I don't think Kaitlyn wanted to talk about it at all on camera but they asked and she answered. She clearly wasn't ashamed but worried about Shawn. If she had sex with Nick again it's no different from a lot of previous leads. I don't get it myself if you're sure but maybe she wasn't?

I think it's much easier to manipulate people who do have strong feelings for each other because emotions are involved and sometimes that takes over the analytical side of us. It's got to be that much worse in the bubble. We can watch and say they should have done this or shouldn't have done that but we really don't have a clue what it's really like. Obviously they have free will but for me neither Kaitlyn or Shawn have done anything that bad. Nick seems to have lucked out with his edit this season in comparison.

Kaitlyn having sex has never bothered me. It's the emphasis on it by the edit that I find annoying. I know they're all about the drama but they sure don't know or care about their audience. All JMO.

I think if K hadn't slept with Nick we would of had a whole different show.

Good post and IA, albean. K having sex has never bothered me either. What will bother me is if/when she lets Nick get down on his knees to propose. That's a choice, not an edit.

Just throwing this out there. What are the chances Kaitlyn will do DWTS as ABC will be showing another season? I wondered this when there were a good number of 'dancing' opportunities incorporated into her season and given that is also part of her background.

by Alanna Fri Jul 24, 2015 4:43 pm

Oh man, I hope not!! I want her to go away to Nashville and just happily do whatever the other famehos in this franchise do with Shawn. She doesn't handle criticism well and Shawn does not tolerate sharing her extensively, can't imagine how this show would go for her/them. Please no.

by SueSt Fri Jul 24, 2015 4:46 pm

I wonder what Shawn CAN tolerate. Sooooooooooo glad I'm not in a relationship where I'm the one that's afraid to find out what the limits are. no no

It's not a healthy way to live.

I don't think any of the SOs like it, esp so soon after the show ends. I'm remembering Sean blogged something similar about Catherine? And I don't think she's accused of being scary and intimidating.

^^In Sean's book he says how hard DWTS is and that it puts a huge strain on a relationship- especially such a new one when you really don't know one another all that well. The paycheck was terrific. The strain was barely worth it though. And that from someone who was really committed to making the relationship work (as was Catherine- or it wouldn't have worked out at all). So DWTS should be "out"- especially not as a couple.

Ummm…Kaitlyn's a dancer, without a job, so if she is asked to to DWTS I think she will 100% do it. JMO.

Agreed I think if she is offered she not only would but should do it.
