28 Totally Appropriate Reactions You Had While Watching the Bachelorette Finale

ABC

That's a wrap on season 11 of The Bachelorette! After weeks of waffling between a group of handsome suitors, Kaitlyn Bristowe chose Shawn Booth. It was a great conclusion to what host Chris Harrison would call "a very dramatic season," but it wasn't the only memorable moment of the episode. Revisit all the highlights from the finale, complete with GIFs of your reactions.

01

Whenever Chris Harrison Was Talking to the Live Studio Audience

I assume it's not boring if you're in the audience, but it's not very exciting from the couch.

02

When Nick Said "Shawn Doesn't Like Me"

This is true, for many reasons.

03

When Kaitlyn Danced Around Telling Her Family That She Slept With Nick

This isn't weird at all.

04

When Kaitlyn's Mom Was Having None of Nick Being There

Kaitlyn's mom is clearly a savvy Bachelorette viewer, and I love it.

05

When Nick Said He Didn't Go on Andi's Season to Find Love

So . . . he lied to Andi?

06

When Kaitlyn's Mom Was Basically Talking About Her Daughter's Sex Life With Nick

Oh God, please stop.

07

Then When Nick Segued Into Asking For Kaitlyn's Hand in Marriage

This was either weird editing or the worst timing in the world on Nick's part.

08

When Shawn Told the Story About Snapchatting Kaitlyn's Face With a Heart

It would probably be really creepy if there wasn't a happy ending here.

09

When Katilyn's Mom Brought Up Kaitlyn's "Intimacy" With Nick While Talking to Shawn

Why does everyone feel this overwhelming urge to talk to Shawn about Kaitlyn spending the night with Nick? It's bad enough that he had to talk to Kaitlyn about it, but having to talk to her mom about it? No, thank you.

10

When Kaitlyn and Nick Were on the Boat

BRB, getting snacks.

11

When Nick Said He Got Kaitlyn a Gift and It's in His Bedroom

Oh, it's a picture of you two and some creative writing? Nevermind.

When She Gushed Over Nick on Their Date Together

The game all but looked like it belonged to Nick.

Then When She Went on Her Date With Shawn

Tyrion is all of us.

14

Later, When Things Were Less Awkward

It's all going to be OK.

15

When Kaitlyn Woke Up and Her Hair and Makeup Were Flawless

Yes, we all sleep in silky loungewear.

16

When Shawn Was Casually Walking Around Shirtless

Yes, a million times yes.

17

When Neil Lane Turned Up With the Rings

Every time Neil Lane shows up, you know things are about to get sparkly.

18

When Nick Got Out of the Limo First

Does this mean he's getting kicked off? Is this a trick?

19

When He Started to Propose and She Stopped Him

Let's all calm down.

20

When His Face Was So, So Upset and He Started to Back Away

This is about to be HORRIBLE.

YEP, SO HORRIBLE.

22

When She Walked Him Out

No one wants to be touched by the person who dumped them on national TV, Kaitlyn.
