I agree.

I don't mean to be sarcastic. I simply don't see him overly skilled in acting either.
He did actually did ok with Salesforce. Kind of funny I am attending a Salesforce wedding in December.

I think he would be a horrible actor. I listened to the podcast with juliet and he came across as so dull and uninteresting imo. I expected his season to be very entertaining and then it fell completely flat imo. I have no interest in watching him partake in anything else.

I feel like Nick is very polarizing, most people seem to either really like him or really dislike him. His interviews vary a lot depending on whether he's feeling it and he sometimes shuts down if he doesn't like the questions. That being said, I always love listening to all of them. You could tell he had his guard up during the interview with Juliet but I thought there were still a lot of really interesting parts.

I hope he brings his A game and/or best acting skills to the interview with Vanessa at the fundraiser because, while I always love his interviews, there are plenty of people that seem to feel the opposite.

Regarding the bolded, I don't think that is entirely his fault. Way too much Corinne and not nearly enough of his love story with Vanessa. Also too many young "girls" were cast for his season. JMO

They tried to force him to be a sex graced idiot just hooking up with everyone, and when he refused, the planned sl fell flat. They dragged his past ons to try to shame him/ tempt him, no one cared, they tried with Corinne and her antics, didn't work, and they had nothing left. Jmo.

Yes, I definitely blame the editing for the "flatness" of the season (even though I still enjoyed it because I love Nick - had it been a lead I was less invested in it I think I would have liked the season much less) And thats where I get so frustrated with the show. Does the romance side of it really not sell at all, or is that just their false opinion? I could care less about the drama, but I'm assuming I'm in the minority based on other opinions I've heard.

You can be good on reality tv. You can be entertaining. That may not translate to being an actor or acting. Then again it may. IDK. I just don't think everyone is a George Clooney. That's why the income for reality tv shows like DTWS etc is integral when it happens. Hopefully other good things are in store for him. JMO.

I understand making the most of your 'platform', but honestly, there's a point where you have to get serious and stop *IMO* Nick is definitely in that boat.

Running a charity and starting up a business* is not a sure source of $$$$. Vanessa's shilling is the only $$ stream that is visible to us as an audience so far.

* = Nick is not actively promoting this (compare to Vanessa promoting her foundation), it is almost forgotten amongst its 'bachelor' audience by now, business model is likely to lead people to unsubscribe (same products each month & pricey) and business model is not sustainable (it's selling point is the 'Nick' look essentially, it has nothing else going for it....this is not a long-term strategy).

I studied business and actively watch shark tank. IMO this business will fail. I will not bore you all with the further cost details that I have gathered about it that has led me to this conclusion.

Is this his midlife crisis? Oh Nick. He seems so... blah and unhappy lately.

Life is short. I say do what you want while you can. So whatever Nick chooses to do with his life, I say good for him!

I think it is great to pursue your dreams, but acting (in whatever form), is probably really hard to break in to.  I don't know Nick and don't know what he is up to, but he seems to want to stay in LA for some reason. jmo
