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

From Nick's various interviews:
- when asked about whether so and or so and so (franchise peeps) are his closest friend, he answered that his closest friends are his childhood friends. He's coming 36 and his friends are in that age range.  Many have children.  His "person" needs to have a lifestyle that doesn't have to significantly change to fit in with a mid-30s dynamic
- when asked about his modelling he said he does and then went on to talk about Salesforce; what a great company it was and how there was an open invitation to return in the future. He may do whatever in the short term but I sense this may be his possible long term goal.  
I also suspect that he has ventured into something with Kyle.  Kyle is around 30 but is semi- retired after making a big sale of coveted software he designed. Ever wonder how Nick manages financially by modelling casually?  Could be a collaboration is paying off.

I don't think Nick is looking for a seat in the power couple bleachers.
He likes doing interviews and does attend some events but that runs consecutive with a season he's on. I think appearing on Ben's new show may be a contractual obligation as he is still under contract - extended now because of BIP.
He does shill but some of it definitely ties to his modelling because some of the shoot stylists/photographers tagged the brands he was wearing on their own IG posts.

Tough to find a special someone who isn't it in for shilling as a main income or who wouldn't be disappointed in a limited spotlight. He himself said some people just want to attach themselves to a fan favorite. Now that he is one, he is rightly on guard.

I'm calling myself out. I knew it was a bait, coming with "no surprises". You got me good Nick. It's like... "you get what you were asking for". Thanks a lot, my biggest nightmare.

huh?

Ahaha, my reference is to my previous post on the other page. Considering I didn't want him as the next bach. Not that it's a mistake, just one giant challenge to keep the cool.

Makes me a little sad that the Bachelor is someone we've seen Sooo many times already, it's such old news. Like his 4th entire season. Ugh. And I do like him, he's hot and funny but still. I wish it was someone fresh. I've seen too much of Nick. I'm weirdly emotional about it , . And feel sad for Jen.

^^^my thoughts exactly! I thought it was a joke. Seriously, wtf. I was ready for someone a bit "fresher" in the franchise. Shoot, no wonder he has been chugging and spewing the franchise kool-aid in all his recent interviews.

Seriously?!?

I don't feel bad about Jen as she was dating someone else while she was on the show filming (and no Nick didn't know this while on the show). I know this because the guy was the younger brother of my friend which I learned last week and shared with some on this forum

Onwards and upwards for Nick!

I am thrilled that Nick will be next Bachelor. Think he'll be awesome. Only hope they don't cast 22 year Olds. Need women 27 - 30 for him.

Can't wait!

Wow! I hope he dumped her too? That's just sleazy.

Ahh, thanks for finally spilling the beans. So she's not an innocent heartbroken flower.
Anyways, it'll be interesting to see next week how Nick's storyline plays out with her.

My thoughts... just kind of ... yuck.

So, TPTB brought him back on BIP so the public could get reacquainted with him for his season. Well played, TPTB. Well played.
