I tend to think production wanted Britt, but knew Kaitlyn had the larger fan base and all of the previous leads and many of the former contestants were backing her completely, so simply, I think production knew it had to be Kaitlyn and was going to make it Kaitlyn regardless. By giving Britt another role, productions gets what they want too and it adds even more drama.

This sounds logical enough to me.

Eta - don't get me wrong it's not that I dislike Kaitlyn, I'm just pointing out that's she's no paragon of virtue. Britt has been painted as lower than low, when in reality there's more more reasons for Kaitlyn to not be bachette material

I don't think most people would expect anyone appearing on this show to be a paragon of virtue.

Just because people don't like Britt for her over the top fake behaviour, does not mean that they think that she is lower than low. She didn't kill anyone as far as I know. She doesn't torture children or animals. She is definitely not my cup of tea and I don't want to see her on my screen as the next Bette. Period. End of story.

I never for a moment thought Kaitlyn was serious about moving to Arlington or was that serious about Chris...but I though the same about Britt and pretty much everyone else other than Whitney. I can't get worked up about that any season or we'd never have a show any more. I guess why I prefer one to the other is that Kaitlyn seems to have more of a personality...a real personality vs. what I interpret is Britt's TV persona with lots of tears, make up and hair fixing. I never saw a sense of humour from Britt. Never heard anything witty or smart aleck come out of her mouth. What I did see however, is someone emoting for the cameras and trying to impose her importance over everyone else. I guess I prefer real imperfection over a fake paragon of virtue. JMO

THis is a great idea and this would only work if the guy she sends home originally voted for Britt.  I have no doubt some voted for britt.  ;)

No idea, maybe the guys that voted for Britt gets that 2nd chance. In a way, it is like 2 bachelorettes.

Maybe a twist would be like some game-style show ala BIP where eliminated guy comes in dates Britt and at the end of the show she picks who gets to stay.

I understand how it feels when your favorite isn't picked and you don't like the other option (I wasn't a Kaitlyn fan in the beginning). I was pissed last year when they chose Chris over Arie and strung him along for nothing. It couldn't have been easy for Britt to be rejected by multiple guys. That part sucks and I hated this two B'ette idea for that reason. I'm hoping she didn't take it too hard and didn't give TPTB a big scene they probably wanted from her. I'm glad they're still giving her a role this season to make up for it and I'm sure they'll make it up to her even more by giving her the whole season of BiP. No doubt she'll be the star on there and guys will be lining up for her. If she's still popular next year, which I'm sure she will be, she could have a shot again if there's no good options for the B'ette. Hugs again.

I hope that this is not the scenario. It just doesn't seem fair to Kaitlyn. If she is the Bette, then the season should be about her. If Britt does a bit of interviewing the guys and then make some recommendations to Kaitlyn or even picks one of the guys for a date like Chris' sisters did for him this season, then okay. Anything more would p*ss me off since it would be a continuation of the producers trying to shove her down my throat. It didn't work the first time and it is even less likely to work the second.
