Nick Viall & Vanessa Grimaldi - Bachelor 21 - Discussion

SC of Vanessa's IG story!

These two are so adorable with their bracelets

Right on time Vanessa!  Lol.

Haha! And that is why Nissa are doing the right thing keeping their relationship on the low-key on SM IMO.

I am glad to get confirmation on the bracelet. I spent way too much time yesterday trying to zoom in the fan pics.    

JMO.

DWTS is not a bubble show. They still have a life during the show. A lot of contestants even have two jobs and the pro dancer has to follow them around wherever they have to be during that particular week. Bubble shows to me are shows like The Bachelor & MBC.

Bubble shows are those where an actual virtual reality is built, like TB, big brother etc. It's a manufactured environment with tpbp produced drama and stress.

DWTS is a show about celebs learning to dance. Sure, they might get unfavourable edit in training etc, but it really doesn't manipulate the celebs lives, or create manufactured drama. JMO.

I would say the daily practice would be grueling, imo.
It would be for me. Horribly.
Also, as I have said I don't watch the show, but haven't performers/cast been injured in association with the show?
Speaking as someone who injured herself last Nov from a simple fall and still has another month of physical therapy, injury is no fun.

Yes, it is grueling especially for those that put in the long hours.

Yes, others have been injured doing the show. In fact, Melissa Rycroft replaced Nancy O'Dell who was injured during pre-season rehearsals. Melissa had 2 days of rehearsals before the 1st show. That same season Jewel had to withdraw before the season started because she was also injured (not sure if that was during rehearsals or not). In season 4, Vincent Pastore withdrew before the show even aired because "he did not realize how much work was needed during a ten-week period, and that he was not up to the physical demands of the show." Misty May-Treanor ruptured her Achilles tendon during rehearsals... and this is a world class athlete.

DWTS is not a cakewalk at all, especially for those who are willing to put in the rehearsal time and have the desire to go to the end.

Kasha, So sorry about your injury!  I fell two weeks ago, broke my wrist and am in a cast,  you're right.  Injury is no fun.  Hope you're on the road to full recovery!  

Yes, it's awful when they get injured but I define grueling differently I guess.  I think to practice for DWTS would be hard as hell and absolutely thrilling!  Maybe I'm a masochist.  

I am very, very uncoordinated and clumsy. I have to always be alert.
I broke my leg/ankle in 2 place in early November(the day after the USA elections) going out to get the mail which was already in the house.
I spent 2.5 months immobile --off my leg. Non-wght bearing. So I am wrapping up physical therapy in the next month--please god. Keep in mind I am no longer a spring chicken and there was no way I could hop around correctly on crutches.
The good thing is I am about back to my normal.
Beware!

Thanks for the warning!  And for all you and the mods do!

In Vanessa's IG story it looks like Jen B is still there and they are at Disney again today. Can someone tell me who the other woman in the picture is?

Since there hasn't been much news and I am on spring break, I have gone back and watched their last few dates again. She mentioned to his family that picking up and moving away from friends and family and job and having just each other is scary. I think if she stays in LA the next few weeks and Jen goes home it will be a really good sign. Vanessa is obviously one that does a lot, so just hanging in LA by herself could be very hard.

I think, IMO, the viewer simply has to remove themselves from what the show's edit indicates vs reality.
Unless the couple is not telling the truth, moving was never an issue. This has been said multiple times in multiple interviews. So either this is real or the couple is lying. IMO it was not an issue.
The storyline showed otherwise. The storyline is what it is--simply trying to sell a journey/plotline to the audience. There had to be areas of conflict in order to have conflict resolution. I have learned over the years, the storyline may not be any more factual than fiction. Which is to say it is not.
