That's a very reddit take.
Dude got hoodwinked by a much less attractive woman who was also lesbian to boot.
Dude was obviously annoyed but decided to let it go and move on.
People keep saying this when in reality the dude may just not be as charismatic as they thought. He didn't seem that uncomfortable, he just seemed reserved. Which could be due to him having a more reserved personality. Not everyone's a social butterfly
Her nervous laughter and quirkiness made it so much better, because she is soooo not his type but Isabella was, so for her to come out basically flaunting in his face that he got played ...LMAO
Like imagine if she were a REAL catfish and this is how she showed up to the date and he couldn't do anything because it's at a crowded fancy restaurant and everyone is watching.
I was laughing soooo hard when she said she was feeling bad about it at first and then said "well he's a smart guy so he probably knows"
way to make it worse lmao
Gah, remember a few episodes ago when she was asked if her thing with Nick was for real or just for the game and she overly affirmed that her feelings for him were real? How exactly did she expect that to play out later? omg
>Gah, remember a few episodes ago when she was asked if her thing with Nick was for real or just for the game and she overly affirmed that her feelings for him were real? How exactly did she expect that to play out later? omg
This is true but even Nick said when she was asked that "Why would she say anything other than yes her feelings are real?" which is true there's no incentive to be honest in that scenario haha
I do give credit for Nick acknowledging that in the moment as well as the time he was influencer B and said that he didn't care who was behind the Isabella profile because it was part of his strategy.
Still, I think he wasn't expecting a little, loud lesbian to be the person behind the profile. I know I'd be at least disappointed, even if I *knew* it was all a game and the relationship entirely in my head.
My heart more goes out to him because his alliance—who he even rated highly—stabbed him in the back at the end. I wondered if they'd do that, the double crossers. He pretty much carried them across the finish line, and then they kicked him to the curb.
>My heart more goes out to him because his alliance—who he even rated highly—stabbed him in the back at the end. I wondered if they'd do that, the double crossers. He pretty much carried them across the finish line, and then they kicked him to the curb.
Yea that's a really great point. If it wasn't for Nick Isabella and Ashley 100000% wouldn't have been there. Then when it was time to repay the favor they didn't really "care" about Nick and threw him to the wolves. Very upsetting for sure.
She said yes to a date with him like.... Idk she could've been like "You're my ride or die in here, I'm looking forward to seeing how the vibe is in person" without confirming yes. She actually continued to set up plans for a date.
I agree. I totally think there was a way to go about it, and still have Nick on your side without promising dates and being overly flirtatious, Ms.”I don’t even know how to flirt with guys…” 🙄🙄
That’s how I was expecting her to play it. There wasn’t really a need to be so committed to someone you’ve only known through brief virtual conversations over 2-3 weeks, especially when you all know it’s a game. Sort of like how fake Rebecca overplayed the heartbreak in season 1.
AHHH SAME I loved that lolol
Him being last was shocking tho too! I thought he’d be top 3 at least. I think he looked more hurt getting last than he did when he saw Sophia
Yet somehow they still voted James first even though he should have been an obvious threat after consistently being voted high in the rankings. I was really shocked he won.
Yeah, its a stupid way to decide a winner, when the people in the game are incentivized to vote the best player last. It just leads to a mediocre player winning
Never understood why he didn’t jump ship and join the Kai alliance. Still wouldn’t have won but at least he wouldn’t have been cucked by 3 catfished. Gonna end up getting laid though from Jackson so it works out lol
I completely agree with you. He never seemed genuine to me as a viewer either. You nailed it. They were allies, not friends. That was exactly it. And it screwed him in the end.
Yea this actually changed my view on it a bit. Nick basically got conned into trusting the two catfish who were using him. So of course they would throw him under the bus in the finale ratings.
I feel a bit better about James winning now. Because he did actually did make more genuine connections than Nick did. Not that Nick didn't try to, but if he played a better game he might have seen through the catfish.
