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

I would also think that everyone would be over whatever happened by now, especially if the worse thing that can be said is she was a crybaby for attention. But I guess not. Of course the season just started airing so it might be bringing everything they felt then, back up again.

Let me get this straight? Noone knows what they are talking about and it is a bitchfest? Interesting!!!!!

I wouldn't call it a bitchfest but I definitely read it as very snarky. And the whole "never forget" and sort of *wink, wink* tone of the comments makes it unlikely, in my opinion, that there isn't a specific story/incident behind their comments. Basically, in plain internet speak, I felt like there was obvious shade being thrown at somebody.

The show pits the cast against each other constantly. How many times have we seen the cast divided into teams thinking they are going to get something special or a competition with the cast and the winner thinks they are going to get something special only to have that idea yanked right out from under them like Lucy and the football? It makes the winner look like a poor sport/sports if they don't act gracious in return.
TPTB thrive on this stuff.

Winners - Raven, Corrine and Rachel
Losers - Vanessa, Danielle M and Jasmine

The preview shows Vanessa and Danielle in tears so I'd buy that the other girls saw them as attention seeking.  But heck it worked. They got his attention and he let them all stay.  

Nice work! Looking forward to all the drama.

I agree the girls may well be talking about Vanessa but I doubt it is about a volleyball group date. I suspect she cried over something else, of more substance. Also don't like the tone of them having a gang up on someone, sour grapes perhaps. Or maybe someone we dont suspect was the crier & all will be revealed later.

Probably the volleyball game wasn't the main issue, but rather just another straw for the camel's back.

Also I think it is in poor taste to use IG comments to express snarky things about an outside party even if they are in code and abstract. It is "gossipy" and caddy. So while we may not know who or what the comments are about, I still have a slightly more negative view of each of the involved parties making comments about others in a partially public setting.

Good detective work, @coolangel! I'm so curious who/what they are talking about ... any chance this will get cleared up by someone?

My "wrong reasons" viewer side is entertained but yeah, real world wise, a bit catty in the comments if it's about another party and not one of them (then it would be fine if the party in question is in on the joke IMO).

I would expect this immature behavior from Corrine but Rachel really? You are 31 years old girl...

My thoughts exactly. I can understand being annoyed with someone during filming and getting into some arguments, but having an insider snarkfest about it in IG comments months later? Bitchy is the word I'd use. Get over it ladies, or at least keep it private. JMO.

If Vanessa acts like Britt and lets all her emotions out all the time, I'll probably be annoyed too though. I hope she'll be less dramatic.

Yeah this just makes me sad. Not needed. Catty even, in my opinion.

I had guessed Vanessa was upset about Danielle being let go. If Rachel, Raven and Corrine were a clique, I can see tough times for Vanessa esp if she was his main interest. Somehow 'his stupid choices' and not winning a volleyball match don't quite match up for me.

The losing team may have gotten frustrated, but there is a lot of drama in that scene with Vanessa. I just think the tension in house came to a boiling point. Poor Nick finding the one and maintaining interesting women obviously wasn't so easy.

Can someone remember or post the "incorrect" spoiler regarding Vanessa from earlier this season? The one that said she was causing trouble and was out much earlier than was expected? Might there be something to part of that?

The CFA might not even stand for "crying for attention." We don't even know what the whole convo is all about, so how can we pass judgement on them based on our assumptions that could be wildly incorrect? It's weird.

At first, I thought CFA meant chick fil a
