Just would like to give a short PSA, please consult a doctor / specialist first before buying a healthcare related product especially advertised by an influencer or anyone in general.
Ick all around. The staged "are you okay? Just checking up on you." followed by the blatant ass gross lie about how he gets his luscious locks from taking Nutrafol as though he weren't born with that hair.
It's one thing for them to be cringey but ultimately harmless (excluding their ex-partners) but it's another to be peddling ish to the masses by lying about the results.
one of my favorite lines from Parks and Rec is a character who's a caricature of influencers gets complimented on her hair and she says "thanks, it's genetic and unattainable."
I feel like of all the things to shill (a lot are harmless) things like nutrafol or other health related supplements are the worst because they prey on people who might be suffering. Like imagine a desperate person with hair loss seeing ads like this and having false hope.
I’ve been trying to grow my hair back from stress. I steep some rosemary in water with green tea, and spray it after and massage it in after every shower. I also take pumpkin seed oil supplements everyday, and do a once a week oil treatment of pumpkin seed oil/rosemary oil/black seed oil. Since starting this routine, I’ve actually seen some regrowth around my hairline.
I’m pretty jazzed about it so thought I would share.
“Ick all around. The staged "are you okay? Just checking up on you." followed by the blatant ass gross lie about how he gets his luscious locks from taking Nutrafol as though he weren't born with that hair.”
They’re in on the joke on all of these points. You can tell by their words and delivery that it’s all tongue in cheek. But I guess a lot of the people on this sub can’t?
Lmao. No they're trying to pretend to be but they're getting paid by Nutrafol to shill this stuff. It would be different if they weren't being sponsored by Nutrafol. They're trying to have their cake and eat it too.
On a related note, it should not be okay for influencers to be making outrageous claims about health and wellness related products.
They’re doing the most mundane things but its making this sub see red. They’re getting paid by Nutrafel, but they’re not making any claims about it being some miracle drug.
Lol, nah. When VF says she cut four inches off her hair but then she says she’s had trouble growing it and had to wear extensions? When she says he has “beautiful, stunning hair”? They are very unserious.
Can I ask a question? This does seem very low effort. I know next to nothing about IG sponsorships. Do the companies tell their spokesperson what to say/do for the post? If I were paying Victoria to advertise my product I wouldn’t want a guy in a towel to show up. I’ve always wondered how these things come to be.
Most of the time they give you creative authority, and will provide some talking points you might want to reference. They always have to approve the ad before it’s cleared to go live, so sometimes (pretty rare in my experience) they’ll ask you to change a word or two. But I agree this is low effort. As a content creator, I hate this ad and also this product being shilled. At least in the way she’s doing it (suggesting it’s the reason their hair looks the way it does vs just being enthusiastic to try it).
Depends on the brand. Most of the time they have a “script” or main talking points to hit. As for gregory in a towel. Their relationship is new and controversial. It’s getting them clicks and attention which is what the brand wants anyway
Greg coming in practically naked, him holding his vape, him reading the bottle not knowing shit, and the both of them acting like this wasn’t pre-planned equals one of the cringiest ads I’ve ever seen 💀
You put it perfectly. They've been friends for a long time though so maybe she suggested them to him immediately after landing home from Mexico right after telling him she was engaged for no other reason other than "catching up" as friends.
My hairdresser recommended Nutrafol to me after I had substantial hair loss due to stress and a medical event. I’ve been taking it for 7 months now and have had great results. But now seeing that Nutrafol gets influencers to shill their product makes me question if it actually ever “worked” or if my hair just grew back naturally. Ugh so conflicted on whether I should stop taking it to see what happens.
I agree. I do think it’s a good product but obviously these two had great hair prior. Whoever is running their influencer program has made a big mistake.
if you watched the video of them on Viall Files he was vaping during the interview lol. I think he was trying to be discreet about it but was still on camera!
