Jess is a girl's girl and I really respect that!

[@jackstelianou]

Okay

[@ihi675]

Jess has Chelseas back and thats a great quality to have....being loyal to her friend in a situation where it would be easy to jump on the bandwagon really speaks to her character.

Just when we didn’t think Rachel’s could be a worst person, we find out that she gave up Graham after taking him from James in the first place. I was livid, and so happy that he’s back with James!!!

[@lexiclowers]

I’m so glad Jess said Chelsea’s feelings are valid! She’s getting DRAGGED on social media but the man clearly didn’t like her and kept trying to say he did. She obviously was confused and needed constant reassurance cause he was lying to her!!!

[@amskilletrockz]

It’s so funny that Nick keeps insisting that we know nothing about Joey & that the only reason people like him is that he’s hot, when he’s shown more personality than almost any other bachelor? Like you can just tell Nick is upset that he’s so good looking that he wants to make his likability all about that…nothing about Joey’s humor, his empathy, his eye contact, what a good listener he is, how vulnerable he’s willing to be with the women. You don’t have to be a dick to show “personality,” Nick. Joey is everything Nick couldn’t be as the bachelor & it’s honestly so amusing to see how riled up Nick gets about how well Joey is received.

[@SupernaturalLove100]

Is he getting riled up or merely stating his opinion? I think what Nick means is we don’t know much about Joey’s personal life or fundamental beliefs bc he’s too busy listening to trauma dumps. Maybe Nick’s expecting TOO much, but that’s his opinion

[@JuliaSamoylenko]

Yes! So well said!!!!!!! 100% He’s loved NOT because he’s “hot”. In fact, I didn’t even really think Joey was that attractive. His whole personality, empathy & all that won me over

[@AlexandraLemley]

We don’t really know much of anything about him, he’s very reserved as far as sharing his life experiences…most of what I know/learned about him is from ppl sleuthing on the internet. I do like him, but he’s always just listening to the women’s life stories. I wish he’d open up more!!!

[@0104blackpearl]

He’s definitely downplaying Joey!! Give him the praise he deserves!!!!! I don’t understand why there has to be a negative.

The fact you guys say they’re mocking Chelsea is disgusting. And then questioning why she wasn’t standing up for herself or doing better while simultaneously adding on to the humiliation she probably feels. Especially Nick, a grown man and father.

I totally agree - it was so mean and unnecessary - they act as bullies. It was hard to listen, to them mocking her voice, and her looks (by calling her Megan Fox repeatedly), and no one stood up for Chelsea. Not cool

[@kaitlynbristle5685]

Why is Nick so jealous. Joey is a real person but also he is charming and handled the Maria situation the best he can. He is just real person

[@sadieeliza1989]

The fact that he had that whole conversation about Joey and Maria without acknowledging that what Maria said to him was an exact trigger for his biggest fear in all of this (having someone leave/not reciprocate at the end) is telling. He’s not even trying to give Joey grace or understand him. Clearly Joey could have been more comforting, but I think he was obviously triggered in that moment and I don’t know anyone who can respond with their best capability when triggered. I agree with the opinion that she was being a bit manipulative with Joey in that conversation and I was honestly surprised Nick didn’t have that as his takeaway from that interaction. To me that says he is bent on criticizing and finding fault in Joey, so much so that he missed the bigger problem in that whole scene.

[@oksanaml9279]

Every single person who meets Joey talks about what a truly nice human he is.

[@sadieeliza1989]

Also I definitely saw him display empathy in that conversation. But he also expressed how it was making him feel to have Maria say those things and that’s a fair response.

@@sadieeliza1989now THIS is a reasonable critique about Nick that goes beyond the tired “he’s jealous” crap. He could’ve seen it from Joey’s side as well. Joey ain’t perfect. I don’t think he used “bachelor language” at all; he told her they had a connection she always downplays. He did say that he couldn’t understand her during the rose ceremony which was confusing bc during the original talk, he said he understood where she was coming from having been in her shoes at once so idk abt what that was about. Apart from that, was he a bit cold? Sure but it could’ve been bc he was of course triggered and tired.

