They are just being greedy now.  

Seriously - they act like they are perpetually ignored and have never been invited to anything

1000000% this. 

It would still be a bad look even *if* she had a point, but she's still cashing in. 

I thought Shawn was the level headed one, disappointed in him. Time for them to let it go and stop letting stupid TV show invites dictate their importance.

His leash was on so tight, he had no choice to tweet that. j/k of course.

Shawn will either get sick of it over the years, or put up with it forever. Whatever works, good for them. I personally would never embarass my partner and treat him like he's the servant. It was obvious the guys on FFeud know what that relationship is all about. They had to drag him back and play the game and hugged it out to make him feel better that he didn't hand the game over to her when she pouted, that's the way I see it. He's a wimp IMO and she's a total spoiled brat who has no conscience on how she treats him. He likes it, so that's ok too.

I find them very selfish and ungrateful. She was the 'ette, she had wardrobe makeup travelled to beautiful countries, magazine spreads, you name it, all for free. She got engaged, the man of her dreams, and that's the thanks TPTB get from both of them.

And they have zero ties to JoJo so why the heck would they need to be there. They just want camera time. I am now hoping ABC doesn't invite them to anything else. Then they'll truly know what it's like to be treated unfairly.

I feel like Kaitlyn/Shawn's entitlement/jealousy has really blown up and become overt ever since Ben/Lauren announced their TV show. I really think that's where 75% of her resentment comes from. In their eyes, she was the star and Ben was just a supporting cast member, and Shawn was the winner, and Ben was second runner up. Yeah, they are all "friends," but not really. And now that other friend kinda moved on and upstaged them all with his own couple brand + spin off that they obviously desperately want, and they are none to pleased. JMO.

The thing is, how many opportunities did she miss out on because of her bratty snarky behaviour? IMO she has no one to blame but herself, if she thinks she's being stiffed.

She IMO thinks she's "cool" by behaving the way she does. Be yourself, have fun with your life, but don't expect every one to agree with your behaviour with your little spoiled outbursts. How does she think that is going to help her in any way.

They are in Vegas now filming Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I'm sure that was planned awhile ago. I wonder why they think of them now after they acted like spoiled teenagers. MF tweeted a snarky remark commenting on Shawn's crazy hair after their childish SM behaviour.

The thing with Kaitlyn is she has built a brand with being the "alternative" couple. The one who could "give 2 craps" about the show, the fans, what people think. They are just Kaitlyn/Shawn, doing them.

Couldn't be further from the truth, IMO. I don't think many formers/couples care more about what people think and their "place" in Bachelor universe more than Boothstowe (mostly Kaitlyn, but Shawn by default.) It's obvious just in the way she constantly fights back against the internet trolls, won't ever give it a rest. It's obvious how much she cares with her butt hurt tweets about not being at the ATFR, etc, etc.

I think the couple who truly doesn't care is probably more like quiet, kind, Des & Chris. They do their thing, do certain appearances, not much, but certainly don't whine, at least not publicly, at every little perceived "slight." I mean, they didn't even get the franchise wedding. And unless I missed something, I never once heard either complain.

This is  I am thinking about them. I mean her season is just over for how long now ? Let the current couples come out and take over the fame . She should be thankful abc still asking them to appear on their live shows despite of them saying how unhappy they are with the way the show treated them. Abc still there asking them to appear their 15 mins of fame . Jmo.

She's gotten plenty of opportunities as was brought up a few days ago in this thread. No one from this show can have it all, not even the beloved couples. Remember when SeanCat's pregnancy wasn't even acknowledged on Bachelor Live but K&S were invited there even though they had no interesting news to share? Remember when Chres didn't get a televised wedding because the show was supposedly done with those but then Janner got one? Remember when the other couples except BenLo weren't invited to JoJo's ATFR and none of them complained about it except K&S? They're not the only ones who have missed out on opportunities. JoJo's ATFR was supposed to be about JoJo and Jordan. That was their night and their moment to shine. It's not always about you, Kaitlyn and Shawn.

All JMO.

I always got the feeling Shawn is your buddy until you get something he feels he is entitled to. He displayed this behavior on Kaitlyn's season (getting pissed off when Jared got the GDR instead of him).

They should be kissing production and BenLo's azz for a guess spot on the show. Not shading them.

Yup. Agreed with all above. Note to Kaitlyn: there are currently 8 franchise couples together, and you, Boothstowe, aren't even one of the married ones. You are not a special snowflake. Get in line, and be grateful for what you get. If not, I'll happily trade lives and take some of those freebie trips, Hawaii and Paris for free sound amazeballs. Must be nice.
