Basically, it just seemed too good to be true that producers had set up something everyone was begging for, for so long, and even interrupted Casa Amor to bring them together.<\/p>\n<p>For the entirety of season seven, everyone&#8217;s been convinced that things feel off. One person wrote, &#8220;I think the chemistry between the cast is off, everyone is really concerned about cameras\/how they are being produced, etc. but also the pace is different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With everyone begging the producers to tell Olandria and Nic they&#8217;re our winning couple without them having truly explored anything, they really did give us what we wanted by essentially making them go on a date they never even asked for.<\/p>\n<p>Then, suddenly, Nic is telling Olandria that he has always thought she is &#8220;so beautiful and attractive&#8221; and even recalled how he told Taylor, who she&#8217;s currently coupled up with, that he found her attractive in the first three days.<\/p>\n<p>One viewer said: &#8220;This show has to be so scripted because ain&#8217;t no way Nic was like oh yeah btw Olandria, now I want to get to know you.&#8221; And okay, so the date seemed more set up than anything, but there&#8217;s no denying that kiss was full of chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>Another person wrote: &#8220;I don&#8217;t find it weird that Nic and Olandria kissed, they been kissing the whole show she&#8217;s obviously comfortable with him now. They&#8217;re friends,&#8221; while someone else said, &#8220;This Nicolandria date, kiss in-fact everything about them today seems so fake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">For all
