I feel like Nic was hoping that if Olandria saw Taylor with Clarke, she’d be open to exploring Nic but I think he gave up after he saw she was still stuck on him. He knew if he tried to change her mind he would only end up looking like the bad guy for trying to get with Cierras close friend. I feel like after the blindfold kissing challenge beginning of the season, producers should’ve sent them on a date earlier on. It’s annoying but friendships do become solidified as the season goes on
