Katie Thurstonrespects an engagement without a rose.
“This photo is everything I needed after that rollercoaster of a finale,” Thurston wrote. In a second comment, she added: “Oh I’m obsessed with this show 😍 genuine connections without the distractions of made-up drama and field games.”
Thurston didn’t specify if her reference to “made-up drama” had anything to do with her experience onThe Bachelorette, though there are certainly some similarities between the two series — specifically the goal of engagement and marriage.

“The boundaries of our friendship with respect to her ongoing relationship never even required addressing, because it was never a thought in our minds that we would ever be anything more. You guys- she was engaged,” Hersey wrote.
He continued, “It is apparent that many of you misjudge how both her and I view that commitment. Neither Katie nor I would ever cheat, push someone to cheat, or be involved in cheating. It is not in our nature. It is not acceptable. It is not okay.”