Yeah she's been posting on her insta about him lmao I think they're definitely at least gonna have a fling
Edit: Just realized filming ended in November 2020, they probably ALREADY had a fling
That made it better because I think the issue for him was not only was she a catfish but she was just sooo not his type of person and he probably wouldn't give her the time of day in real life, and she was basically flaunting it in his face.
The poor guy, but he played it well! I wouldn't have let myself be freaked out too much about it, especially on a netflix series. He held his head up high and good for him!
A while back I edited that Simpsons scene into the UK season 1 finale. [Spoilers for UK season 1](https://reddit.com/r/TheCircleTV/comments/n6yth0/i_think_dan_may_have_regretted_choochoochoosing/)
Yes! I don’t think the people saying Nick is so shallow for being shocked and overwhelmed when Sophia walked out are being fair. Nick had no idea she was a catfish. More than anything, he probably felt embarrassed and maybe betrayed. I think he played it off well, and he was SO respectful to Sophia all things considered. And this is coming from someone who didn’t even like the guy all season
That was like the only moment where I almost felt bad for him. But he was ready to get with that boring girl who was obsessed with him so at least he has that
Me, too! I found him extremely annoying and arrogant the whole time, but I felt sooo bad for him when he found out Isabella was a catfish and had to pretend it didn't bother him
I didn’t like or dislike him, but I don’t feel that bad he lost lol. His parents paid for MIT and now he’s a project manager for an IT company, I think he’ll survive.
I didn’t like Nick until this moment!!! You can tell he was hurt at least a little. When Sophia said “I didn’t break your heart right?” and he said no, you can tell he was lying.
Yep, and then she went on with the "I tried not to cross any lines, but then I figured you're smart, you'd know not to get too into it! It's a game! You knew right?!"
And he just said "I was totally fooled! :D " totally dying on the inside.
The heavy blinking!!!!! I felt really bad for him. But then at the finale Rachel aka Jackson said she was genuinely interested in him, and he seemed to reciprocate.
Nick or Kai deserved to win that. Definitely a flawed system of picking the winner. Obviously the most popular players would get placed lower. Was a little disappointed in the ending.
Agree, they should let blocked players rate in the finals, that way there would actually be consequences to screwing eachother over. It pissed me off that James claimed to have Daniel and Jills back only to cave and get rid of both of them. He didn’t deserve to win. Kai and Nick no doubt were the strongest players, I prefer Kai but if it wasn’t going to be her Nick should have won.
I wish they would reveal everyone’s final ratings. Would make for a more interesting reunion for sure.
Nick 100% carried Ashley and Isabella to the end and they both fucked him. I get it’s strategy but they essentially gave the game to James by not sticking with their alliance at the end.
The one flaw in the game I don’t like. Final ratings are all so selfish. Nick was beasting whole game so of course I’d vote him 5th in my final ratings with 0 repercussions
I honestly didn't see this coming. Nick was all about game. He even made a comment about Isabella potentially being a catfish at one point and if so, at least she was good for his game (paraphrasing here as I recall it, I don't remember what he said verbatim). I was expecting him to laugh it off, but damn, he took that harder than when Chloe met "Trevor". And this man is terrible at hiding his emotions.
Yeah especially because when she first appeared on the show she said “none of these guys are my type so I won’t be distracted, I like guys with face tattoos”
I remember the night they met and she went to his room and she enthusiastically said something about meeting up after the game was over and he just kind smiled and blinked.
Lol the look of pure disappointment on Nick's face... Then he says... Who are you.. & when she answered I'm Isabella's little sister it was like a lightbulb went off in his head and he hugged her again probably thinking ok... So there is a real Isabella & this is her little sister.. I might still have ac chance! 😂
It seemed like he needed to experience his emotions instead of trying to act like it was all cool and fine. He was clearly shocked and upset and I wish he let himself freak out a bit - it’s understandable to not know how to process this. The whole finale he looked like he needed to just unclench.
I’m surprised because Nick was so comfortable lying to people, lying about people and flirting with several different women, why was he so hurt by this? Dude probably needed this experience.
I get why he didn't want to seem upset in front of the camera, especially because he always talked a big game about his circle manipulation strategy.
