Nick Peterson absolutely stunned fans and co-stars alike with his decision to keep all the money for himself on the Bachelor Pad season finale last night.
Leaving Rachel Trueheart both brokenhearted and broke, Nick's controversial move proved that not all everything in the Bachelor universe is scripted.
It's impossible not to feel bad for Rachel, who was already reeling, having developed feelings for co-star Michael Stagliano that were not reciprocated.
At least she would win $125,000 at the end of her Bachelor Pad ordeal, though ... or so she thought. Often-overlooked Nick Peterson had other ideas.
With a decidedly undiplomatic swagger after the fact, Nick clearly didn't handle the situation as well as he could have last night. But this is still a game.
On merit, Peterson pulled off one of the all-time reality TV coups, outlasting a partner (and cast in general) that didn't think he "deserved" to be there.
Nobody in Rachel’s alliance gave a $h!t about Nick Peterson, who they considered a pawn, and who and planned on voting off as soon as they needed to.
This is fact. However lucky he was to float through the game as long as he did - and to gain a legit shot when Michael was booted - he seized the chance.
So there he was last night, with the option of splitting the cash with a partner who never liked him, or to roll the dice and go for broke. $250,000 or $0.
He went for it, and won it. Rachel was stunned; their fellow cast members even more so. Sure, it was brutal, but the option is in play because it's a game.
Chris Bukowski probably would've done it, too, had he not burned so many bridges playing so hard for the money all along. Can you really fault Nick?
