Whether you're a loyal bachelor/bachelorette viewer or you just watch an occasional episode here and there, theres a pretty good chance you've seen Nick Viall at least once or twice. From Andi Dorfman's season, Kaitlyn Bristowe's season and Bachelor in Paradise Nick as still managed to stay single. Some people were thrilled and some people were less than pleased.
Nicks first appearance in the Bachelor franchise was vying for the heart of Andi Dorfman in 2014. The season ended with Andi choosing Josh Murray resulting in Nick being the runner up. This season was the first season I had ever watched and I picked Murray from the start. Its easy to say I was thrilled he won but I never liked Nick because he seemed to be only focused on TV time and making himself look better. It was brought up in the season that he only auditioned for Andi's season as a way to become the next bachelor. However, Chris Soules, who finished third, was chosen to be the next bachelor.
In 2015 Nick made another appearance on The Bachelorette but this one came as a bit more of a surprise as he was a late addition to Kaitlyn Bristowe's list of eligible bachelors on her season as The Bachelorette. Being completely honest here I only watched a few episodes of that season so I can't say much about Nick's character from that season but lets just say I wasn't happy that he was added to that season.
Most recently in 2016 Nick searched for love on the third season of Bachelor in Paradise. While initially smitten with Amanda Stanton, Josh Murray joined the island and stole her away. Nick ended up with Jen Saviano. However this relationship didn't last very long because instead of proposing in the end he ended things saying "somethings telling me to say goodbye".
As I said earlier I was never a fan of nicks in the previous seasons, but on Bachelor in Paradise I started to like him. I'm not sure if it was because i felt bad he got dumped again or if it was that he seemed so laid back compared to his previous appearances but something made me actually feel for the guy.
With the premier upon us its now time to think about whether or not this was the best choice for the bachelor or not. The premier will be a good judge on whether or not he's run his course. I think its about time for nick to retire his Bachelor career so lets just hope he finds love for good this time and doesn't end up runner up again. What do you think?