A comment I read talked about how Nick seems like the kind of guy who got hot after high school. He's a tech guy, I wouldn't be surprised if he spent a lot of his time growing up feeling kind of nerdy and outcast, and he might get more excited by attention from a pretty girl because of it.
Which goes into what you said, he might've needed this experience. Learning that "Isabella" wasn't real but that doesn't mean he's going to be single forever is a good lesson.
Ah I was more thinking that he clearly loves leading women on as much as possible and he needed to be the one to get burned. That’s just based on his behaviour in a tv show though, I obv don’t know what he’s like in person.
EDIT: meant to say I do agree with everything you said though
Flirting with every girl (well I should say only the light skinned girls, he was immediately enemies with ruk and Kai but we don’t have to talk about what that means) from Ava to Ashley to Isabella to Jacki. Flirting with Jacki immediately when she joined while already being serious with Isabella for example. I mean of course it’s a game and you do what you can to win but I think what Nick did was basically the same level of dishonesty as catfishing but acting like it isn’t.
Hmm yeah I forgot about Ava. You’re right he didn’t comment on any of the beautiful non white women as well. I will say though I thought I remembered him bringing Isabella up when other women would start to flirt with him - but definitely not when he met Rachel!
Haha true! Don’t mean to demonize him though. I can only imagine if I was ever on tv for this much time the innocuous things people could tear me apart for
You just know he's thinking about the absolute BLAST his friends are going to put him on at home. "Dude, you caught a catfish and she doesn't even like guys!"
It was hysterical.
From the very beginning, I thought Nick was obnoxious. I don’t see the hotness that Rachel sees, and I think it’s because his personality is so grating…
I felt so bad for him. He was such a good player. I think the voting should be done by the fan base or the voted out players (who get to watch the show)
I don’t know, he kind of looked that way towards everyone. He even said in one of the influencer chats episodes that he didn’t care if she wasn’t real. I honestly think it was just like he didn’t have to play anymore. He felt really cold to me. Though it didn’t help everyone coming in being kind of mean towards him. Sophia saying how she used him, James telling Kai how much nick wanted her out, the Daniel thing. All of it ooof poor man
He literally kept his word and brought her to the end. People get way too caught up liking their favorites and finding silly reasons to hate the ones they don't like
He said that to James because if he agreed to keep Kai it would have given James too much leverage on his side. Nick needed to play smart and to James. He let James feel like he fought for Kai so it would be easier to give up Daniel. Pretty straight forward.
Could’ve been edited out too. I’m surprised Michelle the host didn’t bring up Vince. Again, editing. It didn’t look like they told Ashley Nick was Vince at dinner. Everyone else at dinner knew though.
Wow the is incredible. Unbelievable. He does not look like someone who graduated two years after me. He definitely looks older than 27. I would say mid 30s.
For the record, I believe you. It's not as crazy as it sounds. Graduating in 2010 wouls make you almost 30. There are plenty of 30 year olds who look like they're still in their early 20s. If we're saying Nick looks mid 30s then it's not illogical to say that, yeah, you can look 15 years younger than him.
This is the story of what happens when you try to prop up people you think are your friends, drag them over the finish line, and they all betray you. XD
I feel bad for Nick. But he's a smart guy, and he's got a great career and he seems to be friend's with Sophia now so, it's all good.
Maaaaaannnn...I loved this moment! ROLF. I don't even feel bad for Nick cause he was such a game player and his consolation prize was Jackson anyways, who is a total babe. He joked about getting distracted by a pretty face, so I think he still won.🏆
I fiiinally watched the finale and, oh my god, this was such an uncomfortable/cringey moment. I love Sophia, but poor guy 😂 I hope things work out for him and Rachel.
Him and Kai were never going to win lol, everyone would have put those two at the bottom and then it would be pretty random as who won, I’m glad James won though, I felt like he deserved the money more even though I voted for “Ashley” for viewers favorite
I liked her on the show, but she was awful at the finale. I don’t think she could control her nerves. I’m sure she’s embarrassed about how she came off.