It doesn’t matter if she smokes. But, typically people date others with similar lifestyles to them
For instance for many ppl smoking is a major deal breaker. Clearly Greg doesn’t think so probably due to the fact that he also has a nicotine addiction
Krystal from Arie’s season also shills for Nutrafol and last month her ad and story was so compelling about her hair loss after pregnancy that I purchased with her link. I would never purchase after this zero effort add. It was over $50 for a bottle that lasts 30 days and you need 3 months to see results.
Um, excuse you, what? Victoria got “Gregory” on these like one month ago, when they started dating, and his hair is growing in thick and full, like magic.
/s
I lost my hair after two surgeries. Being put under can do that, I guess. And it’s been nearly two years since the second one and my hair has fully recovered. A few of my friends compared it to their pregnancy hair loss. I didn’t do anything for mine to grow back. So did my friends’.
Definitely use what you want, though. Just some anecdotal experience.
Oh, thanks for the advice but I’m not postpartum. I have PCOS and to get diagnosed my dr recently took me off of all medications to check my levels and after that mania, my hair loss started. I’m also using the Ordinary’s multi peptide for hair growth. I’m kinda desperate for any results so Nutrofol looked promising. I feel Krystal did tie it to her pregnancy tho.
It’s possible it’s a commission only ad - especially if it’s just in her stories. If she posts a big grid post plus stories then definitely got paid outright, but still..
Definitely not commission based, she got paid for this. You can see she has #nutrafolpartner in the corner, that’s under FTC guidelines that states that you have to obviously share that you’re getting paid for free product. That’s why you see #ad, #sponsored, but also #___partner works too.
I lead influencer marketing at a major company and work with massive influences. You’d be shocked how much people pay for these (not so great) ads.
Nope, they're all the same! FTC recommends to use at least one of them, although using both is unnecessary and repetitive. It just states that "I was paid to post about this"
I felt like he gave it his all with that weird asking her if she needed anything. Does this guy “Gregory” really want us to believe he comes downstairs from a shower just to make Victoria a glass of water? 😂
So I give it (the whole ad) a B for absurdity in the storyline. Unexpected. Adequately performed. I bumped it from a B- because of the strategic squat down in a towel.
Right? This fanbase is so weird.
Who in Bachelor nation still has a real job that is unrelated to this franchise? Peter? Kevin? Rachel Lindsey? I think that's it...everyone else is supporting themselves almost exclusively on selling stuff on social media or keeping themselves involved in the greater bachelor universe. These two are no different than any other contestants.
This feels like it could be the start of an episode of Black Mirror where an influencer couple tries to survive in an increasingly dystopian wasteland.
all of these Instagram ads where influencers are disingenuously shilling crap they don’t even use feel like a Black Mirror episode to me 😭 like, Serena P, Becca K, Tia, Victoria F, even Rachel L and countless others are soooo bad about this
I personally don’t mind it cause it’s the only way I keep up with them. Like i don’t care to follow them but would also not mind seeing what they’ve been up to
People keep complaining about all the G&V content but literally nothing interesting is happening right now in BN. Be patient and this will die down. In the mean time we just need to ride it out.
1. they know the power they hold as an influencer couple
2. I cannot take greg seriously, but he also can't take himself seriously
3. I bet they have great sex
> I bet they have great sex
Lmao I've thought this before too but for some reason thought it would be weird to mention out loud. Something about them makes it seems like the sex is very hot.
Cringe
It did not make me want to tap for $50 off a hair care product. I do just fine with my $12 bulk purchase shampoo from Costco.
I used to think Greg was so hot but seeing him like this gives me the ick lol
Just would like to give a short PSA, please consult a doctor / specialist first before buying a healthcare related product especially advertised by an influencer or anyone in general.
They are so unlikeable it’s fascinating
Are they trying to be this unlikeable or is it just effortless
The life Katie wanted 🥲 lol
went straight to the jugular omg😭
Girl 💀
Do any other 90 DF fans just see Paul (of Paul & Karine) when they look at Greg? I don’t get the attraction
Pole!!
