DO NOT READ ON if you don't want to know what happens this season!
Here are a few things to look for in the first night and upcoming episodes (check back for more)
1. On the first night, Ryan McDill makes a complete ass of himself -- gets VERY drunk, strips down to a speedo and jumps into the pool; he completely crosses the line (even though we won't see some of the worst stuff). He ruins some of the other guys' intros and 1-on-1 time with Kaitlyn and Britt. He even throws a rose across the room in the voting room and knocks one of the girl's picture over. Eventually, it gets so bad that he is asked to leave. Shawn Evans also leaves a bad first impression, and Clint Arlis comes off as way too cocky and is seen as the villain and most disliked guy at the beginning (after he is eliminated, JJ Lane will most likely be seen as the biggest loudmouth with no filter).
2. Memorable Limo Exits: Justin Reich sucks helium out of a balloon. Chris Strandburg arrives in a cupcake car (this earns him the nickname of "Cupcake" for the rest of the season). Daniel Finney pulls out a boom box and tries to dance. Jared Haibon wears a superhero shirt under his suit (a big "L" for "Love Man"). Shawn Evans arrives in a hot tub car.
2. Tony Harris is a strange dude. He's very into zen meditation, and apparently talks to his plants in his intro video. From what I've read about him, he seems like he could be the equivalent of Vince on this season of Survivor, minus the feather.
3. Joe Bailey has the most southern accent you've ever heard on the show. He is well-liked, and is already booked on Bachelor in Paradise.
4. Nick Viall (runner-up on Andi's season) joins the cast late and is therefore hazed the rest of the guys. He then goes running to Kaitlyn to complain. Nick does not get sent home upon his arrival, and lasts for at least several dates.
5. Brady Toops fell hard for Britt, and he decides to leave the show. He later met up with Britt and the 2 are still together as of right now.
6. Significant 1-on-1 date: Clint Arlis gets the first 1-on-1 date. He then gets eliminated in the next episode - before the Rose Ceremony - because he was being arrogant and horrible to everyone.
7. Tony Harris gets injured on the boxing date. Ended up having to have ACL surgery.

Him showing up is not as spontaneous as it seems, in fact Kaitlyn and Nick end up making out on his first night there.

EPISODE 10: Men Tell All
EPISODE 11: 2 Guys - Finale
Kaitlyn Chooses: NOBODY! She rejected both Nick and Shawn! She is still single and did not choose to continue a relationship with either of them.
So, does this prove Britt right, that Kaitlyn may not have been truly serious about using the show to find a husband? Meanwhile, Britt ended up dating someone from this season's group of guys even though she wasn't chosen as the Bachelorette...and they are still together! Guess Britt got the last laugh in this one.
And let's hope that being dumped "at the altar" twice will put an end to Nick "attempting" to find love on TV. My guess is that his next stop will be Bachelor in Paradise...watch out ladies!
UPDATE, 6/18/15: Kaitlyn made an oops and now we have an updated spoiler! She accidentally SnapChatted a video of her and Shawn in bed together last Friday. Ooops! You can only post live videos, so this is not something that happened on one of their dates or something. It turns out RealitySteve's original source was wrong and Kaitlyn actually chose Shawn! Nick proposed, she rejected him. Either Shawn proposed to her or she proposed to Shawn, but either way, new sources say that she chose him and they have been engaged ever since.
Next Bachelor?
Rumor mill is suggesting 3 candidates: Shawn Booth and Chris Strandburg from this season, and Josh Murray...as in Andi's ex-fiancee Josh Murray.
