‘The Bachelorette’ spoilers: Ben Higgins, Nick Viall, and other Kaitlyn Bristowe dates in Ireland

For the third straight episode, it appears that Monday night’s new episode of “The Bachelorette” is going to be one that is set entirely in Ireland. Not only that, but it is the umpteenth one where there is drama around just about every corner. In a way, this is what happens when you’ve got two guys left in Nick Viall and Shawn Booth who plain don’t like each other. Not only that, but you have the challenge of basically eliminating half of the field, and you have already sent home Cupcake Chris in a pile of his own tears.

For a tease at some of the dates that you can expect to see in the episode, just take a look at the synopsis below:

“Kaitlyn’s dreams of finding true love may be unraveling after saying a crushing goodbye to one of her favorite bachelors, Chris. Are her past mistakes starting to catch up with her, jeopardizing her relationships with the other men? There also is the impending decision about which men she will take on overnight dates. Ben H. helps to lighten Kaitlyn’s mood as they go on a date to historic Innisfallen Island, however, a group date with Joe, Nick and Shawn to beautiful Killarney National Park leads to unexpected drama and heartache.”

There are two questions after reading this that you really should wonder to yourself.

1. Is there going to be a good chance that Nick and Shawn murder each other during this date? It has to be no coincidence that production has paired them up this late in the season.

2. Is there any chance at all that Joe makes the overnight dates? It really doesn’t seem like it at the moment.

While we may be entertained by some of these antics, it could be hard at this point for the show to alleviate some of the concerns that we have about this season overall, which you can read about over at the link here.
