I think it was because she gushed about Shawn's entire family and talked about how hard it must be for Nick's family.  She gushed in capital letters about almost throwing up when she thought Shawn was going to say he did not love her and melting when he did, whereas she left out Nick doing the same in it's entirety.  I just rewatched Nick and Kait's time after the parent meet, where she asked him to promise to always love her and then stated giddy in an itm that she could definitly see a future with Nick, all messed up from making out with him. She is trying to rewrite history in her blogs (to appease Shawn, I suspect) and although the blogs are supposed to be about her interactions during the epi, she makes "Nick sanitized" blogs.

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 .

You're definitely not in the minority! This forum is just a very, very unique place in the interwebs.

I didn't like how Nick brought up the Eskimo brothers comment, but I liked that he didn't just say it behind Shawn's back. He brought it up in conversation with Shawn. Shawn had the perfect opportunity both with Nick and Kaitlyn to be like "wait, that's not what I said. Let me explain what actually happened". Instead, both times, he immediately started attacking Nick's character and getting super defensive - which, I'm pretty sure is a glaring neon sign that he was lying and just got caught. I just didn't feel like Shawn fought fair. He didn't let Nick get in a word during the fight; I would have a lot more respect for Shawn if he confronted Nick like the girls did with Kelsey last season, where they were like "these are specific, concrete reasons why we don't like you and trust you. Do you have anything to say to that?"

In terms of his tweet, it HAS been two months, so I would hope he would have moved on. Shawn didn't tweet anything about that, so I'm guessing he still hates Nick. It will be interesting to see what happens if they put them together on ATFR. My new prediction for the finale is that Nick pulls a Reid/Molly where he goes "Freaking Shawn? Are you kidding me? I don't get it, I just don't think he's right for you and I don't think you can trust him" .

Watching Shawn confront Nick was so silly. He admits he doesn't talk to Nick so he doesn't know him. He had a preconceived notion about Nick from last year, but doesn't bother trying to find out what happened. He confronts Nick and tells him all of his 'perceived' flaws that he knows based on hearsay. He proceeds to tell Nick that everyone hates him...including people from the previous season who Shawn doesn't know...other than Ron who clearly gets along with Nick. He doesn't let Nick talk. He bashes Nick for what he told Kaitlyn about the Eskimo brothers thing....which clearly Nick heard about from other guys...who actually talk to him. Yet Nick is an a** for stating one actual fact about Shawn and Shawn can bitch about Nick all he wants and totally assassinate his character to all and sundry (all without even knowing him or talking to him), and he expects Nick to take it and not fight back? Nice.

Watching the show and seeing all the SM coming from Kaitlyn, just reinforces what I saw last night. Shawn and Kaitlyn are on the same immature level. People can hate Nick and think him manipulative, whatever, and while he is clearly not perfect, I would take his introspection, insecurity, over caveman Alf any day.

Kaitlyn lives in the moment and seems to think the most important part of a relationship is how sexually compatible you are. I can see where Nick would appreciate that...for a while. Eventually, I think he would tire of that. Shawn...he probably will too. Sadly I don't think this will really end well for anyone and Kaitlyn will come out as the biggest loser. I thought she had an opportunity to really come out of this show with a big career boost, but sadly, unless she wants to go the way of the Kardashians, I don't see that happening. Maybe she can move to NY and go live with Andi and document their exciting single life together seeing as they are unemployed besties now? Maybe, Becca can join them.

Well when you have an insecure fiancé, that's what happens. I don't buy for 1 minute that Kaitlyn had no feelings for Nick, she is simply downplaying them for Shawn's sake. Also,  if Kaitlyn was happy currently then she wouldn't find the need to lash out at strangers on Twitter.
