Add me to the list of liking Kaitlyn's mom...and I know this is going to sound really out there, but as soon as they showed the instagram Shawn sent saying he was coming for her~I would bet good money he showed her that early on in the "process", swaying her greatly. Ratings were beginning to drop rapidly, the Bromance of J.J,. and Clint was ridiculous so the producers threw Nick in there to spice thing up. Edit for the "rivalry"Matter of fact (when nick was dong his Andi 2.0 on the couch w/Kaitly )and he called her out for saying they loved each other~ the death stare on her face was like, do NOT blow this for me!We all agreed to stick o the plan! Also, as soon as K was asking Shawn about how he will react to watching the show,I knew she was choosing him and CYA at the same time. I did read somewhere that Kaitlyn was not paid as much as other Bachelorettes as she messed up the show, the instagram leak etc. To be honest? I agree they look happy now, but I'm in the under a year camp. I did notice how she was shaking before Shawn arrived and how very thin she looked...honestly, like a pre-teen so I do think she was stressing for sure. To me, Shawn is the basic BMOC dude..he chose the ring y ennie-meenie-minie-moe? Deep dude, deep.
Oh well...I still found Kaitlyn to be a more interesting Bachelorette than I envisioned Britt, but yeah, what a bogus season.
ETA: Did anyone else crack up when Kaitlyn was petting Shawn's leg on their date? She was doig it again on Kimmel lol...just looked so awkward.
