Well it looks like there is another way to win the girl’s heart. Fall for the runner-up and pursue her while others are playing the game according to the rules.. Britt and Kaitlyn were in competition on the first night of this season’s Bachelorette, to see who the guys would choose as the new it girl. Apparently Kaitlyn won by a hair (or maybe a vote or two). After watching the guys exit the limo, meet and greet the women, and discuss their favorites, it didn’t look good for Kaitlyn. Britt seemed to notice as she appeared to be confident of a win and shocked when she was told she was “going home.”
Then came the twist. Brady Toops, one of the male contestants was not interested in wooing Kaitlyn. He had come for Britt and when she left, he requested that he be allowed to stop by her hotel room before she left for home. He did and it seems love bloomed. Britt and Brady have been airing pics of themselves together since that first night. They have announced they are in a relationship and are going strong. Apparently the show was planning on letting us in, but they more or less jumped the gun, or in this case, the air time.
It’s well known that contestants sign all kinds of confidentiality agreements, the most important one being that if they are the final choice, they must keep it a secret until the unveiling during the last rose ceremony. However, given that Britt and Brady never attended even one rose ceremony together, it appears they are off the hook.
I can just see it now—subsequent seasons where two, three, or even four men or women are chosen to compete to see who will be the Bachelor or Bachelorette that season. Then after the losers make their exit, different contestants will take off in hot pursuit. It will be like the Bachelor or Bachelorette with several plot lines going at once. Imagine 3 or 4 nights a week of watching each of the original contestants being pursued by the few who only had eyes for them.
The show’s creators and producers must be licking their lips at the possibilities.