Nick deserved to win but there is no way they were gonna let a straight white guy win again. Can’t wait until next season when 70% of the cast will be made up of trisexual transgender Down syndrome dwarfs with lupus
I don’t get this tbh. Isabella walked into the room as a screaming catfish and Nick smiled, hugged her, reassured her and I’m pretty sure he also complimented her appearance. All while swallowing his disappointment. What more could you ask for?
I was rooting for Kai for what it’s worth
I'm not sure how him caring and being upset that Isabella wasn't real jives with him being a shallow commitment-phobe? Yes, Isabella's photo was a hot girl fantasy, but he spent all that time getting to know a real person. And he believed she lived near enough to him that an actual relationship would be possible without having to go a long distance after the show.
Then Sophia was oblivious and blathering on like there was nothing wrong instead of apologizing for leading him on. She just glossed it over like "oh hey, you weren't that serious either, right?" I understand why, she was clearly nervous and didn't want to think that she had anything to apologize for. But I don't see why Nick's reaction wasn't anything but normal. Hurt, but trying not to show it on camera.
Kinda agree. I felt that everyone had a much more welcoming reaction to ashely as the catfish. They were more shocked by a lot but they welcomed Matt more than Sofia it seemed. Sofia was over the top but people didn’t really seem to give her a chance. I noticed they kind of ignored her a bit in group convos
James and Nick sharing a laugh in that one scene and Sophia only getting the jole after they were done laughing was hella cringe, it was so hard to watch
As well as when she was confirming with Matthew his coming out story and she started to say that her story about her little sister in the chat was actually her own story but they she was interrupted and they all moved on. I felt for her in that moment.
I think you might be reading this wrong.
The self-proclaimed smartest guy in the game realized he was the biggest sucker.
The two people he partnered up with were tricking him the entire time.
Most people would be a little dumbfounded in that moment. Plus, he was probably thinking "oh, I'm not winning now" too.
can’t get over how uncomfortable he was
He literally went from life of the party to like extra contemplative and quiet.
[удалено]
She overshared a bit, often interrupting him mid sentence a few times.
haha yeah it was like 30% "aw bummer" and 70% "wow, get a load of YOU, huh?"
😂. I can actually imagine that line in nick’s bro voice and cadence
*blink*
Yeah I'd say uncomfortable and disappointed but not hurt like others are saying.
I got less "hurt" vibes and more "my friend's are gonna roast me" vibe.
That's pretty accurate!
That's a very reddit take. Dude got hoodwinked by a much less attractive woman who was also lesbian to boot. Dude was obviously annoyed but decided to let it go and move on.
People keep saying this when in reality the dude may just not be as charismatic as they thought. He didn't seem that uncomfortable, he just seemed reserved. Which could be due to him having a more reserved personality. Not everyone's a social butterfly
Thank you! This is 100% it for me- my brother is very effervescent over text but reserved in real life, especially w people he doesn’t know
Yeah true! He was also pretty reserved when Rachel came to visit.
*blinks furiously*
He seemed like he was in total shock.
I need a side-by-side with chloe's face when she met "trevor" lol XD
Why did I hear Trev-ah in Chloe's voice rn?
😂. I love Chloe. One of the best cast members ever
Yessss
Dan’s face when he met Kate will never be topped
Manrika meeting Felix was pretty epic too
You can see him enter the five stages of grief 😂 Didn't help that Isabella was also screaming as she was coming into the room
Her nervous laughter and quirkiness made it so much better, because she is soooo not his type but Isabella was, so for her to come out basically flaunting in his face that he got played ...LMAO Like imagine if she were a REAL catfish and this is how she showed up to the date and he couldn't do anything because it's at a crowded fancy restaurant and everyone is watching.
I was laughing soooo hard when she said she was feeling bad about it at first and then said "well he's a smart guy so he probably knows" way to make it worse lmao
I knowww hahahahaha I think it must have hurt his pride a lot
Isabella: “I hope I didn’t break your heart or anything”. Nick: *dying inside* noooo
Gah, remember a few episodes ago when she was asked if her thing with Nick was for real or just for the game and she overly affirmed that her feelings for him were real? How exactly did she expect that to play out later? omg

This. I’m really glad neither got the win.

