Shawn Booth And Kaitlyn Bristowe Engaged: What’s Next For Nick Viall After Second ‘Bachelorette’ Fail?


Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe gave her final rose to Shawn Booth on Monday night, ending weeks of speculation about who she would pick. While there were happy tears when Kaitlyn said “yes” to Shawn’s proposal, things didn’t go quite as well when she rejected “the other guy” Nick Viall.

Allowing a very emotional Nick to get minutes into his proposal before telling him she loved someone else set off a firestorm of tweets from viewers who were rooting for the 34-year-old Chicago resident to win Kaitlyn’s heart. Fans were upset that she let him get so far into his proposal before telling him he was not the one.

Nick looked stunned, once again becoming a runner-up on the Bachelorette.

Although host Chris Harrison states that Kaitlyn really didn’t know who she was going to choose until the very end, there is speculation that producers wanted her to wait until the rose ceremony to ditch him because the ratings would be better.

What’s next for Nick now that he’s lost at love twice on the Bachelorette, and will Kaitlyn and Shawn turn out to be one of the few couples from the show that gets married?

Rumors that Nick will be the next Bachelor were nixed by Chris Harrison, who recently told Reality TV World that while Viall would “make a good Bachelor,” there were three other guys from Kaitlyn’s season who were a better fit for the gig.

As far as a surprise appearance on the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise, that’s not going to happen either. Reality Steve confirmed that there are a total of 29 cast members who will come and go on the summer reality show, but Nick isn’t one of them.

Whether Viall heads back to work in Chicago, applies to be a contestant on the next season of the Bachelorette, or tries to make a living posting shirtless photos, one thing is certain — Nick will soon recover from his heartbreak — if he hasn’t already — just like he did after he got dumped by Andi Dorfman.

As for Shawn And Kaitlyn, blogger Reality Steve states that their relationship won’t last long, but only time will tell. Perhaps they will defy the odds and become one of the Bachelor franchise’s success stories.

Were you surprised that Kaitlyn rejected Nick and picked Shawn?
