‘The Bachelorette’ review: Brady Toops’ big Britt Nilsson move, Shawn Booth’s shining moment

After we got the news out of the way officially that Kaitlyn Bristowe is going to be the next Bachelorette, she finally got down to business Monday night. Specifically, this meant for her having to figure out how she wanted to handle being a part of this show! While this series is for the most part rather ridiculous, there are still a few assorted rules of the road for how to handle the experience.

One of them for Kaitlyn was figuring out just how she wants to hand out the First Impression Rose. Everybody wants one, but she still has to figure out just how she wants to hand it out. Are we surprised that she chose Shawn Booth? Not exactly. She had a big moment with him in the first part of the premiere, and for the most part he has what she is looking for: He is good-looking, hard working, and seems genuinely interested in her.

The biggest surprise of the night was not really who was sent home by Kaitlyn, but rather who chose to leave under their own accord. Brady Toops made it very clear immediately that he was there in order to try to be with Britt, and after she left, he made the decision to say farewell for now in an event to try to date her himself. It’s a bold move, but we respect it! Clearly, he is not there for fame or to be the Bachelor, and he really should be the guy everyone looks up to in future seasons.

The rest of the night went off more or less without a hitch. Maybe some people are worried that Kaitlyn will be a Bachelorette not as sincere into the process, but for the time being, we’re fine with her. It still feels like the same show. Grade: B.
