‘The Bachelorette’ finale: Chris Harrison on Kaitlyn Bristowe, Shawn Booth connection

It’s almost funny seeing where we are right now going into the finale for “The Bachelorette” Monday night. We’re not sure that there has ever been a final two as lopsided as Shawn Booth and Nick Viall, at least in terms of who most of Bachelor Nation is rooting for to win Kaitlyn Bristowe’s heart. We’ve been a little more of a Nick apologist than most, but we’re not surprised to see the majority of contestants on this season get behind Shawn as the right guy for her.

While Chris Harrison is not one to publicly take sides in terms of picking a winner, he is still making it fairly clear himself that he seems where the connection is coming from between Kaitlyn and Shawn. As a matter of fact, he even commented on it further by saying the following to Us Weekly after the taping for “The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All” this past week:

“From the minute he got out of the limo, [they] just had this thing together and they’ve had this amazing romance … I think she wants to take care of Shawn. Even telling him about her thing with Nick, that was an odd attempt to take care of him, to be his caretaker. You can tell she deeply loves him.”

If Kaitlyn does pick Shawn, this is a tremendous step forward for the two of them as they start to build towards some sort of life together. However, at the same exact time the two do have to realize that this is just a beginning and not anything else. They will now have to deal with media scrutiny and speculation that follows any pair from this show.
