The Bachelorette 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - General Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

So I posted something like this in response in the wrong thread... I believe each season is staged (in one form or the other) and that's why some ends don't meet in this spoiler.
I know someone who would be very happy to prove this year is a foiler season.
I'm enjoying way too much with it ... so I'll be silent and observe.
And keep track with Nick.

Welcome SarahValley

I really going back and forth on RS spoiler. I think he's more likely right than wrong and his track records prove it. However, if TPTB flew families in to a secluded area for fear of SM clues, why would RS find out about the top secret ending?
I think I need to stay away from this board for a bit (but I will be back!!)

Thanks!

Well, it could even be a purposeful slip from the inside, "Hey, Shawn and Nick + families have been seen filming..."

Another possibility is Nick being the f1 and they are just having fun pretending he got dumped yet again.

The only part I have a hard time with is if she was facetiming Nick as much as RS says they were pre-show then she knew enough about him at that point to see if she was interested or not. She knew waaaaaaaaaaaay more about him than any of the other guys even if he entered mid season. So my issue is why bring him all the way to F2 if you know it isn't him... I am thinking TPTB made her.

Great point it seems the outcome of Nick ending in the F2 was staged if the spoiler is correct. I know TPTB would love for Nick to relive his being heartbroken again, totally messed up if all this is true. I am not blaming TPTB because at the end of the day it was Nick's choice to show up; just wish TPTB would cut Nick a slack.

I think Kaitlyn wasn't feeling it with the the guys and the producers brought Nick on given the two were already communicating. I find it weird that Kaitlyn was into Nick via the pics RS posted but decided that she doesn't want to date him after the show.

If the spoilers are true I guess the producers didn't pick a good group of guys for her or maybe she wasn't ready to fall back in love.

Yeah, I believe the spoiler. I think it explains the difference in filming schedule etc I just hope for kaitlyns sake they don't throw her under the bus a la juan pablo.

If this is the case (keep in mind I am speculating and usually wrong ) then I am very much looking forward to this season.

I am weird I hate purely "happy" endings, I love realistic ones.

My thoughts are Shawn was early frontrunner and she wasn't really into any of the other guys. Bring Nick in who they know she is definitely interested in. She lets Nick stay meaning that she was not sold on Shawn (otherwise she likely would not have let Nick on in attempt to not piss Shawn off).

Based on this it was a Shawn vs. Nick show. I personally think there is a possibility with the pre-show connection Nick was her F1 until something happened where she realized that they wouldn't work post-show and she brought him to the end thinking it was him until it wasn't.

The more, the merrier! I think people (me included) have to congratulate RS for spoiling the season without really spoiling it. I appreciate that he took time to verify all of his sources who told him the same. That Kaitlyn walks away from it all.
(From a fortune ring, from a guy "for more than just one-night", from the reputation of being a serious contender for having a relationship - since the spoiler and the preview predict Kaitlyn being portrayed only as a fun loving girl - and from making Bette's history of the most successful season - which could only bring thunder from TPTB)
What a feminist move! (That's the trending topic of this last year, so kudos to TB for bringing it to light.) ... It would be almost disappointing if it turns out it isn't the exact truth... but I say, almost, not quite.

One thing is for sure - these spoilers are way more scarce with information as opposed to other seasons. If there was ever a possibility of RS being wrong, this one is probably most likely. He has so many details usually! But this time, he seems a bit unsure. They also changed the formula dramatically... no final 4, 2 hometown dates, rose ceremony in LA. Who knows what the ending is? It just might not be what we can even imagine.

I think this season will be exciting and new and we shouldn't just believe RS says quite yet. Just because it's... unprecedented in many ways.

Well Mike Fleiss seems happy with the season according to his last two tweets:

"Ok, fine. EVEN better than last season!"

"Tonight!!! And it's a really great show! Much better than last season of the Bachelorette."

If RS spoilers are right

Then there will be no safe house visits for Kaitlyn.

I guess Britt will be having those visits.

It is all so anti-climactic. I wonder if this becomes public knowledge if the rating will plummet?

What is interesting to me, is the amount of misinformation being thrown out this season.  Spoilers were proven not to be true. So what is real and what isn't at this point, specifically with RS. 
I came away thinking they left Ireland with only 3 remaining and that was true. I came away thinking the F3-1 was Ben, Shawn, Nick and that appears true, if RS is right. So now we can see if the bottom line with RS is right via scs and other yet to be info--or more misinformation. 
What is definitely true, is the ratings each subsequent season for 'Ette have been less than the season prior. If RS spoiler is correct, what will this mean regarding prospective ratings? 
Continue to sleuth. Worst case scenario is the one we have and that isn't really so bad.
