Kaitlyn Bristowe - Bachelorette 11 - #5 - Discussion

When is she going to Italy? Is she choosing Italy instead of going back to Nashville at the end of the month?

Cause not a good sign.. code blue, code blue, Boothstowe is coding.

@sosleepy She is not choosing Italy over Nashville, she was supposed to go back to nashville first week of Sep (she commented back to someone asking a few weeks ago). She is going to Italy this Friday for a few days and then Nashville i think (because she said bye to her parents in Canada last night)

Lol a few days? Flight in cheap seats is like 600 bucks. Nice detour.

@Kashathediva She mentioned she had an opportunity to go to Italy, so i'm thinking maybe a brand is sponsoring her , or they got an affordable flight... I know she is working on her wine label as well so maybe it has something to do with that too

I don't know. It didn't look all that smoky where she was, but let's pretend smoke was ruining her vacation with her family....instead of going home early to her beloved Doodlebug that she misses like crazy, she'd rather go to romantic Italy with a friend? This is all very sad. And as much as I wanted them to work, I agree with @Boshem that she would be better off finding someone with interests that match her own, but she seems to be completely in love with Shawn anyway.

Now, to throw a wrench in things: If you go to Kait's IG sticky titled 'Doodle' and scroll through, you'll find a private IG that Shawn sent to Kait on May 25 while she was in Vancouver working on her scrunchie line. It's a photo of Doodle with a wine bottle and in front of the bottle is a sign saying "Happy Wine Day. We miss you." This is the kind of sweet gesture that takes time. Shawn had to get the sign to stand up, get Doodle to stand still, etc. But he put in the effort. So what changed two months later? She took off the ring. So it was either something that really bothered him or it just put their different needs and desires into focus and he decided to bail. Pure speculation on my part.

I don’t think she’s paying for the Italy flight either and it’s a sponsored thing, not that she’s necessarily avoiding going back to Nash at the designated time.

I do think it’s funny, not in a ha ha but more of an ironic/cringe way, that she’s posting all this stuff with fans to get a rise out of Shawn but it’s not working because he literally doesn’t give a flying fig and has seemingly no idea what’s even going on. Wonder if he even remembers he has a gf at this point?

In her instastory it sounded like they were complaining about the smoke in BC (wildfires all over the PNW make being outside absolutely miserable right now, it’s the worst I’ve seen myself). Her friend suggested they go to Italy for the rest of her vacation instead of sitting around in the bad air. It seems like it was a silly spur of the moment suggestion and she decided to take her up on it.

Of course she could’ve elected to go back to Nashville early? Unless it’s a legal issue, I don’t know if she’s required to spend a certain number of days outside the US, nor do I care enough to spend time googling it.

There she goes again mentioning what Shawn doesn't like.

Just because she likes to drink wine it sounds like a negative towards Shawn because he doesn't like it. Maybe he doesn't like it when she drinks.

@Mozhi1 I hope she is getting paid. Six hundred bucks to and from and nonstop is pretty darn cheap and that’s coach. That is about as affordable as you can get.

@GuardianAngel If you read the comment , it wasn't negative towards shawn at all. Someone commented that she should not go to italy because its for lovers and she should go with the love of her life not friend. She replied that shawn doesn't enjoy Italy as much as hers.

@crunchette Its crazy smokey in BC... danger level is 10 , its awful

can’t imagine not loving Italy. We go in spring. Every day is a count down for us.

I read it more as an excuse for him not to travel with her than negative talk about Shawn. But, TBH, it doesn't sound like a good reason to me since there are so many things to do in Italy beside drinking wine1
