Following last night's heart-stopping Bachelorette finale, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth got engaged , making a vow to eventually make a vow love one another until death does them part. But we've heard this before, haven't we? More often than not, couples on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette call it quits not too long after the cameras stop rolling. That won't happen to us, though , Kaitlyn and Shawn promised on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week. Just how confident are these two kids in their affection for one another? If they break up in less than one year, they agreed to pay the talk show host $1,000. And they made this promise with their hands on a stack of Us Weeklys. That's serious business! “We, Kaitlyn and Sean B., do solemnly swear that we are in love, that we will get married, or at least be together one year from today,” the couple recited. “Because, if we’re not, this was a huge waste of everyone’s time. “And if we are not sill in a committed relationship on July 27, 2016, we will pay Jimmy Kimmel $1,000, which he may collect in a lump sum or over the next 30 years in monthly installments of $2.77. Amen.”
Just moments before proposing to Kaitlyn Bristowe, Nick Viall was faced with the devastating truth: Kaitlyn was in love with someone else. “I was in shock,” Viall told People Magazine about being dumped by Kaitlyn. ”And then reality set in and I felt that hurt and pain. It sucked.” As usual, the show made it appear to be an excruciating decision. But Kaitlyn chose Shawn Booth , deciding that she would rather spend the rest of her life (or few months before they break up) with Booth. Throughout the season, Viall had a good relationship with the other contestants, especially Booth. However, two went head-to-head on Monday’s After the Final Rose special, but Viall doesn’t hold a grudge . The 34-year-old software salesman felt the brief feud between he and Booth “was unfortunate and it was frustrating.” “We looked immature and petty. But I have no animosity towards Shawn. And I didn’t get to know him well, but I did get to know Kaitlyn, and I trust her judgment. No matter what I think, that says something. Shawn and I just butted heads.” Maybe Nick just feels used. After all, Kaitlyn and Nick hooked up while filming the show. Viall claims it was meaningful sex. But clearly, Kaitlyn didn’t think so. View Slideshow: Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth: A Love Story

Let’s be honest, you don’t need The Bachelorette spoilers to tell you this season has become a two-man race between Shawn Booth and Nick Viall. (You may want to read said spoilers if you’re curious how this epic twist revealed the winner … just as an aside. Do with that link what you will.) Heading into next Monday night, there are still five guys left in the running, but only the aforementioned duo gets air time in ABC’s preview: The Bachelorette Season 11 Episode 9 Promo From day one, Shawn’s been a contender, earning Kaitlyn Bristowe’s first impression rose and vying to become the first Bachelorette winner to do so. Then along came Nick Viall, the runner-up from Andi Dorfman’s season (and winner of her first impression rose, as coincidence would have it). His chemistry with Kaitlyn was instant and potent, leading to a (not really) shocking sexual encounter hookup weeks before the Fantasy Suite. Shawn has already made it very clear that he dislikes Nick, so imagine how he reacts when she “comes clean” about having sex with Nick. SPOILER ALERT: Booth is pissed! He is so “distraught” over it, in fact, that he threatens to walk off the show as a result. Or at least feign it for the sake of dramatic teaser clips. Probably the latter, but a show insider reveals that all editing aside, in his head, “Shawn just couldn’t get over it. He was obsessed.” “He was more upset that it was Nick.” “He asked Kaitlyn, ‘Why him?'” Booth’s confidant dishes. “He didn’t understand why, out of all the guys, it was Nick she had to sleep with.” As for Viall’s perspective on all this? “Nick felt he had tried to get to know him and was rebuffed,” the insider spills. “He didn’t have any respect for the way Shawn was handling himself.” “Shawn never gave him a chance.” “Nick and Shawn never end up making peace on the show” either, says the source. “It’s one of the most bitter rivalries the franchise has ever seen.” Game F–king On.

