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

There is little doubt to us that much of this weekend when it comes to “The Bachelorette” has been taken over in part by various stories discussing the end of the series (and Kaitlyn Bristowe’s Snapchat account at the same time). We’ll have a link to that at the end of this article if you are curious.

Now that we’ve said that, we do at least still want to spend a few minutes doing our weekly tradition of “suitors to watch,” mostly because there’s a little bit of value to watching some individual journeys. It does not matter so much if they are going to win this show in the end; these are at least the people we are meant to observe, and these in turn are the people who could return at some point for a “Bachelor in Paradise” or some other series depending on what casting decides.

Ian Thomson – Previews show that he and Kaitlyn have a tense conversation at some point soon. While we don’t seem him freaking out like Kupah, he does call her a surface-level person, and that is not something you say to someone you are interested in being with.

Ben Higgins – We know that he has a one-on-one date coming, and anytime someone has that, it automatically makes them into someone who should at least be looked at as a potential contender for romance.

Nick Viall – He’s Nick. He is always going to be a focus in one way or another.

Shawn Booth – He’s the recipient of the other one-on-one date in the episode, so suffice it to say that you’ll be seeing a whole lot of him.

Chris Strandburg – While he’s not coming off a one-on-one date per se, “Cupcake” still has spent a good bit of time with Kaitlyn and could be a contender.
