Shawn just tweeted a pic of him sitting on Ben's lap in Dublin with this caption I love his sense of humor. He's embarrassed but he's owning it, just like Kait.

I seriously need a reset button for this guy in my head -- this joke sounds way too dry that it borders on serious -- am I just not able to see it anymore??!! -- where the heck did the shawn who was sooo hilarious and warm and charming from night one go??

ETA: in any case with this show where there's smoke there's fire we'll see what happens in 6 months time

I think that he just needed an excuse to cut "the other guy" out of the photo...

He's joking that he couldn't share Ben, when the joke is that he was being crazy last ep over Kait. I guess I really don't understand what you don't understand?

To be fair, Shawn reposted a cropped pic that Ben H. had on his Insta already.

i believe everything Kaitlyn has done is to pacify Shawn from this week onward.  I can only believe that she is drawn to abusive relationships and does not value herself all that much.  In Cupcake's words, " She is messed up."

IMHO, Shawn was going to leave, because he believed he should be her focus.  The kind of jealousy he showed over the group rose is abnormal, no matter what the situation.  Shawn has control issues.  Kaitlyn fans his behavior by accepting responsibility for his bad behavior.  JMO, but I believe the format was changed through Kaitlyn's request or she was going to leave the show, rather than upset Shawn.  

She would need to distance herself from Nick in order to survive being with Shawn.  JMO, but I believe the rumors of Nick leaving were precipitated by her reveal to Shawn about the sex.  Shawn may have told her to get rid of him then, but I am sure the producers said no.  

I have seen abusive relationships up close and personal.  The "run, run fast" should have been about Shawn.  I am sure Shawn is crazy about her and very possessive; therein lies the problem.

Kaitlyn pretends to be a freebird, living in the moment.  All I see is an insecure girl who covers it with humor, tries to build relationships built on chemistry alone, and is floundering because her search for the meaning of life is whatever her current boyfriend approves as appropriate.

If Kaitlyn chooses to be with Shawn, then she must convince herself and Shawn that any verbal or physical exchange with Nick (or anyone else) had no meaning.  Shawn was never going to allow Jared to be in a FS.  Despite rumors, I am convinced that Kaitlyn had FS sex with one person only.  She was too frightened by then to do anything else.

That was honestly my guess too. I know that most people think that it's because Nick reached out to her, like he did with Andi, but I personally think that Nick learned his lesson and wouldn't do that.  I do think that he's moved on romantically, from what RS has alluded, and I feel like Kaitlyn's like "wait, he was hung up on Andi for months...he proposed to me and he got over me in like 3 weeks?". I'm sure that just led to her thinking that he never really liked her and just went on the show for exposure. I might totally be off, but that's just the vibe I got.

What did RS say about Nick moving on?

Like I said, he never said anything, just alluded to it in his spreecast. Someone asked him how Nick handled the rejection and he said "I heard he wasn't happy about it. I have heard he's moved on though. Nothing I can prove right now, but I've heard things". To me, that indicated romantically moving on, but I might be totally off. It just makes sense to me because Nick looks so happy and I honestly haven't seen Nick as into Kaitlyn as he was into Andi. We'll find out soon enough, I guess!

But I don't get the lack of acknowledgement of her other relationships. All bachelorettes have acknowledged their other relationships before, something must be different this time.

right her blog is not a typical lead blog -- this is the weirdest lead blog i've ever read. every single lead up to this point has been able to give a bit of info about other guy's traits and personalities etc. etc. and keep some element of mystery....this blog is written as if shawn would lose it if she said anything about anyone else

I really wonder if shawn is threatening things (remember that convo with the producer shawn trusts the most where he kept saying he's not sure if he can go through it etc...) and so starting from the  filming period shawn has been getting what he asked/pushed for including during the "you're the one" convo and now with these blogs. there's just simply something very weird going on that's not normal this season

We see shawn's temper next episode when he cusses out Nick....this is NOT a JP & Ashley cutsey jealousy episode -- the intensity of shawn's emotions i really don't think we've ever seen before
