Erica rose was making a joke about how they go through REALY extensive STD testing and that if anyone chooses to 'get with' a former contestant in the bachette/bach that they're safe

In Andi's season, he regarded "making love " in FS is "fiance stuff". He and Kaitlyn had talked all the time before he came on the show (IF RS was right), he probably thought he knew her better than Andi but both acted the same way, sort of, well, IF I were him, I would be mad as well!
I am guessing Nick proposed.

Honestly, I love Nick, but if Nick was mad about that...it's on Nick. Kaitlyn doesn't pretend to be anything she's not. She said on the JK date that it's "assumed" that you have sex on the FS date. Even on the Ryan Seacrest radio show, she very quickly admitted to getting naked with Chris Soules, sending naked pictures to a non-boyfriend, and having sex with a guy on a first date. If I know all that about Kaitlyn after listening to 1 interview with her, then I'm sure Nick would know that after spending ALL that time with her. It's possible that she could have been deceitful about that, but she doesn't strike me as the type. Also, pretty much every single Bachelor/ette has had sex with multiple people. The only ones that really haven't are the ones that didn't get the option to (Des, Ali) because their true F1/F2 left or Sean, the born again virgin. It would suck if Nick got his heart broken again so publicly, but I don't think he's naive anymore about what happens in the FS.

How about mad as hell  

I would be mad as hell if I were Nick Ben or Shawn and chose not to have casual sex in the FS.

They are not allowed to have contact with anyone from the show until the episode when that person was eliminated has aired. IMO in the case of the lead, that clause would be interpreted as no contact until the final episode has aired.

I would think that Kaitlyn is obligated to the producers of the show (per her contract) for at least a year or more.  So, if she leaves as a single woman, then I would think that she would have to maintain that status afterwards for a period of time, unless she meets and begins dating someone out in the real world, excluding any and all of the men from her season.

From the above clause I think Kaitlin would be free to see or date anyone she wanted to AFTER the final episode has aired.

emusha wrote:wanted to ask if anyone knows - someone posted that K is obligated to maintain her relationship status of being single for a specific amount of time AND that she cannot "dip back in the pool" so to say i.e. start dating one of the guys from her season without consent and sharing information with tptb ...anyone know about the obligations around relationships post show..i know when there's a couple they have restrictions around when they can break up and that they have to let tptb know first etc... anyone know beyond that?

I'm sure that the show doesn't want a couple to break up immediately but the reality is sort of all over the map. Sometimes a couple has broken up before the show started to air, sometimes during airing but before the finale, sometimes a couple of weeks to a couple of months later. I don't think there's a time limit that's contractual - if there was a contractual time frame there probably wouldn't be so much variation in breakup time frame.

"It’s pretty darn close," Harrison told HuffPost. "If you are a student of the game, there is a full Mesnick. That’s how dramatic this season is ... there is a full Mesnick."*

I mean, you never know, but I didn't feel like she was doing this just to promote herself, but that she was at least open to the possibility of finding love, if it happened. And if the spoiler is right, it looks like it just didn't happen, which makes me sad for her (although she's young resilient--I'm sure she'll be fine).

My guess is that producers knew early on that she wasn't quite feeling it for anyone on the show and brought Nick on as a hail mary, maybe after asking her if anyone in the franchise had caught her eye, just hoping to get the ending they wanted. But for whatever reason it didn't work out with him either. If that's how it went, I can respect her for not getting engaged just for show, or for getting so caught up in the fantasy of it that she got swept away. Anyway, I'll still watch and see how it plays out.

TPTB are playing around with SM, we had slim to no information from Ireland, the HTD, MTP and FRC if we believe RS were all done undercover.  With all that going on, RS, with his less than journalistic style is gonna be the one to find the truth?  IDK.
I say keep sleuthing.
