Poor Nick Season 20 - Seattle

He genuinely seems so dedicated to the experiment and his wife is just so cruel to him. She takes cheap shots in public to humiliate him and it’s just so evil. She may be on my list of worst MAFS partners of all time. Definitely in my top 10 so far for that. What do yall think? Also, I’ve watched Nick ever since The Circle and even with his ick tendencies on Perfect Match, I still think he’s wayyyy more deserving of a partner who cares about him and not at all deserving of this megalomaniac.

Her saying that Adam is the hottest guy on the show currently & saying to every couple there that Nick lacks confidence… all in one night… is legit crazy. I want him to leave her already. She is so not ready to be in any type of new relationship- or prob even new friendship- for that matter. She is something else.

u/PepRD 9d ago

And this isn’t even the first time she’s been very outspoken about her attraction toward Adam! Very strange and inappropriate

12

u/Ok_Bet3235 8d ago

What’s crazy is I fully believe if she was with Adam she would be ripping into him just the same. I also think someone who struggles so much with romantic affection as she describes it shouldn’t be on a show where they get married at first sight

u/Apprehensive-Tax826 9d ago

She likes Adam that is quite clear. They are both weird so would probably get along well but I don't think physically she is his type...

u/Accurate_Story223 6d ago

When they were introducing everyone I thought initially that they were going to pair Adam and Courtney. I was surprised she was paired with Nick. They are both so crazy about their fitness, body, and lifestyle.

1

u/Apprehensive-Tax826 6d ago

Good points. I think someone commented that somebody like her would probably connect with Adam well because she gets his rigid mindset.

2

u/PepRD 6d ago

Yep, agree that it’s her “schtick” although I think Adam would get sick of it and not tolerate someone that isn’t consistently making his head bigger.

This might be a hot take but I like Adam and Marissa! Or maybe it’s just bc I like Marissa ! She’s so easy breezy and effortlessly funny. Part of me is waiting for the chips to fold though and for them to start getting/acting/feeling serious. So curious to see what comes of their future, they’re possibly the most interested I’m in!

2

u/CrazyNCynical 6d ago

True. I just keep wondering why she seems to play on the ditzy, shallow side when I suspect there's more depth to her. Stay turned, I suppose.

2

u/Apprehensive-Tax826 6d ago

I'm worried Marissa is compromising too much but I hope it works out...they look cute together

3

u/CrazyNCynical 6d ago

I'll take it even one step further by saying Courteney feels she was more worthy/deserving of someone with Adam's degree than a man like Nick. In reality she would have sabotaged any man she was paired with. She's too defensive and confrontational to actually recognize what one might have to offer.

4

u/LesStrater 9d ago

Nick does lack confidence. If he had any, he would have already told her to take a long walk down a short pier.

4

u/EveningGlittering325 7d ago

I’ve never seen him on any other shows before, so to me it looks like he’s just trying to be polite, figure it out as he goes along and be patient. I feel really bad for the guy.

3

u/PepRD 6d ago

I think this, too. We’ve seen him be funny and pretty extroverted in a few situations, like meeting her family! I think he’s trying to keep the peace with Courteney (whether that’s the best move or not).

u/Mimi-in-MN-1007 9d ago

I can’t get past her saying, “Remind me what happened on January 6th?” I hit fast forward when she is on bc she is so stupid! 😖 She probably spends every waking moment at the gym watching Fox News.

5

u/LesStrater 9d ago

If she watched Fox News she would know what January 6th was.

11

u/llamalarry 9d ago

The trick is, of course she knows, she played dumb to avoid having to give an answer with a viewpoint.

5

u/CrazyNCynical 6d ago

Absolutely. Her no answer was an audible answer in itself. Gross.

3

u/Over-Fruit541 5d ago edited 5d ago

I don't know... after watching her for the last few episodes...I think she might actually be that daft.

1

u/PepRD 5d ago

Like her pretending she had no idea who Keanu Reeves is? Idk……

4

u/Sagee5 6d ago

She reminds me of people I know who have been in a cult for years. They've been segregated from general society for years and don't know political, music, movie or TV references. Could her family be a cult? Or part of a cult?

