Well that very well may be true but he sure is looking in the wrong places.  He has to know the track record of this show so why not just stick to Chi town.  IMO there is a reason he's still single at 35.

I guess we could apply that reasoning to all the age 30-ish guys living in big cities such as Josh (Atlanta), Sean (Dallas), JP (NYC), Chris S (Seattle), etc.

this interview was sort of cringeworthy

IMO, I can see Nick considering the role of the Bachelor because he is a hopeless romantic and would like an "epic love story". Not sure if that is even possible on this show anymore with ratings being the most important thing. But, if anyone is capable of both... it's Nick.

 In the People article from today, he mentions Shawn/Kat and Desire/Chris and thinks that the show does work for some. He might think that he could be one of those success stories.  And to be honest, if there ever was a chance for a real love story, Nick's story would be it.  He would break all the rules, but in a really good way.  He would bring a "real"ness to the reality show.  

The question in my mind isn't, "Would Nick be a good Bachelor?" It is, "Would the producers be able to handle it?"  They could barely handle Nick going after one girl the past two seasons. Talk about twenty five women being romanced by Nick?  It might be too intense... too intimate... too hot for TV?  His magnetism?  His honesty?  The cat fights?  

And talk about a "great" story board?  There were 24 women who wanted Nick, but did the one he chose want him in return?  Is it three strikes and he is out?  Or third time is a charm? The story writes itself. Viewers would turn in to see if Nick gets turned away a third time for sure. And this time being the worst as the Bachelor himself as that has never happened before. My little heart couldn't take the stress.

That's exactly why they are potentially looking at him as TB.

Nick wants to be humiliated for a third time? Go for it. I won't feel sorry when it happens again.

The family in the audience,  30 minutes strictly spent on Nick on the ATFR was a clue to me that he is in the running. I think him being the lead will be easier for him.  He is polarizing but ratings gold, TPTB are very aware of both.

Anyone who goes through the experience that Nick had from this show and still wants a 3rd shot at it isn't looking for love. This isn't just tv, this is his reputation. He can find love out in the real world. He lives in Chicago for goodness sake. I guess TPTB want him so they can use him some more. Make him look foolish again. All I know is that if he starts campaigning and signs on for it, all my sympathy will be gone.

ETA: I guess I add JMO to this.

So agree with bolded! If Nick is truly considering being the Bachelor, IMO it just verifies to me that his coming onto K's season was one big tryout for the lead role. Last season I found him to be genuine and refreshing. This season ... not so much.  

Last season Nick truly seemed lost and hurt on ATFR. This season Nick's conversation with just K and CHris Harrison was focused on trying to throw Kaitlyn under bus to garner more sympathy for him and create drama on set. Seemed more producer suggested than genuine. All IMO, of course.

And in July 2014 Nick's choice of words during ATFR put Andi in tough spot and blind sided Josh, in July 2015 his words did not seem to have the same effect whatsoever on K&S. Hopefully they'll continue to be happy even though franchise track record is not so hot.

(Snipped above) Oh gosh, really? If this is the case, Nick needs to stop watching Princess Bride on a loop, get off of social media and stop reading fairy tales. There are real live women out there just ready to meet him.

America does not need to see Nick Viall for three seasons in three years. No way. No thanks! :Nod:

I do not believe any lead takes the job realistically believing they will find their mate. It just isn't plausible, but they know it is slightly possible since it has happened several times.

But I certainly can see taking the role because of the financial aspect. If someone offers you a 2 month contract worth......what are they paying now? $100k to $200K? plus the ability to parlay it into more afterward if you are smart....who wouldn't need to seriously think about it?

What I can tell you at this point in time, no TB for next season has been signed. Several are still in the running. TPTB are going to hype it until they announce it. 
They will have anyone they promised the gig jumping through hoops, if they want the gig. Hopefully those getting frustrated with jumping through hoops, will tell TPTB to booger off. If TPTB  really want someone that is undecided or lukewarm, they will promise them the world. What they promise, in reality is not always delivered, unless wisely contracted.

I heard dating in Chi-town is hard. Maybe what he's looking for isn't there and wants to turn to the show to find someone from elsewhere?

Nick makes a great model!!!
