Kaitlyn is from Canada, and from the Canadians I know, Canadians and danes (where I am from) are not all that different. From that perspective, I see nothing shocking or wrong with Kaitlyn's behaviour. Regarding her attitude on the show, what I see is a genuine person, who is head over heels for Shawn, but can't quite believe it, and at the same time she is taken back by the realness of how harsh it is to break the hearts of multiple guys, who seem to have really fallen for you, even though you're not just quite feeling it that way.

I will say...Canadians are much more in your face with the drinking than a lot of Americans. I'm "almost" Canadian (live way north in MN) and have to say that outside of the "roofie" joke....I haven't seen anything that I thought was out of line. The "roofie" joke is not funny in a "public" sense...but I can see it being something said amongst a group of friends and we'd all laugh about it. I'll cut her a little slack as I think she's trying to figure out her way in the relatively new limelight.

I must have a high tolerance for this type of behavior or something.

I don't think it's a matter of taking things seriously or not really. I don't take this show seriously either and everyone can do as they please as far as I'm concerned, but that doesn't stop me from finding it ridiculous (and not in a funny way). Yes, adults get drunk and act silly too, but I just don't get this need to document your stupidity for the whole world to see. I feel like I'm a totally different generation, when I'm actually their age. Something wrong with people these days...

I would bet that you actually have a job and responsibilities and thus don't have the time to post your every thought and pearl of wisdom on every brand of SM for the world to appreciate.

While I am of a different generation, I know plenty of people who fall in this age group. Like any group, there is a wide spectrum. Those who are serious about their job, families, etc. don't post a lot, while those that seem to be lost and are seeking attention, are posting constantly. It is like SM diarrhea.

I might have to disagree. I have many friends in the work place who are on SM a lot but it is not a refection on their work ethic, or how successful they are, or how "serious" they are about their families. JMO as always.

I noticed that Jillian liked Nick at the beginning, said she never had a problem with him, and defended him throughout the season. Then, in today's blog she was like "if Nick really is as manipulative as everybody says he is...". It feels like that change has come after hanging out with Kaitlyn so much, which makes me think that Kaitlyn/Nick are not on good terms right now.

Also, Abby Drapper, a blogger went to the MTA and she really seems to think that Kaitlyn is in love with Nick and he will win. I guess the finale preview must have really made it seem like Nick wins.

^^^^ Haha of course they did. Keep them guessing until the very, very end. Fleiss does not fool me.

Kait and Nick seem on okay terms to me. Not besties but I don't see too much sm weirdness either so things seem fine imo. As entertained as I find drama, I'm all about the happy couple at atfr.

What kind of blogger is Abby Drapper? Did she not see the snap chat or does she believe it was a setup? Interesting.

I noticed Jilly's change of attitude last episode after his tattle-tale Eskimo moment. And I'm glad she also noticed how he involves himself in drama and then weasels his way out of it (like his very timely tweet last night, well played). This is his MO. I still find Nick to be waaay too sly for my tastes, everything he says, does, and tweets seems so calculated to me. And I realize I'm in the minority here but there it is .

Shawn isn't fairing any better lately with his ridiculous behaviour and I'm just ready for this stupidity to be over. Ready for new drama .

^^ Each time Shawn gets upset is when K is b*tching about Nick or Nick has the nerve to hangout waiting for him to come home from his FD. What the hell. I would be pissed too. There he was on a high and the first person he sees is Nick. Whatever.

I find Nick's use of SM amusing. Just like I found Whitney's use amusing last season. They both strike me as intelligent people who are calculating the situation and using there brains when posting. IMO, this is far better than drunk posting or selling oneself while selling some link to a product. As always... JMHO.

Except Whitney wasn't a simultaneous sh!t disturber. She actually stayed out of drama.

But wasn't the exact same thing done to Nick with Shawn appearing in his room right after his FD?
