Kaitlyn Bristowe - Shawn Booth - Bachelorette 11 - *Spoilers - Sleuthing* - Discussion

I don't quite understand the constant need to snapchat and periscope. Personally, Twitter and Instagram are enough. It's like information and sensory overload otherwise. Then again, I might be the only 25 year old who has rebeled against snapchat and refuses to get it.

Not the only 25 y/o!

I honestly don't understand our generation's need to share every single moment of their lives with strangers. I wish people could just enjoy their lives and not worry about capturing every single cute/witty/funny/interesting thing that they do. I realize that I sound like I'm 80.

CP and umn, there are actually lots like you, but most are not the people you see on this ridiculous show. CP you said you were a medical student, most I know are too busy to do all the SM crap and have been taught it can actually cost them residencies or future jobs. I think those who are the worst with this are those who have nothing better to do with their lives. JMO

Spending so much time trying to capture the moment, you actually end up missing living the moment. There was an article I read a few months ago discussing the fact that because pretty much everyone now owns a phone with a camera, they are so busy trying to take a picture of everything, that they don't actually see/appreciate what they seeing/doing at the moment when they are doing it.

IA. To truly "live in the moment" you have to be in it, not snapchatting/periscoping/instagramming/tweeting it.

Nick's smart and has a good job, and considering how highly Shawn thinks of Kait ("I wish you were smarter") he was probably scared she'd run off with the wealthy successful guy. I mean that's what women do, right? He was like a little dog yapping his head off at the big dog because he's scared.

I thought Nick told Kaitlyn when he came on the show he gave up everything including his job to come on, so what job does he currently have? Just curious, as i know he had one previously but just going based of off what Nick stated himself, and i am sure that the company he worked for has to be tired of him leaving a couple months a year to be on a show to fill his niche' ... i dunno  

Regarding the bold: Just want to put this to rest once and for all.

This is what is fact about Nick and his career/job as of this week:
https://twitter.com/bkoviak/status/625811130863083520

The Vice President of Sales/Technology at Salesforce tweeted Nick "#GoldStandard". This is the VP of Nick's company division, his BOSS, tweeting him "Gold Standard". Nick has the support of his company and his boss. He is telling Nick he is the goldstandard. So yes, Nick has a dream job and his bosses support. Speculation is all well and good, but facts are what matter and stand the test of time. Fact is, Nick is just gold - whether for ratings or for his company... still gold (his boss's words, not mine).

He would make history as the first guy to get dumped twice after making the final two and then become the bachelor. He would have a great backstory and the girls would feel bad for him and try get on the show.

Well apparently he told her all along to let him go as soon as she knows he's not the one. That could've been right when he showed up or a week later, in which case he surely would not have been in any consideration for the next lead. So either he was using reverse psychology on her or he simply was there for her. And I do think he felt really strongly for her, because in that interview with Ali he got a bit emotional when she asked how it was afterwards trying to get over it. He got emotional when thinking about the first few days after the proposal, so clearly there was hurt there.

Anyway, back to the "happy" couple. I so agree with you guys on the stupid amount of SM. No matter how much I may like someone, I don't wish to watch them ramble on about nonsense and act stupid all day. It's not cute at all. It reeks of self-absorption. There's a reason I watch The Bachelor and not BB 24/7. Editing is a good thing! It may be used as a weapon, but it's absolutely necessary.

I think Nick hides very well under the nice guy guise. I love how he wishes Kaitlyn and Shawn a happy life but before he does he felt compelled to let us know that she told him that she love him. She requested extra time with him. They were intimate. Don't let that bother you though K&S, he wishes you a happy life together. IMO he is full of sh*t.

In regards to Clint and JJ. No one notices the things that they say about K? JJ wrote on a IG/Twitter that he is one of the guys that did not puck her. What the hell. It seems a little unfair to K&S that this crap is not rationalized as one of the reasons they(K&S) are being snarky.

I'm trying not to diss him but I agree. I always feel like he says and does things like that- this girl isn't a $lut, but why is she really a $lut? I wish Shawn and Kait the best, but why is Kait a liar and a cheater? Oh well.

As for Kait downplaying their relationship, the most telling part of these interviews to me was that in the GMA interview, Shawn said he would have tossed it overhand. In the subsequent interviews, Kait has said, "we" would have tossed it overhand. That really says it all to me- she's "completely Shawn's" and that's the only team she's playing on. It's jmo but I think it's not only the right choice for her, but the only choice if she really thinks this relationship has a chance.

Anyway, I wish them all the best. They really don't need to interact with each other anymore, everyone is much more likeable in their correct order right now- Shawn with Kait, Kait with Shawn, and Nick looking for the right one for him imo.

Funniest part of Kait and Shawn saying they would have tossed overhand is that Nick did toss overhand.

These two must be too blind in "love"/lust to see what's in front of their eyes.

No, you aren't and personally(not that my opinion means chit) I applaud you and all the others for the decision.

UGH. Now we have to watch him on BIP. This is awful. JJ is gross...period. I have a feeling he won't be popular. ;)
