JJ and Clint’s relationship is still very odd. Ian is still arrogant and likely hired an image coach from Princeton who advised him to get on his knees, look sincere, apologize to everyone who will listen and to try to come off as humble. I still think he’s a jerk. Ben Z is still amazingly likable, charming and good looking. Ben H is still the best looking second runner up in Bachelor history and the fact that he hasn’t met someone yet is only because I hope he’s signed a contract to be the next Bachelor and is being kept in isolation to prevent women from knocking down his door. I love that he defended Kaitlyn from the annoying blue eyed guy who decided to form opinions on everything even though he spent 5 minutes on the show. Jared is still so sweetly innocent, even more so without that facial hair. He’ll be eaten alive during Bachelor in Paradise. I’m not sure why I wasn’t offered the opportunity to host the post-Bachelor in Paradise recap show, but I’m guessing it’s because they thought it would be TOO AWESOME. Ha!
Couple of points that were raised tonight:
– I may not have agreed with some (or any) of Kaitlyn’s decisions on the show (e.g., to bring Nick into the running, to let the guys fight each other in boxing, then in wrestling, to tell Shawn about her Nick intimacy, to be intimate with Nick, etc, etc), but I did feel for her when she talked about all of the backlash she’s gotten. And how it affects her family. That’s just horrible. Death threats? Taking time to bring someone down via Twitter? That’s just beyond reason. Yes, we all watch this show with judgement and opinions, but taking it to the next level of wanting to cause physical harm or mental pain to the contestants and their families is just sick. I see Kaitlyn as human – she owned up to the mistakes she made and doesn’t apologize for her actions. I hope she stays strong and ends up with some sort happy ending through this journey. Even if that’s having some fond memories to share with friends back in Vancouver.
– Tanner (who is Tanner?) made a big stink about how it was wrong of Kaitlyn to bring Nick into the process. This was one of the biggest debates of the season. But I liked Kaitlyn’s point at the end of this discussion – try dating all of these people at the same time, on camera and try not to make any mistakes!
– Glad we got an explanation for Joe’s angry departure after confessing his love to Kaitlyn – he was just extremely drunk!
– I don’t know what Kaitlyn saw in JJ.
– I wish we could have heard more from the guru guy. Tony? He should have had some wise words to share on the whole experience.
I don’t really have anything more to say except that Kaitlyn was wearing a ton of make up tonight and she doesn’t need it. It was almost muting her beauty. And I’m semi- interested in seeing the show that follows Bachelorette – “The Whispers” because I just want to whisper the name of that show repeatedly and it seems a bit creepy but entertaining. Kind of like Bachelor in Paradise will be.
Oh and Emily Maynard – remember her? The beautiful blonde Bachelorette single mom who chose the Utah blonde guy Jef with one “f” and then broke up with him? Well she’s remarried and just had a baby boy last week! Check out her Facebook page for pics: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialEmilyMaynard Her hubby is adorable.
If you’re looking for some cute fall baby clothes, why not Osh Kosh? You may see someone familiar looking if you go to this link and scroll down to the second baby. Hint: she’s my daughter 🙂

That’s it for this week. Do we think there’s going to be a surprise ending here? I mean, can Kaitlyn convince these two to make amends and try out a threesome? Probably not. My feeling is that she’s head over heels for Shawn for whatever reason and that’ll be her guy. Nick will be crushed but I feel more sorry for his family. Anyone else think it’s Nick? Let’s hear it!

Stace, just a little correction,
Emily is married for the first time (not remarried) … married finally after her 4th engagement. (Congrats on her having her second child)
Clint and JJ weren’t clear at all. Still all very strange. I loved Kaitlyn’s question to Clint of why he didn’t treat her as well as he treated JJ. So true.
100 % agree with you about Kaitlyn. Her choices weren’t always the best but that is no reason to be unkind, hurtful or downright vicious. Yes, it must be horrific for her family. Fortunately it will all be forgotten in 6 months to a year’s time.
And ditto about her makeup. It made her look hard when in reality she’s not.
What a GREAT group of men (for the most part). There are so many gems in that group. Jared does look much better with his beard trimmed. He seemed still so much in love with her even after having filmed Bachelor in Paradise.
Ben H is a good guy (crazy handsome, too). Really lucid and even-keeled. Hope he finds a the right woman in the next season as the Bachelor.
Ellie is a doll and is growing up so fast. She was a baby in the last collection and now is a little girl. Is she talkative like her parents ?!

