Katie Thurston - Bachelorette 17 - Discussion

It makes sense that they broke up. It's hard enough to have a long distance relationship but even harder when it's another country. Obviously it can work like with Kevin and Astrid. I wish them both well.

not shocked. i don't think katie ever made the relationship a priority. she moved out to san diego as soon as her season ended and seems to be enjoying partying with the cool kids for the first time in her life (imo)

i think blake is a great guy. hope he finds someone before bip inevitably comes knocking for the both of them.

Yeah not surprised.. oh well.

Wait, so what *really* went wrong between #TheBachelorette's Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes? Exclusive details: https://t.co/i5gHgF3jbD

It irks me a bit when I read someone say wish they were here more. She knew he had that Africa trip planned. She knew they lived in two different countries. I'm saying "she" because of her quotes in the article.

When there is complete trust and a willingness to be together no matter what, it works imo.

To me this wasn't the case with them and I could see two different life paths between the two of them.

I wonder if she'll chase her F3 - bust up guy, Greg Grippo?

Something tells me GG will no longer be interested. No intel, just my own opinion.

I was sorry to hear of the split, but not terribly surprised by it. It sounds like they wanted different lifestyles.

Best wishes to both of them.

I think that Katie was more into Greg than she tried to let on and him leaving was a big blow. She may have told herself that Blake was her first choice but not sure if that was the truth. Either way, I don't think it would have worked. All JMO.

I came across something a week ago or so, don't recall if it was an IG story or what about her making her comedy debut.

I just looked around to see how that turned out. This article says it all. While sleuthing her as a contestant, I came across some crass vid's she made. Never cared for her. I think comparing to other ette's who are doing quite well from being the ette, I don't think the same will go for her. I could be wrong but to me she's lost in the sexually aroused teenage era.

Blake did nothing more for Katie, than save her A$$ from an absolute fiasco of a season, and it's unfortunate in hindsight. Katie can spend the rest of her 20's and (likely longer), chasing the limelight, attempting to stay relevant, until one day she looks back and reassesses her life. I don't think she ever intended to do anything other than move to California to start her new life adventures, which did not include a relationship, or Blake. She should own that. Blake on the other hand will find someone who truly appreciates him, his dedication and commitment to animals, and who will likely share the same attributes and support him wholly. He deserves better then what he got.

Just my two cents.

@ariwolf @Nibbles22 Agree with you on all you said. Not surprised. Blake will find someone worthy. Katie - well she has her vibrator and seems to find that a big priority.
