This season of "The Bachelorette" started off with two women, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Britt Nilsson, and 25 suitors— all of them looking for love. Kaitlyn was chosen as season 11's Bachelorette, and this week, she has narrowed down her choices to five suitors — Ben H., Jared, Joe, Nick and Shawn — as she gets closer to choosing the man she'll marry.
The June 29 episode showed Kaitlyn repeatedly shedding tears as she continued to feel guilty about caring more for some of the guys than the others. JJ also cried when Kaitlyn told him that he was not the one, and toward the end of the show, Chris ended up sobbing when Kaitlyn told him that her heart was elsewhere.
But Chris seemed to have a clear insight on where Kaitlyn stands. He told the camera that she doesn't seem to know what she really wants, and although she deserves happiness, "I'm not sure she's ready to find that yet."
Even host Chris Harrison told Kaitlyn that he didn't think that she's ready for the hometown dates, so it was decided that she'd go on overnight dates with the final three, but only the final two would make it to their hometowns.
For weeks, there have been rumors that the final two would be Nick and Shawn. Last week, Kaitlyn got intimate with Nick, but this week, she admitted to Shawn that she's in love with him. Last month, Reality Steve said that Kaitlyn would end up being the female Brad Womack because she would be choosing neither of the two — instead, she would reportedly choose to be alone.
But on June 15, Reality Steve posted an update, telling "The Bachelorette" fans to disregard his previous spoiler because Kaitlyn will reportedly choose Shawn. The site referred to a Snapchat which Kaitlyn sent out on Friday, June 13, showing her and Shawn. Since filming for the latest season of the show wrapped up weeks before the Snapchat video circulated online, and since it is impossible to upload old videos on Snapchat, the website said that the video posted by Kaitlyn was happening at that moment.
As of the moment, ABC has no comment on whether or not Kaitlyn has really chosen Shawn over her other suitors.
"The Bachelorette" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
