I remember Ed being criticized for the same thing with Jillian.  He said   something like.."why do I need to tweet her when she is in the next room, or I can just pick up the phone."  Haha Ed!

This has always bothered me.

This point keeps getting brought up so I'm genuinely curious, who in Kait's real life (not fake ex boyfriend life) publicly supports Kaitlyn in that manner- re tweeting articles she's not a $lut, etc.? I haven't seen her sister, best friends or anyone else do it. So who does it and what is expected of Shawn?

Alanna wrote:One thing that gives me hope/confidence that Kait and Shawn have a good chance is that they handle their issues, albeit majorly self-created ones, pretty well and they recognize when they're not being the Kait and Shawn they'd like to be and know they can be. Just judging by how she talks about Shawn post-show, I imagine she's going to gush about how supportive he's been and how well they communicate too.

I find their relationship totally fascinating because this is so different from what I think Kait is normally like in her relationships. She seems to be used to being totally carefree, fun, easy going, happy, and when she needs some male validation, she seeks it fairly easily like asking Nick to promise his love or even talking with Nick pre show when she was insecure. It's different with Shawn though, their dynamic forces her to be genuinely open and vulnerable imo, and forces her to be serious for once. I love how she told him he's either in or out with this process when he was whining in Dublin and then totally stared him down to prove her point.

I'm really curious/excited to see their final dates and then their dynamic post show.

I don't understand why the expectation is that support Shawn gives to Kaitlyn has to be public. She is standing up for herself & he doesn't necessarily have to piggyback on it. He would certainly need to provide private personal support, which I'm sure he is. Her family/friends are staying off the public platform & my guess is they are extremely supportive as well.

Ben, Nick & whomever else from this season will support via SM because that's their only outlet to do so. Not all support has to come in the same form.
