He also met the real Isabella.
The two had connected over sports and their alliance in the band.
But little did he know thatJackson was actually Rachel Ward, a 24-year-old playing as her best friends boyfriend.
I thought [she] was part of the staff.
I was so confused …
So then when Rachel walked in I was like, did I do something wrong?
Is my TV broken?
I have no clue what’s going on.
And then she was like, Yeah, I was catfishing.
Nick also thought she was super cute.
She lives in LA, and I live in Austin.
We haven’t been able to do too much dating, Nick says.
Nick also went to visit his Circlegirlfriend Sophia, who was catfishing as her older sister Isabella.
While there, he met the real Isabella, too.
It was only a like pretty brief encounter.
I went to Florida … and we all just went out for drinks, he says.
Im pretty sure the real Isabella is married.
I was looking at the things she was typing in the group conversation, and in the one-on one-conversation.
I could tell that she was reaching out and making connections to other people in the group chat.
It felt really similar to the kind of style of game I was trying to go after.
Throughout the season, Kai and Nick solidified two very distinct and separate alliances.
At the end of the competition, James didn’t really feel like a big threat, Nick says.
So I think because Kai and I was such a big targets, we got rated low.
Looking back now, Nick admits he has some regrets about his choices.
But I do always go back and think, what if I had blocked Kai?
Had he actually tried to connect with Ruksana, he muses, things may have gone another way.
Nick says he also wishes he used his Vince power differently.
When that obviously didnt happen, Nick realized he couldve used the profile in a more aggressive manner.
Kai and I are really good friends now, he explains.
And though he lost to James, Nick doesnt hold that against him.
James is probably my best friend from the whole cast.
We talk like, daily.
