Bachelor 21 - Nick Viall - Media SM Vids - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #4

Wasn't Ali the one who knew that Des picked Chris the whole time, in spite of the Brooks spoiler?

I believe most of Bach Nation are in the know. But they may be cautioned as to keep close hold until appropriate times. Looks like it's ok now to start saying Nick found love? Is Ali going to be the first and soon other alums will follow?

Ali likes to name drop and give hints that she's in the know, on anything Bachelor related or anything for that matter. She has done this in the past, several times. Des/Chris's wedding is one example.

So much for does Nick leave alone storyboard, thanks Ali.

I totally agree with lleyski and Maya's view on Ravens HTD preview. At times when N is talking about Raven I have flashbacks to ben h discussing Jojo. IMO feels like same script???

Forget about them in any other crevice.

Me too! I am so terrified of amoebas! I saw those previews and cringed on their behalf!

He's going to have to fly back to Montreal, sit down, have drinks, food, then talk blessings.

Perhaps they somehow secretly flew Vanessa's dad to Finland once it was pretty much settled once and for all it was going to be V and Nick was able to do it face to face. Maybe they skyped. I believe the engagement happened in Finland at the FRC.

@MonicaJM2001 That's a great idea!

I don't see Raven as JoJo at all. I see her more as Caila. Caila and Ben H was strictly just physical and conversations with no depth at all, which is exactly how I view Raven and Nick's relationship. Nick plays his bachelor role with Raven whereas with Rachel and Vanessa he's more himself. IMO

I sure miss the days when on Desiree's season they showed parts not shown on the show. Like when Desiree and Zak first kissed (it was sooo cute) or when Zak bought that ring from that antique shop! Did they do that for any of the others like Juan Pablo on? I stopped watching when he became Bachelor.

There is also the possibility that Vanessa's dad just doesn't believe he needs to give his permission. I know that Vanessa is Italian and may come from a traditional household which could lend to her and her family believing in asking for their daughters hand.

I am French Canadian, where a tradition is that women tend to keep their maiden name, this is very common in Quebec (where there is a law that a women can't legally change her last name after marriage - they can assume but not legally change). I live in Ontario but myself and all my cousins have kept our maiden name. Also, my family although very traditional from a religious and family sense do not believe in asking for the daughters hand in marriage. When a family friend asked my dad if my husband asked my parent... my dad's response was "she isn't a cow we are trading, she is a grown person who can make her own decisions". I have no problem either way - it is a personal decision. For me and my family its just not something we believe in.

Raven's HTD video preview just looks like they are trying too hard. The porn music as she is taking off his shirt in the swamp doesn't help either. She is clearly going to be the "chemistry" edit, even thought I don't really see much of that...from either of them.

As an aside, Nick's body is just rocking in that video. He is looking incredibly hot to me these days. (The photos of him with Vanessa in Bimini and greeting her on her HTD...Yummy.)

In addition, you could not pay me enough to be rolling around in that muck. Who knows what is crawling around in there. Yuck.

I was surprised when he answered that question as she is a blonde and he clearly has a thing for brunettes.
