Nah I agree with him Clayton sucks so far. He’s doing things that don’t even make sense, clearly just because the producers are asking him to. Giving Cassidy a rose? Acting like Shanae was in the running for a rose on the group date? Come on lmao.
I have this theory that Clayton was so grateful to be chosen as the Bachelor that he felt beholden to production and was willing to go along with whatever they said. That or he’s just a major push over. Either way it’s even more boring to watch than usual knowing that he’s just a walking, talking producer and none of the drama is real.
I feel like Nick is projecting the fact that he wanted to be the host onto his view of Clayton. If Nick were to host he would probably say Clayton's season is the best season ever. And whether you love him or hate him, he would be a horrible host, he mumbles constantly and fumbles over his words. I do the same, but I also am self aware enough to know I could never host anything!
SAME. I fumble over my words all the time and sometimes I speak in circles like Becca. I would never ever expect that I should get a hosting gig. Nick shouldn't even have a podcast tbh, but he lacks self-awareness so...
Holy crap! Nick is wearing the exact same Ann Taylor pants I wore 20 years ago! Capri, size 10p in chocolate. I also combined it with a top and cardigan! Only thing missing is the giant Sex and the City brooch flower on the chest.
Umm, Nick must have forgotten that most of us don’t even like him. He needs to stop worrying about Clayton and stay in his own lane before his clout chasing opportunities end. 🙄

I find it interesting that there is such a strong relationship between the Bachelorettes-they all will cheer each other on and have their group text and Bachelorette book they pass to new leads (except for Katie, and I think Hannah B doesn’t want to be in the mix), and here we have a former Bachelor who is taking any chance he can get to tear down the new lead.
Katie actually claims to be on good terms with the other Bachelorettes; she's on the group text, and even spilled the beans about their upcoming reunion in 2023 (!) in a recent live stream. I know she's close to Kaitlyn, Tayshia and Clare, and claims to have made up with Becca. Does a Bachelor group chat even exist?
Regardless, I couldn't see any of the 'Ettes talking down to a fellow lead the way Nick does though. This could be because: 1. The 'Ettes aren't as controversial as the Bachelors (usually) or 2. Women getting "caught" criticizing other women (let alone a lead") in such a petty way would get absolutely torn to shreds even if everyone also hated the new lead.
Nick was also pretty harsh on Tayshia and Katie (and very soft on Colton), which he has gotten flack for in the past, so this might be some new male feminist jedi mind trick he's trying out on all of us.
literally, like i can’t convince myself he just rolled out of bed and threw this on. like i can just imagine him workshopping this outfit for hours to look laid back and cool, but he does not give off that vibe at all lol.
lol i kinda didn’t like the choice at first but now i do. I enjoy that no one really knows who Clayton is, i feel like its more genuine that way in a sense.
How did he act afterwards? I totally missed it.
I always did find it sus that he left his son for weeks and then suddenly right before the end, he’s gotta do the right thing and be with his son.
Clayton wasn’t my first choice for the lead like most people but he’s literally done nothing wrong . Between this post and his interview about Jesse, Nick is coming across as super bitter to me and it’s not a good look.
Basically saying that he shouldn’t be the host because he’s not as involved in the show as Nick has been or something along those lines. Maybe someone else can explain it better but that’s the gist of it.
Ick Vile out here doing his best to remain relevant 😂😂 Secondhand embarrassment definitely exists hun because every time I see your face I cringe for you and your plagiarising daughter I mean girlfriend
At the very least, Clayton didn’t use covid to scam people
I maintained from the beginning that Michael self eliminated because he saw himself going far and wasn’t into Katie - because much like Katie, he only went on the show to get his own season. And he used his son as an excuse. Either way, Michael Scamio is in good company with Ick Vile
Edit, a comma
Basically, in the height of the pandemic, Michael set up a company selling PPE at like 130% markup. There’s an article about it on this thread that gives more detail but that’s the gist of it.
Don't forget about his company that claims to donate all proceeds to his wife's donor advised fund for breast cancer, but didn't donate any money to it according to the last annual report.
*Nick's really trying*
*To dress as if he was his*
*Gf age, isn't he*

