So I don't know if this is old news, but Kaitlyn has officially launched her website. Joy.

They don't care because not enough folks pay attention like we do. Kait is attempting to break the barometer on spoilers though and doing it single handedly. No need for friends, family or even Shawn to get involved, she's got this down

Haha, Kaitlyn is attempting to break ALL the records for past Bachelorettes.

Yeah, it is definitely possible that they've just gotten lazy. Ratings have never correlated with surprise of F1, so I can get why it's not a priority anymore to hide it. Chris did the same thing with Whitney and Becca last season (paragraphs on Whitney, few sentences on Becca and mostly just teasing her virgin reveal), so maybe that's their new thing. I feel like 95% of unspoiled viewers knew it was going to be Josh, Whitney, and Shawn in their respective seasons without looking at all the blogs and SM clues that we do, so I guess that's how it's going to be from now on.

I have to admit, I preferred seasons like Ali and Des, where the leads actually played along and kept up the suspense.

I mean, Kaitlyn said the exact brand and design of the bracelet that Shawn gave her on their FSD, that she conveniently is wearing in all of her recent IG pictures. It was such an odd thing to include the brand name, as people are usually like "oh, he gave me this really cute bracelet" and it just seemed like her saying "if my 379 other clues haven't made you 100% sure, here's another one!".

I understand why SHE would want to do that, but I'm confused as to why TPTB are letting her get away with this. Either they have gotten super lazy and just don't care about spoilers anymore or they don't care, because something big is going to happen that will take the attention away from the F1.

Yeah, I have to admit as much as I enjoy the clues, I worry about why TPTB are allowing this. I will be a nervous wreck by the FRC/ ATFR waiting for the shoe to drop for sure.

Interesting side note on the cover of Life and Style for July 27th, supporting the "full Mesnick" theory.  So the question is, does she chose Nick first and then sleep with Shawn for her snapchat debut.  Or does she chose Shawn and then switch to Nick?


The producers will leak all kinds of crazy stuff to get the fans talking and doubting the ending that was already leaked weeks ago.

Ugh! Now more doubts for me about what goes down ATFR. Maybe she does pull a Mesnick - ATFR. The finale can't get here soon enough!

Maybe she said yes to Nick's proposal and then was like "Oh no, no no, I can't do this! Bring me Shawn!" 10 minutes later. Wouldn't put it past her TBH.

IMO, maybe the magazine is implying things are rocky with Shawn and she is regretting not picking Nick. Not happy news for me since this is the same publication had details about the proposal.

I think a lot of sleuthers on this board can say they picked the F1 just by looking at photos of the contestants. I know for Josh, Whitney, and now Shawn, a lot of us posted that these contestants "look like F1" and they were. Kinda blows my mind when one thinks that it can be as obvious as just looking for a physical "type" match by a photo and not even watching the show, not knowing spoilers, or anything.

It would be interesting if we had a poll in future just based on photos pre-spoiler/pre-show and who people on the board thinks the F1 is based on pics alone. Funny enough, I think many may predict the F1 on that alone (even when there are other contestants missing in the poll). jmo

Thanks, umn. Here's her IG post about it.

kaitlynbristowe I've been on a CRA-ZY journey these past few months. I'm grateful for all those who have supported me, or even wanted to know more about a simple girl from Leduc, Alberta. Excited to launch my website, a platform for me to express my thoughts, positivity and some of my favourite tunes and style tips I've been recently learning along the way! #Checkitout #Biggirlpants

IMO if Shawn is not F1 after all that she has written about him in her blogs and SM - not to mention how crazy giddy she has been with him since night 1 - this entire season has been a complete farce and they are all paid actors. Give Shawn an Emmy nomination!

Unless Kaitlyn decided to pull a Mesnick and switch Shawn with Nick today, I am pretty sure that Shawn will be her F1 on the final episode and on the ATFR.

Whether Shawn and Kaitlyn will be still together when Bachelor season starts is anyone's guess.

I checked her website out of curiosity. Honestly, when she already has twitter, IG, snapchat and every other sm outlets, I don't understand the point of the website. Maybe she will start promote/sell stuff later on.

I admit I am the perfect target for these tabloids but I do wonder since this same publication gave us details about the proposal if there is some accuracy in the story. (Although I did snort about another tale of last year's bette and her brotherly love triangle) I know she seems happy but I guess we won't know until ATFR and beyond how happy the couple is together.
