And that is just one example, there are quite a few more examples where he has been mean to that fiancé. I don't recall an apology even once. Thankfully the Ette has been gracious not to throw it back into his face.

Which podcast was this?

They were a year ago. It was a Juliet Litman podcast as well as a few Afterbuzz episodes. A few comments he made were harsh to the point where people complained that they didn't want him on the show because it seemed like it was personal and Danny Hoyt agreed in the comment section and said he would mention that they need to be neutral. That probably stems though from Nick reaching out to JoJo a la Kaitlyn when she got back from filming Ben's season in November. She didn't bite like Kaitlyn did and nothing serious besides being friendly/flirty ever came of it per RS.

Regardless, it was a year ago. I believe they've all interacted since then. JoJo and Jordan, especially JoJo, have wished Nick and Vanessa well numerous times. No biggie on either end. All JMO

Back to Nick and Vanessa.

*IMO* He's just boring, full stop.

I would ask who but this is Nick and V's thread. I have said in the past Nick is terrible at live IG. Ha Ha. Even V makes fun of him for it. He's 36 and I get the picture he's just not into cutesy stuff. He doesn't care what anyone thinks. It affects no one but him. Give Nick a microphone and engage him in conversation, it's a different ball game. He's the most well spoken bachelor in history of the show, IMO. If there is one better, I haven't found the right interview to see it.

I'll admit when I open his IG I'm immediately wondering what look he's going to give this day. I've gotten use to it, it hasn't changed over 3 years...now I just laugh at him. I do love when I find his sense of humor hidden among his pics and captions.

Okay I gave in and checked out polished gent. Is it actually their own line of products? If so hey good for him all the aging female models do it why not an aging wannabe male model.

All things considered, Nick looks great. A lot of that could be genes - I will stop there. Being nice - and I honestly wish him the best. Just learn something along the way please.

I agree, Nick's dead looks in his IG stories annoy the heck outta me... I only started following him closely after his season finished so I haven't gotten used to it. Can't he just post stuff with/of Vanessa? That would be so much more entertaining!

Yup! It's their own products!

Nick has been working hard on his line of polished gent and Vanessa has been working hard on her charity . Yes Nick did model but he was approached by them he did not go out looking for it. I think Nick is a perfect example for his line because the man does not look his age at all. JMO

Hahaha, I am a nick fan since way way way back but I agree his IG can be boring at times. Heck but no one is perfect! Jmo.

I actually think Nick looks his age. But that is fine. As I said Cindy Crawford and Christy Brinkley do it, so if he wants to great. I would be interested in the ingredients, but that is from a scientific perspective. I thought it might have been like the beauty boxes my friends get with products to try. I tend to be a brand loyalist, so I don't use them. My hubby would never go for this, but that is him. I got him Clinique to try for Christmas and it is still in the gift bag. He is just not that kind of man.

I found it a bit cheesy, but if it works good for him.

I have nothing but praise and admiration for Vanessa for her efforts. I hope it is successful and uses the donations well. After learning that less than 1 cent of each dollar of money PETA collects actually goes to animals I learned to be careful on charities. I admire Vanessa, doing what she is doing and doing it well are a true challenge.

All JMO.

You would think he would go with and without the beard because the beard does make him look older. That skin beneath that beard looks as soft as a baby's behind. Tom Bergeron was right. He looked all of 12 years old in the pinnochio outfit without the beard. I don't think he likes that babyface look, though. Doesn't have a polished look to it, I guess.
