The franchise has been walking down memory lane by revisiting some of the best seasons on Monday nights. It’s to give those chomping at the bit for more shows something to hold them over.

The picture he posted to make himself feel better got an unexpected response. As most Bachelor Nation stars know, anytime you put yourself out there, you’re open to criticism. These comments moved Nick to come back with a new picture and a long caption about his feelings. The first picture shown below was a mirror selfie after a workout.
