Bachelor 21 - Nick Viall - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #3

Nick never said that. CH is saying that in interviews.

On the Aug 15 Afterbuzz toward the end Nick said he was not a fan of the final 6 on Jo Jo season because they edited themselves. Nick then talked about how much he liked Ashley I and the twins because they are so genuine. This podcast was also the one that Nick went on aND on aND on about there beng no such thing as an edit on the Bachelor franchise shows.

In another podcast interview, and I will have to find it but I got the link on this site, a female interviewer asked him about his current career aspirations. That is when he said that Salesforce was so gracious in letting him go follow his dream. He said that he got positive encouragement from people in the business so he moved to LA, taking some classes and trying to get a career going on tv.

Seriously, why else would someone quit a job he loved and a company he loved to move to LA? And, if you are trying to start a career in entertainment industry and your only experience is reality tv, I think it is not such a leap to understand why he would take classes.

It was also my opinion that Nick is not more deserving or genuine in looking for love than others in consideration. I think every person who puts themselves out there clearly has an agenda beyond love, including Nick.

Hilarious!

I re-listened to the Juliet Litman podcast where he discussed Salesforce/his current "yoloing" and I didn't hear anything about taking classes or tv ... I did hear modelling and "entertainment stuff" being mentioned specifically though. So I mean, I guess it's up to one's own speculation what "entertainment stuff" entails, but yeah, I didn't hear anything specific about classes, acting or otherwise that I can recall. 

Here's a link if anyone wants to listen/re-listen:

I enjoyed  hearing it again because love him or hate him, Nick is always interesting IMO. I still side eye him a bit for his subtle shading of my other fave, Caila, especially in this particular podcast (based on my own interpretation), but overall I  Nick and think he'll make a very compelling Bachelor (even if we don't agree on everything/everyone, which is normal) 

He has been doing entertainment stuff that is known.  
Afterbuzz tv - as a guest as well as several appearances as a stand in host. Show focuses on Bette, Bach or BIP
Generic:
Here to make friends podcast - guest host
Bustle - sex and relationships podcast
Straight up with Stassi podcast
Alexa Losey YouTube channel - How to get over a break up

These are a few of his appearances that would be considered "entertainment" or lifestyle media. Most spend little time on his Bette appearances and are more focused on relationships in general from a guy's perspective.

^oh yes, I've seen heard most of those   
What I meant re. "entertainment  stuff" being open to one's own speculation is that one could guess/assume that this includes taking acting classes, but I didn't hear him mention specifically that he was taking acting classes. 

At any rate, I'm super excited about this upcoming season and can't wait to enjoy all the sleuthing & discussion on this board

It could have been modelling classes for all we know. I listened to an AfterBuzz where he talked about there is no edit, but I guess it was the wrong one. I didn't hear that comment.

If someone knows exactly which one, please post the link so I can listen to it. TYIA

Is there a link for this interview?

The only interview I have heard (Juliet Litman's interview) and going in depth about Salesforce encouraging him to "yolo" and that he can come back any time but I never heard Nick say he was "taking classes and trying to get a career going on tv" so if there is another interview where he mentions he is taking classes regarding acting will be great to hear it. TIA

@GuardianAngel & @AllAboutLove   I believe the podcast in question (re. Salesforce/entertainment) is the Juliet Litman one. ( @MVMom39forever can cmiiw):

I re-listened and posted some thoughts upthread  I didn't hear anything about any kind of classes specifically, just that he was exploring "entertainment stuff".

Thanks @TheWrongReasons but the link is suppose to be from After Buzz.

I don't think Nick is above taking the Bachelor gig to promote his career. On the other hand he is 35 and hasn't settled down yet; so maybe the added bonus to the show will be that he will find his HEA. JMHO.

US weekly magazine wrote on Aug 9 2016 in reference to Jost tweeting about Nick..... excerpt takes as follows...
He (Josh) wrote about Viall. "Funny how someone who is pursuing acting is questioning my intentions and whether or not I'm acting." This is a reference to Viall's move to Los Angeles, where he has taken acting classes and has worked as a model. This is taken verbatim from US.
The article is about the Josh, Nick, Amanda drama on BIP.
I know Nick has done a few gigs in Hollywood. It would not surprise me if he has taken some classes as it is very common to do so in LA when trying for an entertainment career.
JMO based on watching Nick way to closely.    

He will be 36 around the time they start filming. I heard on AfterBuzz he mentioned his twitter has 28 in it because that's his birthday. Then asked when is his birthday he said Sept 28. If he is engaged after TB, he could potentially be 38 yrs old before he gets married.
