Is this IG or Twitter? I can't seem to find it. Please check the username. TYIA

I'm going to unload some thoughts here, in our safe haven, because I value all the years we have traveled the highs & lows.  

On BIP I believe the albatross of Nick's tv journeys is slowly coming to light.
"Ah! well a-day! what evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung. " - Coolridge

Weary, oh so weary, and poignant.  I sense uncertainty.  
While filming he had no knowledge of his turn of fortune, no idea the tide had shifted in his favor from polarizing to ambiguous fan favorite. If he were to pursue a relationship once again, over what threshold of reality would he carry her when all was said and done?  Would there be a return to that vile barrage of SM that came his way when last he shared stage with his now nemesis Josh?  And if so, it would most certainly attach itself to any woman he chose. And what of the experience itself?  The PROCESS.  The vehicle that hit the guard rail not once but twice.  To a contemplative, introspective man a logical conclusion might be that he was driving drunk on love in 2 Bette seasons and thus the signs were blurred. Deep tissue damage twice.
What I remember from being in a near fatal car accident is the pain.  It consumes for days and months.  It makes you pain adverse.  An ordinary thing like driving becomes an irrationally complicated thing that no matter how aware of the silliness you may be, the anticipation of ache lingers... if only for an elongated second.
"Runner up" "third times a charm" " loser" "a joke" "rejectee" - the pain reflex lives on, me thinks. He hinted of this to Tanner & Jade.  "Try" was Tanner's response.  He summed it up for Jen - to try could write his fate in permanent ink on a trivial pursuit card. His face slipped.  He broke the fourth wall while willing his words out. I believe "strained" applies. The strain that comes from his knowledge of all that could shower down once again in sufficient volume to labor his breathing and stress an already compromised heart.  It's not whether she is right for him or not; its whether he can overcome himself and "try".

He's a gifted narrator.  He's a valued friend.  He's showing his strengths but deeper lies IMO a somewhat haunted soul that on that lanterned bed on the sand let a small shaft of light shine, in his conversation with Jen, of what it means to be the real Nicholas Viall.  I thank him for trusting her enough to share what I think we already suspected... there is hurt.

Love this post. Beautifully written and I agree that the way he answered Jen showed the real answer. I am hoping/ thinking there will be a focus on their story tonight. I also think there must be a lot more footage of them to show that will shed light on how both are vibing together. Time will tell- as in all things.

[lleyki]

OMG NICK IS THE BACHELOR!!!!!!!

Yup, pretty much my reaction. I wrote it off as impossible first because well, the whole two runner-up thing and because he's in the finale of BIP next week. Like way to give away nothing happens between him and Jennifer.

WHAT??? He IS the one???

Yup, it's official.

Well! How about that Nick fans?!!! It's been a long time coming that he is known for who he truly is. Funny thing is, he's the same Nick that has 20 threads!
