The Bachelorette: Kaitlyn – After the Final Rose recap

If you don’t want to be spoiled on what happened during the finale of The Bachelorette then stop reading right now.

So we just watched the shocking finale of The Bachelorette where Kaitlyn chose Shawn which completely shocked me, and obviously shocked the hell out of Nick.  So now we get to watch more awkwardness as they sit down together to rehash everything on “After the Final Rose.”

Kaitlyn and Shawn come out to greet Chris Harrison and the audience goes crazy.  Kaitlyn is crazy happy and she said it really feels like Christmas morning getting to be with Shawn today and have it open in the public.

Nick has come to the stage, first without Kaitlyn or Shawn on there with him.  Just Chris Harrison and Nick.  Nick said that he just went into it with a lot of trust and he chose to be that way… he didn’t want to be cynical.  He said that they were communicating about a month before Day 1 of filming The Bachelorette.  She didn’t know yet that it was going to be her as The Bachelorette.  He said they got to know each other really well through phone calls and texts.  He’s sorry that the tension between he and Shawn brought out their immaturity.

Shawn comes out on stage to join Nick and it’s awkward as all get out.  Nick said that he was frustrated because Shawn never took the time to get to know him and was basing his feelings based on what he saw on Andi’s season.  Shawn denies ever being jealous of Nick.  I don’t know who he thinks he’s fooling… he was clearly jealous, but that’s okay…. just own up to it.  Shawn says that he does regret that their feud took up so much of the season instead of the love story that was going on.

Kaitlyn then comes out to join Nick on the uncomfortable couch.  Nick questions her on why she said I love you if that wasn’t what she was feeling.  She said she was having feelings of love but they just weren’t as strong as what she was feeling for Shawn.

They roll the clip of Kaitlyn rejecting Nick again… it’s still heartbreaking.  Nick says that he the words he shared with you just before he proposed were meant for someone else.  Were meant for someone who felt the same way back.  Nick kind of grills her about choosing the moment of the proposal time as the time to break up with him.  Any time would have been a better time than that time to break up.

Shawn comes back out to join Kaitlyn and he says the best thing about getting up tomorrow is that he can start defending her.  He says she doesn’t deserve any of the cyberbullying or any of that.  Hope they’re happy together even though I still wish it was Nick.

Oh and then the preview of Bachelor in Paradise looks AMAZING!  I can’t wait!  Starts this Sunday!  Someone says to Ashley I “wait, you’re not a virgin?! Not only that but you might be pregnant?!”  Awesome!
