This week on The Bachelorette, Kaitlyn Bristowe faced drama on multiple fronts as the stakes continued to rise for the remaining contestants. Some of these developments were teased long ago by The Bachelorette spoilers , while others managed to take us (and Kaitlyn) aback … Watch The Bachelorette Season 11 Episode 5 Online Picking up in the middle of the previous episode’s rose ceremony cocktail party cliffhanger has become the norm on The Bachelorette . Gotta keep us guessing? Waiting in breathless anticipation? Not really necessary when we already know The Bachelorette spoilers (follow link above!) and come on, it’s not exactly Breaking Bad . Anyway, Kaitlyn promptly dispatched Clint, who got pretty defensive about … JJ. “This isn’t about your relationship with JJ,” Kaitlyn replied. “I’m taking steps back, and you’re not talking about how much you care about me … you’re talking about JJ and how the guys are jealous.” Then, the Bachelorette bromance turned south in a hurry when JJ felt that he had something to get off his chest regarding Clint as well. JJ told his former partner, and we quote: “There’s an emotional energy that gets taken away and as your friend that needs to be said.” A full-on lovers quarrel followed. At least it felt like one. These two men may not have been romantically involved, but emotionally, the way they poured their hearts out in this standoff? Intense! That gay Bachelorette promo tease was pretty lame on ABC’s part, but at least we understand where they got the idea now. Just saying. As Tanner pointed out to us after this unraveled, “I think Clint was more sad to have JJ turn on him than to have Kaitlyn send him home.” Sometimes, breaking up really is hard to do. So much so that Kaitlyn decided against a rose ceremony – such a downer – and brought all the remaining suitors with her to New York. There, producers made Jonathan, Justin, Ben Z., Corey, Ryan, Tanner, JJ and Shawn rap battle with the aid of mentor Doug E. Fresh. At one point, Kait called it “the worst rap battle I’ve ever seen. I don’t think there’s ever been a rap battle with two guys in khaki pants.” View Slideshow: Kaitlyn Bristowe: The Bachelorette 2015! Indeed. Meanwhile, Ben H., Ian, Joshua, Chris and Joe had to audition for Aladdin on Broadway, singing “A Whole New World” to Kait. Aladdin is a Disney production, as is ABC. The cross-promotion never stops. On a more positive and random note, Ashley Iaconetti was in the house … oh and so was Nick Viall. Nothing really random about that, though. Nick Viall and Kaitlyn Bristowe , who he was crushing on, had been hollering at each other. Online, that is. Ever since he got dumped by Andi Dorfman, he became smitten with Kaitlyn … or just getting back on TV. Who knows. In any case, Nick was “kinda bugged” by the idea that Kaitlyn might get engaged to someone else, and decided to rejoin the show. “Last season was not really that fun for me,” said Nick, somewhat dubiously as he did get to make love to Andi Dorfman at least once. Just saying, man. It could’ve been worse. Having your heart broken on TV sucks, yes, but at least he made a real impression on a gorgeous, intelligent, well-rounded woman. Would he get the chance for Round 2?! Kaitlyn pondered his request to come aboard, and even asked the guys, who were predictably not thrilled with having to share Bristowe. She gave Nick a kiss, told him she had to sleep on it, then after doing so, obviously told Viall he’s in after getting advice from Ashley S. You know. Crazy girl from last season. Crazy but an actual hairstylist in Brooklyn, at least, who gave Kaitlyn romance advice as well as did her hair for her date with Jared. Talk about multitasking right there. The episode in true cliffhanger fashion with Nick entering the guys’ hotel, saying, “What’s up, guys?” Insert Nick punchline at your leisure. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Season 11 Cast!
