Its been almost two months since Nick Viall filmed "The Bachelor" final rose ceremony in Finland, and fans will have to wait until March to see who he picked, unless they take a peek at this season's spoilers. Now that Season 21 is underway and viewers are getting to know the contestants, there is speculation that the season finale may not play out exactly as it was spoiled.
So, will Reality Steve's final rose spoilers turn out to be wrong, and, if so, who did Nick Viall get engaged to? Or, is he single and ready to take a shot at meeting the woman of his dreams outside of "The Bachelor" franchise?
Here's what we know so far, including some hints from Nick that will have many of us wondering exactly what happened when he faced his final two picks in snowy, yet beautiful, Finland.
Did Nick really get engaged?
Right after the season finale aired on January 2, Nick made the media rounds, including a stop on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "Good Morning America." Just like he's done for several seasons of "The Bachelor," Kimmel predicted the winner of the final rose and the girls who made it to the final four. Nick didn't have any reaction when Jimmy rattled off the name of who he thinks is this season's winner — Canadian special education teacher, Vanessa Grimaldi.
Sure enough, that's the same girl Reality Steve named in his "Bachelor" spoilers, so it appears that Kimmel reads spoilers.
Steve states that he is certain that the final two girls are Raven Gates and Vanessa Grimaldi, and goes on to say that Rachel Lindsay was eliminated after spending the night with Nick in the Fantasy Suite. Although he has been wrong before, Steve seems pretty confident that Nick proposed to Vanessa when the finale was taped.
Are Reality Steve's sources wrong?
Although Steve was spot on with JoJo's season of "The Bachelorette" and Ben's season of "The Bachelor," he's made mistakes regarding the outcome of the show before. There is no doubt that Steve checks and double-checks his sources, but the information he got about three seasons of "The Bachelorette" (Kaitlyn, Desiree, and Ali) and both of Brad Womack's season of "The Bachelor" turned out to be wrong, and fans of the show had no problem calling him out on social media.
Vanessa or Raven — or is Nick single?
If Reality Steve's spoilers are correct, Nick will start his post-season media tour with Vanessa by his side. However, some fans are concerned about ABC's video trailer (above) that shows several clips of Raven, but very little of Vanessa. Then there are the fans who think that Nick gets rejected by both girls, all based on a quick video clip. Of course, for anyone who has watched the show for several seasons, they know that producers try to throw the spoilers off with some dramatic and cut-up footage of the finale.
How to find out if Reality Steve is right or wrong
The best way to find out if the spoilers are right (or wrong) is to watch "The Bachelor" finale on March 13 at 8 p.m. on ABC. Until then, try to enjoy watching Nick's season unfold. Even with hints of what's to come in the weekly spoilers, the Monday night drama is too good to pass up.
