The Bachelorette 11 Selection

THE BACHELORETTE
TWO SEARCH FOR LOVE

ABC’s hit romantic reality series, “The Bachelorette,” will kick off its 11th season continuing the surprises of this season’s “Bachelor” with the biggest one of all: there will be two Bachelorettes: the charming, charismatic beauty, Britt, who captivated Chris Soules and the rest of Bachelor Nation with a memorable hug on that first night at the Bachelor mansion, and Kaitlyn, the gorgeous, fun-loving, warm-hearted, but irreverent firecracker who let down her guard only to have her heart crushed. Who will the men prefer? Eventually, only one woman will be left to hand out the final rose. “The Bachelorette” returns to ABC, premiering MONDAY, MAY 18 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.


It was the hug felt around the world. And no one will ever forget it. When stunning Britt Nilsson pulled up at the Bachelor Mansion and approached Chris, she was trembling with nervous anticipation. Moments later, she found herself in an embrace that captured both Chris’ and the country’s heart. Later that night, Chris confirmed the intensity of that embrace when he handed Britt the coveted first impression rose. And with that, a love affair began to blossom.

As Chris’s journey evolved, no one—certainly none of the other girls—could deny the connection between Britt and the handsome farmer. Their kisses were passionate, their conversations intimate. However, what seemed like true love all came to a screeching halt just before hometown dates. Britt’s dream of finding a husband was shattered. She left in tears, returning to her hometown in Michigan to mend her heart with her loving family by her side.

Born just outside Detroit, Michigan, Britt eventually moved to Los Angeles to attend college at Azusa Pacific University. After school, she stayed in California, moving to Hollywood to pursue a career in modeling. After giving up modeling, Britt worked as a waitress, spreading her infectious personality while serving others. She also began volunteering at a local church, where you can often find her greeting congregants at the door. 

Since she left the show, America just can’t stop talking about Britt – and she is back and determined to find the elusive, true love she has been looking for her entire life. She knows that this process worked once for her, and she can’t wait to give it another go. 


And then there is Kaitlyn Bristowe. Millions watched in quiet astonishment when Chris explained to a heartbroken Kaitlyn that she was not the woman with whom he would be spending the rest of his life. Her eyes brimming with tears, she stepped inside a waiting car to head back to her single life.


Kaitlyn is truly one of a kind. She’s beautiful, irreverent, and undeniably hilarious. In the past, however, her playful demeanor has often kept her from opening up and being vulnerable to love. It was her experience on the Bachelor that helped her finally tap into that part of her heart that had been dormant for so long. Even though she went home without the love she was so desperately looking for, Kaitlyn is thankful for her time with Chris. And now—more than ever—she is ready to let down those walls and find love again.


The daughter of a ballerina, Kaitlyn’s love of dance took hold at a very young age, and she hasn’t stopped moving since, neither figuratively nor literally. Currently, she teaches spin classes. However, Kaitlyn’s ready to trade in the cycling shoes and the gym for a pair of sparkly high heels and a house near the Bachelor mansion. Viewers were thankful for the laughs and smiles she gave them along the way, as her electric personality and indelible sense of humor lit up the screen each week. Kaitlyn was a huge fan favorite from the beginning, and remains so to this day. She is one hundred percent certain that this is the way she is going to find her husband, and wants everyone to share this once-in-a-lifetime ride with her.


Hosted by Chris Harrison, “The Bachelorette” is a production of Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. Mike Fleiss, Martin Hilton and Alycia Rossiter are the executive producers. “The Bachelorette” is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 stereo surround sound.

Hopefully, the bachelors will see through Britt and send her packing the first night.  JMHO.

I would hope so, too, newto.  I'm debating whether or not to watch.  I'm leaning toward not.