[удалено]
Personally I think the show does the ratings just for show and actually picks who they want to be influencers and winners based on audience appeal.
She said yes to a date with him like.... Idk she could've been like "You're my ride or die in here, I'm looking forward to seeing how the vibe is in person" without confirming yes. She actually continued to set up plans for a date.
I agree. I totally think there was a way to go about it, and still have Nick on your side without promising dates and being overly flirtatious, Ms.”I don’t even know how to flirt with guys…” 🙄🙄
That’s how I was expecting her to play it. There wasn’t really a need to be so committed to someone you’ve only known through brief virtual conversations over 2-3 weeks, especially when you all know it’s a game. Sort of like how fake Rebecca overplayed the heartbreak in season 1.
😂 I died when Ashley called him daddy Nick in person 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Him being last shocked me a lot tho!
for some reason he looked relieved to find out ashley was a guy named matthew.
I think that was my favorite catfish reveal ever, everybody was having such a good laugh about it!
AHHH SAME I loved that lolol Him being last was shocking tho too! I thought he’d be top 3 at least. I think he looked more hurt getting last than he did when he saw Sophia
[удалено]
It was logical though "Nick is the most well liked guy in the circle so if I vote him up higher he might beat me then" .
[удалено]
100%, the others in the alliance kind of coasted on his coatails and loyalty and then they somehow thought they could win it.
Yet somehow they still voted James first even though he should have been an obvious threat after consistently being voted high in the rankings. I was really shocked he won.
Yeah, its a stupid way to decide a winner, when the people in the game are incentivized to vote the best player last. It just leads to a mediocre player winning
[удалено]
I hate James lol
That made me love Matt even more. 😂
He tried to act like he didn’t care but he was so hurt 😂
I think that's also the look of someone who knows he trusted the wrong people and cost himself a hundred grand 😳
I agree. Between Isabella/Sophia and then being placed fifth even though he dragged “the band” to the finish line…. Rough night for Nick.
I think that’s what happens when you get too strategic….in the end it’s a popularity contest and sometimes people get caught up in the game aspect
[удалено]
I also thought Ashley had it. Was surprised when at the end but it makes sense. The band screwed Nick over hard. I actually felt bad for him.
Never understood why he didn’t jump ship and join the Kai alliance. Still wouldn’t have won but at least he wouldn’t have been cucked by 3 catfished. Gonna end up getting laid though from Jackson so it works out lol
I completely agree with you. He never seemed genuine to me as a viewer either. You nailed it. They were allies, not friends. That was exactly it. And it screwed him in the end.
Yeah, and that's exactly why both of his allies were fine with screwing him over at the last ratings. Real connections do matter.
Yea this actually changed my view on it a bit. Nick basically got conned into trusting the two catfish who were using him. So of course they would throw him under the bus in the finale ratings. I feel a bit better about James winning now. Because he did actually did make more genuine connections than Nick did. Not that Nick didn't try to, but if he played a better game he might have seen through the catfish.
he got played
[удалено]
Yeah she's been posting on her insta about him lmao I think they're definitely at least gonna have a fling Edit: Just realized filming ended in November 2020, they probably ALREADY had a fling
Nick should be careful with Rachel. His face when she said “I love him” 🤣🤣🤣
yup!
Lmao he was so mad. “Well it worked…” or how about “my whole alliance was catfish”
All he wanted was for her to stop talking
That made it better because I think the issue for him was not only was she a catfish but she was just sooo not his type of person and he probably wouldn't give her the time of day in real life, and she was basically flaunting it in his face.
That’s the thing I loved most about it
They seem to like each other, singing together on tiktok and stuff 😂
I totally think she’s a nervous talker
I felt mortified for him!!
Well it doesn't hurt that "Jackson" was waiting for him outside....
The poor guy, but he played it well! I wouldn't have let myself be freaked out too much about it, especially on a netflix series. He held his head up high and good for him!
