Nick Viall - Bachelorette 11 - *Spoilers - Sleuthing* - Discussion #6

If you wanna know who the next Bachelor is gonna be, there's a clue in Sunday night's season premiere of Bachelor in Paradise...

Apparently it's a done deal, so it has to be Ben H. or maybe Ben Z.

Doubt there's a real clue or even official decision yet. It's a trap to get us to watch BIP. I was going to do so anyway though

What in the tweet makes you think it's a done deal, Beagle?

Not watching BIP, but thanks Flies!

Sorry, I didn't read it for myself as I don't go to Steve's site. I just read a comment on another board from someone who said it seems like he (RS) is starting to think Ben may be out because they think he might be too boring and Nick might be in. Again, I can't verify if it's true or not because this was just someone else's comment.

I'm pretty sure it's a done deal. No different that usual when they tweet out a bunch of different names, but it always ends up being the guy that we originally thought it was going to be. They're just not going to pick a bachelor who millsy has retweeted crap about - kinda like how it was obvious they weren't going to pick drew after he tweeted that he seemed gay/feminine.

I don't think RS would ever say someone won't be the lead because they're too boring. He constantly says the contestants make the show, which is mostly true.

Yup, he even said that Sean is the most vanilla, boring lead they've had and his season did very well. He originally didn't think it was going to be Ben h, because he's too young, but he never said too boring. He said that Nick has no chance and he's kept to opinion.

RS's comments re Nick were recent?

Well.........Jared is on BIP. Maybe he is the clue . Jared is going to be Bachelor!

There are so many different threads discussing possibility of Nick being TB, that I don't know where to post anymore ... so let's try it here:

so there's an opinion, that Nick must be considered for TB since he had such a long segment on ATFR ... to make people sympathize with him ...
but, if (what I believe) TPTB/CH tried to make Nick talk and reveal about the relationship with Kaitlyn prior to the show ... something that would be to the similar extend as the infamous outing last year ... that would not gather much sympathy from the audience and TPTB would eventually turn that against Nick (as look at the loose lips again) ... so it was only on Nick, that he didn't speak out...

how does then their attempt reflect on their supposed interest in him as a next lead?

Or ... do you think it was all just a pretense, that CH was giving an illusive interview with Nick (&Kaitlyn), actually not wanting for Nick to spill out and hoping/knowing Nick was going to remain silent on the matter, to correct his edit? (I don't find this that plausible, but just throwing it out here to think)

IMO, of course Millsy tweets the bad and the good! They don't care if you are watching because you like the lead or hate the lead, just that you are watching. Millsy is simply drumming up interest. I totally believe it's Nicks to lose...poor CH (NOT)...I would be happy to see Harrison have to eat his words. He obviously is not the decision maker. Sorry, can't take the weasle!!!

Lots posted in the Nick fan thread about Nick being next lead.
May need to bring over to possible Bachelor thread for discussion.
