Putting this here since it ties into when Nick possibly knew.  New interview from Luke.

I truly believe they strung Luke along waiting to see what the reaction to Nick would be after BIP's Yoda edit.  That edit speaks volumes of what was brewing in Fleiss' brain. Not to mention the amount of TV appearances/interviews/pod casts Nick has done since BIP started airing. He's been EVERYWHERE!

Why she thought she'd be any different than anyone else is beyond me. Of course he was going to dump her ASAP if something better came along. Get a grip Jen.

This too. I mean, seriously. Did she understand who she was hooking up with? It would have to be MAJOR Romeo and Juliet caliber love for Nick freaking Viall to turn down the leading role on this $hitshow.

I don't feel sorry for Jen either....she is after all just another notch on the boys belt. Cant wait to hear the stories of how many women he bags on his season, as me thinks he will break the one and only Blobs record.
IMO... It's quite obvious to me that those who say he is sincere are correct, in that Nicky boy is sincere in doing anything for this franchise( Fleiss's minion), to get D list fame, be on TV, attempt to get a career out of this.

I want Nick to prove me wrong, and not pick a 24 year old wannabe model/actress/tv host...if he's truly looking for love. Hope it doesn't end up like Ben F.'s season and everyone hates him.

Poor Luke, the producers really do break hearts.

Love him though. Really smart of him and I hope he sticks to it and doesn't do Paradise or anything.

"Don’t expect Pell to dole out roses in the future, either. If producers approached him again to do The Bachelor, “I probably wouldn’t do it,” he admits. “I don’t want to wait in the wings for what decisions they can make for my life. I want to head back into taking control of my own destiny.”

So the producers tell Luke late Sunday night. Offer Nick the role sometime Monday. Nick tells Jen Monday evening. And they tell the world Tuesday night. Talk about a whirlwind. No wonder everyone involved feels a little off balance.

Obviously Luke and much of production were planning for him to be the main man. Nick probably had no idea of their interest in him. Even if it was mentioned to him, I'm sure he was flabbergasted to find out they were serious, especially given the prank they pulled last year.

If going by reports and spoilers, Nick never proposed to Jen so IMO she should count herself lucky she got the chance to gain more followers and shill on her SM because of her stint on BIP since hardly anyone going by SM remembered who she was.

I don't think they'd tell Luke he was out as the Bachelor until they had Nick signed, sealed and delivered.

Was there any explanation as to why they decided to move away from Luke and choose Nick?

Can't wait to see how Neil Lane reacts when Nick arrives to pick out his 3rd ring!!

Between this and that Mills guy teasing the twins might show up, this is definitely a skip season for me. Too many annoying fame whores in the mix already.

Shame about Luke. I would have watched his season.

He was probably hanging around after Robby and BBJ waiting for him to show up this season and felt disoriented when he didn't, so I'm sure he'll feel like all is right with the world.

Or is it 4th? ... Didn't he pick the 3rd ring in a promo for BIP? ... What was that about when we know he didn't propose to Jen?
