The Bachelorette 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - Epi 7 Jun 29th - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

No kidding. I had to listen to Ben h preview twice to figure out when he was talking about. All of the RC/cocktail parties have been whacked up!

According to RS, Joe, Shawn, and Nick all go on a group date to the Killarney National Park and then Chris, Ben H, and Jared get the 1-on-1s. That seems to match up with what we've seen in promos (except for Ben H's 1-on-1, I don't remember any screen caps for that). The week after is the FS date, so I guess there is no other 1-on-1 for either Nick or Shawn.

That's pretty unusual, huh? For the two front-runners to only get one 1-on-1 each? I guess that there were two factors playing into that. One, they definitely wanted to get Shawn and Nick to be on a group date together before they were all separated; their drama seems to make Joe leave in anger. I also wonder if Kaitlyn wanted to tell the other guys 1-on-1 that she had sex with Nick (and possibly Shawn), which would probably be less awkward than just announcing it at a cocktail party. It could explain why Chris and Jared both seem to be crying in the promos.

It breaks my heart that sweet guys like Chris and Jared got so invested and didn't see the writing on the wall.

Wow, so Jared got 2 1on1 date, 1 SQT, and not even made to F3? Call me confused

Yes, it is odd given that Shawn was losing his mind about Jared getting the GDR (when obviously Shawn can't get ALL the roses he feels entitled to) and the next episode K is with Jared again. Probably just to make Shawn go crazy again because he really just doesn't get it. I mean, I get the bubble, but come on. Are people this clueless in 2015. Not the smartest tool in the shed, imo. At least Ben H seems to be smart enough to realize what's up.

I have been wondering if once he learns of all Kaitlyn's alone time without cameras with Shawn and Nick he decides he doesn't want to be there. Or if Shawn is too jealous of him, so Kaitlyn has to pick, Jared or Nick and producers had her pick Nick or she picked Nick. Who knows?

Yeah, I definitely feel like he was her original F3. Maybe he didn't take the Nick/Shawn news well and that's why he left? Or, maybe TPTB interfered because they wanted Ben H to be the next Bachelor?

It will be interesting to see if he is dumped or leaves on his own. It seems like Joe leaves on his own during the group date with Nick and Shawn and Chris is let go during the 1-on-1. I could see Jared getting the rose on the 1-on-1 date, but returning it after he finds out about Nick sex at the cocktail party.

^ I think it was as simple as Ben H being next bachelor so he got the F3 spot.
TPTB don't want a guy who is saying he is falling in love and seems so in the bubble like Jared is.
Ben H has only said he likes Kaitlyn and we see he confronts her about Shawn and her as well so he is already out of the bubble so to speak and ready to be lead.
Even Ben's SM is not focused on Kaitlyn at all.
It's Ben's to lose, imo.

They were totally wasted on this mess of a season.

RS said Jared was not doing well on BIP because he isn't over Kaitlyn. Makes me think he got the boot very unexpectedly. If he left because he was so upset about Kaitlyn and Nick sex I think he'd be about ready to move on from her.

Others have reported Jared came back from BIP just fine. Tomato/ketschup

Jared was obviously fine enough to sign on the dotted line again and go to BIP.
