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

@Seabear good eye on the hotel.

I don't recall ever hearing such a choppy VO, wow. @Ladybug82 thanks for embedding it.

They must have interns working on the edits this season.

That's not a very luxurious hotel. Can't see them having the FD's there.

I think Reikonlinna is the largest hotel so it could be used as the main hotel lodging. Then for the FSD's I am surmising they used a variety of smaller different locations in the surrounding area. Saariselka is an isolated area near/in the arctic circle so the lodging is limited. There are some very cool options for truly "fantasy" dates....at least in my book. I have always wanted to go to Lapland. I sincerely hope that don't chop all the beautiful scenery and local culture out of the episode...with the crappy edits this season I am worried they will. The extremely choppy VO on the clip adds to my concern. I will be so mad if they ruin the beauty of the locale

Here's a Finnish article about the filming: http://www.hs.fi/kulttuuri/art-2000005097144.html

It doesn't have many details though, since they're not allowed to spill obviously. But it mentions Inari as well as a filming location in addition to Saariselkä and Rovaniemi. Saariselkä belongs to the Inari municipality, but they probably mean the village or elsewhere, since they're both mentioned. It also says they used this creative house from Rovaniemi and collaborated with Lapland Hotels & Safaris. I'm betting they'll go on a reindeer or husky safari on some date. The Lapland coverage is supposed to be "diverse".

Oh apparently they shot this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit pics at the glass igloo village in Saariselkä we were thinking might be a FS location. What's with Lapland all of a sudden?

@mindless Thanks! Such a cool place. Gosh, I hope we get to see so much of it!!

When Nick says "maybe 30" I think he was referring to Andi as the 30th girl since she showed up on his season and so him indicating if she is joining the show then she would be girl number 30 (making his F1 girl number 31). Go Nick!

 I just saw the vid and came to the forum to post the exact same thing!
Ditto - Go Nick!

Thank you for finding this for us! Any clues to which would be for Rachel's date?

Great interview with Elijah Wood talking about Nick Viall whom he says is his friend.

Around the 2 min mark, Elijah says that he can unequivocally state that Nick is real and very genuine and has a lot of integrity. That is high praise and it also echoes what so many others that know Nick personally have said - that Nick is a very genuine guy!

It's really revealing that this has been a common theme with so many that know Nick personally and have spent time with him off the show. It is no wonder that Nick doesn't need to pay attention to strangers or people he doesn't know in the public or on SM since the people that actually know him and are in his life - his family and friends - are the ones he is loyal to and and is close with and stays grounded with and they're the ones that matter most in life IMO.

In the clip of Nick and Andi, Nick couldn't sit farther away from Andi. He sits at the edge of the sofa and almost falls down
