It's like a built in redemption storyline for BOTH Kaitlyn and her F1, which we have never really seen on camera on the Bachelor(ette) before.  When Mary did it, Byron was "fresh" and unknown.  Yes, it has happened on BIP/Pad with Tenley/Kiptyn, Blake/Holly, Marcus/Lacey and a few others, but this is different.  Rejects get together all the time off camera (Peyton/Chris, etc, etc), but we don't really get to see it with the showcase that the Bachelor/ette provides.  If Nick is F1, its a good story, IMO.  I say this as a Nick fan though and because I have friends that are friends of his...so I feel a tiny amount if real life connection.  I get wanting someone else to win if you fell on the opposite side of the Nick polarization last year. Regardless, I'm hoping he gets a better edit this season...because truly from everything I know, he is a very normal, decent guy.  My friends think it's really odd he was portrayed so polarizing and as the "villain" last year, cause that is really not who he is at all in real life.

Yes I agree with you GA it was Nick himself that asked to be on this season with Kaitlyn . I think you were the one who had a source that told you that Nicks family was flying to the HTD and that Nick was one of the F3. I am sorry if I am wrong.

I also do not believe he was let go in Ireland if so he would be back in Chicago and back to work. He to me would not stay till they had the HTD he loves his job to much and would not hang around that long. JMO

When you sign that Bach contract they pretty much own you.  He undoubtably had to commit to the end whether or not he was let go- so he may not be on the show anymore and have to travel with them or be holed up somewhere to keep up the ruse.  After all, even poor Kaitlyn last season had to travel back from Bali to stay in IOWA until filming was done.  I realize they have a habit of keeping the F3 these days, but if Nick talked his way onto the show, they may have extracted extra promises from.

All this to say I have NO IDEA who's on the show, who's f1 or f15... and I really don't have a horse in this race.

I actually was at a party with him years ago (apparently), but it's not like I knew he'd be part of my bachelor fascination in the future, so I wasn't paying much attention to him at all.
