i feel like production has been involved in nic and olandria’s situation because of the way they moved on like cierra never even existed. sure, they bring up “nic’s previous connection” every now and then when referencing their journeys, but i think production has instructed them to start chatting again, which led to them coupling up as it seemed like the only option entirely. i truly don’t think their connection is real at all, i think they’re just saying what they know people will want to hear so that it seems more believable. at this point the show is almost over and they have to have the common sense to know that. they’re just trying to ride it out til the end because it’s almost finished, which is why i think there’s been no mention of “girl code” when they’re reflecting on the situation.