[@JuliaSamoylenko]

OMG. Nick could not be more wrong with this take. I knew he’d say something like that unfortunately. He just can’t handle that Joey is so loved. There was nothing wrong Joeys response. Maria came into the conversation in a very dramatic way, not just sharing her concern but immediately started off with “I’m not cut out for this so I’m leaving.” She was so manipulative because I think he’s used to getting what she wants. I can totally see why he responded the way he did & he absolutely did kind of affirm her but he def set a boundary by not running after her. She realized he wouldn’t and came back all collected & cool. This whole time, Joey has been so present with the women, so empathetic & gentle. I just think he could read through the bs. Think about it…Kelsey shared similar thoughts and concerns but the WAY she did it, his final thoughts were “wow she’s in here for the long haul & I trust her.” Whereas Maria only cared about herself in that moment. And his final thoughts were “I can’t trust her” I totally see why he probably felt like her behavior was problematic. He even said “listen this is just as hard for me as for you.” Especially after all the drama she was part of. I can totally see why girls had problems with her!

[@y.g2344]

Agreed, he is way off and needs to rewatch. Joey was soo good in the way he responded to Maria’s temper tantrum, he shut her ass down. I actually was indifferent to Joey UNTIL this.

Lmao can we just for one moment realize that Joey and Maria are human beings and are valid in what they felt. I think calling it a "power play or move" by Maria negates the fact that hey, maybe her emotions just got to the best of her and she was spiraling. I think she had to come to a moment of understanding that her emotions did get to the best of her. For Joey, I think he seemed overwhelmed and tried to handle it or assure her the best way he could. I think the contestants obviously know what they signed up for but it seems like once you're actually in it, it can get to the best of you. As for who can become the bachelorette, I think all the girls that are in the top would be great but I do feel like we need to see the show navigate differently than what America would be used to seeing...

I love Joey, but I do see a bit of a people pleaser in him that is often begging for a break. He is a whole mature man, but he always does what he’s expected to do and I think that doesn’t let him assert himself the way he wants to sometimes. That’s the dichotomy he keeps dealing with - the suffering he talks about that none of us are taking time to think about as an audience. Nick is calling that out. The reaction with Maria was the first time we saw him just express an emotion that can be perceived negatively outside of yourself. He’s tired of having to magnify this do-gooder, and when Maria voiced expectations that are already at the forefront of Joeys worry, out loud, he snapped. It’s too many expectations. I’m not saying Joey isn’t genuine. The difference between him and other bachelors is that he isn’t as two-faced and has a little bit more self control to pull off this kind of restraint. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t think mean things every now and then that we would be outraged to hear. Human. Joey goes through life trying to perfectly meet everyone’s expectations of him being this mature and sweet guy. Only problem is, he bottles his frustrations to never seem like the bad guy, and the bachelor is forcing him to bring this out because the entire show is beyond the level of socialization that happens in real life. He has mastered putting his feelings down to not affect someone else, to the point that on this show, there are so many women to assuage, he’s snapping to the other extreme. He’s human, and perfectly capable of being selfish. For some, being seen in this “amazing man” light, in itself is selfish, even if it seems so selfless to us women who are at the receiving end of the attention. Hot take, but Nick is one of the best podcast hosts for reality television that I’ve ever seen. He is so incredibly perceptive and somehow doesn’t fear being hated on for hard truths 😂 That said, I do think Joey kinda irks him, and I hear what ppl say about jealousy and blah blah but honestly, I think he just sees something and is frustrated that nobody sees that it’s a little bit of a front, as caring as Joey is. For anyone that doesn’t believe the charity comment, joey’s own family noticed this - which is VERY telling. We know how it looks when a person we’re close to changes their personality for someone. I’ve seen way more chemistry between Joey and some of the lesser contestants this season than I EVER saw with Charity. They kissed to avoid talking tbh. In reality, he just wants Joey to be real with himself so everyone else can see deeper into him too. He really doesn’t have to be this perfect man all the time, it’s human to snap.

