Nick Viall - Bachelor 21 - Discussion

IMO I highly doubt he's followed this person because he's dating her or wants to. IMO He sounded sad in Ashleys podcast and said himself he is no where near ready to date just yet.

Sorry, I don't even know who she is. Sounds like she followed Nick first, & he just followed her back as a friendly gesture, nothing more!

According to Reddit, Nick was at the Rachel vs Ben LipSyncBattle, and he looked sad and uncomfortable and out of place

She's 23 years old. An actress known for The Pacifier. (Never heard of that movie but that's according to google.)

This is his type physically but he likes women with substance and depth.

Andi and Kaitlyn were really the perfect women for him. He wants someone who's brunette, sexy, smart, witty and doesn't

want him. He just have the habit of wanting someone he cannot have.

No wonder Nick is paranoid. A simple follow and he has people asking him questions on SM stating the exact timeline within minutes on when he followed back.

I heard the stupid crowd were all cheering for Wells. Nick was a good sport for being a part of it. I hope Nick didn't took the lack of cheering personally, Nick has tons of fans. I WISH I could watch it, but have to wait online see it.

I really don't think that Nick would care that much if people were cheering for Wells instead of him. If anything, I think that Nick would feel a little uncomfortable if any attention was drawn to him at all at the moment given that he is trying to lay low.

That being said, I'm sure that Nick wanted to support Ben and that's why he decided to attend the event. But I don't get the sense that Nick went to the taping in order to get attention or in order to validate the fact that he has a fanbase; if he really was as uncomfortable as people claim that he was then to me that signifies that he's still a little paranoid around the cameras and that he still wants to keep a low profile in general.

Apparently Nick and Wells were backup dancers for Ben.

That visual --shudders.

Well, he was a back-up dancer so he definitely wasn't laying low! He was under no contractual obligation to perform, so I think this is just Nick being Nick. Loving attention, but also not being able to handle it well. IMO.

Or Ben asked Nick if he wanted to be apart of it and Nick decided to do it because he thought it would be fun/funny and he wanted to be supportive...but at the end of the day he was uncomfortable because he's been laying low and is still paranoid about the cameras. I think this is something that confuses people about Nick--many people wonder why would he put himself in strange and uncomfortable situations if he wasn't an attention-seeking fame-whore. Well, I'm of the opinion that Nick is someone who loves the rush of trying new things and living outside of his comfort zone but at the same time, he's also described himself as being a very paranoid and anxious person who gets in his head about things when he's not looking outside of himself and/or simply living in the moment. As someone who suffers from anxiety and who can sometimes live in my own head, I actually admire Nick for the way that he lives his life because I personally can never do it. I identify with Nick when he talks about his vulnerabilities so I do believe him when he says that he suffers from anxiety and is paranoid of the cameras and what people think...but what impresses me about him is that he never allows his fears and vulnerabilities dictate how he lives his life. I think that he agreed to do it for the simple reason that he was asked, he thought it would be fun/funny and was happy to support Ben...but I stand by what I said about Nick still wanting to keep a low profile overall at the moment which would explain why he might have appeared uncomfortable during the taping. Plus, let's be real: Nick isn't in the happiest of places in his life at the moment and he's not the best at hiding his feelings either. In fact, that post about Reddit's assessment regarding Nick's mental state reminds me of how Nick acted during the No Better You fundraiser event; though he was happy to support Vanessa, he also looked a little sad and uncomfortable at the same time which I could only assume had something to do with the relationship issues that he and Vanessa were facing at the time and them being the centre of attention while people were asking them about their future together. For better or worse, Nick has always been a fairly transparent individual. I think he was happy to lend his services to Ben but that doesn't change the fact that Nick is still a little anxious, paranoid and vulnerable at the moment which is why he would appear uncomfortable despite making the decision to participate in the first place.

But why would Nick being paranoid of cameras if that is the case puts himself under the scrutiny of the cameras time and time again. He should be laying low away from all things bachelor nation after his recent breakup imo. But like [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] said I think He does love the attention, but also I agree it must have stung if the crowd were cheering for Wells and not him. I think he does appear to not care but he likes to be liked. IMO

I agree with Bluejay's assessment. To me, this seems like exactly the type of cool opportunity Nick wouldn't pass up. In my opinion, though, if he was such an attention seeking "fame-whore," it would be a lot more apparent in how he lives his day to day life. It's rare for him to even attend an event, and I have no doubt, following the Bachelor gig, he could attend quite a few if he wanted to.

Also, IMO Nick is very self aware and knows he's not everyone's cup of tea. If on a stage with Ben and Wells, who's popularity is at an all time high following BIP, I do not think he'd be at all surprised to get by far the least amount of attention. JMO.
