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

I was talking about Nick because this is Nick's thread. It doesn't mean he's the only one.

I think it is great that finally Nick gets some perks out of this show. He is being sought out by designers for modeling gigs, going on podcast and making it real, has his IG account verified by which is very hard to do while staying true to who he is. I also think there are greater things coming Nicks way without the help of TPTB. To me he is the winner of this season. JMO

ITA! If others can do it and be loved and sell and promote candles shirtless then at least Nick has some professional photos and is signed to Wilhelmina and also has a great job (or even a job). He has nothing to lose and everything to gain. The comments on his IG are also very supportive of him and love his photos, especially the model ones and shirtless ones and those who have listened to his podcasts say they love it - even those who say they never liked him are tweeting they like him now because of his podcasts. Nick is definitely winning, imo!

You don't do the show twice, do a press tour, IG yourself in your underwear multiple times, model, and launch a website all about yourself unless you're looking for some attention and fame.

Precisely. He isn't the first and he won't be the last. But let's call a spade, a spade.

Agree with both. It is Nick's right of course.

Let's be real...Nick likes attention the way most of us like oxygen.

ITA Whit and AAL!

I am also under the belief that Nick was not out and out attention seeking, as he's often been accused of. It is my opinion that he simply just did not shy away from any of the attention that inevitably came his way and in fact, embraced said attention and built upon it to be used to his advantage. Sounds like a man opening as many doors and windows to as many opportunities as possible. I find this very appealing and I believe many women will too once his brand gets out there more

I have zero complaints about Nick utilizing his intelligence, and exposure on the show to parlay that into a more profitable future.  Lord knows he deserves it.

Posting shirtless pictures on IG = attention seeking. This is a universal truth especially especially when the situation doesn't call for being shirtless.

Yeah, well at least he isn't on snapchat and periscope, sharing his every waking and breathing moment with the rest of the world.

I dunno, some situations I can understand Nick's behavior perfectly. For example, I know I usually start taking off my pants and showing my panties when I drink coffee. I'm a hit at the local starbies, let me tell you.

I call it, building upon the attention already coming his way. Wouldn't most of us if we were in the same position at the same age? I would hope we would leave no stone unturned to the possibilities of the big 'ol world
