Vanessa Grimaldi - Bachelor 21 - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #3

^^ I think it's because Rachel was announced as ette. They have to hype up Raven's lovestory with Nick to the max.

Nick had to go find Kristina. He didn't signal to Vanessa to come out for his announcement. I don't know if she was even in the house. She could easily be with TPTB. Makes sense to me. They didn't even show her telling Danielle good-bye but I'm pretty sure it happened.

I can think of 2 reasons why people are questioning it: 1) Nick has seemed super serious in all his IG pics/media interviews/editing of their connection on the show and 2) it's been hard to pin down SHV for them when in past seasons it's been easier to know when they were happening. Personally, I think they're together and happy otherwise that pic Vanessa posted looks out of place.

Question: was after last night's episode the 1st time Vanessa had posted a picture of her together with Nick?

No, she posted one after their first 1 on 1. While I still say Nick could have chosen his words a little better and it was hard watching Vanessa seem almost dejected, I also still believe the scene was clearly left in for a reason and that reason is that he chooses Vanessa in the end and tells her he loves her. The guy from the 2 Bricks recap thought the same thing.

I'm actually starting to feel a little bad for Vanessa. I think some unfairly placed some really high and almost unrealistic expectations on her once the spoilers revealed her as F1 and when you're elevated that much, the fall down is usually a lot steeper. Then RS made claims that we ended up never seeing so there was no way to judge for ourselves what happened but many who were fans of the other women, latched onto the rumor and started judging her accordingly.

And last night she had to watch a 24 year old airhead accuse her of not having depth. And of course all the comments all over social media of what a bitch she really is but the editing was just hiding it. And then the producers/editors decided to hide much of her and Nick's relationship in order to sell the storyboard that Nick ends up alone or rejected at the end. So people aren't even getting to see what she must be feeling like were the best parts of this experience they shared. And Nick has to still tow the party line that he may or may not have picked someone. So I think those last two weeks or so have been a little rough.

I do notice that both she and Nick are fairly silent on social media but I won't even bother speculating that they might be together. I assume she has work so that might be tricky to coordinate. But it would be great if they are indeed together.

Also we didn't get to see her say goodbye to her BFF in the house Danielle. Do we actually believe she wasn't there ?! Not a chance IMO. We just are not seeing the full picture.

^^ I agree. When Nick was F2 was he posting pics of him and Andi/Kaitlyn. I forget

I know this is out of left field, but I can easily believe that we will see alot more of N and V journey ATFR. It will be more apparent then why they waited, IMO.

UGH, I am working and listening to Afterbuzz. They are talking about the news just coming out that Vanessa is an actress? Did I miss something? Can someone fill me in? Thanks!

I can tell you with 100 percent confidence...YES...for Andi's season. He and his family posted so many strong and frankly misleading social media clues on Twitter and IG that I was one of the few firmly believing Nick was Andis final guy.

Did not pay attention to Kaitlyn season.

It's not news as it came out when RS released her bio.
She had 1 epi parts in 3 tv series (1 line in a show; a stewardess in another; a human host for vampires in a third - her biggest role) plus she hosted 2 shows - online video game reviewer for less than a season; 1 season as cohost for a reality tv show for high school garage bands.