ABC’s The Bachelorette season premiere synopsis confirms what The Bachelorette spoilers have said from the start about the May 18 opener: For one of the two stars, it’s going to be a very short run. Fans of the series were shocked to learn that The Bachelor castoffs Britt Nilsson and Kaitlyn Bristowe would both appear on the new season. The twist was revealed LIVE on the After the Final Rose special, with Britt delighted and Kaitlyn – expected to be the solo pick – taken aback. “Well, it’s not ideal,” Bristowe admitted, addressing Nilsson. “Nothing against you. Just not really what I pictured.” She wasn’t alone. Some observers were outraged, which is a little silly considering it’s The Bachelorette we’re talking about, but it is what it is. At least at the onset. The season looks like it will be shaping up much like your standard Bachelorette campaign once the initial dust settles. Who will keep the job? That comes down to the 25 men cast by ABC to seek short-lived fame and woo Britt Nilsson and/or Kaitlyn Bristowe. The premiere will bring a prompt end to this journey for one of the two, as the winner of the guys’ vote is revealed and one stays, one goes. SPOILER ALERT: We’re going to tell you who it is soon. While Britt will be “the tower of confidence” during limo arrivals on night one of the new season, the official synopsis says Kaitlyn will be nervous. View Slideshow: Kaitlyn Bristowe: The Bachelorette 2015! Not only is Nilsson as outgoing as it gets to begin with, she’s the one coming into this with nothing to lose. Kaitlyn, on the other hand, seems rattled. Will fair Kaitlyn hit her stride in time to oust her sexy rival? “Once the votes are counted, one of the lovely ladies will be going home,” confirms the synopsis, even as both make connections with the contestants. While Britt “displays heartfelt sincerity to score points with the men,” Kait channels her inner comedian to “break the ice” with her sense of humor. The men also have a lot at stake, obviously, and act like, it, resorting to lap dances, cupcake cars, hot tub cars, helium-filled balloons and more. Oh, and lots of alcohol. Even more alcohol than usual. One man will become so “disrespectful” that “other bachelors take him on” and Chris Harrison will be forced to intervene, which should be hilarious. In the end … one final Bachelorette spoilers alert … Kaitlyn prevails! But Britt may have found a nice consolation prize. One of the guys asked off the show after the vote so he could date Britt instead . Or so we’ve heard. Tune in a week from Monday to see whether The Bachelorette spoilers above are proven correct or if we’ve all been played. View Slideshow: Britt Nilsson: The Next Bachelorette!

The Bachelorette is going bi-coastal here in Season 11, but only one of the two leading ladies will be making the trip to the Big Apple, according to reports. WARNING: To find out which of the two co-stars, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Britt Nilsson, wins the guys’ vote, follow this link for The Bachelorette spoilers . Then get the latest scoop on the upcoming season by scrolling down … Ever since Chris Harrison announced that Britt Nilsson and Kaitlyn Bristowe would both be the next Bachelorette, Bachelor Nation has been up in arms. That format twist is temporary, however, and after getting input from the men cast by ABC, only one of the two will win the vote and star on Season 11 . By all accounts, that woman is Kaitlyn Bristowe. Britt Nilsson is said to have a “role” on the TV dating competition beyond opening night, but it’s unclear what that is. In any case, it’s Kaitlyn’s season. Traveling from The Bachelorette’s home base of L.A. to New York City’s West Side, Bristowe was accompanied by eight men, who took part in a group date. In typical, extremely awkward fashion, producers had the suitors compete in a good, old-fashioned, epic and utterly cringe-worthy rap battle. On stage. In public. With cameras rolling. No word if any of them incorporated rumors of Kaitlyn Bristowe dating a secret boyfriend back home into their lyrics. Now that would win for originality. One thing we know is that there were celebrity guests galore from the franchise. Ashley Iaconetti took in the hip hop action, as did Sharleen Joynt. Also in attendance? Nick Viall , the runner-up on Andi Dorfman’s season of The Bachelorette . It’s entirely unclear why, but we can look forward to that.

Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers are very much back together, but his health prospects are much more up in the air than their romantic status. The Real Housewives of Orange County stars have been living together as Brooks battles cancer , but he tells Radar that the arduous battle continues. According to Brooks, chemotherapy treatments to treat his “aggressive” cancer (Stage 3 Non-Hodgkins lymphoma) don’t seem to be having any effect. “I am sick,” Ayers, who has battled the illness since 2013, admitted. “I do feel bad, but it’s mind over matter a lot of times. You gotta stay the course.” Six months of chemotherapy and a largely liquid-based diet later, Gunvalson’s live-in boyfriend says he was hoping things would have improved by now. “When the test results came back, the numbers haven’t changed substantially,” he revealed. “They haven’t gotten worse, but they haven’t gotten better.” “That was kind of disheartening, to be honest with you.” “ I’m not so sure my body is responding to chemotherapy ,” he admitted. “At least the cocktail that I was doing. I’m not sure it responded like it needed to.” Ayers says he’s faced with three options, starting with an “aggressive form of chemotherapy” that would mean 3-4 days a week of treatment for months. It’s that, an experimental stem cell transplant, or a holistic approach, which one of their Real Housewives of Orange County co-stars is helping him with. “Shannon Beador’s been very much in our corner, putting us in contact with a lot of unbelievable world-renowned holistic physicians,” he said. “We’re exploring that and with that would come no chemo. It would be addressing and taking what I’ve been doing with the holistic diet and an infrared sauna.” “It’s just assessing what my mentality, my body responds to and it’s been quite a daunting mental task,” the reality star admits, but he still has Vicki. That, more than anything, gets him through the day these days. “She keeps me up and going and it’s been good rather than just routine, monotonous life. That’s not what we’re about. So it’s been very good from that perspective.” If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you know Brooks has always been polarizing, but life’s latest turn has changed his outlook. He says he will be back on the show, and is excited for it. Why? “At the end of the day, we want to show that you don’t have to lay down and let this disease or the normal course of what we think cancer can do take you down.” “You can continue to have a life and you can continue to be strong mentally and the things that we can control, we can control. That’s what we’re doing.” Here’s wishing Brooks the best as he fights the good fight. Real Housewives: Before They Were Reality Stars! 1.