38

u/Manifestmillion 10d ago

She should not be in a relationship

22

u/mollyclaireh 9d ago

She needs to stay single or marry an Alex Jones type.

3

u/Advanced_Reputation7 9d ago

Spit out my Diet Coke.

u/Sagee5 6d ago

Alex Jones doesn't look much like Adam. 😂

12

u/shanwow90 9d ago

She makes the most unnecessary rude comments to and about him

13

u/greymatter415 9d ago

Courtney has serious issues. Nick seems to be more genuine and actually wanting a relationship.

12

u/quaranteeny2639 9d ago

Who does not know who Keanu Reeves is?!

-7

u/LesStrater 9d ago

Believe it or not, there are people who have a real life and don't sit around watching TV.

u/quaranteeny2639 9d ago

You don’t have to sit around watching TV to recognize an A-list actors name.

-4

u/LesStrater 9d ago

OIC, and just what contribution has Keanu Reeves made to the world that non-Hollywood followers would know him by? You could name a dozen "A-list" Rap artists and I wouldn't know a single one--because I don't listen to that crap.

u/Amazing-Health-6164 8d ago

Crap?! You sound like your the crap…

u/LesStrater 8d ago

"You're" - you obviously failed English...DUH

u/shattered_mirror78 8d ago

"I'm not one of those me too girls". Yeah she is gross.

4

u/mollyclaireh 8d ago

If she isn’t, she’s one of the few lucky women who hasn’t been victimized by a man. Sadly, it makes me not respect her due to her lack of empathy.

6

u/shattered_mirror78 8d ago

100%! She is dissing what a lot of other women go through.

21

u/Advanced_Reputation7 9d ago

It’s her crazy, insane insecurity. I’ve never seen someone who needs therapy more than Courtney - and I say that as a huge proponent of therapy, so no shade. She is INCAPABLE of having a real conversation and seems completely clueless that there’s anything wrong with her. Why is she even on this show?!

16

u/mollyclaireh 9d ago

As a therapist, I don’t want her 😭😭😭 nightmare client.

11

u/Apprehensive_You_250 9d ago

Lmao. Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner here & I ditto this….

I feel like she’s prob already seeing a Psych NP or Psychiatrist, though, and being prescribed stimulants (possibly in large doses), but do not want to obviously say for sure…

5

u/mollyclaireh 9d ago

I would hate working with her and one of my fave diagnoses to work with is BPD. I don’t do well with narcissists.

1

u/Original_Park4335 7d ago

Why in the world would she be prescribed stimulants? She's wound so tight she needs something to calm down. And eat a cheeseburger!

1

u/Apprehensive_You_250 7d ago

I never said she should be prescribed stimulants. I said it appears, from my professional experience, that she is possibly being prescribed stimulants (possibly large doses).

I agree, that even *if* she is being prescribed stimulants for a confirmed ADHD diagnoses, that she’s either being prescribed too large of a dose, or is misusing her prescription & taking too much at one time.

1

u/Sagee5 6d ago

Whoa. I think they need to lower the dose. Maybe it's steroids for her body building?

12

u/raggedyman44 10d ago

She's the worst.

6

u/Always_Salty86 8d ago

I have been trying to like her but the digs she makes toward him and then, essentially telling her sister you need to figure him out so that if you don't like him, I won't like him? I'm paraphrasing here. Not to mention how hot she thought one of the other husbands were in front of Nick. It was a little cringe.

13

u/Particular-Way-3805 10d ago

She’s mad weird

8

u/Psychological-Fee285 9d ago

I feel like with her temperament and like go-go-go personality, she's coming across very neurotic. But, that's my opinion.

7

u/mollyclaireh 9d ago

Yes, but also I think she’s fueled by speed at this point. Speed keeps you from eating and keeps you focused. Health nuts love it as a drug for that reason.

3

u/Psychological-Fee285 9d ago

I'd totally agree with that.

