The Bachelorette 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - #8 - Media - Tweets - IG - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - Discussion

It's almost reminiscent of how obvious they made it that Melissa was F1, so we all thought that was the end of the story. I don't think anything as dramatic is happening this time, but I do think they have accepted the Shawn spoiler is out and indisputable, but they are going along with it because they have something else in store for us.

At least, I hope so. If they are just going to let future leads give away the ending in their blogs for no ulterior motive, what the heck are they doing?

There is a reason ABC is allowing her People blogs and SM activity. Nobody actually thinks this is all her doing, right?!

No, I don't think it's all her doing and that's what has me puzzled.  It's known that the leads blogs are edited, Juan Pablo has said his were constantly edited before they were released, so why would they openly let Kaitlyn be so biased in her blogs?  I would think that since the Snapchat "mishap", they'd be pushing for her to be more pro Nick, at least a little anyway.   If it wasn't for the snapchat video, I would say Nick is her f1 because to this point everything has been "in your face Shawn"

Yeah that was my initial thought that  it was deliberately done to throw us off as Nick as F1. Now,  I  think either 1) she is sharing all this because all the drama is hiding the love story between her and Shawn, so she wants to show that this is a love story there or 2) something else big happens to change things maybe by ATFR but I can't really think of what that would be or how the blogs would fit in.  I don't think Shawn is forcing her to do these blogs like some seem to think.

ETA: I do think these blogs coupled with the sexting scandal now emerging in the media are leading up to something that will happen at ATFR. Not looking forward to it at all.

This post was worthy of a like and

What sexting scandal? Is there something more than what was already brought up about her and Nick prior to filming?

Nor really a scandal per se, just that E news report making her pre-show relationship with Nick more public. I think this is a setup for something that's going to potentially throw K under the bus by the end of this.

I tend to play down the sensationalized angle of things. My feeling is 99% of the time it's much ado about nothing. 
I think the ATFR will be the same unless something 180 degrees different than K and S being together happens.

Yeah, in a normal season I'd agree with you but this season has been anything than ordinary IMO

Shawn has come off as the biggest whining, douchebag loser, in the history of F1's.  It's no surprise that Kaitlyn and friends want to paint him in an entirely different light before the finale.  How are fans supposed to be excited that she picks him in the end?  Kaitlyn herself has come off as the trashiest, bawdiest, classless bachelorette ever to have the title of bachelorette, and imo, fans are just going to say 'they deserve each other', and they do.  I don't think many are kidding themselves that there is any kind of love story here.

^^^ I respectfully disagree. She has a lot of fan support. I like kait and I am happy she picked Shawn! I have no doubt they will receive a lot of fan support post show. As always, not everyone will be happy but it is a silly show and Kait made the best choice for her.

I see an "ordinary" ATFR and not much drama. I bet they announce the next bachelor too.

I think it's going to be a very confrontational ATFR - between all 3 of them unfortunately. I have my doubts that we are going to get a happy, still together couple when this ends. Sad but it's TPTB, Nick is involved, and it's been nothing but drama while expect ordinary when TPTB are licking their chops.

^^^ Well they are together now...at least were as of 2 weeks ago during the fourth.  ;)  Kait is still wearing the bracelet and talking about him as much as she can in snapchat blogs.  

Who knows if it will be long term, and we might some drama, but I have a feeling we will get giddy, gooeyness at the ATFR too!

He may not be employable. Employers look at all forms of media now to determine whether a person will be a good fit for their business. Social media, Facebook, Twitter and I would think they would look at how he behaved on his latest venture. Simply put, with TPTB concentrating on the less favorable parts of his nature, he may have a difficult time securing anything other than reality TV.
