So it's your opinion that you thought he would go back to back, correct? Okay, just want to clear things up. Facts can be completely different than our opinions. Thank you for clarify.

Your were right, Linds... He said something about being done last year.  Although the I guess since he used "I guess" and "probably" he gave himself some wiggle room.

my time with The Bachelor franchise — although I have no regrets — my guess is that it’s probably past,” the 34-year-old admitted.

I admit I skipped Andi's season and was neutral about him going into Kait's three ring circus of a season.  I liked that he seemed different from a lot of the typical lot that go on the show.  He was normal, had a real job, went back to a real job, etc., but all went out the window after Kait's season.  He's no different than any of the others that crave the drama and attention the show brings/provides them.  Doesn't make him bad or awful, but he's no different from them now... He's just another one of the bach nation gang grabbing and grasping at any little bit of fame and attention he can get.  JMOAA

People praise Ben H for wanting to be a politician, but hate Nick simply not going back to work and enjoy life. I don't get it.

Ok then he lied 2 years ago since he went back on the show....

Lied?
Maybe you have missed that, he did go back to work after Andi's season, that was the time when he said he would go back. After Kaitlyn's season, I don't recall he said the same thing. If you have source, please share the link showing how he lied.

And funny thing is, he could change his mind about what he wants in life. I see most of other contestants git praised for embracing whatever opportunities that comes, but only Nick has to stay in software sales. This really is what made me confused. Why he has to be hold to a different standard? He's a jerk, I got it. Then put him under jerks standard. But why put a jerk under a saint standard and examine his every moves to prove he is no saint?

ETA: I think he never said he's done after Andi's season, and then he said he's done with "the Bachelorette" only after Kaitlyn's season. Big difference, please note.

Isn't the bold the same thing Andi did that she is getting so much abuse about? She didn't go back to being a lawyer and is getting crucified about....so why shouldn't that be the same with Nick when he changed job?

JMHO is that both of them should be able to change jobs without being criticized I'm not a Nick fan but totally understand his choice.

When I use probably in a situation as above, I am giving myself LOTS of wiggle room. Otherwise, the word prob. would not be there.
JMO--I have to wonder if bigger bucks were offered to get him back esp. if a certain box of rocks joins him simultaneously on BIP. I can see TPTB sweetening that pot for both of them to cause some major shade on a past female cast person. It's a once in a TB lifetime with the timing. Could be gold.

I think he said the same on some podcast. Or maybe I just misheard since all he does is MUMBLE.

That is all there is now. His last charity endeavor was in November, since it has all been paid appearances to line his pocket.  How like every other famewhore from this franchise. Yuck.

Nick said he was done, he said he would go back to his steady job.  Three shows in three years, enough already.

I was a fan, but I feel like he is reverting from a grownup to a D list celebrity. Man to overgrown boy with no purpose.  I will enjoy snarking this time without any pity.

Agree! I should just follow you around stuck! There will be lots of snark for sure.

^^Nick strikes me as if he is going through a mid-life crisis, like some guys buy a flashy red sports car or a big boat, Nick has to go after the woman in this franchise.  JMO.  :Auto:

IA!  He needs to realize there are women outside of bachnation and its ok to date them!  A film crew, host and camera(s) are not required to go on a date.

I have the same thinking per bold.

Your probably right.  But they should've come as a package deal, all (#1, #25 and #26) or none.  And honestly the melt down that could result from the one that numbered them, could be hilarious but...not sure it's worth dealing with the drama that will surround each guy that shows up.  Cause you know there's gonna be drama.

Next TPTB will have JPG show up and then M&I Dorkman.
