Nick Viall has attempted to find love on national television three times already. The reality TV star was recently revealed to be our The Bachelor Season 21 suitor and it came with a lot of backlash. The backlash mostly came from the rumors that Luke Pell was meant to be the main man for the job. Pell competed on The Bachelorette Season 12 and accumulated a lot of fans throughout his run on the show. Nick has featured on two seasons of The Bachelorette and one season of Bachelor in Paradise, so you can understand why some think Pell deserved it more. What the heck is wrong with Nick? The dude just can’t seem to find love and surely that will make for a dramatic season of the show. View Slideshow: Nick Viall and Andi Dorfman (and Kaitlyn Bristowe): What Might Have Been! Maybe that’s why producers opted for Nick over Luke. However, Nick has now revealed that he is “very nervous” about appearing as the leading man on the show. The 35-year-old chatted with Good Morning America ‘s Michael Strahan and Amy Robach on Thursday. He also admitted that it took him a few days to decide on whether to take the producers up on their offer. Maybe that’s why Luke Pell had his bags packed? The producers could have been stringing him along until Nick inevitably accepted the opportunity. “I didn’t have a lot of time to think about it,” he continued. “Because they didn’t ask me too long ago.” It all sounds pretty ominous, but would Luke have really been the leading man if Nick declined? There’s a good chance of that. Luke’s co-star, Robby Hayes recently chimed in about Viall’s casting and was less than positive about it. He even said Nick was too old to be on the show. Maybe it’s down to the fact that he and Pell competed on the same season of the show. That said, Hayes did confirm that he would consider appearing as the leading man. Basically, if he was asked, he would say yes. No one in their right mind is going to say no. Nick touched upon the huge responsibility that comes with being part of the reality hit. “There’s a lot of expectations that come with it. There’s also no guarantees. …I get to be the Bachelor. I get to meet 25 amazing women, but you just never know if you’re gonna connect with them.” “Maybe you connect with someone who doesn’t like you back.” Amy Robach had the most hilarious response. “Yeah, you know a little bit about that.” That was obviously a nod to the fact that Viall is yet to find love on television.
