The 11th season of “The Bachelorette” is almost near the finish line with Kaitlyn Bristowe down to two choices in her quest for true love. Bristowe is only choosing between Shawn Booth and Nick Viall.
Last episode, Bristowe eliminated Ben Higgins, the software salesman in an emotional episode where the 29-year-old ran out of the rose ceremony, crying, before finally making the decision. The elimination leaves Booth, who is a personal trainer and Viall, a software sales executive, vying for Bristowe’s heart, according to Christian Today.
After the ceremony, Bristowe traveled with Viall and Booth to Utah to meet their families. Viall’s family expressed concern about him participating in the show for the second time. The software sales executive asked to be casted on the show mid-season after meeting Bristowe in social media.
Bristowe explained to Viall’s family how they bonded and how they balance each other out. After meeting Viall’s family, Bristowe walked away feeling elated and thought the family is incredible, ABC news reported. Bristowe also met with Booth’s family, including his father, sisters, and aunt. Bristowe said to the family she has an instantaneous attraction with Booth.
Booth’s family were confident and said they could feel the love between Bristowe and Booth. The personal trainer’s father said to his son that he is 100 percent behind him. In a private moment, Booth told Bristowe that he is in love with her and it has been for quite some time already.
Bristowe had an overnight date with Booth and brought him to a golf course where the bachelorette gave Booth a pink polo shirt.
Viall and Booth are noted rivals and have feuded with each other during the season. In the show’s latest episode, Booth confronted Viall, telling him that he is fake. Viall replied about Booth being Eskimo brothers with a country star that resulted to Booth storming out, Hollywood Take reported.
Following their heated exchange, Viall tried to talk with Booth in a man-to-man conversation but Booth rejected Viall’s attempt. He said he does not want to see him and kicked Viall out of his room. Bristowe said she has been affected by the Viall-Booth rift and said their feud was taking away some of the things that she was feeling for both of them.
There was also the controversy surrounding Higgins, who was only a runner-up, but everyone thought he had a good chance to be engaged to Bristowe. The bachelorette had an overnight date with Higgins, they went horseback riding and fed some donkeys. Then they had a picnic date at a 19th-century castle. Higgins confessed to Bristowe that he was falling in love with her and Bristowe replied that the software salesman was a comforting guy.
Bristowe asked Higgins if he was comfortable spending the night with her and Higgins replied that he hated the fact that there are other people involved but was comfortable with her. Higgins said to Bristowe that when he looked at her, he thought that he wanted to be with Bristowe forever. Higgins called the experience as the best sleepover ever.
After the overnight date, Bristowe admitted that she have never been more confused in her whole life. But Higgins would eventually be eliminated.
In other news, there are swirling rumors saying that Bristowe is pregnant and Viall is the father, according to Realty Today. While there are reports that Bristowe will end up choosing Booth at the season’s finale, Bristowe is rumored to be pregnant during the taping of Season 11.
