‘The Bachelor’: Nick Viall on Corinne, Crying on TV, and Group Date Etiquette

The Bachelor star Nick Viall has been making the media rounds in New York this week, and he graciously agreed to stop by Yahoo TV Studios, even though I make fun of him relentlessly in my recaps. In addition to tackling tough issues like his obsession with tank tops and short shorts, Nick explained what was going through his mind at the end of this week’s episode, when he tearfully told the women that he wasn’t sure this “process” (aka finding a wife on TV) was going to work. “It was more me expressing my fears and letting them know, ‘This is where I’m at,'” he says. “I think unfortunately my emotions got the best of me and maybe I just scared the living crap out of them.”

As for this week’s other big showdown — Taylor vs. Corinne — Nick says he didn’t send Taylor home for being a “bully” (as Corinne insisted), but rather for her “lack of perspective.” Also, “I don’t think it’s anyone’s place to ever tell someone else that they should or should not be in a relationship with someone else.”

Other topics covered: Nick’s favorite snack (it’s a weird one), what he actually does for a living when he’s not looking for love on TV, and whether he was ever paranoid that there were cameras in the Fantasy Suite. (For the record, ABC and Team Bachelor say the Fantasy Suites are always camera-free.) Watch the full conversation above, and see you next Monday for week 7 of Nick’s “journey.”

The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC. Watch clips and full episodes of The Bachelor for free on Yahoo View.
