The Bachelorette Season 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - #2

Former Bachelorettes are not happy about Monday night's Bachelorette shocker.

Host Chris Harrison revealed on the air that the next season of The Bachelorette will involve not one but two ladies – Britt Nilsson and Kaitlyn Bristowe will both be vying for the attention of 25 men competing for them.

"We actually decided not to decide: For the first time in Bachelorette history, we're gonna have two Bachelorettes," Harrison said. "The 25 men on Night 1 are going to have the ultimate say about who they think would make the best wife."

Needless to say, the Internet is not especially thrilled with this decision, which is being viewed as a bit of slap in the face to feminism – and former Bachelorettes are leading the charge.

Not going to lie.. I'm a bit confused by 2 bachelorettes. Put girls against each other!? Don't we already get enough of that. #TeamKaitlyn

The more I think about it, I can't help but be upset about ABC choosing 2 #Bachelorettes. It's going to be so hurtful to both the girls.

I'm just going to be politically incorrect and mean no offense by this but I'm #TeamKaitlyn

Meanwhile, Catherine Giudici, who appeared on season 17 of The Bachelor and married Sean Lowe, echoed Kaitlyn's sentiments about the arrangement not being ideal. "THANK YOU KAITLYN! Not ideal," shewrote, adding: "Excuse me while I shake my head all night."

These leads now have a fan base and with social media, I don't think this is going to go over very well with viewers. The audience reaction should be a good indication to them - people wanted Kaitlyn. Britt will be chosen by the guys because that's what will appeal to them. She really is just all hair. Kaitlyn would be much more fun to watch. This may be the first since season 1 that I don't watch.

Probably going against the odds, but until we know, I will hold out hope the guys they cast have a few brain cells, can see past Britt's pretty face to the very fake person behind it, and choose Kaitlyn.

I also have zero interest in watching Britt, I'll sit this season out.

To borrow a quote, I would rather eat dirt and wash it down with a bag of hair, than see a fake "choice" episode that keeps Britt over Kaitlyn, and Britt's reaction to "winning" the Bacelorette title.  I wish Kaitlyn could just say no thanks and get out of this.

So not cool, TPTB.

I think their mistake was they could have edited Britt better. Its now obvious they want her they could have done a better job.
