Good catch & good grief.. You'd think he'd be on high alert not to spoil another season!

. It is probably cheeky enough for most not to draw conclusions from......he and that AmyinLA seem to get "fun snarky" with one another from time to time.

Poor Nick just can't help himself. He is probably watching this and like most of us, already sick of Corinne and just wants to get it over with so he can be with Vanessa.

After reading both their articles and watching their date tonight, I am really going to be looking forward to the family visits. How each of their families is going to react to the person they are bringing home. I expect both sets of families will have a lot of questions. I want her family to grill him just like she is.

But cheeky doesn't need to be deleted. One Promise just managed to catch it before his handler imo.

@fairytaleprincess @lleyki thanks for the clarification

Also from the interview posted upthread:

"Glamour: Who is your Bachelor couple role model?

Vanessa: I love Kaitlyn [because of] her personality. There’s something about her and Shawn that just seems real. When you first meet someone, you’re a little bit fake at the beginning because you don’t know how to act, but I just like people that are real. I like that they are authentic, even on social media and stuff. It’s no BS. That’s just who they are, and they aren’t going to change for anybody else. I think that’s really important to have that quality, and it’s something I definitely look up to. Go her! Go them!"

This could explain what we're seeing on SM.

Vanessa likes Kaitlyn???
I can't help but like her a little less knowing this.

Well, for me that says few things:
1. she has similar (if not the same) view as Nick on authentic, genuine attitude
2. she isn't wrong IMO about some people showing their real selves on SM (not all people do, since SM is mostly for selling an image), Kaitlyn surely does, so I actually agree with her, I prefer people showing their true stripes ... because then I have more information to decide whether I like them or not (I'm grateful Kaitlyn showed hers, because I don't need to like her).
3. Vanessa says "I look up to" ... being real and authentic on SM (didn't say, look up to Kaitlyn) ... which seems she's succeeding on her SM ... so I "judge" Vanessa for who she is.

I get what she's trying to say. I'm sure casual fans of the show don't follow contestants the way we do. We know them in and out, flaws and all . Kaitlyn is pretty well liked generally speaking (ie not superfans) Catherine even said she's her closest franchise friend or something like that.

It also would've been easier to name someone else since Kaitlyn and Nick aren't exactly besties, but she was honest and probably doesn't care how it would come off .

Nick has said he is "sensitive" to new people he meets having a pre conceived idea of who he is from the edited version of Nick presented on A and K seasons. This smart cookie, imo, touched an emotional chord in Nick, in a very positive way, when she told him what impressed her (from A's season) was his bond with his mother, and that he values family, then talked about how she shares the same values of the importance of family.

@bleuberry Catherine Lowe?  As to Vanessa liking Kaitlyn, I think she has some affinity to a fellow Canadian (ITA on those who talks about authenticity - as ugly as it sometimes is genuine is better than plastic). Also did she mention somewhere that she only has seen more recent shows?  To our Canadian members, when did the US version of The Bachelor started becoming popular or shown in Canada?  So perhaps Vanessa only knows a few couples she can identify with?
