Nick Viall must be the most unfortunate contestant in ABC's "The Bachelorette" as he experienced two consecutive heartbreaks in the hands of two different women.
Viall first experienced the pain of rejection in season 10 when Andi Dorfman decided not to give him the chance to propose on national television. She asked him to go home before she said yes to Josh Murray's proposal.
Then the 34-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee graduate almost had a chance of having a real shot in finding true love when he and Kaitlyn Bristowe had a strong start. They started communicating before she was featured in "The Bachelorette" season 11, and he even urged the producers of the long-running dating reality competition to let him join in the middle of the season because he believed that he and Kaitlyn had something special.
Vial had an obvious advantage over all the other men since Kaitlyn agreed to spend more private time with him. They even had a controversial intimate moment in Dublin. This is why viewers of the show initially believed that Nick was the runaway winner in this year's "The Bachelorette."
However, when he and Shawn Booth were the only ones left during the final rose ceremony, Kaitlyn chose Shawn over him.
It is no longer a surprise, therefore, that the Software Sales Executive no longer wants to appear in the future seasons of "The Bachelorette."
"There is zero percent chance I'll go back," Viall said. "I am done with The Bachelorette!"
But while he said that he will never return to the show, he told Us Weekly that he might still consider joining "The Bachelor" season 20 if asked.
"As far as The Bachelor? I spent the past three months really just focusing on moving forward. It took a lot out of me, and all of my energy has been focused on [healing]. After last night, I think anyone would feel really lucky to be considered. It's obviously an incredible opportunity," Viall said.
Aside from Viall, two other contestants from last season's "The Bachelorette" are being considered to be the next Bachelor. These are Ben Higgins and Ben Zorn. But at the moment, ABC is still mum about the final casting of "The Bachelor" season 20."
