I think that may have something to do with it...I also think that it helps that Nick hates Josh so I suppose the fact that they have a common enemy in the guy might have made her soften her opinion of Nick in a way. I think it's also possible that Andi respects the way that Nick has handled the whole tell-all book situation as far as the public is concerned; he might have thrown some digs at Andi/the book a few times in past interviews but for the most part he has taken accountability for some of the stuff that was written in the book and, in true Nick fashion, has managed to keep the peace (at least between him and Andi) by not stooping to the level of using Andi's book as a tool to get try to get exposure/ sympathy in the press by making himself out to be a victim of "Andi's lies" (looking at you, Josh Murray). I've always been impressed with Nick's ability to be honest with his feelings (ie. he has made it clear multiple times that it's not his favourite book) but to also be diplomatic at the same time. And I do think that Nick, by nature of his personality, prefers to keep the peace than instigate feuds...as much as Nick can hold his own in an argument, I think that he generally prefers to let bygones be bygones and it's possible that Andi recognizes this quality in him as well.

As polarizing as he is, I think this is one quality of his that people who dislike him can't really dispute. It's also one of the qualities I don't see very often from the more "infamous" personalities of the franchise (there have been some, but not a lot especially in recent memory). People often make excuses for their actions or blame editing/the other person, and never own their decisions despite how unpopular it might make them to the public. And I think that's why someone like Andi would be more forgiving and understanding toward him, because he's taken responsibility for the things he said. More importantly, while he didn't regret his question at AFTR, he was empathetic enough to express regret over the negative impact (sl*t-shaming) it had on her. IDK, but from my experience, people like to hear their feelings and experiences acknowledged even more than having someone approve of their actions. In the end, Andi didn't care for gaining approval from her controlling F1; but she did end up respecting her F2 for recognizing her truth.

I honestly can't see it unless each of them is stranded on an island with the other for an extended length of time with absolutely nothing else to do except have sex and drink. Then maybe. JMO

I've been thinking the same thing. I have no idea what he's thinking either.
