A man withdraws from the show after it's announced that Kaitlyn Bristowe is the new bachelorette because his heart is with Britt Nilsson.
- May 20, 2015
AceShowbiz - "The Bachelorette" returned with the second part of the two-night premiere on Tuesday, May 19. Picking up where the Monday episode left off, the second episode of season 11 began with host Chris Harrison revealing the vote result. He announced that Kaitlyn Bristowe is the new bachelorette with a "very close" vote.
Chris H. escorted Britt Nilsson to a car and she cried in the car. In a new interview with PEOPLE about the elimination, she admits, "I was in a state of shock. I was a little numb and then of course the other feelings started coming. I wasn't chosen, that's rejection. That's kind of embarrassing."
She thinks it's a shame that she didn't get a chance to say goodbye to the guys, including some guys with whom she felt strong attraction. "There were a lot of confusing emotions," she adds. "I felt like I had connections with some people, and it felt like a shame that since it wasn't the majority, I don't get to meet any of them. It was a pretty rough night."
Still, Britt says "there is no resentment" because "it worked out the way it's supposed to." The 27-year-old waitress adds, "I feel like I was saved from something that obviously wasn't supposed to be my journey." She also still supports Kaitlyn, saying, "I think everyone will be rooting for Kaitlyn. She's a really sweet person and she's great for TV. I want the best for her and I know she wants the best for me."
Back to the "Bachelorette" mansion, Kaitlyn got to know the suitors, minus Ryan M. who got cut on the Monday episode for being drunk and rude, better at a cocktail party. Joshua gave her a metal rose, while Jared admitted he picked Britt but he would like to get to know Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn kissed Chris and some other guys, and gave the first impression rose to Shawn B. She told Shawn B., "I'm really attracted to you" and "can't wait to take you on a date."
Kaitlyn was handing out roses to different men when Brady wanted to talk to her in private. He said his heart was with Britt and wanted to leave to see if the two of them might work out. While Brady quit the show, Shawn E., Josh, David and Bradley got eliminated.
