I can't feel any anger at all for Nick.  Ultimately choosing noone was the right thing to do if he wasn't feeling it. Better than making one girl feel like she was the Chosen One only to be dumped afterward.  He just shouldn't have done the show in the first place.  It's on the producers for pursuing him so hard and probably promising to look after him no matter who he did or didn't choose.

I don't feel mad that the girls feel let down, betrayed etc.  I can definitely understand why they would.  However at the same time my sympathy for them is limited... they went on the show signing a contract saying basically anything could happen and that the show could have any outcome and be edited any way the producers pleased.  

All that said: please no more "celebrity" leads.  We're at 0/2 now and it's not going to improve.  Please just stick with regular people (I include Instagram models and influencers in that) who want to find a relationship.

I do not like the guy but I appreciate his integrity to do not do something he did not feel. However, it was a monstrous mistake to hire him to be the lead. He was never ready to settle down and everyone on prod should have caught that beforehand.

Regarding the girls, it is head versus heart. I have little sympathy for any of them. As you say and discussed many times, they knew what they signed for. It is season 6, plus NZ, plus US etc so participating on this show is a gamble. However, I still have compassion, just a little, because they are human being and manipulated by professional who just push their buttons to the extreme.

No celebrity!!! I support this 100% !!! they never go to find regular person. They want to boost themselves one way or another.

That wasn't a spoiler @HEA.  Ali's eye doesn't actually fall off....  OR DOES IT  

point is it is not the right thread. thank you for that. you know how easy it is to be excited and make a major snowball.

I think it was planned all along that Nick wasn't going to pick anyone. 

I think that's why he signed on with a guarantee not to pick someone. Imo that's why Ten decided to air his season later and by doing so allow him to be out the country when the finale aired. All planned imo and Nick was paid to just bring ratings and to not choose anyone. 

He did his job in that part and acted the part until he didn't need to. As a celeb lead that was his special treatment and arrangement imo, not the idea that he was with his F1 so he would skip the country. 

I actually bought that Blake for his bs actually wanted to be with someone and find someone. With Nick, I don't believe he was ever going to pick anyone no matter who was on the show. His end goal was to pick no one.

Congrats to all who called out Nick for choosing no one before the season started! Wow - took cajones to do that!

I haven't watched since the first few episodes...so basically Nick pulled a Brad.

I still enjoyed him and the ladies, but I agree...please stop with the celebrities....although I just watched the Russian Bette who is also a celebrity and it had a much different and rewarding outcome all round.

I'm glad his season is over. I didn't find him attractive at all.

With his personality, I would have loved Cam's season.

Hopefully, he's considered if no one from Ali's season is deemed suitable.

I have really mixed feelings about Nick.

I do not like him. For me he is not attractive, his non stop slang daddy jokes that need a dictionary are not funny to me and I find him no class-act, borderline rude. So it is clear to say that I really do/did not care for him.

But I have to respect that he did not pick a girl because he did not feel it. The gossips saying that he was hard to work with and that he refused to fake anything. That means to me that prods did suggest he picked someone and maybe told him to fake a relationship. Those jaded prods have no respect for anyone and I am sure they may have added no harm no fool.

So I cannot consider Nick as a Villain. He signed a contract to stand at FRC. However I do consider as a big a** because I am 100% convinced that he signed up for his book and other business to promote and did not care to understand the emotional roller coaster with the girls.

But again, they all do get something out of this gig.... sophie to boost her career, Sam to promote his gym, Sam F to boost her career radio and TV, art green with paleo... we cannot fault Nick for doing the same. What is worse? pick noone or do a sophie/stu ?? How many chances to find their life partner within 25 people and among 25 people maybe 3-5 interesting people they would meet outside in the real word and have a total of what 10-20 hours together all season and expect to say ILY after this period with cameras all around? Nobody can force the feelings if they are not there.

so I think my conclusion is that I do not want to see Nick's face on my TV and best wishes to him and his future.  

Seems like this would have been the perfect season for a Women Tell All.

Is this where I say congrats to the lovely couple Britt and Sophie?

  yes gorgeous ladies and they found something better, friendship with each other and love forever. Onwards and upwards for them both 


My favorite part of the season and finale was when Britt had been dumped and the first thing she wants to do is go to Sophie and says "I want to see Sophie to make sure she's okay"   I love that they caught that moment on camera with Britt going to Sophie to let her know and be there for her too. A beautiful thing to do and be there for the F2 when very often they are alone and emotional and crying and Britt made sure she didn't leave without being with Soph and letting her know she isn't alone. Probably one of my favorite endings to watch just for that moment
