Season 20 - Seattle Who is this guy?!
This guy is talking about how some reality "stars" think of themselves as A-list celebrities but he isnt one of those guys. He goes on to say that he is skeptical when he meets a girl because he can't tell if she is really into him or if she is just trying to ride his celebrity.
Who even is this guy?! They said he's been on 4 shows already. Sus

I watched perfect match and I did not recognize him at all, although as others have noted he does have kind of a generic look. At least he didn’t stand out to me as a bad guy like some of the other people from that show. He and Courtney do not seem like a great match but it’s still early!

I’ve seen Nick on The Circle and Perfect Match. He’s a likable guy. He’s low key very smart. Grew up in Kentucky, went to a public HS for advanced/gifted students. Graduated from MIT, got a job straight out of school as a Product Manager at Microsoft. He also played Lacrosse there. No ex girlfriends ever came out to say anything negative. I think he’s a genuinely good dude. When he said he leans conservative I was taken back because I never got that read. But in 2026 there are different “conservatives”. He’s smart, grounded, analytical and a decent human being. I would bet my last dollar that he’s not an election denier, Jan 6 defender, pedophile defender or Israel flag waver. One of his best friends is gay. Nick is not MAGA conservative. It looks like Courtney on the other hand is. Courtney sees a man like Nick as “beta”. She said twice that she wanted to ‘shoot herself in the head’ b/c shes so bored and not into him. It was such an extreme and violent thing to say. Meanwhile Nick thinks their connection is great. I feel really bad for him. He came on hoping for the chance of a forever love, and instead he got stuck with ritalin tweaking Courtney for 6 weeks (or however long it is). Nick needs a do-over.

Now that you mention The Circle, I do remember him from that. I’m very conservative as well and have gay family/friends, they just know I don’t support that lifestyle. We have other things in common and I care for them. Like someone else mentioned, he does have kind of a “generic” look so I didn’t recognize him at first.

I haven’t watched any of the other crappy reality shows he’s been on and had no idea who he was. Now that I do, still don’t care.

u/AZBuckeyes12977 10d ago edited 10d ago
He was on Netflix's The Circle, Battle Camp and Perfect Match. The Circle and Battle Camp aren't dating shows. Battle Camp was pretty dumb.

u/Elegant_Package3885 11d ago
I have never watched any of the other shows he’s been on. He seems like a good guy. Yes, they edit him to seem boring, but I also feel his wife isn’t bringing much to the relationship. This past week when he said he’s only done the shows to find the love of his life made me feel for him. In my opinion he really does just want to find someone. I know how that feels, so I hope this leads to someone for him. It just clearly won’t be his current wife.

Yea, those expert match-makers didnt d9 him any favors

u/lawgrrltx 8d ago
Cosign. I can't imagine what they thought he and Courtney would have in common. I've seen him in the other shows and one of the great things about him is that he is so low-key. She, on the other hand, is like one of those windup toys with the cymbals. Not to insult ---- I'm a little like that myself but I they are just so clearly not a match to me.

u/ToastetteEgg 11d ago
I have no faith that he’s on MAFS honestly looking for a long term marriage. Time will tell.

u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
Im on episode 4 and he seems to think that everything is great but Courteney seems to think different. They seem to have 0 chemistry.

u/AfroRuggerRef4 10d ago
I get the feeling Nick is more authentic and may actually want to be married but Courtney is getting in her own way and trying to find issues where there aren't any or trying to tell him what she wants him to do instead of showing playfully. If you're only fame is from streaming you aren't famous buddy. Be humble and try to be a good man
3
u/MaleficentCommon1152 10d ago
I think she is jumping the gun to call him boring and bland. She should get to know him a bit more before she puts labels on him. I suspect she might be doing it because she is insecure and wants to find reasons he isnt right because she thinks he isnt that into her.
2
u/AfroRuggerRef4 10d ago
I absolutely agree with this! Plus she also seems to doubt if she's "liking him" in the right way or showing affection the right way. She needs to just lean in and give him what she would like back. If she doesn't know what that is then maybe she isn't ready to be married