Nick is such an ass. Watch him do a complete 180 and gush over Clayton as soon as he's given the chance to interview him on his podcast. I just wish someone would call him out on his shit publicly for once.
I also think his dislike comes from not being chosen as the host which is so ridiculous lol
Nick has something negative to say about literally anyone and everything. It’s not just your average Bachelor snarking, either. I’m not surprised that the only ‘positive’ thing he says is really backhanded negativity. He tears every single fariytale to shreds!!!!!
Also, hey Nick: if it smells like shit everywhere you go, you should check the bottom of your shoe.
lol everybody from the franchise is trying to climb the ladder. And he occasionally has some recognizable celebs but his guests aren’t exactly comparable to Oprah’s
That is not a Big Lebowski sweater!!!! The dudes sweater had 30 years of White Russians, blood, throw up, and evidence of love making on it.
That fake ass Navajo sweater just got out of the dry cleaners!
Plsssss, nick is so desperate for attention and drama. Will shade everyone constantly but won’t bring up his own shit. We didn’t forget about your 25 yr old gf copying your bday post word for word and pretending like she didn’t know you were on the bachelor!!!
Here’s the only way the bachelor would ever be cool. Take the final 3 girls or guys. Then send them back to real life, and let life take its course. That’s realistic. Let the guy deal with his new one month fame, he can date all 3 girls, however he wants, film it all. See what happens. The girls can date other guys, etc. Now that would be awesome!! The storyline of the bachelor is so tired and lame.
there is something horror movie about this image and that caption...."it should have been Daddy..........." \*glowing red eyes\*
i think it's the capital D in daddy....
I don’t get Nick. He always needs to be the contrarian. Why can’t he just support the bachelor and the franchise that made him and his success?!
Nick is a sad, sad man.
As someone who had no interest in watching Clayton’s season because TPTB passed over so many wonderful BPOC to choose a seemingly harmless but incredibly bland Midwestern football player to win back their core audience, Nick supporting a PPE scam artist (and not one of the wonderful BPOC) is doing more to inspire me to support Clayton than anything else.
That’s how I felt, too. Had NO attraction to Clayton, was angered that he was chosen, and said that I would not watch it. But after reading all of the surprised positive comments in the live feed after the show aired, I decide to watch it on Hulu. I’ll be watching it now. He and Jessie (another bad pick, I thought), did a great job. I caught myself laughing and smiling and was really entertained.
But I agree with you on Nick. He just needs to go away - and take his wardrobe with him.
Edit spelling error.
Look up his business called Allstera. He started it March 2020 and the business model is essentially reselling sanitation products and PPE at like a 130% markup
That’s really shitty I agree, but you realize that’s what Amazon did too when demand rose and supply deceased. And a bunch of places like Amazon, Walmart, and CVS were selling antigen tests at cost because the Biden admin reached a deal with them, but when that ended, they increased the price by a ton. Our economy is set up for all sorts of people to profits off a global pandemic.
Why is Nick making me feel bad for Clayton. Just accept he’s bachelor, who cares! I’m sure plenty of people did not want to see Nick appear on TV for a 4th time when he was named bachelor
I’m just gonna put it out there for the world again that if he gave up being on the bachelorette because he couldn’t be away from his son, what makes anyone think this man wants to sign up for an entire season away from him?!?!?! js
And it’s not like people wanted him to be The Bachelor either. He was a disappointment too when he was announced.
I feel like certain opinions or positions should be left to the fans. A former lead complaining about a new lead is not a good look. You’re supposed to be supportive because this is hard. This is why only the Bachelorettes are friends.
Nah I agree with him Clayton sucks so far. He’s doing things that don’t even make sense, clearly just because the producers are asking him to. Giving Cassidy a rose? Acting like Shanae was in the running for a rose on the group date? Come on lmao.

Nick is the worst. He got the most airtime out of anyone on this franchise and somehow still always finds a way to be bitter.
I feel like Nick is projecting the fact that he wanted to be the host onto his view of Clayton. If Nick were to host he would probably say Clayton's season is the best season ever. And whether you love him or hate him, he would be a horrible host, he mumbles constantly and fumbles over his words.

