I just am so blind to the skeeviness.  I like him.

Babyjax, i thought that was two separate conversations. One where she said she could see why there was an attraction to Nick and another where she saw Sean and Katlyn togehter.
i was laughing so hard through the show, i could have confused it all.

It's certainly possible I could be confused also, TA. No worries.
As skeevy as Nick is on TV, I can accept the idea that if you met him in person he could be totally charming and attractive. Some people just give off that aura in real life. Not that I'd fall for it, though.

I find Nick completely charming, adorable, an irresistible. I have no problem believing he is that way in real life.
I don't really buy the 'producers hate Nick" stuff. He has provided them golden TV moments. Let's face it, this show isn't about being classy, it's about showing us stuff that will get us talking. They should be cutting bonus checks to Nick.

I'm not a Nick fan at all (I fall in the "finding him sleazy" category). But, the producers definitely wanted him on there or they wouldn't have allowed him to come on. I don't believe they hate him either. Or, if they do, they still knew he would provide drama. That's the only reason they let some of these people come back on--for drama and hopefully for more viewers. And he must hold some appeal in person, to be able to finish in the top 2 for 2 seasons.

They knew he would provide drama, but they wouldn't pay for him to come back. Of some note, when that girl tried to come back on Chris's season, they wouldn't pay her travel either. She wound up driving something like 7-8 hours because they wouldn't pay her airfare. Yet Chris Bukowski who has been on the Bachelorette twice had his airfare paid for by production the second time. For whatever reason, TPTB love Chris B.
After Nick was videotaped on the airplane bitching about Andi picking Josh in the F2 and RS had that video before the plane took off, and then he ____-shamed Andi on ATFR, they hate Nick - but they aren't going to pass up the chance for drama on the show. I'm of the opinion that the producers (as well as 99% of Bachelor Nation) think Nick is such a dooshbag, that there was no way Kaitlyn would let him on the show. What little (and I mean little) respect I had for Kaitlyn went down to zero after she let Nick on the show. The way Kaitlyn, Shawn and Nick were edited, you can tell production obviously dislikes all of them.

Kaitlyn not only let him on the show. She took him to the final two and made him the major storyline almost to the very end for a second time. The guy must have the most airtime of any non-winner/non-bachelor in the history of the show.

If I hear that Nick somehow manages to insinuate himself in any way, shape or form onto one of these shows again, I will be done watching.
My daughter-in-law, who is one of the sweetest people you'd ever meet and never has an unkind word to say about anyone, well...even she said there was someone skeevy and smarmy about him, too.

 Oh nooooooo....*groan*....well, they haven't made a choice yet, so there is always hope.
Thanks for the warning, Ariasmum.

I read that they chose Ben H. as the new bachelor.

I just popped off an email to RS, he replied that Ben H. is the new Bachelor. They were "effing" with Nick because "that is what they do." They had a deal with Ben H. a month ago to be the new Bachelor.

... and I bet Nick would "love to be the next Bachelor" - he loves being on TV and will do whatever it takes to be on TV.

Nick can't really control what questions interviewers ask him. I give him credit for trying to answer honestly. Probably most people who've been on the show would consider an opportunity to return and be the star.

Oh Lexie...thank you...that is SUCH a relief to know that Ben H. will be the next Bachelor. I listened to the interview that Ariasmum posted a link for and to me Nick sounded very condescending, especially towards Joshua.

Yay! I found the "official" news that Kooklie and Lexie mentioned.

Ben H is adorable. I have high hopes for him as the next BAchelor. Hope they find him some nice and suitable women!

I am thinking that the link to msn may have a spoiler in it either for Bach in Paradise or Ben's season.

You can read it Happymom... there are no spoilers in the article - it just confirms that Ben H. is the new bachelor.

Thanks Lexie. I did read it and thought there was a spoiler in it. Or a possible spoiler.

Well, I guess I can contact one of the moderators, if you like Happymom. I didn't see a spoiler either, as Lexie said but I also assumed the moderators read everything that is posted and would have said something.

Just to let you know we try to remove spoilers on the board but we don't check articles that are linked off the board. So click at your own risk.

No problem. Of course, if anyone notices a spoiler in a linked article then it's great to let everyone else know. Some people enjoy spoilers and some try to remain spoiler free. You have to be particularly careful as well if you glance at any comments other people have made below the article.

After three years together (has it really been three years?!), they are dunzo.

At least they had the good sense not to get actually married. They should sell the ring and split the profits.
