Josh Murray - Bachelorette 10 - Discussion - #9

There are a lot of photos of Nick posted from the Valentine's event  Josh...not so much. I wonder if women bid on a date with Josh like they did with Nick

How do we know Nick is looking at him? Maybe he is looking at someone else in the outer part of the photo not shown? JMHO

Nick and Josh get along fine.  They have both moved on from the past baggage.

I know I didn't mean over at Josh just in that direction just weird to me since everyone was looking at the camera.

ETA: And I saw the bids posts on the Cosmo article. (thanks Jen!)

Not much demand for Josh. And he thought he could be the Bachelor.

I was surprised too. I thought he would have commanded more money for a great cause. Anyway, it seems like he's old news, but Michael was in higher demand ?

A friend of mine was at the event and said the bidding for Josh was low because he came with a date/girlfriend.

The article said Michael Garafalo was going to go for about $700 until he got up and started talking about his puppy/kitten which compelled people to bid higher. Drunk women will do crazy things in the moment and it sounds like the booze was flowing freely last night.

It also sounds like the woman who bid so high for Nick may have regretted it afterwards, LOL. It is a LOT of money.  

I am surprised that Josh didn't have a higher bid, but I think there may be a few reasons for that.  I think Kaitlyn's guys, like Ben Z and Jared got a lot more press and media than the guys of Andi's season and are still very front and center with all things Bachelor related, including being shown in the Bachelor Special last night.  And then there is Nick, who posts a ton of shirtless selfies driving his female fans to a frenzy.  Not everyone likes Nick so much, but those that do really like him.  Josh has taken a bit of a beating with the breakup and I think that has hurt him in the eyes of a lot of women who are still big Andi fans.  As far as Josh having fewer pics posted last night, he may have had fewer IG mentions than Nick, but he still had more than most of the others.

Overall, I take the final bids on these guys with a grain of salt.  Josh appeared to be having a great time last night, and seemed to be getting along just fine with the other guys. All is good.

Oh this makes a lot of sense! I saw an IG post from a girl who worked the event. Someone commented about Josh being hot and the girl replied back with..." but he's not single!" I thought maybe she was joking that she wanted him for herself so he was therefore "not single". The comment was deleted a few hours later.

If Josh has a girlfriend he should have declined to be part of the Valentine's event. Is he insecure and can't go places alone  
If women weren't bidding because he brought someone he did the fundraiser a disservice. They could have raised more money if he was alone JMO

ITA. considering this event is a fund raiser for pediatric cancer, a cause he's supported in the past. Why brining a date to lower his appeal and potentially not to raise more money? He can bring his date anywhere but not to this particular event. Jmo.
