Nick Viall - Bachelor 21 - Episode 9 Feb 27 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

IA. But like a kid sister. Except this show forces him to not just act that way with the women - it has to be more physical or romantic but it's obvious to me it wasn't there for Nick with most of the women.

If Nick was on BIP though? I totally think Nick would have only been friends with most of the women on his season and nothing more. I think that's why he thrived on BIP because for someone like him, who separates romantic interested from just friends, he was able to do that on BIP, but being the Bachelor that doesn't quite work and so he had to "try" with these women and to me it was obvious when he was "trying" and when he was not and likely he was conflicted about this himself because in any other scenario (BIP for example) he wouldn't have to do that.

That said, I give lots of credit to Nick in how he has at least tried to be the lead without leading any of the women on and not faking something that's not there with him at the expense of giving a so-called romantic show that would be fake anyway and would hurt the girls even more. I am especially impressed with how Nick lets the women go, and validates them and who they are in doing so and is very compassionate and kind, IMO. That in itself takes a lot of integrity, IMO (something which Elijah Wood said Nick has a lot of integrity).

Who thinks the scene with Andi was filmed later during the editing process when they figured out that it was so obvious that Vanessa and Rachel were the only ones he was in to and they wanted to spoil Rachel early for casting purposes?

They needed that line of "or 30" to continue the thought of would he choose anyone or would anyone say yes.

I just laughed out loud

I heard they snacked on Cheerios, Oreos and Doritos! Momma Murray sent her flowers.

Truth!

A 20 something girl who was with a guy for a few years, he was her first/only intimate partner, never gave her the big O, she never said she loved him (in 2 years!), he only said it when he was drunk, but she felt the need to beat him with a shoe when he cheated on her. If that's not enough red flags to cover the planet earth, I don't know what is.

One more thing - this episode alone convinced me the spoiler is true. The fact that he 'reacted' so differently to Raven's ILY after lecturing Vanessa...well, they are amping up the V doubt.

Omg Yes. Freaking YES to all of this!!!!

Holy crap. There was a time I thought maybe Raven could be the next Ette and give Rachel a run for her money. Nope. Big nope. Nope, nope, nope. They went with Rachel cause she literally was the only viable choice! Holy cow. Hiding her drama with V is a total given... had to clean up that image for both girls, probably.

Back to Raven. Wow. That was literally the most awkward date I can remember watching on this show. And that says something. It was like real life awkward. Please Lord Nick better not have slept with her after that.

Maya wrote:Me looking for that chemistry between Raven and Nick
It must be there because people on SM keep commwnting how romantic that date was!

OMG are they really??? Such high standards lolol

I agree with all of you. There was zero chemistry there. I pray he didn't sleep with her. She was talking like it was a given.

Notarose love reading your comments. So entertaining       

Wish I could hear his thoughts

I found that a bit presumptuous, tbh. I know sex at the FS is implied, but it's not guaranteed. The way she said it made it seem like they were going to do it because it was the next step according to TB rulebook... Or in this case Nick&Raven's Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Book featuring pop-out stilettos and scratch n' sniff Hoxie mud!

Yes, I saw that and you know what if I had the body and looks that she has, I would do so as well.  She was just reminding him of some of the stuff she has to offer in case he was thinking of sending her home.  I her!!  I'm pretty sure there is no chance of her leaving!!! :hearts love:
