This is an example of when I don't think Nick plays nice with the other guys. He is a Bach Alum and they are in a position to support one another in their exclusive club rather take jabs and/or publish opinions of members of his own club. This is he way he is wired, IMO.

I just think he has his reasons for disliking Robby. I'm not saying they're valid necessarily or that his instincts are always right, but I think there's more to it than simply following JJ's and Tanner's lead. Nick is not a follower. JMO.

He has been the lone wolf since the beginning, and he never seem to bother by the "numbers". I mean if he wants to be in the majority, he definitely would have said and done things in a completely different way.

Well I think most of the alumni do that, no?
Even Sharleen, she's one of the most classy, says she doesn't trust Robby at all. I think Nick is not the only one who has publicly said negative things about another contestants. They all do.

That one is funny. But did you see the one of him staring at the camera while raising his eyebrows and sighing? laugh out loud

I've been pretty neutral with Nick but I don't see him as a lone wolf in this franchise at all. If anything, I think he very much wants to be in the "popular" crowd. I see him throwing shade at those who are down and sucking up to those well liked in the franchise. And I think his "diplomacy" in the past regarding contestants hasn't necessarily been sincere. I have a feeling he trash talks many of them in private even while saying nice things in public. I see him as strategic and manipulative. Almost like a male Regina George.

And what's up with those striped swim shorts? Yuck! They are worse than his chicken walk to me.

Great Post ... I totally agree that Nick is not a follower and and yes something must of happened between Nick and Robbie or he heard something that was a fact that made him post that tweet. This is not like Nick he usually smirks about the Ette/Bach but I have never seen him tweet something negative in fact it is usually positive. JMO

I would've considered him a lone wolf during and after Andi's season but he's very much part of the in crowd now with CS, Ashley I, Jared, Janner, etc. He's mostly well-liked and friendly with the popular cast from this show and I have no doubts that he was anything but a lone wolf on BiP.

All JMO.