PS I think it’s Shawn, too. He’s so insecure. I think it will exhaust Kaitlyn . Then again, maybe not.

Agree. I know that this season of Bachelorette is not the best, but who are these idiots on social media who think they can cyber bully anyone? It’s against the law in the Middle East (what else is new) to be derogatory or defame someone publicly, and people go to jail. Maybe that’s the only way to stop the cyber hatred that is so rampant these days. It’s downright sickening.
I love Ben H, AND Ben Z. Would be happy for either of them to be the next Bachelor. They are both mature and seem to have their heads on straight. Not to mention hot as all get out.
But…. I think she ends up with Shawn. I don’t think they will last, because he is way to insecure and jealous. And I’m still not sure if she is really ready to settle down.
So happy for Emily and Tyler Johnson. She met him at her church, and they seem incredibly happy together. (She lives about an hour away from me in Charlotte. I follow her on Instagram…they seem really happy together.)
Ellie is adorable. Super model in the making!
Stephanie says
Agreed, I think it will be Shawn. I think Nick and Kaitlyn would make a better couple though (and I don’t even like Nick!!). It looks like the proposal scenes are going to be shot at night..? Is that normal? I’m already ready for ATFR–it’ll be juicy.
I will definitely watch Paradise.

What a small world! If you click on this Oshkosh link, you will see my grandson, Matteo! He’s the one in the middle. http://www.oshkosh.com/oshkosh-baby-boy?navID=header
Do the children do their photo shoots at the same time? If so, I wonder if you’ve met Matteo’s mother?

Let’s just say I am so happy this mess of a season is almost over with. I think the death threats were over the top and ridiculous. But what was the point of Chris reading them out loud other than to make us feel sorry for her. The ones he read were very similar to the celebrity mean tweets on Jimmy Kimmel show which are hilarious. As horrible as the tweets were, it was hard to keep a straight face. It felt like we were supposed to feel sad and serious about it. I couldn’t help but compare it to the mean tweets segment on Jimmy Kimmel. If you don’t want to be called names, then don’t behave that way. Does she think she’s the first reality star to receive criticism? Sports athletes and celebrities deal with all sorts of negativity all the time. If you weren’t willing to open yourself up to public scrutiny, then don’t go on tv. I remember Chris H was so disgusted with Juan Pablo on the women tell all, and never had his back like he has Kaitlyn’s. He talked down to him like he was scum and even mentioned several times he was glad his season was almost over with. Kaitlyn has received probably more back lash than Juan, but why does she get a free pass. He sticks up for her because she’s a girl and cried about it. Chris Harrison knows how much scrutiny she has received and how much this season has been a mess. I think it’s bogus he brushes it under the rug. Also, when Jonathon called her out for letting Nick join, her response ‘didn’t you vote for Britt?’ turning it around on him. Glad another guy, I forget who spoke up for him. At the end of the men tell all, she hates being bullied but embarrasses JJ and Clint making fun of them. Whoever she ends up with, won’t last long because she is not ready to setttle down. She never once talked about a future, children or anything. She just wanted to suck face and get plowed. She is a surface level person, no depth to her at all.
I think Shawn is controlling a possessive. I never thought he was that attractive like so many people did. But then again I didn’t think Ryan Gosling is that cute either lol. He is more focused on Nick and if she chooses him I can’t imagine how he will be if they ever get married. Huge red flags. I follow Emily Maynard on instagram and her baby boy is so beautiful. I am not surprised she broke up with Jef (with one F) long ago. My sister met him in Vegas a few months ago and he was a total douschbag and tried getting her back to his room. He then tried making her feel guilty that she wouldn’t. Not the guy who was on the show. Different character. He’s a party boy and a pig. Good for Emily, she is such a beautiful and classy girl. Btw, I saw the picture and you’re baby girl is so precious.
