The Bachelorette, Kaitlyn Bristowe, takes her final three guys on overnight dates on week 8 (July 5), and fans are anxious to find out what really happens inside the Fantasy Suite. Who does Kaitlyn sleep with, and who leaves Ireland single and ready to mingle as the (rumored) next Bachelor ?
Warning – spoilers ahead.
Fans can expect a drama-filled episode, complete with bro-fights, jealousy, and the word “trust” used repeatedly throughout Monday night’s show. According to ABC, Shawn Booth , Ben Higgins, and Nick Viall stay in Ireland for overnight dates and will all be offered a key to the Fantasy Suite.
It’s a no-brainer that Nick is going to take the key and go in for a second round of horizontal mambo with Kaitlyn, but will Shawn and Ben follow suit? According to Reality Steve , all three men accept Kaitlyn’s offer to stay the night with her, but it’s not certain if she has sex, plays cards, or talks about Nick the entire time.
However, there is speculation that cameras may be present on Kaitlyn’s overnight dates, making for yet another uncomfortable segment for viewers to watch. In the July 6 issue of Life and Style , an insider reveals that at least one date was interrupted by the show’s production team, much like they did during Kaitlyn’s hotel romp with Nick earlier in the season. Will viewers have to once again listen in during Kaitlyn’s intimate moments with one of her guys? Hopefully not.
Little is known about Nick’s night with Kaitlyn, but judging from his one-on-one date with her in Dublin, their night in the Fantasy Suite will be smoking hot. Will their physical connection be enough for Kaitlyn to keep him for hometown dates? Spoilers indicate that he ends up as one of the final two, so fans can assume all went well during the overnights.
ABC teases that Shawn’s overnight with Kaitlyn gets off to a rocky start after Nick reveals something negative about him. This causes plenty of drama, and producers will undoubtedly pull another “to be continued” and wrap up the overnight on week 9 (July 13).
Fans who are hoping Shawn makes it another week can rest easy despite the creative editing. Reality Steve states that he is certain Shawn makes it to the final rose ceremony , so the drama may have been created by producers to keep viewers wondering if the spoilers are really correct.
What about Ben Higgins? The 26-year-old has steered clear of the drama all season, and managed to make his way all the way to the final three without an real connection with Kaitlyn.
It’s possible he remained on the show because the network has bigger plans for him. Host Chris Harrison recently hinted in an interview with E! that fans would be seeing more of Ben in the future — is he the frontrunner for the next Bachelor ? Spoilers point to Ben making an emotional exit after Monday night’s episode, so there’s a good chance that fans will see the handsome Colorado businessman handing out roses in 2016.
Tune in to see what really happens on the overnight dates on Monday, July 6 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
