I don't think anyone is asking that they be perfect, but rather that they be respectful for others. Yes, they are only human, but that doesn't give them a hall pass to take out their bitter resentment on Ben and Lauren.
JMO of course.

IA that's how I see it. Kaitlyn feels it's her right to say and behave any way she wants. That's fine, however you have to deal with the outcome. The only way she deals with the out come is to lash out. She indicates in the blog that she blogged and tweeted during the show to show JoJo support. She could have picked up the phone and talked to her and gave her all the support she needed.

I agree with @sosleepy If one is truly happy in their relationship, they live a positive life. There are other 'ettes before her who are married or in a good place in their life with their chosen one who don't display this kind of immaturity. IMO that's because they are truly happy.

I do not think that she is not happy, K is this kind of person, and if S can deal with it, everything is OK. Year ago so many people said that they will split in a month, but they are still together.

I do not quarrel with someone, I like K. That's it.

We don't quarrel, we post our opinions. I'm glad you can enjoy them as a couple.

I'm not sure if you are aware, they have a Fan Thread where all posts are positive.

Fan Thread

I like kaitlyn and shawn as a couple. I'm a  firm believer in someone for everyone and I think they've found that with each other, they fit together so well. There's been speculation in the past on this very board that tptb just don't like them, I don't think they do. While I think other couples have been shafted WAY more than them (*cough* Chres *cough*) for reasons that escape me, there doesn't seem to be the animosity from tptb towards them like I see with Kaitlyn and Shawn (doesn't help that they spoiled their own season). All that said, I cringed when I saw that tweet and I found it in EXTREMELY poor taste. They do seem very jealous of all the opportunities BenLo receives, it could just be moments of weakness when they like those kinds of tweets or send those tweets out as we know neither of them have much in the way of filters but it would be nice to see both of them exercise some measure of self control with the things they air publicly. All JMO.

I'm just really baffled how they think they are being shafted in terms of opportunities, if indeed they think that. Kaitlyn got to be on family feud twice, no one else has. They just taped an episode of Millionaire. The show has given them the ability to just chillax, traveling around the world on free vacations with no real jobs. They should be on their knees thanking the show for their current situation and not complaining about going the ATFR.

Oh and Shawn, your chick is FAR from the best bachelorette ever. JMO

LOVE this post! Spot on!

@ReneeM I agree with you that perhaps this couple was a bit miffed at the Benlo opportunities; more so their upcoming reality show. Based on Ka-Shawn's snapchat life, they probably thought that they're more entertaining and should've been considered for their own show IMO.

^ hate to say but it summarize everything you said

I think the resentment really bubbled over with BenLo's reality tv show announcement. At least that's when it became obvious and blatant to me. It seems like A LOT of formers are making cameos on this show (Jo^3- so I guess things can't be too awkward there like Kaitlyn really seemed to want it to be, the twins, Ashley I, Becca, potentially The Farmer, I'll be shocked if Trista and Ryan don't show up, maybe JJ.) None of those people seem bitter, rather they are just milking the opportunity to get more camera time and piggy backing off BenLo's silly show. If Boothstowe played nice, maybe they could have an episode and hope for good ratings to maybe get a show of their own. I guess that's not how they opperate though.

It would hurt Kaitlyn's heart, in my opinion, to get to be only an episode of Ben's (who is her castoff) show. Not only would she only get to be a small part of Ben's story but she would probably have to do or talk about Ben too and I am almost positive she would find all of that insulting. What is sad to me is it seemed as though Shawn was genuinely friends with Ben and now I feel like he would also be insulted on Kaitlyn's behalf. I feel like Kaitlyn has actually had more opportunities than Ben has just not the big one that she wants.

IMO people are attracted in the long run to positivity and other than initial rubber necking will shun negativity.
Eventually, this will come back to haunt her, unless she learns from her lessons. IMO

I do think abc have been nice to both of them despite all these attitudes toward them . They gave them a lot of opportunities by guesting them the best that they can. The only problem here is they are expecting an offer like benlo . Jmo.
