!!! . Let's let him have a go...pretty fun that those speculations about tweet favorites and IG posts between K and N are leading to this F3 eh? who would have thought!!

nice to see that we all have a diversity of tastes when it comes to the guys we find favorable in any given season 

I liked reid & didn't feel like I understood ed enough to like him - at the time the show aired I actively disliked him - thinking back now his edit seems really bad and misleading - If I were watching now I'd probably watch that season totally differently :Nod: And like CP said - I was disappointed in Reid post-show - I guess he's the one who first showed me I should try not to put limitations on who I think theses guys/gals are and what they would/wouldn't do... you watch and you learn eh?   :strings1  

Loved both CL and Roberto   wonderful guys and such hotties 

emusha wrote:that's a fun theory... could be. James seems like a character and possibly fun to watch so I hope he makes it despite height restrictions...

I think the producers would want family members who can help with the storyboard -- I can see them including Bella and Maria or switching it up with a different protective sibling maybe this time -- someone who's had a long and stable relationship and can be a strong relationship role model... I could also see them bringing in Dad and maybe him being more protective of Nick this time...Nick's dad seems like a great guy from his social media -- maybe they'll have mom and dad share their relationship lessons together?
Nick always talks about their relationship as a kind of connection he's looking for...

Bring on the irreverence, the sultry, the call of the siren. Time to be enchanted, I say.

It could be related to a Bill Murray tweet he faved this month:
"I know right from wrong. Wrong is the fun one." 


Nick has self-depreciating, dry wit - not unlike Elan.
