Nick Viall - Bachelorette 11 - *Spoilers - Sleuthing* - Discussion #7

Yeah...I never thought that he was THAT cocky until I heard this interview. Just a tip, maybe someone who can't spell "wit" or doesn't understand how pronouns work shouldn't be calling other people stupid.

I like Nick, I really do. I don't hate the guy and don't think he's a horrible person, but he's definitely interesting. I hope if he becomes TB that he doesn't turn into the "pig farmer" for me.

He never said he "liked" being the bad boy at all.

AAL, it's not a big deal. I got the impression he kind of liked it because of his tone and how he said "it was edgy"  but it's not really a big deal either way.

Imho, impression is one thing, and definitely a fair representation but not the same as him stating this when he didn't.

I am just confused... when posting "transcripts" or categorically summarizing what Nick did or said it is difficult to understand what is impression versus what is being said when JMO or IMO is not added.

The Nick that was on this podcast is the Nick I always expected.
Talking about TV characters vs. real life people.. jmo

I was just typing it up quickly, but I'll edit it if it matters that much...

He's so in love with himself. He'd be f1 in his own season.

This is great.
I think I just get Nick's snarky humor. He's snarky but not mean at all, imo. He had something positive to say about everyone.

I especially enjoyed how Nick was talking about the "characters" just like we do on this board (and about him too). :Nod:
He would fit right in!

Well, depending on who the 25 women would be, choosing himself as the F1 might be the best bet. I have often thought the lead would be better off choosing himself.

I have to say that maybe my favorite line of the whole podcast was when Nick is talking about Jared & Clare bungee jumping and Nick said that Jared decided that halfway through the bungee jump he went "Nope, this isn't going to work." I snorted when he said that. HYSTERICAL!

Ah, some people think it's cool to be the "bad boy". So maybe that's how he thinks of it.

We're talking about a podcast ... where bunch of commentators give their opinions about the characters they see on the show and the development of situations they are in ... with some inside scoop? ... I've watched After Paradise, Afterbuzz TV... another recap podcast with guests ... and here comes one with Nick ... nothing new...nothing surprising... IMO ... (because I'm a bit egotistical myself, writing always from/about my point of view) Snark away.

PS. ... about the "bad boy" ... I think it's about finding the positivity in everything ... and take it as "some people dig it".

^ ITA HGL...

Nick was talking like a commentator on the podcast (as a viewer), just like we post on this forum.
No different from AfterBuzz, etc.
I found Nick's comments to be spot on and exactly what many of us have posted in this thread.
He was also hilarious!

I am so glad that the Nick I always thought he was is exactly how he is on a podcast show.
He was talking from the "insider" perspective and giving inside scoop on these 'characters'.
I could listen to Nick recap this show much more than any other recappers out there, including AfterBuzz, or any of the hosts on After Paradise.

It was like reading this forum with all the differing opinions and Nick saying them all. It was great! JMO

Whatever is said of Nick... I do think that he is an intelligent, well spoken man. He is able to think and express his thoughts as though he were an all seeing entity, not on anyone's team specifically, but just a fly on the wall reporting what he sees. He can play devil's advocate and still be a good friend at the same time. All that with a sense of humor. CH might want to watch out for his job... Entertaining for sure.
