‘The Bachelorette’ spoilers: Nick Viall, Ian Thomson, Shawn Booth among Kaitlyn Bristowe suitors to watch

Shawn B -We’re getting close to the end of “The Bachelorette” this season, and there are quite a few surprises that the show has in store for us as we start to move beyond San Antonio into the great unknown. At least a couple more contestants will be eliminated, and some of the most controversial moments of the season await us sooner rather than later.

So who are the most important Kaitlyn Bristowe suitors going into this episode? As we often do here at CarterMatt, the purpose for this article is to give you a little bit more in the way of information when it comes to that right now. There are no major spoilers ahead, so read on with confidence.

Nick Viall – How can you not include Nick, given that his supposed sleeping with Kaitlyn is going to spark a whole new wave of controversy and drama with the other guys? More than likely, someone’s head is going to explode.

Shawn Booth – Could that someone be Shawn? He’s shown himself to be a frontrunner, but at the same time he’s had some tough conversations with Kaitlyn about Nick already.

Ian Thomson – Ian is still having a “tough conversation” with her, one that is probably going to end with either her kicking him out or him leaving. This is the thing with Ian: There could’ve been a way for him to go about this where we would have still sympathized with him. We like him a lot the first few weeks. However, he is overly aggressive towards her, and he comes across as a conceited jerk in confessionals. Any goodwill he could have had, he’s already lost.

Ben Zorn – Previews shown Ben Z. and Kaitlyn having a big moment together at the group date in Ireland, and he may need some sort of boost at the moment given that he was starting to fall off the radar a little bit.

Jared Haibon – Jared has been shown having some alone time with Kaitlyn in this episode, which to us means that either he sneaks her off on a group date or that he may be one of the first to get two one-on-ones this season. Either way, it is intriguing.
