Vanessa Grimaldi & Josh Wolf - Bachelor 21 - Discussion

One day she has all the feels...the next he's blocked or she's throwing shade to a degree. The IDGAF attitude will be on the opposite end of the spectrum more than likely too, eventually. I don't think I can draw any conclusions until months pass. It's just too soon, IMO

       -  IMO  - Nobody is perfect...I am not going to blame Nick or Vanessa on the way they are behaving right now...I think it is quite natural for a person to feel that way...being very emotional after a break up...this happens mostly if the feelings are still deeply set in their hearts...and the reasons for their breaking up are more circumstantial and have been done on impulse...I am not sure if Vanessa is trying to convey anything on her last IG with her holding her nephew...I think Vanessa probably wants to have a family sooner and Nick maybe holding back a little bit...   -  JMO -

I didn't get this impression at all. IMO she was genuine in her response that he is a good guy and that she wasn't trying to throw shade. Zuri was the one who made it seem more of a joke. She had to laugh it off in that situation IMO imagine taking it all serious and getting upset.. Not a good look for the camera.
I also thought she seemed genuinely happy today, much more than the one before they announced the breakup. I didn't think she seemed obnoxious today IMO obviously others did though. Maybe more so in her last segment a month ago but not sure I would have used the word 'obnoxious'
All JMO

I think being on Live TV, and kind of being put on the spot by Zuri, I think she handled herself quite well. She came across to me as trying a little too hard, leaving me thinking IMO she's still hurting

Is that part it!? I didnt watch all of it but caught that and that was NOTHING. If anything, she spoke highly of him as she kept repeating he was a good guy. She didn't have to say that because zuri was the one who made the joke.

I did notice this comment though



I think Vanessa's trying really hard to come off as if she's happy and has moved on, to the point where she comes off obnoxious but it's clear to me that she hasn't. It was just interesting to me how this person noticed the same behaviour in the show where she was getting her hair done (the show she did the day before the breakup was announced)

- IMO - I don't find Vanessa obnoxious...Vanessa has been good in asking the right questions for the viewers to understand what have been going on and what type of materials are being used...I think it is just a personal opinion from the person who has tweeted...maybe she has expected Vanessa to just shut up and let the guy does the work...or she could be biased since maybe she doesn't really like Vanessa... - JMO -

- IMO - I don't think that is basically the role for Vanessa to do...to just shut up and be a model or be used as a specimen...they could have just gotten anybody unknown to do the job...her role is to react to what is going on...and, bring out questions that she thinks the viewers may want to know...I actually think she is doing a great job in doing that...since she is so detailed in her information to the level of informing the viewers on how it is being done, and what type of materials to use...since the makeup artist is not really saying much and just doing the demo...it is quite entertaining and are great resources on learning how to apply makeup without professional helps... - JMO -

Don't get me wrong, I think she should ask for clarification on the makeup he's using and the steps in the process. She does a good job with that. It's the parts where she brings up random stuff unrelated to what she's doing and pulls the focus off of the makeup artist/hairstylist, that I feel she comes off as a little obnoxious. This and the sorta OTT laughter gives me the impression that she's trying too hard to look happy, which IMO has only been evident in this and the show she did before the breakup.

Honestly, it kind of reminds me of how she acted in St. Thomas. I remember thinking she was a little obnoxious with her yelling out answers while they were on the boat, and continued to act OTT when they were playing games. Next thing you know, she's emotional and crying on the beach.

I understand her making light of the situation...but what I don't understand is why she even had to go there in the first place. I just think that Vanessa and I are different people in the way that we handle things so it's hard for me to understand her sometimes. If I were in her position, I would never go out of my way to remind viewers of my failed public relationship; it just seems like a really weird thing to do, imo. I don't know if she was trying to be self-depreciating in that moment or if she was trying to convince the viewers that she is happy and that she has moved on (or some combination of the two) but if her intention was to address the issue in order to make things less awkward...well, I have to say that her mission was unaccomplished.

IMO It felt to me like she was not wanting to give the wrong impression when someone asked if she was "Vanessa from Nicks season of the bachelor" To me she wanted to make it clear they weren't together anymore but also making it clear he was a good guy and wasn't throwing shade. We have to remember she was caught off guard by the question too. And she was probably nervous about Nick questions coming in, on top of being back on air for the first time since the break up.

Mary's comment sounds like she thought V's pic was of her actual birthday day. Still, very gracious as always.