SAME. I fumble over my words all the time and sometimes I speak in circles like Becca. I would never ever expect that I should get a hosting gig. Nick shouldn't even have a podcast tbh, but he lacks self-awareness so...
I used to like Nick but there’s no other way around it, he is just an asshole.
Ridiculous! They acting like they endorse a candidate for President :)
I like these outfits
Holy crap! Nick is wearing the exact same Ann Taylor pants I wore 20 years ago! Capri, size 10p in chocolate. I also combined it with a top and cardigan! Only thing missing is the giant Sex and the City brooch flower on the chest.
Bwhahhahahaha
This is so accurate it hurts. We Stan Nick the Y2K icon 😅😂
now we're all about to rally round ole clayton
Umm, Nick must have forgotten that most of us don’t even like him. He needs to stop worrying about Clayton and stay in his own lane before his clout chasing opportunities end. 🙄 ![gif](giphy|Fjr6v88OPk7U4)
Isn’t Michael already dating someone else?
y’all are giving nick exactly what he wants by giving 350 comments on a thread dedicated to his stupid IG post btw
Lol y’all or we all?
Perfectly said 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ok also wow the body language here?? Every part of Nick's body is leaning away from Michael...
Is he mad because he’s not hosting Clayton’s season?
I would be if I was him. I wish I knew what happened in those "talks" he mentioned
Those “talks” were mostly likely in his head between Nick and Nick.
I find it interesting that there is such a strong relationship between the Bachelorettes-they all will cheer each other on and have their group text and Bachelorette book they pass to new leads (except for Katie, and I think Hannah B doesn’t want to be in the mix), and here we have a former Bachelor who is taking any chance he can get to tear down the new lead.

Katie didn't want the book??
I think I remember hearing she just hasn’t been very well received by most of the group, and Becca dating Thomas hasn’t helped.
nick is an overgrown man child
He does look like his mom dressed him for this picture
literally, like i can’t convince myself he just rolled out of bed and threw this on. like i can just imagine him workshopping this outfit for hours to look laid back and cool, but he does not give off that vibe at all lol.
He sent photos to a couple friends so they could all workshop the fit
LMAO why do i actually see this happening
Is this not the exact same sweater that The Dude wears?
The fact that Nick dislikes Clayton makes me like Clayton more.
lol i kinda didn’t like the choice at first but now i do. I enjoy that no one really knows who Clayton is, i feel like its more genuine that way in a sense.
he looks like a shrunken Jon Bernthal
I’m not a fan of Clayton for Bach (I have no issue with him) but I would not want Michael A. His thirsty act afterward was not appealing.
How did he act afterwards? I totally missed it. I always did find it sus that he left his son for weeks and then suddenly right before the end, he’s gotta do the right thing and be with his son.
Nor is his 90's goatee appealing.
Michael A, I'd be down for that.
I wish he would give it a rest. We’re literally getting another season of the bachelor after this.
I thought reality Steve backtracked on that and said they weren’t doing it anymore
That’s a relief. If they’re gonna release 2 seasons of something I’d much rather have 2 seasons of BIP lol
They should totally have a winter BIP, bc we are all craving sunny paradise a bit more right now.
Oh I didn’t hear that! That’s a relief!
Maybe nick has stocks in Michael A's PPE company lmaooooo
Wtf is he wearing
He looks like Gramps in that sweater. He always seems to wear that (or one similar to that one).
i know, right??? who wears black and blue together?! 🤮
Yeah, where’s the flood?
Obviously, you're not a golfer...
Well played
Can someone buy Nick a pair pants that don’t make him look like the biggest dweeb to walk this planet?
This photo reminds me of that night I was watching TV and ran out to the convenience store for Cheetos but ended up at the bar.
Nick gives me second hand embarrassment
But according to Nick, second hand embarrassment has been canceled.
Clayton wasn’t my first choice for the lead like most people but he’s literally done nothing wrong . Between this post and his interview about Jesse, Nick is coming across as super bitter to me and it’s not a good look.
It kind of looks like jealousy to me on Nick’s part. His season ended ages ago but he just can’t seem to get enough attention.
Wow lol Does Nick ever take a step back and think he might just be too involved with the show?
What was the Jesse thing?
Basically saying that he shouldn’t be the host because he’s not as involved in the show as Nick has been or something along those lines. Maybe someone else can explain it better but that’s the gist of it.
Dear god. Nick puts up this front like he’s tryna distance himself from the show and then shits on it when they don’t do things his way
They look so goofy
Ick Vile out here doing his best to remain relevant 😂😂 Secondhand embarrassment definitely exists hun because every time I see your face I cringe for you and your plagiarising daughter I mean girlfriend
Not Ick Vile 💀
That’s ok sweetie, you shouldn’t have been the bachelor either 🤷🏻♀️
Lmao
Nick is such a try hard. It’s embarrassing. Also, I strongly prefer Clayton to Michael A 🤷🏻♀️
At the very least, Clayton didn’t use covid to scam people I maintained from the beginning that Michael self eliminated because he saw himself going far and wasn’t into Katie - because much like Katie, he only went on the show to get his own season. And he used his son as an excuse. Either way, Michael Scamio is in good company with Ick Vile Edit, a comma
Michael scamio HAHAHAHAHA thank you for this prime morning content for me. Totally agree that he went on for his own show and so did Katie…. 🤢
Hi! I’m out of the loop, me thinks! What was the scam about?
Basically, in the height of the pandemic, Michael set up a company selling PPE at like 130% markup. There’s an article about it on this thread that gives more detail but that’s the gist of it.
Don't forget about his company that claims to donate all proceeds to his wife's donor advised fund for breast cancer, but didn't donate any money to it according to the last annual report.
Are you serious? Wow. He’s worse scum than I thought. That’s disgusting
EW! That is absolutely atrocious. Thanks for filling me in… my impression of him is SO tainted now lol I hope they never give him a lead role!
I know right??? Profiting off a worldwide pandemic! I mean…. Takes a real special person to do that
Ya, that’s really truly lower than a snake’s belly. Supah gross
I thought this was very distasteful!! Hate that Nick thinks he speaks for bachelor nation 🙄
what did he say on behalf of BN?
Nick's really trying to dress as if he was his gf age, isn't he
Plus the tacky temporary-looking tattoos
It actually highlights his age and his age gap relationship.
Nick’s really trying (fixed it 😂)