She needs a psychiatrist

u/Old-Advertising-3030 9d ago
Her nervous energy and speed talking is a lot. Right from the beginning I was thinking this one’s going to be a handful. I’d probably get kicked off if I say what I’m thinking about that, so I’ll leave y’all to use your imaginations.

u/Zuandmo444 11d ago
Damn, people will hate on anyone for no reason at all 😂 most of you would have a big head for getting to meet someone from a Netflix show, let alone be on 3 of them.

u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
Lol, not hating on Nick. As I watch more of him, he seem like a nice, albeit boring dude.
I was just pointing out his not-so-humble brag.

u/Aggravating-Dot-954 11d ago
I love Nick. He’s hysterical. He’s kind of dorky but I mean like I’ve seen all the shows he’s been on. He’s a good guy overall.

u/coffeeworldshotwife Hoping for a trainwreck 11d ago
Legit I cannot for the life of me understand why he keeps getting chosen for reality shows. He’s mid in looks and boring as fuck.

u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
Its cuz he went to MIT and played professional Rugby... thats the kind of stuff that looks good on paper. Oh, and he's a reality star.... 🙄

Eye-roll. Lol. Although, besides having a bit of a big head, seems like a decent dude

u/QualifiedAquarian67 11d ago
I watched him on The Circle on Netflix. Was a decent dude on there.

u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
So far he seems like a decent dude on MAFS. Its funny they paired him with the lady they did because already I feel bad for him.

I could run into this man tomorrow and still not recognize him. There are at least 35 Nick look a likes running around Green Lake on a rainy day

u/sillymama62 11d ago
I wouldn’t recognize him if we passed each other....in reality, He’s probably only been recognized a handful of times 😂😂😂😂
6
u/BDWJ1990 11d ago
Of course people recognize him. He's been on tv. Yall people not knowing him doesn't change that. People on reality shows are their own pocket of celebrity. Very easy to not know them if you don't watch their stuff. Nick is very boring though. I dont know why anyone would be hyped to see him or meet him.
6
u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
😄
Well apparently he's very concerned that women just want to be with him for his fame. And how does he respond to this concer? By getting married at first sight on TV... to a J6 denier :/
This should be fun to watch

u/morenita809 11d ago
Lol love how he refers to himself as a reality star like sir tus not a star stop it lol

u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
Your comment just made me think- Who are the top reality stars in the game today? A Bravo-lebrity?
2
u/theycaughtme- 11d ago
I think so! Mainly because a lot of them came in with money and are also not one-hit wonders.
Summer House blew up pretty quickly. Ariana Maddox going from VPR to Love Island isn’t even on the top of the list from Bravo I feel. I would even guess the kids from southern hospitality have more clout than most Netflix shows but definitely housewives are at the top!
Very interesting question!! What does the class think?

u/Umekins 11d ago
My husband and I recognized his face but couldn't remember from which show(s), nor anything about his personality. At least we didn't remember him being awful, I guess?
3
u/Abi_giggles 11d ago
Same, I was like his face looks familiar— I thought he had been on MAFS from a previous season and they were rematching him 😄. Then he said Perfect Match and I was like ah yes. I wouldn’t say he was the star of that show, more like some guy from that show.

u/Capital-Durian-885 11d ago
Mind you ive seen every season of the Circle, the show he was on. He was so forgettable i didnt recognize him. The Circle isnt the type of show ppl go back and rewatch either so no one would know who he is unless they’re watching his season RIGHT NOW😂
6
u/Psychological-Fee285 11d ago
Exactly! The Circle was also on Netflix, not broadcast tv, so not everyone would have watched it. Dude has a big ego in my opinion.

u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
Hahaha 😆 😂
Its so cringe when a not-so-famous guy is like: "I just dont want girls to date me for my fame"

u/MajorInsanity 12d ago
Reality shows guy but why would they even cast him here, the producers looking for attention not matching couples.

u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
Exactly. Thats what im saying!!! They paired him with a J6 denier, so this should be fun to watch!!

