I didn't watch his season with Andi, but from what I understand, all he did wrong was ask in the after-the-rose taping why she 'made love' with him if she didn't really love him. Why is that such a crazy thing to ask? Doesn't everyone know they slept together anyway if they stayed in the fantasy suite? Let me know what I'm missing about what a villain he is, because I don't think he's that bad of a guy from what I've seen. Shawn's the one looking dumb being so hot and bothered.
I watched Andi's season and I think Nick's just not the kinda guy who shines in the spotlight. He's awkward and gets stand-offish when not in his element and some people read that as arrogant. There was a dramatic scene with the other guys on
Andi's seasons ganging up on him, claiming that he's one way in the house (arrogant & stand-offish) and another with Andi (warm & affectionate), but my take is that those are genuine different sides of his personality. I don't think he was putting on an act. He felt confident in what he had with Andi because he was one of her top picks. He knew that. The other guys knew that. There was nothing fake about his confidence and I didn't feel like he was trying to rub it in anyone's face. He was just quietly confident and didn't feel the need to engage in gossip. He's also not great in group settings, so doesn't come off favorably in group dates. Neither would I. That doesn't automatically discount everything he says in a one-on-one setting.
I think he gets a bad rap, rather undeservedly so, as he just seems like a normal guy to me. I don't think he's exceptionally wonderful, but I certainly don't think he deserves the villain rep either. There were plenty of other villains on this season anyway.