2:25:23 I think you’re over exaggerating Nick. I don’t think Joey ever actually used “bachelor language” toward Maria. He said that she always downplayed how great of a connection they have. Sure, he appeared agitated -which I know you reasonably acknowledged as him possibly having a bad day - bc he’s human, but beyond that, he didn’t really use “you should b grateful you’re here Maria, you’re top 4,” language. If you’re saying he implied it, I mean, what else was he supposed to say? He said they had a great connection. What else? She put him in a tough position and I agree w the guest that Maria absolutely expected him to chase after her or bend over backwards to validate her. I kinda felt hurt on her behalf when he didn’t get up from that couch lol and that might b indication that she is not who he’s gonna choose whatsoever since he didn’t really try to get her to stay. But in his defense, he wants to be chosen and shouldn’t have to beg anyone to stay. He could’ve at least put in more effort though. He didn’t. But apart from that, he didn’t use bachelor obnoxious lingo.

[@TiffanyRicci-z6z]

Maria was threatening to leave! That triggered Joey and reminded him of the reality of the situation. And it looked like she was manipulating him. That would be frustrating.

[@nosamhmd9144]

She wanted reassurance and he didnt give her that so i wished she understood that he wasnt into her that much,and actually saved herself and left.

[@MosDesigns-n8b]

Jess is amazing! She is not only a girls girl and beautiful, her confidence is an attractive quality. Jimmy’s attractive quality was his voice…and that’s it…

[@dannyphantom8094]

Rachel still never talked one on one with Ariana… no respect

[@saraevans4490]

I think Jared Fried has the best take on Love is Blind about attractiveness. He says Love is at least a 7. Yes there are some that are more attractive than others but no one is “unattractive.”

[@LauraZab-c7l]

I think Joey called Maria’s bluff and was firm with her. Cuz Maria wasn’t just saying that she was struggling-she was saying that she couldn’t handle it anymore and was leaving. It felt like an act from Maria to get a reaction from Joey. And Joey was like look this is what it is. I think Joeys annoyance was valid and that doesn’t make him an asshole.

[@Mel-dp5jn]

I don't understand the confusion about Dorit's outfit. She's very vocal about her support of Israel seeing as her dad is Israeli. I just assumed this is a shout out to her heritage...

[@lindaantebi955]

Agreed! I thut Jenn was going to make it further than Rachel or Kelsey. I was excited for the cocktail party of the rose ceremony so disappointed it got canceled

[@ruthalon9323]

Jess is a really good person. Chelsea isn’t a good friend. She brought up the Megan Fox conversation to Jimmie knowing very well he was also dating the most beautiful girl on the show (Jess), she didn’t say it to Trevor because even though she had a better connection with him, she only went after jimmy to feel that she was beating the pretty girl. It’s unfortunate that Jess doesn’t see that and Chelsea took advantage.

[@joanna0988]

Jimmy told Chelsea his celebrity lookalike which wasn't aired and that guy is much hotter than Jimmy so was he disingenuous too? Also Jimmy said that Jess got a good edit because she mentioned how hot she was in the pods often.

[@kellyhenzlik5619]

I went to a taping joeys season on the talent show group date and the way Kelsey and Joey kept looking at each other and smiling I knew she was gonna be top 2

[@sarahlang2119]

This is the episode where i remember what i like about Nick, insight and frankness re the Bachelor

[@Bev-ish]

Should definitely get Brittany/Ken on here. There has to be a lot that we missed.

[@maddiemoooo00]

It makes sense they’re all in sales because that’s why they were so good at selling themselves to producers and the women.

[@brittan.hallum]

Random thought, I think Jess & Tyler Cameron would be so cute!! Especially with him saying he’s ready for commitment & settling down 🥰

[@jadin845]

100% agree with Nick. Why has no one said this. Yes she seemed clingy, yes she was whiny, yes she was annoying. Like let’s not pretend that wasn’t so cringe

[@iron_Xtreme]

and the reason she got SO offended when Jimmy called her out with his blunt honesty about it was bc it hit home

[@HappyLunaCosmic]

Anyone notice nick always invites (for the most part) attractive guests lol

[@missdime7433]

I have noticed that actually, also I wonder why he doesn’t invite black entertainment people who also have a take on LIB and Bachelor and. House wives. Jessie woo is amazing Carlos king, nene leakes, Cameron from LIB

[@tgrami795]

He invites the “cool kids” of each show - and for sure overlooks POC.

