Most of the people don't really like Nick, can find a lots of flaws in him and yet for some reason they would prefer his F1 to be someone more likeable? I ask why?
I believe Nick likes her, probably loves her by now (and yes, I assume they are very much still in-love), she makes him laugh (his words, not just smile), they actually do understand each other, because they can talk with each other with no pretense, she doesn't act "better" in-front of him, just so that he would like her, she shows her emotions, she speaks about her feelings ... by this episode even without knowing her he can already tell whether he can handle her emotional reactions and how are they able to find the balance and understanding ... and he didn't have to choose her at the end ... but he did.

So I'm more than thrilled, that this unlikable couple won't have many fans hoovering over their relationship once the show is over, and will able to live their lives quasi normal and in their right of privacy ... since I assume, nobody will care ... the next Bette is the perfect girl to follow and after many seasons I think Nick can be whoever he wants to be (and with whoever) without having to prove anything to anyone.

I'm still on the N&V boat - haven't fallen overboard yet. So I'm still with you happy.

Funny because as much as I didn't like the Afterbuzz show today - I just liked that AshleyI was there.  She was giving some bits that kind of explains some things and when Chelsea said that she has never been a fan of Nick and she believes N&V will not last.  AshleyI almost got defensive for Nick saying, "why do you say that?" Anyway, she kind of caught herself but seems like she was trying hard not to give things away.  But I feel that they are still together and bidding their time.

I blame RS for starting the "rumor " that Vanessa is a mini villain and not the mostly liked in the house. We have pages and pages of discussions and speculations about who's friends with whom and who's following whom. Does it really matter? Vanessa clearly made some, but not all, friends in the house. So? I like some people I meet but not all. That doesn't mean I am a bad person, does it? We didn't see any footage of her alleged fights against Danielle L and Rachel, and like someone else pointed out, not one single contestant has said anything about fights between Vanessa and anyone. Most constants followed her on sm. I really feel for her and hope she will just ignore all these. Yay, it's easy for me to say it because I am not the one living and experiencing the negativity. But, I hope Vanessa will keep her head high and just be herself. From her sm, I think she can be goofy and silly at times but she has a big heart, she clearly loves her job and it takes a special person to be a special ed teacher. Jmo.

Vanessa
"From outer space to the depths of the ocean, I was so excited for my date with Vanessa to build off the strong start we had. The SS Sapona shipwreck, is such a cool site. It was a beautiful and adventurous moment to share with Vanessa. It was also maybe risky and dangerous being so close to rusted metal? But no matter how dangerous a date might seem, Vanessa and I always find our way to one another and have the best time.

It was a really good feeling when Vanessa told me she was falling in love. Up until this point, when someone had opened up to me I had realized that I could never feel the same way. I knew I felt strongly for Vanessa, but it was important for me to slow things down. There were still other women — other women that I also had strong feelings for. I didn’t want to take away from this beautiful moment, but I’ve been hurt when too much was said too soon. All I could do was be honest with Vanessa in this moment, and I hoped that it wouldn’t change anything that was happening between us. "

Ravens
My relationship with Raven was easily one of the strongest and had been for some time. Ever since our first date, our connection grew stronger and stronger. I knew I wanted to meet her family. She spoke so fondly about her parents and brother, and opened up about her father’s battle with cancer. When she described the closeness of her family, I couldn’t help but see myself wanting to be a part of it. Giving that rose to Raven meant moving our relationship forward and envisioning what could be the start of a life together. Finishing our night dancing under the stars to Adam Friedman was the perfect end to a date — and an awesome start to big things to come. "

Are we sure Vanessa is F1? Nick's blog is so Team Raven.
