AceShowbiz - Kaitlyn Bristowe continued to struggle with her mixed feelings after having sex with Nick Viall on "The Bachelorette". In the latest episode airing on Monday, June 29, she had to assure Shawn B. about her feelings for him, while fearing that he might know what happened between her and Nick. Shawn was seemingly convinced when Kaitlyn told him, "I'm falling in love with you."
To the camera, Kaitlyn admitted, "I feel guilty." She added, "The guilt comes from where my relationships are with other people, and my feelings for Shawn are, at this point, overwhelming. I don't want to hurt him. I don't want to hurt anybody. I just feel awful. I just don't feel like I had to have gone there with Nick." She tearfully said, "It feels wrong."
Kaitlyn had no time to think about it too much as she had a two-on-one date with J.J. and Joe. The date was awkward with both guys trying to winning the heart of the Bachelorette. They started it off by riding a boat and enjoying the scenery of a beach.
Joe got some alone time with Kaitlyn first and he dropped the "L" word. "I've never felt this way about someone else this fast, this quick, this passionate, never," he confessed. "I can't get enough of you, Kaitlyn, because I'm falling in love with you." They made out.
When it was J.J.'s turn, he opened up that he had screwed up his marriage which led to a divorce. "Three years ago I cheated on my wife," he revealed. "I made a mistake that basically destroyed my life. I lost everything. I love my wife. I lost my daughter half the time." The reaction was not what he had expected as Kaitlyn said, "I'm not going to lie; that is my biggest fear in a relationship," before sending him home.
Kaitlyn continued the date with Joe and she gave him a rose.
Shawn was again unhappy when Joe returned with a rose. He confronted Kaitlyn again and she admitted, "I really made a mess of things," without revealing her intimate moment with Nick. She told him that they had to go through this uncomfortable process before they reached their ultimate goal. Shawn then promised that he would "work on being better at this whole thing."
After Shawn left, Kaitlyn told the camera, "It worries me that Shawn needs all this reassurance and there are still things he doesn't know."
Finally, it was time for rose ceremony. Kaitlyn opened the party by telling the guys that she was imperfect and made some mistakes, without going into the details. Ben H. then had some alone time with Kaitlyn and asked her about the night Shawn spoke to her off-camera and he got "some type of validation." Ben H. said, "I just want to know that if I'm going to be here and if we're going to continue on with this that this isn't just me spinning my wheels."
Kaitlyn responded, "That night has really altered everything for me, and not in a great way... I feel extremely, extremely disappointed in myself for putting you both in that situation." Ben H. was pleased with her response and they kissed.
Meanwhile, during a chat with Nick, Kaitlyn basically told him not to spill to the other guys about what happened between them. "I know why I'm here. We want the same thing. When it's all over ... all this stuff won't be around," Nick told Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn then handed out the remaining roses to Ben H., Chris and Shawn, sending Tanner and Ben Z. packing. Ben Z. felt "blindsided." He said, "I really thought we had something really good. It sucks. It really, really sucks. She's such an awesome girl, and you're like, 'Man, this is going somewhere,' then it just gets ripped away. It's been a while since I felt like this."
The episode continued with a road trip to their next destination in Ireland, Killarney. Jared got to drive with Kaitlyn while the other guys rode on a bus. Jared and Kaitlyn kissed the Blarney Stone and then kissed each other.
Next, Chris Harrison showed up to have a conversation with Kaitlyn. He thought that Kaitlyn wasn't ready for hometown dates, so he dropped the big news. "This week you're going to narrow it down to three guys and you're going to go straight into the intimate overnight dates," he said. Chris H. told Kaitlyn to spend more time off-camera with the guys before meeting the families of the selected two guys.
After the host Chris H. broke the news to the guys, Chris felt the pressure during a date with Kaitlyn. They enjoyed a romantic helicopter ride and even made out, but she admitted, "I just feel that my heart is elsewhere right now and I just don't know if I see us being together forever and I don't want to lead anyone on," and then dumped him.
As he left, Chris said Kaitlyn was "a mess." He added, "She deserves a lifetime of happiness and I'm not sure she's ready to find that yet."
