Nick Cummin's Season (The Bachelor, Season Six)
Brutally honest and not one to mince her words, Vanessa Sunshine created a stir on her season with some of the more outspoken Bachelorettes. While she has never had a serious relationship, Vanessa Sunshine’s ideal man is both funny and genuine and not a party boy. She wants her future partner to be a man whose sincerity she doesn’t have to question and who doesn’t question hers.