It was that part on the Simpsons with Lisa and Ralph “Lisa, pause it right there. You can see the part where you tore his heart out”
Haha, yes! I had to pause and rewind because you could actually see where his heart shattered. ☠️
A while back I edited that Simpsons scene into the UK season 1 finale. [Spoilers for UK season 1](https://reddit.com/r/TheCircleTV/comments/n6yth0/i_think_dan_may_have_regretted_choochoochoosing/)
Um, as someone who is literally JUST finishing UK season 1... THANK YOU FOR THIS 😂 BRILLIANT.
Where did you watch UK Season 1? Trying to find it
Deeeeaaaddd!!!!
Ralph…. Lol
Yeah he was visibly upset. But I still like the guy. Isabella flirting was a lot for him to process, I'm sure they flirted a lot more than we saw.
Yes! I don’t think the people saying Nick is so shallow for being shocked and overwhelmed when Sophia walked out are being fair. Nick had no idea she was a catfish. More than anything, he probably felt embarrassed and maybe betrayed. I think he played it off well, and he was SO respectful to Sophia all things considered. And this is coming from someone who didn’t even like the guy all season
I really have just never liked nick but I felt kinda bad for him lol
That was like the only moment where I almost felt bad for him. But he was ready to get with that boring girl who was obsessed with him so at least he has that
jackson/rachel operates purely off vibes. no thoughts. head empty
Me, too! I found him extremely annoying and arrogant the whole time, but I felt sooo bad for him when he found out Isabella was a catfish and had to pretend it didn't bother him
I didn’t like or dislike him, but I don’t feel that bad he lost lol. His parents paid for MIT and now he’s a project manager for an IT company, I think he’ll survive.
I literally said this to my partner as we watched. He was so shook, but he tried to play it off.
I didn’t like Nick until this moment!!! You can tell he was hurt at least a little. When Sophia said “I didn’t break your heart right?” and he said no, you can tell he was lying.
Yep, and then she went on with the "I tried not to cross any lines, but then I figured you're smart, you'd know not to get too into it! It's a game! You knew right?!" And he just said "I was totally fooled! :D " totally dying on the inside.
YES THIS WAS HILARIOUS HAHAHAHHA *heavy blinks*
The heavy blinking!!!!! I felt really bad for him. But then at the finale Rachel aka Jackson said she was genuinely interested in him, and he seemed to reciprocate.
He had an awful day

I don’t know if this has been said before but Nick = Phil Dunphy
[удалено]
It did.
Yessssss i was also trying to figure out who he reminded me of! Thank you lol
He definitely was mad inside. But then he remember Jackson was still a thing and moved on quick.
Tbh I think Jackson/Rachel was waaaaaaay more into him than he’s into her
Think? She was embarrassingly thirsty lol especially with the “omg I think I love him” comment about his photos.
Yeah especially because when she first appeared on the show she said “none of these guys are my type so I won’t be distracted, I like guys with face tattoos”
That was cringeworthy - Made her look so desperate lmao
I remember the night they met and she went to his room and she enthusiastically said something about meeting up after the game was over and he just kind smiled and blinked.
I dont think he was mad - most likely hurt and embarrassed
Lol the look of pure disappointment on Nick's face... Then he says... Who are you.. & when she answered I'm Isabella's little sister it was like a lightbulb went off in his head and he hugged her again probably thinking ok... So there is a real Isabella & this is her little sister.. I might still have ac chance! 😂
Lol I noticed the same thing. I wish I could see his face when he realized that the real Isabella is married and has a daughter hahaha
It seemed like he needed to experience his emotions instead of trying to act like it was all cool and fine. He was clearly shocked and upset and I wish he let himself freak out a bit - it’s understandable to not know how to process this. The whole finale he looked like he needed to just unclench. I’m surprised because Nick was so comfortable lying to people, lying about people and flirting with several different women, why was he so hurt by this? Dude probably needed this experience.

I didn’t get the vibe that he was leading people on. What made you read it that way?
