She is? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere else! It would be pretty funny if 2/4 of Nick's girls are lawyers.

I mean he has a type.... Hopefully they dont end up moving to NYC to display panties on the stovetop.

Honestly I can't decide if I have been awwwed by any pre season pictures or video except that BSB moment Kristina that is probably so minor it gets cut and she goes home that epi. Raven could be a dark horse. I feel like we just don't know. Have we had any pictures or video of him kissing anyone?

Kissing
Danielle Lo - on stage
Rachel - on the street with umbrellas
Dani - on the ferris wheel

Bum pat:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] how do you know the HTD will be at a certain location? It could not be at her parent's home and be at another family members or a business. This has been done often in the past. The meeting the family and meal could be done anywhere in that hometown. It's certainly not always done in the family home.
Personally, just me, no--I would not drive 6 hours to do this, but I prob would not drive 6 hours one way to see many people. 6 hours round trip--still would be pushing it for me. That's me.

I decided 6 hours was too much for these old bone, especially since I was getting a late start and had no one to go with me. I figured with Hoxie having around 3,000 population, I could pretty easily find out where filming was taking place. I was going to stop in Jonesboro at Grey Suede to see if they were filming there and/or to get leads.

I would have done that with you except I'm nowhere near Hoxie.

Reminds me of the poster with the little red sports car, that would drive out to the mansion and scope it out for us. We'd pretend we were in that little red car.

I woulda offered to go with you - I'm about 2 hrs from Hoxie - but I've got a full day already. I wish I'd known before I set up my day!!

I did hear they are not filming in Jonesboro where Grey Suede is, but that's all I know. Wish I'd known a day sooner to head that way. It would have been fun. I would have been happy to meet you, BKay!

Does Raven actually own this shop, or is she just managing it?  If she is the owner, I can't really see her leaving her business, and I just can't see Nick moving to Arkansas. jmo

She certainly has business savvy based on what you found [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Kudos to Raven for all she has accomplished in her mid-20s and for entering law school.
My rhetorical question: does Nick want to wait until he's 40 before starting a family? A few years to complete her law degree gives Raven plenty of time to pass the bar, get some work experience then start a family (early 30s about then) while still practicing if she so chooses. But what about 36 year old Nick?
Perhaps he no longer has that goal in mind

But then again, she chose to go on a reality tv show while going to law school so "panties drying in the kitchen" could be Plan B

Maybe she's doing law school part-time (like night classes)? I don't know how you can possibly be a business owner/manager and full-time student and take a break just when the semester begins...

And I can't believe nick's only 4 years from 40! He looks so young I always forget that he's one of the older ones. I would think that he would want to have a family soon-ish, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry!

I believe after this show a wedding and babies will be on the way.
