If RS is to be believed, TPTB did to Nick this year what they did to Arie last year.

The fact is they did exactly what I said they would: they played Nick. Guess what? They hired Nick a personal trainer. Just like they did Arie last season. Womp wooooooooooooomp. Sorry bud. It was Ben and they played you like a fiddle making you think you had a chance.

Source:RS

He got played because he got a personal trainer and a great body out of it? Hmm.. I could use some serious playing. Why is no one playing me?
I have a feeling Nick has had something else up his sleeve all along. JMO

ITA, Kasha. :Nod:
I would like to be played too, please.
Paid, played. Yes, please.

Here is my preferential list for returnee's: Andrew Firestone, Roberto. Otherwise, I would love it if they went back to their original formula with a new candidate instead of a retread. Jason was the first retread, and we've had retreads ever since with the exception of Matt, at least I think Matts season was after Jason.

Wasn't Blob the first retread? Trista was the first female retread I know.

I forgot about Blob, not hard to do.

This is my worry with Ben. We barely got a chance to see how his conversation skills play out.
But we have had too much of Nick on this show so its really a bad toss up.

Not knowing too much about Ben H. could be a very good thing - his season could be totally refreshing.  I am betting he is one sexy lover under the quiet, nice guy persona and the ladies will love him.  Nothing like a tall dark mysterious man to capture a ladies heart. JMO.  

Yes it was Bob, isittrue. Really when you look back at the list there weren't very many good Bachelors, new or retreads.

The US article isn't meant to be an announcement so am not surprised at what they had to say about Ben. When the show announces TB there will be some major spin as always. I'd rather it be Jared or Cupcake but Ben seems to be a nice guy and isn't hard to look at. I'm sure the women will be ecstatic if he's the one.

I try to forget about him as well...

I look forward to a mellow but articulate bachelor with drama mainly from the women (and Tenley!?) . I personally am happy for Nick to continue enjoying his life as he currently is . Btw, I read it on this forum that Nick's body is not new and that Andi confirmed he had a very good body on her season

Oh gosh, after this last season "refreshing has taken on a new, and slightly unsavory, meaning for me....

How about novel, different and/or unique then.

This ol thing is a wash, rinse, repeat cycle. Different season, same formula, no surprise here that it's Ben H IMO. TPTB used Nick to get folks to keep talking about their show & they accomplished what they wanted. Mazel tov to Ben H & he better be praying his edit is no worse than the average TPTB shenanigan. Hope Nick finds his forever in Chicago or wherever & stays far away from this franchise going forward, TPTB aint his friend & the sooner he realizes that the better, all JMHO.
