Nick Viall & Vanessa Grimaldi - Bachelor 21 - Discussion

Rather than edit a bunch of posts that were off topic, they went into poof land.
Please keep the topic on this couples relationship and not Lucy and Ricky Ricardo or Wilma and Fred Flintstone.

Surprisingly, JoJo's got one, although it's 3.5, not 4 carats. I didn't even know he made rings with a solitaire  although I really don't mind Vanessa's. I've seen worse for sure from this show. JMO

IMO, its not the ugliest from the franchise choices, but its not my cup of tea.  I like a little more simplified, classic look verses those of late that IMO end up looking like Neil couldn't make a choice on which specific diamonds to use so he just threw them all on there.  That being said, if I was gifted the ring by Neil and/or my fiancé I certainly wouldn't say no, I'd wear it... at least until I could trade in later for something more my style.  

Everyones taste varies and as long as Vanessa loves the ring that Nick picked for her, then that's all that matters... not mine or anyone elses opinions.  JMO

I think Vanessa has one of the nicer Neil Lane messes! I think her ring is very elegant and pretty. I like JoJo's too. Also Des' ring. Everyone else - pass.

Jillian's is still the worst for me. I know it was different but yuck.

I'm a basic B so give me Catherine's halo with the split shank and I'm good.

Double Date

My SC from instagram

First thing I noticed about this pic is how different the two couples appear. Ben and Lauren are all dolled up, Nick and Vanessa look like they just rolled out of bed. No judgment of either, just funny how differently they look on a public double date and how casual/comfy Nick and Vanessa look.

Vanessa didn't know the difference between a cushion-cut ring and a round diamond (Actually, neither do I ) So I don't think she cares that much about the ring. She said in one of her countless interviews yesterday that she was going to be happy with just the proposal and Nick said that she didn't look at the ring till 10 minutes later. She finally got to hear the words she had waited for all season. IMO Nick could have picked a random ring and she would still be happy with it. IMO It's the feelings behind that ring that matter, otherwise it is just another piece of adornment.    

All JMO.

This!!! Just another reason to love Nick and Vanessa IMO. They aren't trying too hard. Just being themselves. Love it.

I read somewhere that BenLo were shooting for the Twins show so it makes sense that they were more dolled up. I didn't see Nissa in any of the snaps posted by them last night, so they probably caught up with them later on.

All JMO.

I love both couples. Personally it's refreshing to see two back-to-back Bachelor couples being honest about their struggles and continuing to fight for each other and what they have. Neither couple sugar coats things. N&V will be lucky to have the almost 18months+ of continued commitment Ben and Lauren have put in. I hope both couples eventually beat the odds and make it into the married club. Wouldn't that be something?

@coolangel I heard that interview too, which is proof she could care less. I'm sure others would have told them during the FS exactly what they wanted IMHO.

I was thinking how good N&V look. Their clothing choices are realistic and fit for everyday life.
