Marquel Martin Cheers Nick Viall’s ‘Bachelorette’ Appearance To Win Kaitlyn Bristowe


Nick Viall has at least one person from the franchise cheering him on. On Tuesday, the night part two of the new season of The Bachelorette aired, Marquel Martin, who competed with Nick for Andi Dorfman on the previous season, posted a tweet that proclaimed that he’s Team Nick.

Marquel added that he has had Nick’s back since day one, whether he’s behind or in front of the cameras. Marquel wished Nick luck.

In a promo for the rest of the season that was aired at the end of the second episode, Nick is seen returning to the show in a bid for Kaitlyn. Not surprisingly, his return angers some of the other contestants, one of whom says that Nick has already had his chance. Nick tells the other men that he isn’t the villain.

Nick made no secret of his admiration for Kaitlyn when she competed on The Bachelor for Chris Soules. As Nick watched The Bachelor, he posted several tweets in which he proclaimed what a great woman he found Kaitlyn to be.

In one tweet, he proclaimed her to be “incredible.”

In another, he declared her to be “the total package.”

Is Nick Viall, who revealed on Andi Dorfman’s After the Final Rose episode that they had sex on their overnight fantasy suite date, the suitor Kaitlyn Bristowe had sex with while filming the season? In the season promo, Kaitlyn tearfully confesses to making a “big mistake” after sleeping with one of the suitors too soon.

“I don’t understand it just happened. I don’t think I’m a bad person, and I’m not ashamed of myself… One of those relationships went too far, too fast. And I made a big mistake.”

While the promo showed Kaitlyn to be full of regrets over what she did, she defended her action as normal and said that people were overreacting in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight posted on Wednesday.

“I don’t think that’s a crazy thing to sleep with somebody when you’re trying to be in a relationship with them. I’m a 30-year-old woman and I make my own decisions and intimacy to me is a part of every relationship and I don’t know why everyone is so shocked by it. It’s 2015. I’m an in-the-moment kind of person. I tried to compartmentalize each relationship and be present with each guy, and some went faster than others and some went slower than others. I’m not ashamed of it — I just regret the timing.”

While Kaitlyn wouldn’t reveal the suitor she had sex with while filming the show, she did admit that it was with a man she had gone on a few dates with. The sex with him happened somewhere after their second date but before the fifth.

As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Kaitlyn received some advice from Andi on how to deal with the process and media scrutiny before she started filming. Perhaps Andi, who got a lot of criticism for having sex with Nick, gave Kaitlyn some advice on physical intimacy as well?

Kaitlyn Bristowe also talked to Entertainment Tonight about Nick Viall’s appearance on The Bachelorette. She revealed that they were friends before she left to film the show.

“It was a friendship in my mind. I hadn’t even thought of a relationship with him. And then I saw him and he booked a one-way ticket, and he left his job and it was for me, [I thought if] there was a sliver of a chance that I see somebody that I could spend my life with, I’m going to explore that.”