[@missdime7433]

@@tgrami795 if we’re talking about the cool kids then this ain’t IT! He invited all the ‘cool kids’ and still sitting on less then 150k subscribers. Meanwhile other minority KZbinrs in the same entertainment industry have surpassed him! Ps am tired of him since I found out he’s about to marry a childbride! He’s 43 dating a 20 year old who’s 24 now

[@misserikaedison]

If I had a dollar for every time Nick has said in ALL podcasts “as someone who…” and then shoves down our throats that YES he WAS the bachelor ID BE A MILLIONAIRE

[@karrivelasquez9138]

I enjoy Nick's recap of BN overall. I always make a point to listen/watch bc he is so entertaining. "Sure go ahead stick your tongue down my throat" 😂😂

[@aisharedux781]

I get what Nick is saying though. Joe deflects to Bachelor language quite a bit and had an A.I. disposition throughout most of the season until that Maria moment. To me Joey seemed moreso disappointed and emotionally triggered by Maria’s decision to leave. I think they were both valid. It felt to me like she wanted a firm confirmation from him that he couldn’t give. It ended up messier than she intended.

[@ticoraadams1316]

I definitely disagree on Nick's take on Joey and Marie. Calling Joey the problem in that convo when it was clear that Maria definitely was tryna manipulate Joeys hand is crazy. Maria tried to pull a power move and it backfired in that moment

[@ayladennison8244]

good takes, Nick

[@BetaTestaburger]

Jess is off base about Ken, Ken started icing her out and thats why Brit lost her feelings for him. He convinced her in that time, that she was the reason for them having to break up. He's a seemless manipulator, got everyone fooled with his gentleman like demeanor.

[@brightsidegirl]

Currently watching the UK season one of traitors. I didn't think I'd like without knowing anyone. But I was wrong. It's amazing. I was shocked how everyone starts crying episode two 😂

[@sherriromas5871]

UK seasons are BRILLIANT. I like the show better with normies as opposed to reality stars tbh

[@brightsidegirl]

I'm really enjoying season two of US and One of UK!! I think half normies half reality was a bad plan for season one of US that was brutal 😂

[@melissadhanraj6493]

I completely AGREE WITH NICK ABOUT Sarah ann and Jeremy

[@nomadichomebody4230]

There is no redemption for Tom. He is an egomaniac and doesn’t feel remorseful for what he did and acted horribly in the months that follow. He gave some interviews and acted in a narcissistic way. He’s not likable. He is better off leaning into a villain character. His pity party and sad sap is all a bad act.

[@selenadonker]

Ben Higgins on his podcast said that bachelors would cancel cocktail parties just so they could sleep. I get it. Everyone is so exhausted at that time and well also causes more drama for TV. PS- Nick, why the hate on Joey? Everyone criticized you so why not show more empathy to someone we (mostly) feel is doing his best?

[@candy07831]

A vasectomy is not an appropriate form of birth control unless they didn’t want kids which they have clearly expressed that they do

[@mrsjessicasmith]

Right!?! Why hasn't anyone said this?

[@natashahobbs3651]

People who think Maria is faking it do not understand what it’s like to have a fearful avoidant attachment style

[@melissacampbell957]

Y’all forgot to mention that she said that one of her best friends is her ex boyfriend

[@evalovestolove6591]

A man has a right to his own body just as a woman does. There is nothing wrong with a man saying he needs a breather from sex. He can have boundaries too. Chelsea was trying to throw him under the bus and make him look like a bad guy.

[@samarkhan1757]

I actually agree with Nick in that Joey didn't empathize with Maria in the way she needed. Being emotional is valid and Maria being scared and feeling insecure isn't a crime. She's allowed to feel what she feels and vocalize that, I don't think it was a "power move" by any means. Maria would be a great bachelorette, Daisy is nice but we've had like 6 Daisies as bachelorettes, we need someone outspoken and spunky like Maria.
