I'm a fan because his first words to her out of the limo let her know someone thought she was beautiful and  hoped she'd be the Bette. My heart went out to Kait having to compete against Britt and it was obvious she was very insecure about it...who wouldn't be?  Shawn gave her the confidence to go on and for that I really like him. The rest of this is just TPTB induced nonsense IMHO.

To be fair, Ian did the same thing (right out of the limo, he whispered "I'm here for you only") and we all saw what THAT turned out like.

Honestly, I do think that there is something very likeable about Shawn. Even when he's doing all these jerk-y things (like calling Nick a master manipulator even though he's never had a convo with him), I actually do believe that he really likes Kaitlyn and he's a sincere person. He's flawed, but so is Kaitlyn!

I agree cp the situation absolutely sucked for nick and it showed how not into him emotionally she was at that point IMHO if she was into him really she'd want to reassure him cos she'd be nervous he'd question his feelings for her if she went straight questioning if he told on her. You could see it on Nick's face...I think just like that time Joe mentioned K was in shawn's room -- when K was questioning if he told on her the fact that she prioritized that -- communicated a lot to him. Nick is a very sharp guy at least imho and would be one to pick that up...I think his getting emotional is a reaction to the fact 1. her speech 2. that K was more concerned about asking if he told on her than "catching up with him after a great date" - it showed him she wasn't really "there" and he realized that HE still had to keep falling for her in spite of that if he had any hope of this working for them.... I totally think that's what he was communicating to her... he's much more eyes wide open this season -- and I think his pervious season has helped him understand what to look out for this round...

On the other hand -- I am getting the sense that K actually has the instincts which are telling her that the bits about shawn's reaction should make her question whether they could get through anything...

IMHO shawn is sooo concerned about himself and his feelings about her and not enough about her experience -- he's not making much of an effort to empathize with her just overtly concerned with his own feelings -- that's a big cause for concern imho

i havent watched and theres too many cliffhangers- who got eliminated? jj, tanner, and ben z?

Shawn is likeable, but too intense. If Shawn gets a pass for being manipulated by TPTB, then so should Nick, Ian, Kupah, and everyone else that's been on this show.

Are you telling him to run from Kaitlyn, like I was?

I reallly don't think K is a match for him -- similar to N there's a contemplative side of Ben which I don't know if K complements or prefers to connect with... jmho

tho to be completely honest I respected that K started to question shawn's approach to her and their interactions.

Jared is getting friendzoned during that roadtrip imho but he's just beautiful sweet jared!!

I love her ring she is wearing on the date with Chris, the one that crosses.

Was there a crying clause in the guy's contract this year?

reason wrote:I have heard Kaitlyn said a relationship went too fast I believe it is the relationship that she is in.  It will burn out in time if not handle carefully.  The relationship with NICK is the slow burn and it will be gone by the time she realize it.  Just like SWSNBN realize it too late per CH

saw many of you refer Kaitlyn as SWSNBN
may i ask, what does that mean?

I think they are referring to last season's bette and the acronym stands for "someone who shall not be named"

it is always up to the contestants how to deal with the producers manipulations.
If Kait had been sneaking to see shawn off camera during filming, I guess he has more validation than most of the F1s.
And if he let the producers got into his ear this easy, regardless how Kait is all smitten, then he is mentally weak that I dont think a woman can spend her life with.
