Nick Cummins - Bachelor Australia - Season 6 - Discussion

AEF wrote:During the Project interview before leaving for Kokoda, Nick was dismissive, unapologetic and arrogant. The second project interview he was defensive, clearly struggling, sending mixed messages and tried to make some sort of an apology. What changed between the two interviews? It's a shame it takes the public reaction for Nick to make an attempt at caring.

Nothing changed. He had a lot of fun during his trekking (his insta just show this). I think his family and his plublicist, maybe some TEN money issues with his contract, his mess about his book, the paps, the way people see his true colors... all of this. He just did not care but himself. He ran away thinking everybody would have moved on. Did he do right to do not fake and pick someone? Yes I do. But he did it the worse way possible and now he is eating his own poop. He still has no remorse, he made a poor attempt of puppies eyes honey badger to gain sympathy. His publicist and who ever helped him to get out of it did well... for some but not the majority..... meanwhile, brit, Sophie, will surf on the petty victims train to gain as much from it. Brooke is surfing on her newly understanding on how to gain money on insta and cass will continue to show us her butt in bikinis.....

ETA.... still convinced before hometown Brooke was the one. At F3 cocktail, nick took a conscious decision to keep quiet but that was not his plans as he said. He would have tried or fake with Brooke. Brit and Sophie were only plants to end the show. Once Brooke gone, he just did not care. Eyes do not lie. Everybody hates him for not picking Brit or Sophie, admitting he fooled them to the core would put fuel even more. Brit was last standing, yet he was asked who would have been his choice and nick refused to answer... that says all IMO Did he wanted Brooke as a partner? Heck no! But out of the 3, she was the only one he could have faked for 3months... JMO

I don't have an issue when the lead doesn't choose anyone, but in this case, IMO he was never looking for a life partner.

@GuardianAngel 

There’s a story out about The Bachelor: Vietnam where two of the female contestants left the show and are now dating each other. Sensational over there I guess. If you or anyone can find the story and put in the correct thread. Thank you.

I did initially shared this story on this forum and the links to watch the show in the international thread. I watched. In fact both women fell in love but one decided to stay for 2 more episode to see if separation was going to change their feelings. Now they are both surfing on media’s about their story, gaining fame and money. They seem to be a couple but I smell this will be over in few months once media will fade their attention

Well now this makes us look positively tame.    STRONG WORDS indeed!

How Nick Cummins destroyed The Bachelor franchise: Crisis manager claims the dating show's reputation may be 'damaged' beyond repair

Nick Cummins may have done permanent damage to The Bachelor brand.

The TV franchise has been a fixture in Australia since 2013, but a top crisis manager has warned that the latest season may have shattered its reputation forever.

Nicole Reaney of Sydney's InsideOut PR told The New Daily on Tuesday that Nick's decision not to choose a winner and the subsequent release of his book has made audiences 'cynical'.

Nicole said: 'The fact that he didn't select anyone [in the finale] in itself was not what damaged reputation, it was the way it was handled – how women were "led on" and the lack of upfront communication, given filming did end months ago'.

She also believes that many viewers are now understandably questioning Nick's motivations for appearing on the show.

'Some members of the public viewed his participation purely for profile boost, given the timing coincided with a book launch [The Honey Badger Guide To Life], and the brand advertising throughout the series,' she added.


However, Nicole believes there is a possibility that the franchise can recover, saying that 'further diligence and audience research may be necessary'.

Hey guess what Nicole, that's us!  And we got a WHOLE FORUM of ideas for ya.

TEN made the biggest mistake to change their mind for nick Cummins (confirmed by him that the contestants were meant for another bachelor....)

Nobody could handle nick Cummins who now is eating his own poop.

TEN must now find the almost impossible task to find a beloved new lead...... Dr Vet? Or similar. I do not think a stranger will do enough to attract again the lost audience...

@HEA I think they'll go for a returnee and give celebs Leads a break.  No way Chris Brown will do it IMO.  Also it's quite feasible that a returnee could be just as/more popular than a celebrity IMO, provided they pick the right one.

That DM article was posted as another title before Nick's recent The Project interview. I've seen so many positive comments on SM regarding Nick and his choice since then and this is nothing like what happened with Blake. It's just clickbait at this point imo  


Just a reminder, Bachelor 2019 is already in the works and casting currently  #HoneyBadgerwho #rinserepeat

@GuardianAngel when you have a chance can we get a new thread for Bachelor Australia Season 7. TYSM

Tossed up season. I’ve wondered about the outcome with someone else as lead. Actually thought the top 10 girls were lovely. Weren’t there a few choices for lead prior to Nick. The only thing that won me over for Nick was his body. Yeah, I can be that shallow.

Bachelor USA has managed to keep churning out 22 seasons with only one lead who chose their F1. Yup, only one lead/F1 success story (other 2 are switcheroo situations). Yet even with the backlash, picking no one, fake relationships before breakups, lower ratings for some, and viewers talk of hating drama and wanting a love story the viewers go back for more 

Bach AU already has more success with 3 leads with their F1 out of 6 (50%) and despite setbacks imo this show is going to be around for a while....

BIP Aussie S2 is about to film next month in November and pre-filming sleuthing underway

Bette AU S4 is currently airing and being discussed with potentials for BIP and Bach AU S7 next year

Bach AU S7 is currently casting for filming March 2019 (link to be added with new thread)

It would be appreciated if it said somewhere it was a NON-SPOLIER thread. I don't see the words anywhere.

IMO the highlight of Nick's entire season:  The Goggleboxers' reactions to the finale.

All spoiler threads have the word Spoiler in them and are specific to the season/show/etc while it is airing or yet to be aired (only spoilers about that show/season can be discussed or posted in that specific thread while it is airing/yet to be aired). 

This thread is not a spoiler thread since the season ended there's nothing to spoil. But even if it was a spoiler thread, there is to be no discussing spoilers or Ali's contestants in this thread as it is not her thread.

Discussing contestants on Ali's season in this thread is not only a spoiler it is off-topic.

All posts must be in the correct threads. If the word Spoiler is in the thread heading it must be on topic (meaning no spoilers about Ali's season in Bach US Spoiler thread or any other Spoiler thread that is not Ali's spoiler thread - it must be the correct thread). 

While Ali's season airs, no spoilers may be posted about Ali's season in this thread or any other thread - they belong in Ali's Spoiler thread. 

Any spoilers about BIP AU S2 belong in the BIP AU S2 spoiler thread.

The topic is Nick Cummins and about his past season. Please keep all posts on topic and spoiler-free. TY
