Bravo Fans Want Andy Cohen’s Replacement To Be Nick Viall?

There are a lot of rumors that Bravo will fire The Real Housewives host, Andy Cohen amidst lawsuits and nasty allegations, so if he does go, some fans think that Bachelor Nation’s Nick Viall might have what it takes to take over. He’s not always popular with his comments, and he and Bachelorette‘s Tyler Cameron feuded over something that Nick said. One thing about the host of the Viall Files podcast is that he is not afraid to ask hard questions and call out anyone.

Nick Viall Has Reality TV Experience & His Podcast

The podcaster and model started on a different road than Andy Cohen, but they both get their faces on TV screens a lot these days. ABC fans first met Nick on Andi Dorfman‘s Bachelorette in 2014. Later, he was the runner-up in Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season. Finally, he starred in the lead role of The Bachelor in Season 21, and he also appeared in Bachelor in Paradise. Throw in Dancing with the Stars, Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker, and various other television shows, and he’s got a resume that might interest Bravo execs.

Nick Viall earned a reputation as a hard-hitting podcaster, and he’s popular among Bachelor Nation fans. However, he also talks about other shows, including Bravo’s Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules. Of course, Bravo fans adore Andy Cohen. The idea of him not hosting The Real Housewives shows or his Watch What Happens Live program seems horrifying. While his possible dismissal rumors are not coming true yet, that doesn’t mean that in time, he will leave.

Fans Want Andy Cohen’s Replacement To Be Nick?

On a Reddit forum dedicated to Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, an OP shared a video of Nick doing a podcast on TikTok. You can see it further down in this article. He’s been discussing Ariana Madix and the rest of the cast in the aftermath of the Tom Sandoval scandal. Also, he’s not holding back on the cast, including people like Lala Kent.

In their caption, the OP said to other Vanderpump Rules fans:

Nick Viall absolutely nails it.

Some Bravo fans didn’t like Nick during his early days in the Bachelor Nation, but most of them now feel that he grew on them during his time on the Viall Files. Although the discussion did not extensively mention Andy Cohen, it seems that if the host of The Real Housewives were to leave, this ABC alum might be able to take his place.

The Discussion

Plenty of Bravo fans participated in nthe discussion, and here are some of those comments:

• I don’t know Nick Viall outside of his vpr podcast episodes but he is consistently having the best takes regarding the show and the cast. He’s pretty spot on with his commentary and asks the questions in interviews that Andy really should be asking but doesn’t.
• I don’t watch anything Bachelor but his takes on VPR are spot on and I love how much he likes Katie & Dayna. I also found him pretty endearing on whatever that show on Fox was with Sandoval (I truly don’t remember the name 😂).
• I only tolerate Nick bc he’s given Katie the podcast platform to get away from relying on VPR. He also has a long history on reality tv, including the lead on The Bachelor, so he knows the production elements & has experience as a personality.
