Kaitlyn Bristowe - Shawn Booth - Bachelorette 11 - General Discussion

^ yes it is

You know what is more funny ? Last night after their periscope they both posted their snapchat after their bar time . Shawn is snapvideoing k being tipsy and I think she was a little drunk and she was eating something and did some baby talk and today both of their video  they  took each other last night were deleted at their respective sc history and yeah I do think they got embarrassed what they posted last night . Just saying . Oh k&s haha ..

I have not really been keeping up on Shawn and Kait just getting caught up on here. I was very disappointed to hear she was not doing DWTS I feel like of all the couples from this show she and they needed this more than anyone else.

She needs something to "ground" her right now, and I believe the dedication/hard work required for the show would have been good for her and the relationship. Especially in establishing some sort of independence from one another. From what I take on here is that S & K spend every waking moment together, which is not healthy. They need a break from one another IMO.

I also think in regards to the SM they need to put their phones down when they are drinking. I am married and am in my late 20s and I still go out to have a good time, not every weekend (prob more like once a month) but when I do go out with friends to a bar/club I don't bring my phone with me so that I am not even enticed.

I just don't see this lasting more than a couple more months.

It is easy to judge from behind a keyboard so hopefully I am wrong, but I don't think I am. All IMO of course.

Snapchatting drunk, then deleting it the next day when you're somewhat coherent, is another example of poor Kaitlyn and reasons why she'll be selling candles for the rest of her life.

What a waste of a bachelorette life, post show. So much opportunity to be had, but the booze is more important.

JMO but these two are heading for disaster. Neither one is mature enough to get their act together.

At least they're heading there together.

Any wedding talk from them?

This is a really interesting point of view since it is the exact opposite of what most people have been thinking. I agree with your reasoning about the show maybe grounding her and making them spend some time apart. The fact that they are already editing themselves in the sober light of day...deleting stuff they posted while drunk...is not a good sign. They don't seem to have anyone telling them to tone things down. If I was behaving this way, my mother would be all over me to smarten up, but unfortunately for Kaitlyn, her mom actually seems to encourage this. I can see why ABC/producers distanced themselves from this couple. They are a hot mess and their own worst enemies. They definitely are not bringing out the best in one another and as a result, seem to have lost out on a lot of positive things that could have come their way as a result of their association with the show. I can see them begin to resent each other because of this and bitterness does not help a relationship. Let's see if they step back a little, although, I'm not holding my breath.

Talk about being damned if you do and damned if you don't. If she were in fact doing DTWS and taking advantage of every opportunity of staying in the limelight, we would be here saying that she needs to stop chasing fame and focus on their relationship. I like their dynamic - sure reality will hit them soon enough when the money runs low - but to say that they are drunken train wrecks heading for disaster is a bit of a stretch. Let them live?

I think their personality  and being in the same page really fit to each other . And it seems that what they are doing and there is not even an issue of how they are living their life. It just all about living in the moment life as we are seeing it. They seem to compliment each other especially their lifestyle. but again at their ages they should be acting the way it should be . Lessen the party life and drinking as much as possible . They are engaged and heading to the serious page of life . jmo.

I personally don't have an issue with people from the franchise doing DWTS in particular. The payday is just too big...even if you only make it one episode. Purely from a financial point of view, it really would be dumb not to do the show if offered. It is also for this reason that I wouldn't consider doing that show as chasing fame...as long as you returned back to your regular life more or less after the show.

As for Kaitlyn and Shawn being drunken train wrecks heading for disaster, that I do not see as a stretch at all. With every picture posted with a drink in hand and with every drunken snapchat posted, they are themselves showing us a glimpse of where thier lives are headed. They may or may not stay together, but all the drinking is not a good harbinger of things to come for their relationship or for their health.

I agree Kaitlyn definitely needs some type of project to ground her. She needs to hire a PR firm to help repair the damage already done and to guide her/them with plans for the present and future. The trouble is, it seems, she just won't listen to anyone that gives her any critiscm, whether it be constructive or not. They appear to be floundering with no real concrete plans or goals to work toward. I am actually very sad for her and for what positive things she could've done with her 'Ette win/title

I think it may already be too late for this. A reality show stars shelf life is pretty short....particularly in this franchise. There are so many new people each season and if you are the lead you have the floor, so to speak, until the next season. If you are a particularly popular lead and if you have a successful relationship your longevity may be extended, but either way, you have to strike while the iron is hot. The show producers and ABC can open a lot of doors for you...or close them...as the case may be. Even if they get things to endorse on their own, that will only last as long as they have fans and they seem to be turning them off fairly quickly with their behaviour. Not to mention, people who live in the moment, don't exactly like to plan...which is usually what gets them into trouble. They dig themselves out of one hole only to fall into another. I work with someone just like Kaitlyn and it is drama, drama, drama non stop. Flighty and rudderless doesn't begin to describe it.

IMO, S&K bring out the worst and not the best in each other.
Immaturity usually does that.
But this is no surprise considering how they were on the show.
Lots of passionate relationships are filled with great highs and even greater lows and if boredom becomes part of the equation?
Well, add alcohol to the mix and it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Great posts Sprite and AllAboutLove!! I see this as well
