'The Bachelorette' 2015, Season 11 Spoilers & Cast News: Britt Nilsson & Kaitlyn Bristowe on Premiere Twist [WATCH]
What lengths would you go to in order to win the man of your dreams?
This was a question, among many others, that "Bachelorettes" Britt Nilsson and Kaitlyn Bristowe, who both had their hearts broken by "The Bachelor" Chris Soules, had to ask themselves before forging ahead with a new season.
However, to keep things interesting, ABC has added a new twist that might make some women uneasy. In an unprecedented event in "The Bachelorette" history, 25 eligible bachelors will face not one, but two bachelorettes -- Nilsson and Bristowe.
But that's not all -- there will be yet another twist. At the end of Monday night's Season 11 premiere, the men had the final say over whether Nilsson or Bristowe will be able to stay and continue on as "The Bachelorette" and the other woman will have to leave. As if having your heart broken on the show once wasn't enough! Finding your perfect match shouldn't be so darn grueling!
During the latest installment of "The Bachelor," the two beauties Nilsson and Bristowe were rejected by Soules, who ultimately chose Whitney Bischoff. She accepted his marriage proposal, but there have been rumors swirling that the couple has split.
Regardless of their heartbreak, the two continue the search for the man of their dreams.
What did they initially think of the new twists in the show?
"When they told me, I was like, 'OK, I'm gonna just take a second to think about this,'" Bristowe told ABC News, adding: "I was like ... 'Why do we have to go through that to do this or to meet a husband?'"
And Nilsson's take? "I mean, I think the fact that we went through pain doesn't mean you don't want love."
In what Nilsson called a "very uncomfortable" situation, she added that the two "just kept looking at each other and like, 'It's not her fault that I'm in this situation,'" she explained. "It's not my fault. We're just in it together."
ABC News points out that some fans weren't too thrilled with the idea of giving the men the final say over which woman will stay on the show.
"I didn't see it as being sexist or any of these other things people are saying," Nilsson said. "To me, it just felt like they really couldn't decide so they're giving the guys a chance to decide."
Bristowe agreed, laughing as she said: "I wouldn't have done it if I thought it was degrading and sexist."
When asked if this new approach gave the men too much power, Bristowe replied: "It definitely did."
"It gave them a lot of power," Nilsson added.
"But for one night," Bristowe said.
"The Bachelorette" premiered on Monday night and Part 2 of the premiere will air tonight at 9 p.m. ET on ABC. Check out ABC News' interview with Nilsson and Bristowe.
