If you've been watching "The Bachelor(ette)" for a while, you're well aware that Nick Viall is basically a staple in that universe. He was a contestant on "The Bachelorette" TWICE, and was runner up both times (so sad). He then took a swing at Bachelor in Paradise, only to leave just as single as he came. The question is, what the heck is wrong with this guy? He's attractive, seems to be a funny and pretty nice guy, so what's the deal?

While I didn’t watch Andi’s season of "The Bachelorette," I know that she ended up picking Josh over Nick (which caused a ton of drama on "Bachelor in Paradise"). According to her tell-all book, Andi said she and Nick had some steamy moments in the fantasy suite, but instead of saying “I love you” like she thought he would, he started a game of would you rather. In the book, she describes the night as the “most cringe-worthy, lady boner-killing, awkward” night of her life…ouch.

As far as Kaitlyn goes, she just loved Shawn more. I can’t lie, the entire season I thought her and Shawn were meant to be. Nick also got a bad rep that season because he showed up in the middle, which did not make the rest of the guys like him either.

During his time as the bachelor, Nick has been very clear that he wants to settle down and is ready to marry someone. He’s been good about not wasting anyone's time, and isn’t afraid to send someone home the second he realizes the connection just isn’t there. This hasn’t made him the most popular guy among his exes, but at least he wasn’t leading anyone on.

This week are the hometown dates, and as we all know, Rachel goes home (thanks Jimmy Kimmel for the spoiler alert). Corinne, Raven, and Vanessa are the last three, and my guess is that Raven will be getting the final rose at the end of the tunnel.

I hope everything works out for him considering he hasn’t had such great luck in the past. Hopefully his time as a professional runner-up is finally over.