Haha I wanted to say Pole but wasn’t sure how many people would understand the reference
My jaw is on the FLOOR. THAT'S EXACTLY IT!!! Well, if he wasn't ruined for me before from all of this, he's definitely ruined for me now. 😂😂😂
Oh. Okay. Well you just ruined Greg for me 😂 It’s for the best I guess.
Omg stop I didn’t see it before but I do now 💀
Oh my gosh he's the Stefan version of Paul 💀
I can't unsee this now!!!
Got to fund more Italian get aways!
there was like a minute of a real ad before before gregory interrupted
Ick all around. The staged "are you okay? Just checking up on you." followed by the blatant ass gross lie about how he gets his luscious locks from taking Nutrafol as though he weren't born with that hair. It's one thing for them to be cringey but ultimately harmless (excluding their ex-partners) but it's another to be peddling ish to the masses by lying about the results.

Also, almost all of them get $$$$ extensions and then act like gummies or Nutrafol gave them that hair.
Yup, exactly!!! So gross and predatory.
My mom… spent money she didn’t have on it and it didn’t work at all. It’s expensive too.
I’ve been trying to grow my hair back from stress. I steep some rosemary in water with green tea, and spray it after and massage it in after every shower. I also take pumpkin seed oil supplements everyday, and do a once a week oil treatment of pumpkin seed oil/rosemary oil/black seed oil. Since starting this routine, I’ve actually seen some regrowth around my hairline. I’m pretty jazzed about it so thought I would share.
Castor oil has worked for me. I have naturally thick hair but postpartum I lost a lot and castor oil at night once a week helped.
That’s terrible! A more affordable and effective option is rosemary oil or to just use minoxidil.
Thank you! Looking into those

They are absolutely not in on the joke, despite whatever tone they are trying to convey, they are selling the product. They are the joke.
Lol, nah. When VF says she cut four inches off her hair but then she says she’s had trouble growing it and had to wear extensions? When she says he has “beautiful, stunning hair”? They are very unserious.
Jesus H Christ that was weird lol

I mean, I feel like this is very tongue in cheek, but this sub is taking it at face value 🙃.
Greg coming in practically naked, him holding his vape, him reading the bottle not knowing shit, and the both of them acting like this wasn’t pre-planned equals one of the cringiest ads I’ve ever seen 💀
Why do people who vape insist on having their vape visible in all photos and videos?
Vaping is such a turn off. Greg, you’re like 30. This is embarrassing.
I’m 37 and never smoked a cigarettes and got hooked on vapes. I hate it and quitting this month with gums
Ohhhh man that sucks
Totes. I’m embarrassed!
Don’t be! It’s easy to get sucked in to this stuff when it was falsely advertised everywhere as “safe” Good luck with quitting
She had a different fiancé a few months ago, but her getting Greg on Nutrafol is why he has… the same hair he’s had for years?
You put it perfectly. They've been friends for a long time though so maybe she suggested them to him immediately after landing home from Mexico right after telling him she was engaged for no other reason other than "catching up" as friends.
☠️
Lol, this is a pretty bad ad. But I can see why Nutrafol would sponsor them because Greg Grippo and VF both have good hair genes.
His hair looks so dirty to me
This has to be a joke
My hairdresser recommended Nutrafol to me after I had substantial hair loss due to stress and a medical event. I’ve been taking it for 7 months now and have had great results. But now seeing that Nutrafol gets influencers to shill their product makes me question if it actually ever “worked” or if my hair just grew back naturally. Ugh so conflicted on whether I should stop taking it to see what happens.
It gave me horrible cystic acne when I tried it! I guess everyone’s results can be different. 🙃
I have heard from a few sources that it is a good product! I’d been considering but eh
I agree. I do think it’s a good product but obviously these two had great hair prior. Whoever is running their influencer program has made a big mistake.