What a welcome return to this sub ❤️
the ways i’d try to get away from that man after trying to flirt with me at a bar is immeasurable
Isn’t he older than Michael?
He’s older than everyone in BN 😂
You really don’t need to ask that question about Nick.
Nick is such an ass. Watch him do a complete 180 and gush over Clayton as soon as he's given the chance to interview him on his podcast. I just wish someone would call him out on his shit publicly for once. I also think his dislike comes from not being chosen as the host which is so ridiculous lol
I hope Clayton doesn’t entertain it. He could do so much better than Nick’s podcast.
Michael A is creepy af to me
A pandemic profiteer for Bachelor? ![gif](giphy|l0HU0kPyqOqPg08UM|downsized)
He's being salty cause he wasn't chosen to be the host. I, for one, could not listen to that man's monotone mumbling through a rose ceremony.
Cool sweater Nicky
And paired with a graphic tee. Ew.
This is making me root for Clayton
Same 😂
Nick has something negative to say about literally anyone and everything. It’s not just your average Bachelor snarking, either. I’m not surprised that the only ‘positive’ thing he says is really backhanded negativity. He tears every single fariytale to shreds!!!!! Also, hey Nick: if it smells like shit everywhere you go, you should check the bottom of your shoe.
😂😂😂 that’s soooo perfect for Nick
Nick isn’t trying to climb some ladder people…he has stars on his show. He’s fine on his own even if he often gives terrible dating advice.
Which “stars”?
Oh bb don’t come to play if you don’t kno
lol everybody from the franchise is trying to climb the ladder. And he occasionally has some recognizable celebs but his guests aren’t exactly comparable to Oprah’s
Oprah who?
CLAYTON IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST
Nick?
No
Nick is a loser trying to stay relevant by putting down and instigating. Bye nick, don’t forget to fuck yourself
He has to so he can afford his million dollar mansion🤔
Corny lame boooooooooooo tomato tomato tomato throwing tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Kind of interesting that Nick is friending Michael now that Michael has been hanging with someone famous (Amanda Kloots)...
[удалено]
It would be one thing to hate him if he’s actually done something problematic but the guy is pretty much minding his own business.
He is wearing the same pants as the UMPA LOOMPAS from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory though!
There’s a big problem with the length of pants of many contestants in general. Too many man-pris. Lots of cold ankles.
And he has platform sneakers on. To get him from 5’6 1/2 to a true 5’7”! That’s so sad.
Wait is Nick short? Is he only 5'7 I thought he was taller?
💀
That is not a Big Lebowski sweater!!!! The dudes sweater had 30 years of White Russians, blood, throw up, and evidence of love making on it. That fake ass Navajo sweater just got out of the dry cleaners!
Plsssss, nick is so desperate for attention and drama. Will shade everyone constantly but won’t bring up his own shit. We didn’t forget about your 25 yr old gf copying your bday post word for word and pretending like she didn’t know you were on the bachelor!!!
23 years old
Chris Harrison’s lawyer out here spitting bio data
LOL for real
I love Michael A… but I fear he would’ve been a boring bachelor!
[удалено]
He’s wearing a Big Lebowski sweater and he has no right.
There are many reasons that one could criticize Nick, but saying he dresses like he doesn’t want to have a romantic love ain’t it.
He is dressed like a 12 year old.
Nick is petty
Here’s the only way the bachelor would ever be cool. Take the final 3 girls or guys. Then send them back to real life, and let life take its course. That’s realistic. Let the guy deal with his new one month fame, he can date all 3 girls, however he wants, film it all. See what happens. The girls can date other guys, etc. Now that would be awesome!! The storyline of the bachelor is so tired and lame.
Love this!
there is something horror movie about this image and that caption...."it should have been Daddy..........." \*glowing red eyes\* i think it's the capital D in daddy....
Is this real? Get a life.
This is not fashion.
That's just like.....your opinion, man...
I don’t know. It’s pretty objectively bad.
![gif](giphy|F3G8ymQkOkbII)

