Kaitlyn Bristowe - Shawn Booth - Bachelorette 11 - General Discussion

I'm actually more curious to see who breaks up with who than when they actually break up. I used to think it would definitely be Kaitlyn (after she had gotten bored) and now I'm starting to think it'll definitely be Shawn. I do think he's actually in love with her (I don't really believe Josh ever was in love with Andi, just the image he had of her), so it'll be interesting to see how it all goes down. I've said before that I could see them going the route of Charlie/Sarah, who I think really loved each other and that's why they were on and off for so many years but just couldn't make it work with Charlie's issues. I think the same will happen here, with the genders reversed.

Ditto, except I'm not sure about the gender reversal. Charlie certainly had a problem with alcohol, but in this case, frankly, I see both parties having issues.

Good point

I do still think that Kaitlyn brings out the worst in him. Pre-filming, Shawn seemed to have it together, with a stable job, being a homeowner, an IG that was mostly filled with pictures of his niece/nephew (and not drinking), etc. I'm sure he's always had issues with anger and possessiveness/jealousy, but I don't think he was always this lost and irresponsible.

TBF, Kaitlyn didn't tell Shawn to quit his job to find love on reality tv. He doesn't have his priorities in check as it is. I think the person you are with should make you want to be a better person. I don't see Kaitlyn and Shawn doing that for each other. They may be having fun together right now but this relationship is going nowhere fast IMO.

IA. He quit his job all on his own and he was drinking the liquor throughout the show too. His choices.
Kaitlyn and Shawn are two peas in a pod. IMO.
Both immature and going nowhere fast.
For all the drama/controversy surrounding her season, I find these two boring as a couple.
Any time I periodically check in on this thread when I am bored it's the same thing again and again with these two.
Liquor and not much else. All jmo

No one should bring the worst out of the other in any relationship IMO. If they are mature, and know which end is up, then speak up or hit the road. Don't just agree and go with the flow because you want to please the other.

This is the same path the previous ette and her F1 were on. Sooner or later, one of them will feel used and I'm betting it will be Shawn.

I'm not a fan of anyone making fun with snarky comments of their partner g/f wife b/f whatever. K seems to enjoy doing that to Shawn.

Oh lord their snaphat tonight. My goodness!!! So so funny and hilarious ! . life is a party . sorry I can't stop laughing . They are like teens because of their silliness which I found not cute at all but again to its own

Sometimes I wonder if they are really serious of the word marriage . I have nothing to both of them but the way they are acting it seems they are becoming not like a marriage material . I hope people don't get mad at me . Jmo .

Why would anyone get mad at you? No reason to feel that way for expressing your opinion.

There's no way these two are even thinking of getting married IMO.

I am now wondering was TOG making Kaitlyn think too much about the future with a more essential periscope?  Is that why she chooses Shawn?

I agree that they are hilarious and no one should be mad at you for having an opinion. ;) I happen to think they are adorable and perfect for one another. #Love I would never want someone mad at me either. It is just my opinion too. I think they are destined to be together.

The partying & drinking doesn't bother me so much. But it does seem to be much of what they are doing. And it's tedious at this point. How many times do we have to see them swishing around a highball glass full of whiskey & watching them lip sync. It's cute only once in awhile.
I saw a glimmer of hope with the fishing trip snaps. I just don't know who they are or really want to at this point. They want everyone to know all thier "business" (personal and opportunistic) and at the same time will not let us puncture their wall and show us much "real ness". I think part of it is the backlash they've gotten, but another part of it may be that they aren't even sure who they are yet. And that's not really the best place to start a relationship.
They seem quite dependent on each other, like two halves that need one another to be one whole rather than two wholes becoming a team of two wholes who bring out the better qualities in one another, IMO.

Agent curls - I have to say, you understand their relationship dynamics completely. I find myself nodding in agreement every time I read your posts!