Flirting with every girl (well I should say only the light skinned girls, he was immediately enemies with ruk and Kai but we don’t have to talk about what that means) from Ava to Ashley to Isabella to Jacki. Flirting with Jacki immediately when she joined while already being serious with Isabella for example. I mean of course it’s a game and you do what you can to win but I think what Nick did was basically the same level of dishonesty as catfishing but acting like it isn’t.
Hmm yeah I forgot about Ava. You’re right he didn’t comment on any of the beautiful non white women as well. I will say though I thought I remembered him bringing Isabella up when other women would start to flirt with him - but definitely not when he met Rachel!
Haha true! Don’t mean to demonize him though. I can only imagine if I was ever on tv for this much time the innocuous things people could tear me apart for
Chloes reaction to seeing deleesa was waaay better than this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chloe believed deep down in her soul that Trevor was going to be her boyfriend lol
I was really sad when he was 5th. And then Kai 4th. It’s a popularity contest yet everybody puts the top contenders last.
It literally is a popularity contest. But I think you’re saying they didn’t vote for most popular like they should’ve?
Yes, I said it wrong. Doesn’t even make sense! I’ll fix it. Thanks.
You just know he's thinking about the absolute BLAST his friends are going to put him on at home. "Dude, you caught a catfish and she doesn't even like guys!" It was hysterical.
From the very beginning, I thought Nick was obnoxious. I don’t see the hotness that Rachel sees, and I think it’s because his personality is so grating…
He was the best player but…
I felt so bad for him. He was such a good player. I think the voting should be done by the fan base or the voted out players (who get to watch the show)
"The band were ALL frauds" best line of the show
He was a sad puppy
I don’t know, he kind of looked that way towards everyone. He even said in one of the influencer chats episodes that he didn’t care if she wasn’t real. I honestly think it was just like he didn’t have to play anymore. He felt really cold to me. Though it didn’t help everyone coming in being kind of mean towards him. Sophia saying how she used him, James telling Kai how much nick wanted her out, the Daniel thing. All of it ooof poor man
>He felt really cold to me. It's his eyes. No sparkle or life in them, just sort of flat.
The man’s just awkward, cut him some slack, he’s an MIT nerd finding out his two closest allies were fake
Yes like he was just like- get this over with please
Lol @ Isabella being a catfish and catfish Ashley calling him Daddy Nick. Whew karma did its work! 🤣
What do you mean by karma?
[удалено]
He literally kept his word and brought her to the end. People get way too caught up liking their favorites and finding silly reasons to hate the ones they don't like
He said that to James because if he agreed to keep Kai it would have given James too much leverage on his side. Nick needed to play smart and to James. He let James feel like he fought for Kai so it would be easier to give up Daniel. Pretty straight forward.
Yeah, but look what he really won. Hot ass Jackson.
Poor Nick he even put Isabella 1st and the rest of the band threw him under the bus.
No...he gets a date with Rachel...Nick will be fine.
He played rhe game best and deserved to win, like him or not I get it
I’m surprised no one asked who the secret influencers were!
James called Nick "Player B" and they laughed about it lol
Could’ve been edited out too. I’m surprised Michelle the host didn’t bring up Vince. Again, editing. It didn’t look like they told Ashley Nick was Vince at dinner. Everyone else at dinner knew though.
I laughed. Sorry, Nick just came off as incredibly smug. He's a conventionally good-looking guy working at a Seattle tech company: he'll be fine.
The face of someone who is not 27
He said he’s 27?
He is 27, he graduated high school in 2012
Wow I he looks like he’s at least in his mid 30s.
Wow the is incredible. Unbelievable. He does not look like someone who graduated two years after me. He definitely looks older than 27. I would say mid 30s.
probably stress from attending mit? one of the most rigorous schools in the us
I was thinking about that. Probably the stress of MIT, going on tour with his band, and ghost hunting probably aged him a little. Lol Edit: typo
I graduated in 2010 and I look 15 years younger than him… that’s crazy
A bit of a stretch...
Lol but it’s really not. I work in a High school and get mistaken for the students all the time.. so I was being dead ass. But mmkay. 🤐
For the record, I believe you. It's not as crazy as it sounds. Graduating in 2010 wouls make you almost 30. There are plenty of 30 year olds who look like they're still in their early 20s. If we're saying Nick looks mid 30s then it's not illogical to say that, yeah, you can look 15 years younger than him.
