‘The Bachelorette’ CarterMatt Podcast: On Nick Viall v. Shawn Booth, ‘Bachelor’ chatter with Jessa
Somehow, we are already near the end of “The Bachelorette” this season. Time flies when you are having fun / podcasting about shows! This season has been especially insane, and the latest CarterMatt Podcast with Matt Carter and Jessa touches on some of that.
With that said, this past episode was one of the more boring ones of the season, probably just because most of the guys left are serious contenders and are not just out there to cause shenanigans … though to be fair we do have tow guys in Nick Viall and Shawn Booth who really don’t like each other. The vast majority of our focus here is on these two, but we also give you some quick impressions on some of the other guys in this episode.
Joe – Pretty quiet edit, but his exit may be one of the most realistic ever. If you put yourself out there, possibly at the producers’ request, to get sent home minutes later, that has to make you angry.
Jared – Very classy. He clearly cared a lot about her, but for whatever reason she just could not bring herself to feel the same way. At least he has “Bachelor in Paradise” coming up to look forward to here.
Ben H. – With one episode and some skepticism over sex, we feel like he is suddenly the runaway favorite to be the “Bachelor.” After all the controversy this season and really many past seasons over sex, his attitude may be viewed by some as a different take and a change.

Great Podcast, guys! I would have kept Ben H. Jared, and Nick. Shawn is too needy and too much of a baby. Grow up and man up, Shawn! I don’t see it lasting between Kaitlyn and Shawn. If there was a strong connection there and she was ready to get married to Shawn, she wouldn’t have taken steps back with him Time will tell with them. Also, with Ashley and Shawn and even Des, those 3 made no secret who they were into and carried through with it. The Brooks issue in Des’s season made it interesting at the end of her season. She is married to Chris S now and she was into him on her season. Chris was not Desire’s second choice. I always thought that Chris was the best guy for Des. Thank goodness that she saw it too. Also, Joe “If you do not get a 1 on 1 date, the lead isn’t into you.”

Shawn is way too immature, if she picks him she’s in for a long road while he grows up imho. Kaitlyn has taken so many steps backwards with the men she was into and it’s just all feeling a little forced now. I don’t think she’s going to last with who ever she chooses, but I hope she does eventually find someone. they really need to find another woman like Ashley for the lead next time around, someone very open and will put herself out there in a big way.