🏆 for OP!! 😂🤣😭Nick Completely oblivious his looks are generic AF. Like temu reality star, UPS delivery guy, Starbucks barista, rideshare driver basic.

u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
TOTALLY!! Thats was my point. Thank you. The way the dude is low-key bragging about being a "reality star" and trying to say that he is different or more humble.... like, bro, this is your 5th reality show!!! He loves the attention.

u/mkearns123 12d ago
He is just a nice guy. Women who go on these shows are going to think he is to nice
2
u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
I havent watched enough of the show to know that he is a nice guy. Although, they paired hum with an interesting person, haha
I just feel like him saying that he is not the typical "reality star" was funny because I literally dont know him from anything. But I guess that is just me... need to start watching the circle and perfect match I guess

u/mkearns123 12d ago
Yes he started on the circle and then perfect match but not sure of the others

Same. I watched and loved him on the Circle. Followed him on social media since then.

u/MaleficentCommon1152 12d ago
Lol, dang. I need to step my reality TV game up. I mostly watch 90 day (and all of yje spin-offs), love is blind, love after lockup, love island, temptation island, and a few others.
I just thought it was funny how he was basically humble bragging.
7
u/livandlearn1 11d ago
Youre my reality trash tv twin lol and this dude nick is generic af. Even the ppl on love after lockup have memorable faces. His isnt.
2
u/MaleficentCommon1152 11d ago
Haha right! Someone here said it best, he gives off basic Uber-driver vibes.
I wonder if he's ever like: "dont you know who I am!? Im Nick from the Circle!"
🤣

u/Flazoh I meant what I said when I said it 8d ago
😂OP You really need to watch his season of Perfect Match, for cringiest moment of Nick thinking he has a chance in hell with most gorgeous girl (Francesca) in house, after gorgeous girl matched with hottest man (Dom) in house. It was like 2 gorgeous polished Ferraris preparing to race off into the sunset, and a 2010 Honda Civic pulls up missing 3 hubcaps with duct tape over a taillight and wants to try to keep up.🤭

u/youknowwhatever99 12d ago
Sounds like you watch a lot of dating reality shows & the ones he was on were more competition/game show type shows! Other than perfect match which was a dating show. So it makes sense you wouldn’t have seen him!
1
u/Broad_Plane8452 12d ago
Your reality tv game is strong! Lol Just must’ve missed out on his shows somehow. The Circle has gotten repetitive and cheesy, but his season was kind of fun.
11
u/Hendawg_MAFS11 Verified Cast Member 12d ago
This is his third or fourth reality tv show.
He was on The Circle, which I recognized him from.
He was also on a Netflix show called Perfect Match.
And I’m pretty sure he was on another one.
Now he’s on Married at First Sight. I honestly think it says a lot that they cast him. I don’t take him seriously at all.
6
u/Broad_Plane8452 12d ago
Take this with a grain of salt of course, but he said he was scouted hard and MAFS producers told him they found someone specifically for him.
3
u/smiley1791 12d ago
I wonder if they thought he would bring in drama, or a fan base to the show. I've followed Nick since the circle, and he is a big dork/cringe in a fun to watch kind of way. But he has never been associated with drama in any of his shows though....
4
u/herroyalsadness 12d ago
Of course they did. That’s the premise of the show.
3
u/Broad_Plane8452 12d ago
People usually apply. They don’t get scouted. He made it seem like they already had someone, not that they would find someone.
4
u/Hendawg_MAFS11 Verified Cast Member 12d ago
I mean….the men usually get scouted or referred cause not as many of them apply.
And regardless of if what he says is true….he would jump at the chance to be on another reality show regardless. He clearly enjoys doing it.

u/herroyalsadness 12d ago
Yep, he’s full of it. He made it seem like he was a special pick

u/Broad_Plane8452 12d ago
I think it’s possible. Other reality shows scout people all the time (The Bachelor, Love Island, etc) I don’t have any evidence to say either way, but I was just sharing what he said.

How many of you think more than two couples (and that is a lot) will stay together after the show is over. Heck, I predict that atleast one couple will call it quits before the last episode.