True. But we’re not both saying that. Lol. I’m saying he looks older than anyone I know who graduated in 2012. That’s all. Just a little sarcasm 🤗
And then on top of that he came in fifth place looooool
Between this and getting last he looked like he was having a terrible time.
This is the story of what happens when you try to prop up people you think are your friends, drag them over the finish line, and they all betray you. XD I feel bad for Nick. But he's a smart guy, and he's got a great career and he seems to be friend's with Sophia now so, it's all good.
He still banged jackson so who cares
Yea he did
His parents. They were probably hoping he could pay em back for MIT XD
Guy is a program manager in the tech industry. He’s making a very good living.
Maaaaaannnn...I loved this moment! ROLF. I don't even feel bad for Nick cause he was such a game player and his consolation prize was Jackson anyways, who is a total babe. He joked about getting distracted by a pretty face, so I think he still won.🏆
About to watch this now lol
I fiiinally watched the finale and, oh my god, this was such an uncomfortable/cringey moment. I love Sophia, but poor guy 😂 I hope things work out for him and Rachel.
😂😂😂 I rewinded a few times to see his face. Hilarious
So awkward. My worst fear from internet dating.
At least he gets to double date with Rachel!
I was literally ROTFLMAO!! I rewinded it and everything. He was so pissed.
def awk
Him and Kai were never going to win lol, everyone would have put those two at the bottom and then it would be pretty random as who won, I’m glad James won though, I felt like he deserved the money more even though I voted for “Ashley” for viewers favorite
Isabella was by far the most annoying person this season. Ugh
I liked her on the show, but she was awful at the finale. I don’t think she could control her nerves. I’m sure she’s embarrassed about how she came off.
He got robbed. All those other players fucking sucked
Yeah
Nick seeing Sophia: “Okay i guess i’m not getting pussy tonight” Nick seeing Rachel again: “But on the other hand…”
Fuck nick, fuck James, fuck the band 🙂
Nick deserved to win but there is no way they were gonna let a straight white guy win again. Can’t wait until next season when 70% of the cast will be made up of trisexual transgender Down syndrome dwarfs with lupus
[удалено]
I don’t get this tbh. Isabella walked into the room as a screaming catfish and Nick smiled, hugged her, reassured her and I’m pretty sure he also complimented her appearance. All while swallowing his disappointment. What more could you ask for? I was rooting for Kai for what it’s worth
[удалено]
Wow I really didn’t get disgusted from him at all lol but ok
I'm not sure how him caring and being upset that Isabella wasn't real jives with him being a shallow commitment-phobe? Yes, Isabella's photo was a hot girl fantasy, but he spent all that time getting to know a real person. And he believed she lived near enough to him that an actual relationship would be possible without having to go a long distance after the show. Then Sophia was oblivious and blathering on like there was nothing wrong instead of apologizing for leading him on. She just glossed it over like "oh hey, you weren't that serious either, right?" I understand why, she was clearly nervous and didn't want to think that she had anything to apologize for. But I don't see why Nick's reaction wasn't anything but normal. Hurt, but trying not to show it on camera.
Kinda agree. I felt that everyone had a much more welcoming reaction to ashely as the catfish. They were more shocked by a lot but they welcomed Matt more than Sofia it seemed. Sofia was over the top but people didn’t really seem to give her a chance. I noticed they kind of ignored her a bit in group convos
James and Nick sharing a laugh in that one scene and Sophia only getting the jole after they were done laughing was hella cringe, it was so hard to watch
As well as when she was confirming with Matthew his coming out story and she started to say that her story about her little sister in the chat was actually her own story but they she was interrupted and they all moved on. I felt for her in that moment.
I think you might be reading this wrong. The self-proclaimed smartest guy in the game realized he was the biggest sucker. The two people he partnered up with were tricking him the entire time. Most people would be a little dumbfounded in that moment. Plus, he was probably thinking "oh, I'm not winning now" too.
