The Bachelorette 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - Britt Nilsson - Premier May 18-19 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

That is a very good point re: she is secure with herself! ^^ though not sure if I know who all you mean that she let go who voted for her

Ben Z, Corey Stansell, whoever else. It's just interesting that one of the top guys voted the other way and outlasted some that did vote for her. It shows she is more concerned with the connections she has made with them and not some petty vote IMO.

  I agree. 
Some of the guys may not have even watched Chris' season so they would be going off of looks and a quick convo. No reason why not to give someone more time if that's the case.  
Letting guys go who did vote her isn't much different than someone asking someone else on a date in RL.  The initial interest is there but it only takes an hour to figure out someone can be nice as can be but there is no romantic interest on her part. That's just normal.

She is and I hope she stays that way throughout despite how hard TPTB will try to break her spirit and confidence.  Like they already had to make her compete night one to get the gig and then will probably have PIs with guys for weeks who voted Britt about how they weren't sure if they wanted to be there once it's her. Makes me cringe that they'd do this to her, but hopefully also made her realize from the start the producers aren't her friend, don't have her back and to trust no one.  That may help her navigate this thing better.

  The vote thing is demeaning IMO because the two girls are there and pressured to make a first impression instead of the guys trying to make a first impression on 1 Bette.  Britt will be the "unwanted" one.  So glad Brady made a bold move. No one should be made to feel like 25 guys have a right to judge you all in one night. It's not the same as viewers choosing who they want as the next Bette.  This is up close and personal.

Agree notarose, demeaning is the right word for it.  Even though I'm glad Kaitlyn will be a regular Bachelorette and we get to watch her season afterwards, it starts on such a downer. I'm not even excited to watch the meet and greet. Seems like it will be so awkward. Looking forward to the next week.

I do think K might struggle with the question of if she was their first choice -- in the back of her mind

We do? Do we have a s/cap of him putting a rose in Britt's box?

  It was the screen shots I posted on the first page of this thread -- you asked about where I got them...

relaxing -- great point about K going into the show knowing tptb aren't on her side... that is such an important point and I hope she doesn't believe what they tell her etc. but makes her own decisions and moves. I have a feeling the powerfigures like MF and millsy have a diff role in misleading a lead at first vs. the handlers who might have a weakness for the lead/contestant i.e. megan for Kaitlyn and elan for nick...we shall see how things play out but I do think there's a chance megan got close enough with K that she'd help her out etc. 
I think it really matters when some of the staff is on your side vs. when they don't really like you and you're entitled - K seems to be the likable kind so I hope things work out in her favor somewhat

I was trying to figure out who said "I voted for Britt" in the Yahoo preview- It was Justin. So he voted for Britt.

Shawn is a no for me.

He has a strangely shaped head. But I love Kaitlyn and if she's keeping him I will give him the benefit of the doubt.  He should be easy to ID in screen caps because of the way his skull juts out right above his eyebrows.
