I don't think it ever dawned on me that Kaitlyn and Tayshia might (inadvertently) take attention away from Katie.

With Chris as host of Bachelorette the focus of the men was entirely on the lead girl. Kaitlyn is very flirty and Tayshia has such a great figure, I can see how Katie may have been upstaged by them. Did they already announce the pair of them as hosts for Michelle Young's season? Maybe they should consider having another male host for her season!!!

Whether it's a male or female to me isn't the issue, imo I think it should be one host.

I could totally see the focus being taken away from Katie. You have two former bachelorettes, who have never hosted a show, who are settled in their life and have to leave for a few months, filling big shoes per se, imo they were probably trying to hard.

I don't watch this franchise to watch CH and for me I'm not watching to see K and Tayshia hosting. I'm glad they had the opportunity, but that article sounds like they were being themselves with their outgoing personalities on a show where the host is usually in the background for the most part.

I hope they can pull it off and get a lot of credit for doing a job well done!

I think this article was written with the narrative to criticize Kaitlyn and Tayshia because some people want Chris Harrison back. I wonder if they were men if they would get the same kind of criticism and bias this article seems to imply. All JMO.

I could see Blake and Katie together. He had four new follows on social media on April 12th though. Maybe someone else was handling his account? -- Or a producer might have handed his or her phone over to Blake for a little bit.
