Nick Viall - BIP - Season 3 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I just don't see Nick proposing and risking a 3rd tv rejection. I'm guessing they ended it as friends but you never know.

Seems like now I only see him with that "LA Confidant" (Bach groupie) and Bach people. I think this franchise has truly become the sole focus of his life right now.

Aren't his pre-Bachelorette friends in Chicago/Milwaukee?

Yes.
He was with his pre bachelorette friends and family for a several days pre and post filming BIP including some of his best friends from before the show. Based on his SM and such

^^^Yes, but he seems to have left that life behind and is just focused more on Bach people/events now.  I remember RS saying that he heard Nick's old Chicago friends didn't like the way he changed after the show.  Maybe Nick has just found his niche in LA.  Nothing wrong with that. Life seems to be treating him well.

Nick still is great friends with his old friends from when he was young and still does things with them so he hasn't left any of his old friends behind. TBH, I think it is just life. People get married, busy, move, etc. To me, Nick just has more friends now in more places and that's a great thing. Always a good thing to have friends in all places.

That's great to hear that he's still friends with his pre-Bachelorette crew.

He didn't annoy me on the first episode surprise surprise now let's see what happens when Hurricane Josh shows up!

^^ Yeah, it's pretty great that Nick is still friends with his old friends. Speaking for myself, it's hard to keep friendships at the same level one may have had when one was younger, what with life changes and so on, so for me it's quite normal to check in with close friends (especially those that live out of state) every once in a while.

Many friendships just drift apart later in life, so with Nick living in Chicago and now in LA, that Nick has still made time for his friends in Wisconsin and then in Chicago, is a testament to Nick that he values his friends, imo.

I think he's just in general very sociable and easy to get along with, so the newer bach bunch easily befriend him and navigate toward him.

I might be an odd one out, but I like Nick. I've always loved him on the afterbuzz, and outside of the tired and drawn out 'feud' with Josh, he's a great addition to BIP. Jmo.

Nick fans will tune in hoping to see him finally "win"  with an engagement.

Having lived through the bubble twice, and gotten burned twice, I think Nick probably went to Mexico with realistic expectations- to see if he would meet a woman he connected with, and if so, quietly continue dating in real life.  I really doubt he was thinking of proposing after 2 weeks.  To "officially"  leave Paradise as a couple, Nick and Jen  would be inviting scrutiny for  a new dating relationship.   Makes sense to me  that   Nick and Jen would choose to "break up" for show purposes, and try quietly dating in real life, fly under the radar (except for super sleuthers of course ) .

JMO.

I could see your scenario for sure. One thing I think of when Nick is shown saying how he knows she is the one, etc is that could be an incomplete thought where they show him saying that but who knows if just 15 seconds before that part he is saying something like "I want to be able to say........then the "I know she's the one, I love her..." With the editing you never know. It would explain how they are not engaged. It does seem post show SM indicates both have interest still towards each other so we shall see. I do think they make a very beautiful looking couple. I'm not upset at all about Amanda choosing Josh as she was never one I rooted for. I don't despise her or anything but definitely don't see her as a match for Nick (JMO) and I will leave it at that. Nick certainly didn't spend too much time mourning his "loss" to Josh. I think Nick was interested in Jen from when she was first shown on Ben's season. He seemed to follow her on SM early on so it will be interesting to see their interaction on BIP. Obviously both are attracted to one another per previews. Hopefully we get to see some telling conversation as well.

Nick and Sarah on KTLA this morning:

Always interesting to me that they select Nick to represent the show.

I don't think he's representing the show because they're so impressed with him. He's incredibly controversial so people know who he is and that's what they want: for people to talk about the show, no matter if someone like Chad is representing it. All jmo.

That's a local show and both Sarah and Nick live in LA. I think it's as simple as that. **IMO**