SLA, barring death or a serious illness, I doubt there's any way to get out of a contract with these people.  Consider how "muzzled" everyone is about the manipulations that go on.  Someone could make a fortune on a book revealing producer influence on what is shown.  But I agree with your assessment of what the show is likely to be.  CH is the one who wanted Britt.  Just like he wanted Andi.  His taste in women is obviously at odds with the rest of the populace.

As I said on the other thread, I'm sick of these shows "evolving."  What they really do is ruin a good thing.  I agree with the woman on Yahoo.  Things went to hell after Des' season.

CH has become the Jerry Springer of romance.  He tried like hell on the WTA to stir the pot.  And he expects people to continue to view him as the kindly mentor???  Where I once saw him as such, he's now a man chasing sensation, sadistic and mean-spirited.  All for ratings.  The man doesn't seem to understand that, for die-hard fans, he and Fleiss have killed this show.

I think I might have just finished the job of talking myself into getting off this "love" train.  lol.

rkc, CH and Fleiss deserve a mass boycott of this show.  I wonder if people who don't frequent the forums are as in-tune as those who do.  On the ABC board, things are pointed out that I might not have noticed when it played.

If the other networks elected to put a quality show in this time slot (along with a message board -lol-), I think they might be surprised by how many people would desert this franchise.

They shot themselves in the foot with JP.  The other foot with Andi.  Now, as many believe, they're ready to blow off something else with Britt.  CH spoke of "heated debates" over who would be the next 'ette.  Is he the one who was "hot" to have Britt?

Everything that CH said after Britt was eliminated pointed to how much he wanted Britt as the next 'ette. The funny thing was that the only reason he gave for her deserving the gig was that she is pretty and that the guys would be clamoring to have a shot with her. Seriously? What kind of slimy statement is that? A woman is beautiful so therefore she should get the job. I just lost a lot more respect for him for saying that.


I would love to see one of the other networks put a great show on up against this one and watch the Bachelor/ette fade off into the sunset. The problem is that there are too many mindless people still watching this series and the networks are afraid of that. I would love to see The Walking Dead switched from Sundays to that same time slot on Mondays and that would take care of it. LOL

Speaking of good shows, has anyone else been watching that new show on Sundays called Secrets and Lies? I am already becoming addicted to it.

Byron Velvick and Jay Overbye were unknowns; new to the franchise.  In my mind, at the time, there was no doubt Byron would be chosen as the Bach.

On the other hand here we have two recycled women, both of whom have shown their basic personalities to us and have been sent home from the series.  I cannot help but feel there will be bitterness no matter what happens.

In the meantime, maybe you could make a banner of Chris and Whitney.  Just a suggestion FWIW.

I really don't want to look at Britt, bach.  I saw enough of her.  And I'm too old to be jealous of her!!  lol.

I'll try to find a good picture of them together and put it up there.

JP is now giving his opinion on having two Bachelorettes....

rkc, when I saw the promos for Secrets & Lies, I put it on my DVR.  However, the more promos I saw, the less I wanted to see it.  Too much anger and chaos for my frame of mind right now.  But I've been watching American Crime with Timothy Hutton.  I don't know if the injustice there will hold me for very long.  I think I'm just easily bored these days.  I want a beginning and end each week so I don't have to linger.  Funny, I never had ADHD.  lol.

You're right about TWD.  If they put this opposite, the Bach would be blown out of the water.

As for the coming 'Ette season, it's like presenting two candidates to the senior class:  The cheerleader vs. the average girl.  If these guys didn't watch the season, they'll feel lucky to get the cheerleader. 

There are fans who argue blindly for Britt and think she deserves this shot.  I can only think they're naive.  But I have no say.  lol.

I can't speak for everyone, but I'm curious as to whom it might be.

E! asked 25 random guys which one they'd pick for the next 'ette based on their pics alone. Some of the answers are pretty humorous....

At this point, I don't think either of these young ladies is looking for a long-term committed relationship.  I don't care for Britt, so I hope the bachelorette is Kaitlyn.  JMHO.
