The Bachelorette 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - *NO SPOILERS* - FRC Ended - Now Contains Spoilers - Discussion

happygolucky wrote:Ben Z. - his face is lovely, he has big muscular body, that it's not my type, but whole - he is handsome and a really nice guy from what I've gathered - so yes, me too, in looks department he would be my winner.
Tanner - I like him too (if I can be really picky, maybe I find his nose a bit too narrow for my taste, so that's why he isn't 1st on the list), despite having different point of view on Nick in this episode, I understand his position and still see him as a good guy with values, at least I assume he holds high standards, from the way he spoke about last season.
Ben H. and Dr. Chris cupcake - they both are good looking men, sometimes the photos don't do them justice, so my impression changes - so far I've only watched 1st episode and partially this last one, so I haven't completely seen their personality and attitude, but I'm leaning more towards Ben H.
- I always associate the looks also with the attitude, how they carry themselves, so over time even the guy that I don't find attractive becomes handsome (Nick is one example)
I also think Tony, the healer, was very attractive, but I didn't really see much of him.

Shawn really summed up the whole season storyline for me: "Are you not satisfied with what you have here already?"  I'm not sure when the decision was made to bring Nick on, but Kaitlyn must have indicated very early on that she wasn't really thrilled with anyone.  As for the second sentence, all the drama that's being stirred up, not necessarily institgated by Kaitlyn - really it's TPTB call, is filler for "Hello.  I don't see any real connection with anyone".  Her 1-1 last night with Jared (IA, he is a cutie and seems really genuine) underscored that.  It seemed forced for Kaitlyn.  And, what an insult to him to air Kaitlyn's comment that while she was with him, she was just thinking of Nick. WTG producers.  I did love seeing the Temple of Dendur.  Have spent many hours there.  And, yay for helicopters!  

What's ironic is that while Kaitlyn seems to show little interest in any of the guys except Nick, she has a boat load of guys who have expressed in ITMs real interest in her - Jared, Shawn, Ian, Ben Z, Ben H, Chris and maybe even Tanner.  It seems like way more than seemed geniunely interested in former bachelorettes Andi, Des, Emily or Ashley.  The MOT guys I think are JJ, Joshua (I will be sad to see him go - he's adorable but not into Kaitlyn), Justin, Corey, Jonathan and that dude with the glasses I can never name.  Joe is curious to me.  I think he might be the best kisser and that's why Kaitlyn's keeping him.  Plus, the producers have to love his accent, so they probably said to string him along.

I did think Kaitlyn was cute on the Broadway date.  It's the first time I've really seen her comfortable in her skin.  She loves performing.  It's very obvious.  She was in love with the stage, just not poor Chris.  He's way more into her than she is into him.  And, that "Cupcake" label is getting silly.  He's sort of white bread but has a lot of potential for next Bachelor.  Good job, good looks, nice manners.

On looks alone, my F1 would be either Ben H or Joshua.  I know they look completely different -- but they are both super attractive to me.

What do you all think about Britt and Brady?  They seem cute, but maybe it's a showmance to compensate for the lack of romance with Kaitlyn.  

And, any thoughts about who gets the 1-1 on the next episode?  Maybe Ben H or Shawn?  I don't think they'll give Nick a 1-1 yet because they want to show his drama with the guys.  Anyway, I hope we'll see two 1-1s.  I'm pretty tired of the group dates, at this point.

sparkler wrote:This episode is mainly confusing. Kaitlyn is out with Jared but it's all about Nick. She is clearly saying that she is not interested in these guys by allowing Nick to come on. The guys know it too. What the heck???

Yep, I am not sure about Jared. I just don't find him to be that great. He's like a poor man's Brooks Forrester.

I know that she warmed to Jared AND she seems to like kissing him but her chemistry seems a bit off with him. He grew on me as the date went on but I personally am not ga-ga for Jared. I couldn't tell if she was upset about NIck therefore she could not give Jared the attention he deserved or if she was wishing that Nick was there so could not initially give Jared her full attention at start of date.

alwaystulips wrote:Oh, I didn't see the preview shot with Sean in the canoe, MVM.  Thanks for pointing that out!  He must have the 1-1 next week and I'm so glad they finally get some time together.  A 1-1 in week 5 is a big deal for Bachelorette.  The last three F1s (Josh, Chris S and 1F) all got week 5 first dates, so we'll see.  Yeah, I don't find his face attractive, but Sean has a sweet sense about him.  He seems so into Kaitlyn (they are always showing him hugging her on group dates) that I want to see how she reacts to him 1-1.   

Ian is great, and I can't wait for his discussion with Kaitlyn next week.  I hope they show a lot of that.  Along with Tanner, I think he's sort of the conscience of the show right now.  Doesn't bode well for Kaitlyn keeping either of them much further though.  She don't want no serious discussion y'all.  She's a fun lovin' gal.  

I don't watch BIP, so I hadn't thought of who might be on that.  Maybe Clint, JJ, Ben Z, Joe (he looks like he's up for the ride no matter what it is!) and Jared (sort of a Marcus type).  Oh, if Joshua goes on, I'm going to have to watch it!  Chris and Ben H seem too much next Bachelor material to do it.  

Forgot to say my favorite moment Monday night was Elevator guy.  I have a crush on him!