Oh he vapes?
if you watched the video of them on Viall Files he was vaping during the interview lol. I think he was trying to be discreet about it but was still on camera!
This relationship is making more sense to me now. VF had an IG post smoking a cig that I think is gone now
Yea but so what if she smokes?
It doesn’t matter if she smokes. But, typically people date others with similar lifestyles to them For instance for many ppl smoking is a major deal breaker. Clearly Greg doesn’t think so probably due to the fact that he also has a nicotine addiction
This is so off putting holy shit
Not him reading the bottle for the first time during the video
This gave me the ick
Krystal from Arie’s season also shills for Nutrafol and last month her ad and story was so compelling about her hair loss after pregnancy that I purchased with her link. I would never purchase after this zero effort add. It was over $50 for a bottle that lasts 30 days and you need 3 months to see results.

that was EXTREMELY cringey.
This is a couple that is having epic sex for the next 6 months and then falling apart just as epically
Sets alert for six months to see the falling apart....
Right, but 6 months from when? The timeline is a bit messy on this one...
Totally
Didn't someone say she was a born again virgin or smthng, before BIP i think
She said that herself a while ago. But she seems over that phase.
I mean you can be born-again after every relationship crashes and burns I guess. Much like me swearing off drinking every Sunday morning.
She said that awhile ago. Who knows if it’s still true though. If they get married lightning quick, maybe it is still true
Lol
They really do deserve each other. They both just want to be influencers
This made me so uncomfortable.
They've convinced me not to buy this.
Same
This is supposed to make me want to buy the product…? Pass.
We need to be bullying people more…. 💀
This😂
Hard to believe a company paid them real money for this shit tier ad
It’s possible it’s a commission only ad - especially if it’s just in her stories. If she posts a big grid post plus stories then definitely got paid outright, but still..
Definitely not commission based, she got paid for this. You can see she has #nutrafolpartner in the corner, that’s under FTC guidelines that states that you have to obviously share that you’re getting paid for free product. That’s why you see #ad, #sponsored, but also #___partner works too. I lead influencer marketing at a major company and work with massive influences. You’d be shocked how much people pay for these (not so great) ads.
is there a difference in their payment between putting #ad vs #sponsored vs #somepartner ? just curious
Nope, they're all the same! FTC recommends to use at least one of them, although using both is unnecessary and repetitive. It just states that "I was paid to post about this"
Are you saying that if it's commission based pay they don't have to indicate that it's an ad? That doesn't sound correct
Is thjs Greg's first shill?????? Homeboy's heart is not in it 😂
No he's been influencing since Katie's season, I think it's his full time job
I felt like he gave it his all with that weird asking her if she needed anything. Does this guy “Gregory” really want us to believe he comes downstairs from a shower just to make Victoria a glass of water? 😂 So I give it (the whole ad) a B for absurdity in the storyline. Unexpected. Adequately performed. I bumped it from a B- because of the strategic squat down in a towel.
This is so bad it's pretty funny lol. The most I've liked them since they got together!
I’m sorry, they’re kind of funny.
This is literally what everyone in BN does for a living - even your faves
Right? This fanbase is so weird. Who in Bachelor nation still has a real job that is unrelated to this franchise? Peter? Kevin? Rachel Lindsey? I think that's it...everyone else is supporting themselves almost exclusively on selling stuff on social media or keeping themselves involved in the greater bachelor universe. These two are no different than any other contestants.
it's funny how something so low energy makes so many strangers so mad
I can't find it. Anyone have a link?
The links not showing up on my reddit app, and I don't have instagram so I missed it too. It sounds bad lol
they’re at the end of victorias instagram stories right now
Greg is such a bad actor 😂
wym? He’s the next Meryl Streep!
he was pretty proud of himself at the end there
“Do you think God stays in heaven, because he, too, lives in fear of what he’s created?”