If you read The Bachelorette spoilers , you’ve likely heard that the dueling Bachelorette battle between Kaitlyn Bristowe and Britt Nilsson will be short lived. A victor has reportedly emerged already, thanks to a vote among the guys, and while the loser still has a “role” this season, The Bachelorette is one woman. Follow the links to learn whether Kaitlyn Bristowe or Britt Nilsson becomes star of The Bachelorette Season 11 , then wrap your head around this rumor: Kaitlyn, who made it to the final three on Chris Soules’ journey for love, was allegedly involved in a serious relationship while she filmed The Bachelor . Moreover, she reportedly returned to said boyfriend before filming The Bachelorette! According to Star, Kaitlyn has been dating a boyfriend back home , a firefighter named Trevor Partlo, for a year now. A friend of the couple tells the magazine. “She loves being in the spotlight, and Trevor knows it,” the friend says. “When she signed on to The Bachelor, Trevor said, ‘She’s just doing it to get famous. It doesn’t mean anything. She’ll come back and it’ll be life as normal.’” When Kaitlyn, who was one of Soules’ three finalists, returned home, “she told Trevor, ‘The whole thing was a joke – I only saw Chris, like, nine times.’” However, she told another friend “she and Chris had been ‘intimate.’” Now that the hilarious Vancouver dance instructor is co-starring on The Bachelorette , that could be the end of things with Trevor, the insider speculates. With 25 men now pursuing her, not just Soules, one would imagine. “I know [she] told Trevor in the past that she loves him,” the friend adds of Kaitlyn Bristowe . “She’s a free spirit, but she can also be very manipulative.” So she’s the who’s not there for the right reasons? What a twist! Says the source supposedly close to Trevor: “I have no doubt that actually finding a husband on The Bachelorette will be the last thing on her mind.” Kaitlyn Bristowe: The Bachelorette 2015! 1.

Bachelor Nation has rarely been so united in its love for a contestant/star as we’ve seen with Kaitlyn. Part of that affection stemmed from how genuinely brokenhearted when Chris cut her loose. She was either very serious or a very, very good actress. Going on the show for the fame, or just the experience, is certainly part of it for anyone, but not being in it for love at all? Her fans would be devastated. Given that it’s Star , we don’t buy it yet. What about you? Discuss …
In what host Chris Harrison heralded, with uncharacteristic accuracy, as a shocking twist that will change everything, ABC announced two Bachelorettes Monday.

In other words, get ready for The Bachelorette: Hunger Games Edition . This could be a total toss-up when it comes to a relatively small sample size of single men on a reality show. We can’t even handicap a favorite. Quite an interesting move, in any case, for the long-running franchise, whose fans collectively gasped when the shake-up was revealed late last night. Harrison’s announcement on the annual live After the Final Rose special that follows The Bachelor season finale was met with confusion and crickets. Former Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman and Bachelor star Sean Lowe were quick to slam the move by the producers and declare themselves Team Kaitlyn. Britt Nilsson or Kaitlyn Bristowe were diplomatic about the twist, but both women seemed to be taken aback by it and reacted awkwardly on the air. Kaitlyn said her gut reaction was that this is “less than ideal.” Ya think? Kaitlyn Bristowe: The Bachelorette 2015! 1.

Up Next: ” Kaitlyn Bristowe: The Bachelorette 2015! .” We’ll be redirecting you shortly… For Britt, a one-time favorite on Chris Soules’ “journey” who rapidly fell out of favor with him, the other women and many fans, it’s a dramatic comeback. She remained popular with some card-carrying members of Bachelor Nation, but the eccentric Hollywood waitress was a polarizing figure at best. Nilsson made it to the final six, only to be basically run out of town following a series of bizarre antics and controversies, many of her own making. Now she’s got a chance – and a good one, given her obvious appeal to men – to hand out the roses as The Bachelorette . Pretty amazing turnaround. For Kaitlyn, conversely, it has to be a very, very tough pill to swallow. All but confirmed as The Bachelorette and universally beloved by Bachelor viewers, and Soules, she now finds herself competing with Britt … again. Can she get the best of her once more, in this unprecedented format? We’re guessing that’s what fans are hoping for, but all we can do is wait and see.
