Wow...he looks good and so young. Thanks @Notarose for posting pics and info about Nick!

I don't know if anyone has heard Elan Gale's latest interview with "People" but the only person outside of "Arie" (obvious reason) that was mentioned from bachelor nation was "Nick". While most contestants say TPTB forget about them once the season is over (for the most part), it's clear Nick's friendship is important to him. It made me smile.

I saw Nick in Ashley I’s IG story dancing with her, Becca T. and some of the girls from Arie’s season, including next to Kendall. She deleted the story for some reason before I could download and post

He looked like he was having fun!

[notarose]

@TheWrongReasons I didn’t see him dancing in Ashley’s IG story but as you said all of her vid segments are now gone. Darn.

@notarose yes, too bad she deleted the vid(s). I have no idea why

It stood out to me because he looked happy (and young “af”) chilling next to Kendall. It’s always good to see that

I believe Nick's friendship is important to Elan ... afterall, it was during the process of getting Nick on Andi's season and his "returns" when Elan was putting his s*** back in order - all IMO - got the promotion and was able to act on his "creative mind" as far as the production goes, because Nick was more than open to "play". I'll go as far and say that we wouldn't have so many "open discussions" on the topics "that matter in society" if it wasn't for Elan and Nick's "pushing boundaries", something that gained Elan a spot among the top-producers and Nick on a hot chair that keeps on giving - JMO.

I'm sorry to hear the videos are gone! I didn't get to see them, but glad he had a great time!

I also think Elan and Nick have a strong bond because they view life through an equally complex similar lens. They are both idea driven and passionate internally driven men navigating a world that operates a lot in the external (public opinion and a society where many people put priority on being liked). By challenging the status quo they fine tune their own belief systems because in their own ways they have to defend and stand strong. They may dislike failure but both challenge themselves to operate beyond their comfort zones situationally because of their belief that living safe is living pale. They, also, both like to challenge how the norm thinks.
This is a different modus operandi for reality tv where fantasy is being served. Ball gowns and candles and fairytales. Nick, by association, has brought sex talk, questions about what is an alpha, can a man be a feminist, and are people failures or is it relationships that fail. I’m an admirer of Nick because he has strong well thought out views and isn’t hesitant to share or act on them even though they prove to ruffle feathers. I think it’s important for unique voices to be heard and that is how the shows he has been on have been a platform. Nick was once asked if he wished something had been shown that wasn’t during his Bach season to which he answered he wished more of his views would have made air.
In the superficial bubble of escapism reality tv, Nick has pushed the date card envelope in ways that challenged many to ask “why is he doing that”?  Like any art form, it is at its best when it evokes a visceral reaction - good or bad - and Nick has been described as polarizing so mission accomplished. Elan’s book could likewise be viewed as polarizing given its premise. They are two sh*t disturbing peas in a pod that appear to want to elevate the conversation rather than go softly into the night.
IMO they would make great dinner guests. At least we wouldn’t be talking about the weather

Aside: if Nick’s Bach contract was 1 yr then he is done today

i wonder if Nick is drawn to Kendall and her quirkiness. She's a very attractive girl.

[TheWrongReasons]

I didn’t even notice Nick was in the background of that pic until I saw your post @mistygracie74

@BKay IDK how they feel about each other but I would totally ship Nick & Kendall. She’s such a sweet person who seems to really feel things - when she unexpectedly burst into tears upon seeing Arie for the first time since their breakup, I really felt for her. Feelings can get real in this franchise! I’m sure Nick especially understands this.

When I first saw that pic upthread, I thought he is certainly looking at something with interest.
