Bachelor 19 - Kaitlyn Bristowe

chasingpavements wrote:Kaitlyn reminds me a lot of Jillian, both in her personality and her relationship with the lead. Even Jason and Molly mentioned that in their podcast. For that reason, I could see her as the Bachelorette. I felt like Jillian was mostly there to have fun and drink, but just ended up falling in love. I don't know if I personally would want her, because although she's fun in small doses, I think her whole shtick could get annoying if she was the lead. She does seem to be getting a better fan reaction than Britt, so I don't think it's 100% going to be Britt, like RS keeps saying.

I agree with the bolded. She is okay but I would rather see someone else as the lead. And not Britt either. Kaitlyn is too "rough around the edges" IMO to hold the lead. She might be more realistic and normal but not who would make good TV for the masses who want to see a love story

Yes, but could you imagine her talking about the men in her ITMs? ITMs might quickly become TMIs!

Too bad the whole show can't just be her ITM's then it might be worth watching!

Kaitlyn would be perfect for BIP though.

Ashley is my all time favorite, but Jillian and Meredith are my co #2s. While I have grown to love Chris and Des her seaon would only be #4 for me.

So I guess I would much rather a Kaitlyn than Britt. I think Carly would be my number one choice though. After all the Andi drama I want to laugh at the bachelorette this summer, not want to scream at the lead the whole time.

Carly is turning out to be adorable.

PEEEERFECT for it... her ITM's this season have probably been my favourite part, just imagine the potential with the craziness/ridiculousness BIP brings

Awesome Maddy! Thanks for the clips. She is hilarious.

 This woman is hilarious!

Call me crazy but I think she is a dark horse.  Her humor matches Chris' and she knows exactly what small town life is about because she comes from one.  Remember when Chris told Whitney he wants someone that can engage strangers?  Well, Kaitlyn wasn't in the least star struck by Jimmy Kimmel.  She was just shooting the sh*t with him like he was just some guy Chris knew (no hint at all that Jimmy's fame mattered). I got the impression that Jimmy was genuinely impressed.
 Also, Chris said that camping is his fav thing and she was given the camping group rose.

I am still not convinced they have a romantic connection however did go back and view their "hot tub" scene kisses.  There were some sweet tender little kisses I didn't notice the first time. 

IMO Kaitlyn is far more complex than most people who appear on the show.  She also seems very authentic - warts & all.  She would be a polarizing choice since she doesn't fit the traditional mold of "wife material" in any way but every personality type becomes a wife.
