The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison thinks Ben Higgins is really working his magic with Kaitlyn Bristowe as Nick Viall and Shawn Booth are both distracted by their hate for one another.

"As for Nick and Shawn, they just don't like each other at all. These two have never seen eye to eye and they never will. You may have noticed by now that it has gotten to the point where Shawn wont even call Nick by name. He's only referred to as 'the other guy.' Shawn already hated Nick, but then Kaitlyn decided to drop a truth bomb on his heart and let him know she had sex with Nick."
The host noted Booth dealt with this news as well as he could.
"I wouldn't have been surprised if he had run away or if his head has just exploded on the spot like in some cartoon... He was smart to take a minute to collect his thoughts and then approach Kaitlyn. He was ultimately pushed by his heart and his love for Kaitlyn to stay and fight this out. I did appreciate the fact that after more thought, he pulled Kaitlyn aside at the Rose Ceremony and had a more in depth talk with her."
As viewers have come to learn, Booth's biggest issue is trust.
"His worst fears were realized when Kaitlyn had sex with Nick. You knew this wouldn't just go away. Of all the times I've been impressed with Kaitlyn this season, it was at this moment during this talk with Shawn at the Rose Ceremony. I felt she handled herself incredibly well. She was honest and open about everything and explained herself very well. She was incredibly good at articulating her feelings and where she stood on every point," Harrison said.
"I like how she explains what happened with Nick. I also appreciate her having the guts to tell Shawn that it was a mistake to tell him he was 'the one' half way through this process. Kaitlyn has made several mistakes along her journey. Guess what: We're all human and we all do! Owning those mistakes and where you go from there is the sign of who you really are. I like where she's gone, and how she's recovered from those mistakes."
Booth was able to move on with Bristowe, but it's clear he's "sure as heck" not done with Viall. The most recent episode concluded with Booth confronting Viall in his hotel room about all the issues bothering him.
"As far as [Shawn's] concerned, Nick is a snake in the grass and it was time to deal with him. Shawn went to confront Nick and you saw part of that drama. It gets even crazier, believe me. Shawn had a decision to make this week: Tuck his tail and run or stand and fight for the woman he loves. I guess we got our answer," Harrison explained in his blog.
"The overnight dates have started, and you saw that Nick's date went very well. Say what you will about him, but he and Kaitlyn have undeniable chemistry. They are good together and that's easy to see. You will see the other two overnight dates next week along with the rest of the Shawn and Nick throwdown. This has been a roller coaster of a season, but the lid is about to blow off this baby and you don't want to miss it!"
