He loves living in LA, modeling, being in the Bach circle. So, someone like Whitney, who went right back to regular life after the show, wouldn't work for/with him. IMO.

Whitney and Nick are a terrible match. She just has characteristics he NEEDS *if* he wants something real out of this. He's so intrenched in Bachelor universe. For something real, he needs a grounded woman, strong, career focused without the fame bug. Those are the characteristics Whitney has that Nick needs. Someone to extract him back into real life and screw his head back on straight after his 3+ year Bach vacation.

If he wants to stay in make believe LaLa land and picks accordingly, this won't work for him. His prerogative.

ETA: Molly!!! Whoever said it, perfect. He needs a Molly. Smart, loyal, kinda tough and firecracky, strong, career focused, has a little bit of the fame bug, but also very normal and retreats to normal life. That's Nick's prototype for sure!

I haven't watched a second of BIP, not my cup of tea. But I would love to see Caila/Nick type of date. She's not forward like Andi but she's a smart cookie. Did she have a bad/different edit on BIP?

As someone said, bring the popcorn!  

I wonder how the producers will package him as far as his profession.  Software salesman extraordinaire?  Aspiring underwear model? Reality show "star"?  Professional runner up?  The possibilities are endless.

But it's possible that Nick, Josh, and perhaps even Wells were invited to Paradise partly with an eye to seeing how they did. And now that people see you can get recruited for lead from Paradise, it will make it that much easier to fill the 28-30 Paradise slots without having to go with a "Who is that?" from a long-ago and faraway season as a selection.

One thing that I noticed on Paradise (especially early on, before he paired off with Jen,) was how the women flocked to Nick as a friend. You would see him sitting on the beach, surrounded by the ladies. I think they trusted him and felt safe around him. So I think that he will make a terrific lead. If nothing else, the women in the house are going to love him as a friend. And I think that will be his whole approach as a series veteran, to make sure that he is a great Bachelor "host" and ambassador to the newly arriving cast members.

I came on board during Andi's season, so I can't off the top of my head think of a cast member who has had the right personality type for him. I did find it surprising that he was initially attracted to Amanda on Paradise. IMO Amanda, although quite beautiful, is too soft, sweet, and submissive a personality type for him. At the same time, I think he does need an element of sweetness and kindness to balance the outgoing and somewhat sassy characteristics of his ideal woman.

You know what I think he's going to need more than any other characteristic in a woman? Intelligence. Not necessarily (and likely NOT) intellectual, but smart. Nick is a good conversationalist and he is going to need a woman that keep up with him in that regard. Along with that, confidence, an outgoing personality, quietly assertive when needed, not afraid to call him out, sassy at times, and fun, with an underlying sweetness and kindness. JMO.

I also think that Nick will fall head-over-heels, no doubt, so I *really* hope he picks well and finds the right one. He has a big heart and it's his time.

Nor do I think a Whitney would want someone who's been on a break from his career for a year and a half already. It's better to find someone who's on the same page as far as aspirations go.

I just watched the end of AP again, and Nick looked soooo happy when the others were on stage congratulating him. I want to see that genuine smile and excitement over a woman.

Nothing I've seen indicates that he is attracted to someone who is a shrew, so I disagree. He likes strong women, but not the ball buster type as most assume. Of course, I'm making assumptions myself, but I think you can tell a lot about someone based on who they surround themselves with. And from what I've seen, his sisters, mom, female friends, meaning girls he is close to, are not the over bearing type.

He really liked Andi, but Andi misrepresented herself to those guys on that season.

I'm going with what Marcos said about his type, and what he is looking for.They've been best friends for over 25 years. He knows Nick.

I'm going with a Daenerys Targaryen doppelgänger.
