Kaitlyn Bristowe - Shawn Booth - Bachelorette 11 - #2 - Discussion

For 28 years old, SB sure seems like a grump.
I envision him grumpily shooing away kindergarteners trick-or-treating on his doorstep in his later years, his voice all gravelly from mouthing back to his detractors, all slumped over from having to carry his (private parts) in KB's handbag. I kid, I kid.

He does not seem content or at peace with himself or his current situation. Otherwise, why so vehemently defensive?

Why do we think they are okay with tptb now? I haven't seen any indication of such...particularly if others are gathered at some Bachelor related event and they aren't there. They are after all the reigning Bachelorette success couple and usually the latest couple is always trotted out. It's not as if they can't make it because they are busy....

Uh yeah. ^^^ I see no love lost from either end. Except for a little blip here and there, they are forgotten.

Unless I missed it I've never seen MF or Millsy tweet anything about them and Millsy tweets a lot. MF did however retweet congrats about Marcus and Lacy.

The only time IIRC that MF mentioned them was asking viewers if they wanted to see them and TOG on stage during ATFR. From there he went right into who's the next bachelor and BIP mode.

It appears to me they have been shunned a long time ago. It will be interesting to see if they are in the New Years parade.

I have a very hard time believing they would have turned down the opportunity to be in a National commercial (the project the Bach alum worked on yesterday). Knowing, I'd say they weren't offered which I think says a great deal about how TPTB view them.

Do we know who all was doing this? We know it isn't all couples because obviously Ben and Chris are a single. Were there any other singles involved?

Haha, the only difference is this is no big loss at all for TPTB because they don't, never have and never will need K&S ever. There will always be a shiny new lead and a brand new couple to come from this show everyone can "ooh" and "aah" over for as long as this show is on. If by some chance a Brad Womack is pulled or they end up with a clunker, then they always have their favorite backup couples to rely on just in case. You know kind of like now.

I'm also highly amused that Farmer Chris gets to be in a McDonald's commercial. He and Emma must still be going strong. So happy for him to be part of this moment with SeanCat and Chres. I love a good success story.

Lol that is why I am asking about it . Coz I wanna know their situation between them and tptb

Plus it looks nick was in LA too same with these other formers. So if nick was on this Bach alum . Then it's understandable they refused to be on it joining them . Not on Shawn but more on Kaitlyn side that they refused to joined them . Which is just my speculation.

I am not sure but feel like it was former male leads that were invited back and the ones that don't want to bite the hand that fed/still feeds them

Never mind . I saw who were there on RS . They invited chres but did not invite the current reigning bachelorette couple .

The only McDonald's commercial that Kaitlyn and Shawn are appearing in is on their Snapchat.  

K & S continue to take jabs at TPTB.  I don't see them being on any invite list anytime soon ever. TPTB moved on from this couple during the filming of the season.    JMO
