‘The Bachelorette’: Kaitlyn Bristowe spends time with Whitney Bischoff, Becca Tilley from Chris Soules’ season

While there is a new episode of “The Bachelorette” airing on ABC Monday night, why wait that long to discuss a few assorted headlines when it comes to Kaitlyn Bristowe? Days after her Snapchat habits led to a massive controversy about whether or not she accidentally revealed the winner of the show, she managed to get in a little bit of an early birthday celebration with some people she spent a whole lot of time with on Chris Soules’ season of the show: Becca Tilley and the eventual winner Whitney Bischoff. Whitney and Chris did end up splitting, but the three remained good friends throughout the experience.

One thing that is easy to forget about when you have a show like “The Bachelor” is that the majority of the time the contestants spend is with each other. For a number of reasons, they really only have a tiny bit of time with the series lead, and therefore can forge really tight friendships even if they do not end up winning. This is what seems to have transpired here.

The three ladies spent some time in Chicago, which is where Whitney lives. Ironically, it’s also where Nick Viall resides. Nick is still a contestant on Kaitlyn’s season going into tonight’s new episode, and there is of course more potential for him to ruffle a few feathers.

We’ll be back with a whole lot more in the way of “Bachelorette” news tonight as always, so be on the lookout for some of that in the near future.
