saber5055 July 30, 2015 Share July 30, 2015 Nightline did a short interview with Nick last night. They showed Nick tossing the ring in the limo, then showed the clip of Shawn and Kaitlyn on GMA making fun of Nick doing that, Kaitlyn braying like a donkey while Shawn said Nick did a lousy throw, he would have done an overhead toss. That clip made me ... dislike is too weak of a word ... those two. To quote Mr. Wonderful, they are dead to me. They are people who thrive on belittling others. Nick was very articulate in the interview, said he might consider it if he's asked to be TB, but with his track record he should decline. He isn't dating anyone now. The interviewer said Nick is way better looking in person, and called Shawn a "pudgy Ryan Gosling." I guess I don't see the Ryan Gosling thing, Nightline must have gotten that comparison from online places, like here. Then the interview ended with a big #TEAM NICK! on the screen. In all, it was very positive and I like Nick once again, even if he does have TERRIBLE taste in women. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/11/#findComment-1372318

truthaboutluv July 31, 2015 Share July 31, 2015 (edited) Here's Nick's reaction to Kaitlyn and Shawn being a-holes: http://www.starpulse...en-date-night-w Okay, I try not to judge people I don't know personally too harshly (and some edited hours of footage does not include knowing any of these people imo) but I am constantly amazed that Kaitlyn is 30. I remember when I told my friend who watched the season but doesn't read the boards, that Kaitlyn was 30, she thought I was lying. Towards the end of the season, she summed it best in my opinion, that Kaitlyn just gives a wild sorority girl impression rather than anyone close to settling down and having kids. I remember when I saw the short SnapChat video of her and Shawn that spoiled the season, I remember thinking they looked like two people who'd picked each other up at a bar and were filming themselves post-coital. And reading this article is just further feeding that impression to me. I mean what the hell were those pictures? I found someone's comment under the article interesting - that this would end in a TMZ story about some altercation when Kaitlyn wilds out and probably inappropriately flirts with someone and Shawn loses his mind. Of course, as I've been saying from the beginning, you never know and they may be perfect for each other in a sort "we're so wrong, we're right" and actually be one of the couples from the franchise who makes it (again, not holding my breath though).

truthaboutluv August 1, 2015 Share August 1, 2015 (edited) Love it! Nick looks completely wasted drinking straight from the bottle, and Kaitlyn looks ready for sexnastics in her sexy black gym peignoir. First fight, anyone? I'm going to assume you meant Shawn? But speaking of Nick and watching this video/collection of social media pictures of Shawn and Kaitlyn, it does beg the question of how Nick, who was so into Andi, could have been into Kaitlyn. And it definitely proves that annoying though they may be, Kaitlyn definitely picked the best guy for her. They seem on the same level mentally and emotionally and that's not a particularly high level, for the record. Of course, to be honest, I never believed Nick's claims of love during the season or most of what he said to Kaitlyn. I just never bought a great connection between them. Like however I felt about her, I absolutely believed Nick had very real feelings for Andi and I believed he was truly blindsided and heartbroken when she didn't pick him. I didn't get that with Kaitlyn. Even his reaction after her letting him go, complete with the ring toss she and her "fiance" have made so much fun of, I thought he seemed a little annoyed, but that's it. I'm not saying I necessarily believed Nick was insincere about anything and only wanted to get back on television but like I said in an episode thread, this may have been a case of the reality didn't match up to the fantasy. They only really talked on the phone and it may have been enough for him to build up this idea of who Kaitlyn was, because the situation didn't have a chance to get clouded by sex and too much drinking and whatever else. But once he got in the competition and was physically present with her, the sides of her that wouldn't work for him came out but I think being competitive and wanting to win made him stick out and even try to convince himself he was in love. But I don't buy it and it's good she didn't pick him because they wouldn't have lasted either.

seasick August 9, 2015 Share August 9, 2015 It's obvious this girl is a major drinker. It's always party time which is why she has no time for any career. I think Shawn had his party hearty days but perhaps was trying to temper / escape that with working out and taking whatever they take to get pumped up. I expect he will be carrying a good-sized paunch in a couple of months. And those "hey we're drinking which means we're "partying woo! woo!" snaps. from their room is actually rather pathetic. It does get old when that's the only way you know to entertain yourself. A fishing vacation? That's usually days of heavy drinking with a hook in the water. Not for everyone..but it has been my experience that it's often just another reason to spend the day getting wasted.. I don't see too many, if any, young relationships that survive a lot of drinking. They are usually the couple who always ends up fighting, belittling each other etc. and you dread having them around because it's all so embarrassing. Older couples are just too worn out and run-over to move on. Boozing every night is expensive too. We'll see if they have the money to even take a vacation unless it's with her parents and they are providing the accommodations etc. Like everyone else I give them a month or two after the media storm is over. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/11/#findComment-1400109

I thought for a while that the reason for all the changes this season might be that Kaitlyn was hard to control, and getting drunk a lot. It fits with a lot, including her saying that she "lives in the moment", and her talking about "going too far" with Nick. A lot of her conversations with the guys were just make-out sessions, with very little talking shown on tv. I think the producers and editors had to work hard to not let us see how much she was drinking, and how it was affecting her behavior. There were lots of hints along the way, though.

Can't help but wonder why the Bachelor merits an invite while the Bachelorette doesn't. Before someone mentions Juan Pablo, I would like to point out that his offer was rescinded. Trista was the only Bachette ever invited, but I have a feeling that was because the show was just launching and they were desperate.

And apparently Jillian, former Bachelorette lead, revealed in some interview that she was asked to be on after her season but turned it down and has regretted it ever since. I really think it is as simple as the timing of the shows. ABC literally goes from the finale of the Bachelor, right into the premiere of DWTS' spring season. So the Bachelor lead and his pick are still in the media and somewhat relevant. That's not the case with the Bachelorette. The show ends in the summer and it's weeks, a whole month and a half actually before DWTS comes back. At that point no one cares. Now granted, looking at this hot mess cast this season, I can't say Kaitlyn's insignificance would be that different but let's face it, in her case, she really wasn't very popular or liked by the general public. That probably didn't help. Edited September 2, 2015 by truthaboutluv 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/11/#findComment-1470525
FireFoxy September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 (edited) I'm cackling at her not being on the show. You just know she was waiting with baited breath to get the invite. I'm sure Shawn is bummed too since those 2 can't seem to get enough of the spotlight.

MakeMeLaugh September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 (edited) I can't stand her but too bad she isn't going to be on--the new DWTS cast is not interesting at all to me, and at least if KB was on I could have hate-watched, since I think her "dance instructor" profession is just something Show had to make up as a career for her, so I would have been childishly and pathetically thrilled to hear the judges rip her apart. The injured Peta being his imaginary girlfriend, Mr MML doesn't care about this season either. There are probably more women "stars" who want to be on this show than men so the Bachelors have less competition in getting a spot. Of course I have no basis for this belief.

truthaboutluv September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 (edited) Please keep in mind that every year while there is only one season of The Bachelor (January), there are two seasons of DWTS (March and Sept). I am aware but DWTS didn't premiere until 2005, while The Bachelor has been on since 2002. That's why I didn't count the 20 Bachelor leads because when the show first started, DWTS wasn't even on yet.

chocolatine September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 I, for one, am glad. There's only one person from Kaitlyn's season I wouldn't mind seeing on TV again, and that person is getting his own Bachelor season.