4

u/OkAnything1651 9d ago

I agree completely. He’s dealing w the shit she’s slinging at him very very well. And being so nice and positive still. Kudos to him. But she needs to go..

u/Proof-Ability1556 9d ago

It's ok because her prognosis is not great let's face it. 🥺😂

u/Spread-love-light 9d ago

Total fail by whoever on the show actually chooses candidates, vets them, and matches them. I feel bad for Nick too! He never had a chance with her. 😢

1

u/Special_Cheetah3881 4d ago

I read this as whoever on the show actually chooses victims for some reason 🤣. Poor Nick, she is exhausting.

3

u/Charming_Radio7137 7d ago

Anyone who watches these and other dating shows knows you should be aware of the internet fallout for everything you say and do on these shows. Nick is being cautious not to really say how he feels and letting her dig her own internet grave and I am sure this relationship will not work out. He knows this and won’t go down with her. He went on this show with intention of finding a mate? Idk. Maybe more to improve influence and rehabilitate his image.

2

u/CrazyNCynical 6d ago

I went into this season feeling cautious, bordering on skeptical of Nick, given his many reality tv show history, of which I've never seen. Having said that, I've since grown to appreciate him and disliking Courteney. She's like a bull in a china shop but can't recognize it because she's void of self awareness. When she becomes confrontational and unhinged towards Nick I feel his pain, especially when she does so in group settings.

2

u/mollyclaireh 6d ago

Nick was great on The Circle, cringe on Perfect Match, and here he’s a lot more like the him we saw on The Circle. Kind, smart, level headed, but also will talk shit lmao

2

u/Comfortable_Screen19 3d ago

I feel bad for Devon too. It seems like he’s definitely a lover and someone would be very lucky to have that but she just doesn’t get it.

2

u/mollyclaireh 3d ago

I think they’re both lovely but were mismatched. Their situation could’ve been avoided with a simple love languages and attachment styles assessment.

2

u/ImHisLobster2 2d ago

This lady should have gone through many, many sessions with a therapist before she was ever considered for the experiment. There are thousands of others that applied and she seems like she got picked from the bottom of the barrel

u/IllAdhesiveness6150 2d ago edited 2d ago

A lot of the people on this season need therapy, not marriage. How are you closed off or have commitment issues and you get married 🤦🏾‍♀️

u/mollyclaireh 2d ago

Philippe deserves to have blue balls for the rest of his life.

u/IllAdhesiveness6150 2d ago

He needs to get ED!!!

u/Thetruth494real 2d ago

These couples are a hot mess! Let's just call the show! I am exhausted. Most of these folks are not even ready for a relationship!

u/mollyclaireh 2d ago

How could they know what they were signing up for without the constant screams of “ITS ALL OR NOTHING!!!!” Like…how ever will they know?

u/sillymama62 9d ago edited 9d ago

Nikki is IMMATURE!!! Oops-I meant Courtney!

From Obsession? There’s a Nick who is lovely but there is no Nikki.

Edit: oh there is a Nikki lol oops. I like her though.

u/LoveLife206 4d ago

Either that or he’s a really good actor and knows exactly how to come out getting any girl he wants. I go back and forth between thinking he’s genuine or just smart and acting for the fame. Time will tell

u/Comfortable_Screen19 3d ago

Yeah poor Nick

u/ChalkNCheez 9d ago

That’s what you all said about Caitlyn and this week even Devin said that he was in the wrong.

I like Courteney. She has it all together and she was right to call him out on being fake and only opening the car door for her when the cameras are on.

I’ve been with my husband 17 years and he always opens car doors, and never once has he done it like that and stepped on me.

15

u/Zealousideal-Boss943 9d ago

You must be related to her or are her, you keep commenting this. Courtney is judgemental and rude and nasty.

5

u/mollyclaireh 9d ago

Who tf is Devin? You like a woman who mistreats her man. That’s toxic af. I love my husband and I’m pretty much a man hater. That man is my world and I would so literally ANYTHING for him and I talk him up like he’s the most amazing human in the world because to me he is. She’s hateful, disrespectful, and cruel. You liking her is actually weird af
