I also loved JJ and Tanner repeatedly saying how obvious it was that she had a real connection with Nick. She looked sooo uncomfortable. I swear they did it just to annoy Shawn.

I loved how Tanner called her out on why she felt that it was okay to tell ONLY Shawn about the sex with Nick, when there were still 8 or 9 guys remaining at that time.  Kaitlyn said that it was because Shawn was obviously the one who was the most upset.  To which Tanner said "well, yes and no".  She basically just admitted to all of the other 8 or 9 (with the possible exception of TOG) that she considered them all to be just matter of time guys.  Plus, she was having to babysit Shawn and to put out a bunch of fires so that he wouldn't leave the show.

I do think that Tanner was someone who was able to cut through all of the bullcrap and could clearly see what was going on.  And that is why we were shown that scene of his conversation with Nick, the one with Tanner telling him how Shawn felt like he was the frontrunner who was clearly going to be the F1.  I bet that if truth be known, Tanner was not the only one who didn't take a liking to Shawn and his behavior.

The biggest surprise to me last night was how there was nothing - zilch - discussed about how much the Nick - Shawn rivalry derailed the whole season for all of the other guys.  With the exception of 2, maybe 3, guys on that stage last night, none of them were THAT invested emotionally in Kaitlyn.  Most of them couldn't even pretend to be, so it was easy for them to play nice.

Yeah, I feel like the guys HAD to know that Shawn was the frontrunner (hello, king bed) and they were too scared to speak out against him because Kaitlyn would probably have kicked them out the second the opened their mouth. Even Shawn's BFF, Ben, obviously had an issue with the preferential treatment that Shawn got, but knew that it was best for him to just make light of it.

Tanner was probably my favorite at MTA. He made so many good points and he never had to yell or speak over someone else to make them. I also love how uncomfortable he made Kaitlyn when he talked about what a great connection and she/Nick had (hehe).

Tanner is def Team Nick plus I don't believe he and Kait ever clicked, although I personally found him amusing.  So even though he makes good points about her connection with Nick, I think he also was enjoying watching K squirm as well.

Say what you want but @kaitlynbristowe has got to be the most forgiving Bachelorette of all time