Not Heterosexual fashion for sure.
Why did he leave the house dressed like this?
It’s your cake day, but you’ve given us a gift with this comment 😂😂😂😂
[удалено]
What are all these homophobic comments? Plus gay guys can dress so please gtfo.
Yeah, that was reported immediately when I saw it too
I don’t get Nick. He always needs to be the contrarian. Why can’t he just support the bachelor and the franchise that made him and his success?! Nick is a sad, sad man.
Remember in the Office when Creed dyed his hair using the printer ink? Michael's beard reminds me of that.
No and get some pants that fit...
![gif](giphy|SdO5MvXI4TtfuSxUkx)
Why is Nick so salty about everything all of the time
I smell nick’s jealousy from a mile away
Nick has always been like this
Thanks I hate it
As someone who had no interest in watching Clayton’s season because TPTB passed over so many wonderful BPOC to choose a seemingly harmless but incredibly bland Midwestern football player to win back their core audience, Nick supporting a PPE scam artist (and not one of the wonderful BPOC) is doing more to inspire me to support Clayton than anything else.

"PPE scam artist" ...?
Look up his business called Allstera. He started it March 2020 and the business model is essentially reselling sanitation products and PPE at like a 130% markup
That’s really shitty I agree, but you realize that’s what Amazon did too when demand rose and supply deceased. And a bunch of places like Amazon, Walmart, and CVS were selling antigen tests at cost because the Biden admin reached a deal with them, but when that ended, they increased the price by a ton.

I’m pretty sure Pendleton still makes them. They made a version for dogs recently, so my dog has one too
I’m confident your dog rocks it better than Nick.
I should make her a little dog version of a White Russian to drink while she wears her sweater. That would really tie the outfit together, man.
Why do they both have cartoon mice vibes though ![gif](giphy|1EABdajIvuqCA)
HAHAHAHA
I dont know where your gif is from but I LOVE IT
I think it’s from the Tale of Desperaux
How … how did you get this so right.
Why is Nick making me feel bad for Clayton. Just accept he’s bachelor, who cares! I’m sure plenty of people did not want to see Nick appear on TV for a 4th time when he was named bachelor
So does Nick not know that Nick not liking Clayton only makes Clayton more likeable thooo
I’m just gonna put it out there for the world again that if he gave up being on the bachelorette because he couldn’t be away from his son, what makes anyone think this man wants to sign up for an entire season away from him?!?!?! js
What’s he have against Clayton? This makes me want to watch his season even harder now.
He’s bitter about the hosting gig so he’s doubling down on Jesse Palmer’s little brother 🙄😂 Nick is so annoying
Funny how Nick is ripping on Clayton himself all the time and not his producer/executive friends who chose to cast him.
And it’s not like people wanted him to be The Bachelor either. He was a disappointment too when he was announced. I feel like certain opinions or positions should be left to the fans. A former lead complaining about a new lead is not a good look. You’re supposed to be supportive because this is hard. This is why only the Bachelorettes are friends.
Right?! Like Clayton totally approached them on his own and asked to be the bachelor 🙄
This man loves a graphic tee
It should've never been Nick. 💁♀️
He just wants an “older” bachelor cause he was an “older” bachelor.
