Kaitlyn Bristowe - Shawn Booth - Bachelorette 11 - General Discussion

isittrue wrote:At this point, I don't think K and S care about TPTB and their support or lack thereof.  They still seem to be reaping some benefits (endorsements, interviews and trips) without the TPTB's involvement.  I do think that it sucks for fans that the last few couples have taken a backseat to either  the overly exposed F2 or drama  and more fuss is made over a likeable but still BIP couple but it is what it is. It's what happens to their relationship off camera that matters to me more at any rate.  I do think they will more than likely show up at Ben's premiere to support Ben but that's about it.

Yep. I love how Kaitlyn and Shawn are living their post show lives. They're living THEIR lives and enjoying them. I love that there was no sucking up to TPTB via live tweeting or promoting BIP. They didn't care about it, they're busy with themselves, their families and their own interests. Some may say they have no business sense and have burned bridges for opportunities with ABC. I see it as them not being interested in being lapdogs or puppets and being happy to do their own thing, in their own way.

Everyone got all on me when I made a stink about Nick and his potentially questionable Instagram verification that I feel the need to now point out that Kaitlyn and Shawn have their accounts verified. Now I don't follow them so maybe this is old news but I just noticed it today.

Carry on.

Kaitlyn has had hers verified since her season started airing and Shawn's IG and Twitter was just recently.

I blessedly missed that kerfuffle in the Nick thread so what does this mean, please?

Fwiw, Shawn has been verified for a few weeks, Kait since her season started airing or shortly into the season iirc.

While then nevermind. Like I said, I don't follow them so I thought it was a very recent thing.

Interesting. I thought it was said that only former leads and Nick were verified. Thanks for clearing that up.

Let me clarify what was said. Nick changed his IG name and got it verified within a short period of time, with only 170,000+ followers. Out of curiosity sleuthers began searching for the procedure and qualifications to get your IG verified. The question was how could he get his IG verified because of this? and various other sources that reported it. Dated Feb 2015.

Business Insider

Celebs are P.O.'d after Instagram announced it would no longer be verifying accounts, The New York Post reports.

But now, Instagram is backing off from this practice, so celebrities, brands, and noted public figures are SOL.

The Post reports that current "unverified Instagram users include Julia Roberts,Charlize Theron, Katie Holmes and Kate Hudson."

This led to more searching to see who was and who wasn't verified. IMO I don't recall it being said that IG accounts were only verified for former leads and Nick, as I recall part of that searching it was revealed Andi wasn't verified either.

Back to Kaitlyn and her 1.1million followers.

Oh, that's not what I meant GA. At the time that the Bachelor was being sleuthed, I thought only some former leads were verified, and then Nick. No biggie, it seems as though their verification process was as random as I thought. Maybe Shawn was verified afterwards, I don't remember seeing it.

Saw this . It looks like Kaitlyn collaborated with a shop that selling wording t-shirts . And according to their ig it will come out this oct .1 and ready to sell in public . She also put on her ig today but did not say when it is coming out in public . I think her collaboration is more of her sassy and spicy personality . So that would probably the wordings on the t-shirts when it's available in public.

So is this her new "career"?
Wish her successful then, the paycheck of being the B'ette can't afford the lives of the two of them for very long I think.

So I checked the clothing website: shopstateofgrace http://us.shopstateofgrace.com/
They sell t-shirts for more than $40, pullover more than $70. I don't know if any of K's 1.1 millions of followers will spend that kind of money on a simple shirt /pullover , but I personally think it's a bit pricey.
Designing overpriced t shirts, sounds familiar? anyone?
