Nikki out with her brother in law yesterday at the beach

Umm, interesting Ep 9 sneak peek. Richie has called Rachel beautiful and a woman and at the end of this clip says what he can see is an incredibly beautifull woman

wow!!! 
Woman. Incredibly. Beautiful. 
 Where have I heard those words before? 
Absolutely stunning

Olena's sister posted a pic of herself standing in front of a big banana. Just random I guess. Was this posted before?

It was posted on the 6 August. Random maybe.

I hear you. Although I'm not sure he actually says that about Rachel, he could be saying it about Alex for all we know. Honestly if he makes Olena come out of her shell just so he could conquer the international model and then dump her Im going to be upset. He keeps rehashing the same words for all the women. I actually liked his date with Olena because he seemed to display a bit more of a personality and was far more animated than he was on other dates. But he is actually starting to sound very insincere and almost sleazy. He has infact on par with Blakes record for the number of women he has kissed. He has to kiss Stephanie the Intruder and he has the record. Thats saying something.

Did anyone else pick up that he is actually wearing a different suit and shirt when he is talking to Olena and she is crying in the promo. Something else must go down on Thursday's episode. Im wondering if this is the CP after Nikki's one on one date with the vintage car and perhaps she is unsure why she is there.

I think this article states how I feel regarding the kissing. He has kissed a lot of girls but only see a real connection and emotion on SD2 with Olena. I have been a fan of Richie since Sam F session however have become a bigger fan of Olena. Never felt so invested in a female tv personality. A fab mentor for young woman. IMO Richie could have met a woman like Nikki (even Nikki given their connections) prior the show however elected not too. IMO he was looking for an "Olena". He has made it clear that he does not want to get married however live with someone, travel and experience life as a couple first. On 2SD he did VO "I want to give this relationship every chance to succeed". Like Fifty, if Olena does open up and becomes her vulnerable then I would be bitterly disappointed in Richie if she is not F1. I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster and Im just a viewer!

Hey [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]!
I just wanted to say thank you for your comments because I really am enjoying it to read them. We think almost similar and you are giving me a little hope. Because I kinda prepared myself for a huge disappointment and a heartbreak. But every time I see your posts I`m feeling a little bit better.

Maybe I´m crazy but I just don`t see it with Nikki. They have a vibe of a sister and brother relationship. It´s the opposite with Olena. There is everything there. The chemistry, the chase, the romance, the maturity, the beauty. And I can`t imagine how cruel someone can be knowing that this young woman is opening up to you and never experienced a heartbreak before and she is starting to trust you and is letting her guards down and you are crushing her on a national TV. I´m gonna lose all my respect for Richie if he is capable of that. I mean Ben reassured Jo Jo too and she was not his F1. But he needed her there as a friend. Maybe it`s the same with Richie and Nikki?!

There are also a few little things that doesn`t make sense if Olena is not his F1. I mean the thing with the eyes. He is mentioning it only with Olena. And is it a coincidence that he is saying the exact same thing during his FB interview with Osher?! Plus when Olena was paped it seems to me like she was prepared for it. Like she knew that she is going to be paped during her sport session. That`s the reason why she had make up on her face. Maybe it was staged to let us think that she can`t be the F1?! And Nikki seems really not like a happy woman in love on the new pics. Her eyes are empty in contrast to Olena. Oh and one more thing, Richie said in one of his interviews that he knew it from the first time he saw her. In my opinion it fits more to Olena than to Nikki. Because he said to Olena on their second SD that the first time he saw her in her jumpsuit he was blown away.

So yeah that`s basically what I got.

You are not alone in that team. Trust me I´m feeling the same. That`s why I´m not gonna watch the next episodes. I don`t want to be crushed and burned like that. But I`m really enjoying to read you guys. It´s like a little flame that keeps me warm

I agree with this 100%!!! That in a nutshell is exaclty how I'm perceiving everything, especially with the Nikki relationship vibes - not as strong as Olena. And also, I too get the very invested feeling for Olena, like I like her even more than Richie, she makes this show for me!!

You know the thing is, and I´m not bashing Nikki or something, but with Nikki I have the feeling like she is not questioning if Richie is the right person for her. It was like she immediately was falling for him because he is Richie from the Bachelorette and now the Bachelor. It is different with Olena, she has a depth to her it`s actually remarkable for a 23 years old woman. All her conversations with Richie have a meaning to it. Before let her guards down she is questioning him and is trying to find out if they are a good match. And she likes him that`s the reason why she is struggling to let her walls down. Because she knows that the moment she is letting them down she is going to fall hard for him and it`s scares her because there are a plenty other women who wants to be with him.

"It´s easy to say but hard to do because I have been protecting myself for so long." ..... "I haven`t had my heart broken because of my protection." .... "But I´m definitely trying, I do ...I am telling you how I feel, I do...I do like you in many ways. You have, you know, amazing qualities about you. And I am putting myself out there just...if I go into details about describing my feelings to you like...too much...it`s just that`s when I`m become vulnerable. And that`s kinda scary. But I just wanna to let you know if I´m not showing enough that`s maybe my scare I might be pulled back because of the situation I´m in."

She explained it beautifully. It´s another great quality of her to speak up about your feelings. Not every one is capable to do it like her.