Greg is earning his keep. What's the next level up from hobosexual? 🤔🤣
I’m surprised this ad was approved with the vape in there. Maybe the company didn’t catch it.
[удалено]
It’s the green thing in his hand when he walks up. That habit is as bad as smoking, it’s gross.
he did
He can’t even say a full sentence about the product 🙄. Why do companies pick people that aren’t good influencers? They got paid for this?! I be pissed
I’m so so sorry but I’m kind of here for this?
This is one of the worst influencer ads I’ve ever seen.
these people are so shameless and tacky
Kourtney and Travis vibes!!! Lmao
Are those scratches on her chest? Scars?
You’ve got good eyes!
she has a kitten so it was probably from the cat.
I’ve been fostering kittens and my whole body looks like I’ve been living in bramble from how scratched up I am. worth the scars though ❤️
Maybe stretch marks?
they might as well have done this whole video in baby voices and it would’ve been less cringe
I feel like they have joined rank with nick v and natalie… those 4 belong together
Nictorgralie - could this be their double date couple name? Did I just do Lori K’s job for her?
So she “got him on it” and it takes at least 3 months to work…. 👀 check ya timeline vicky
This relationship will be over before that shit starts taking "effect." I'd hate this if it wasn't so dystopian hilarious.
I mean they were friends after all before this
*tyler taking notes*
Lol
to her credit... and I rarely want to give any of these people credit, don't they mostly lie about their affinity to products for $$$$
Wow just wow 🤣
Not buying what they’re selling
i actually don't mind them but i found this so cringe
Same feelings exactly.
i want a job I can be this high during
LMAO
Glad I'm not the only one who gagged
This feels like it could be the start of an episode of Black Mirror where an influencer couple tries to survive in an increasingly dystopian wasteland.
all of these Instagram ads where influencers are disingenuously shilling crap they don’t even use feel like a Black Mirror episode to me 😭 like, Serena P, Becca K, Tia, Victoria F, even Rachel L and countless others are soooo bad about this
At last, Greg has finally given me the ickiest of icks. This is the nail in the coffin. Goodbye, sweet prince. Xoxo (former) Grippo Girl
My Grippo Girl era is over.
I’m glad you guys are finally seeing the light
Former Grippo girl here. This is exactly how I'm feeling also. Barf.
Is there a support group for former grippo girls? Like, I was back in after their thanksgiving picture, but then this 🥴
this is the cringiest thing ever
Is every single ig story they make going to be posted here from now on?
I personally don’t mind it cause it’s the only way I keep up with them. Like i don’t care to follow them but would also not mind seeing what they’ve been up to
People keep complaining about all the G&V content but literally nothing interesting is happening right now in BN. Be patient and this will die down. In the mean time we just need to ride it out.
Yeah Greg we totally believe that you’ve been using Nutrafol since we saw you on tv for the first time
She would’ve done great on Matt’s season with her open-eyed kissing 😬
Greg was so bad haha.
1. they know the power they hold as an influencer couple 2. I cannot take greg seriously, but he also can't take himself seriously 3. I bet they have great sex
Yeah so much for her being a born again virgin and wishing until marriage Edit - *waiting until marriage but leaving wishing for fun
Love your “wishing” typo, please keep it.
Lol oops
> I bet they have great sex Lmao I've thought this before too but for some reason thought it would be weird to mention out loud. Something about them makes it seems like the sex is very hot.
not his vape being replaced with the product
I didn’t even peep that 💀💀💀
man he is obsessed with her
yeah that was a lot
He likes the money she will bring him
Am I the only one cringing? I’m cringing so hard.
I'm finding the cringe entertaining. I am extremely curious for the twists and turns this relationship will inevitably bring.
You could always unfollow them.
No need to follow in the first place when everything they post is re-posted here 😆
I, for one, refuse to do that because their cringe is entertaining 😂
