'The Bachelorette' Season 11 Spoilers: Nick Viall had Been Crushing on Kaitlyn Bristowe for Months Prior to Returning to Show

Tuesday night's preview trailer for Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of "The Bachelorette" featured a surprise appearance from former "The Bachelorette" finalist Nick Viall who has returned to the show in attempt to win Bristowe's heart.

Viall first appeared on "The Bachelorette" during Season 10, which starred Andi Dorfman. Although Viall and Dorfman did not find love during that season, there were rumors that they rekindled a romance off-screen once the show wrapped up and Dorfman announced her split from her "The Bachelor" fiancee, Josh Murray.

Now it appears that the rumors were false given the recent release of "The Bachelorette" Season 11 trailer, which features Nick Viall's return and Us Weekly's claim that Viall had been crushing on Bristowe for months prior to returning to the ABC franchise.

In a series of tweets that have since been deleted, Viall shared his interest in Bristowe and described her as the "total package," as he live tweeted about her appearing on Chris Soules' season of "The Bachelor."

According to Us Weekly, Viall wrote back in February that "Kaitlyn is the total package. She will be just fine."

Earlier in January, Viall tweeted, "I'm pretty [sure] I would never be bored around Kaitlyn. He later added in March that "Kaitlyn is incredible."

Although the controversial Season 11 trailer of "The Bachelorette" reveals that Bristowe ends up having sex with one of the male contestants on the show, it does not provide the name of Bristowe's intimate partner.

However, Reality Steve, a reality TV spoilers blogger, claims on his website that Viall is the man who has sex with Bristowe and ends up making it to the final two.

Reality Steve also goes on to allege that Bristowe chooses to remain single at the end of the show and dumps both Nick Viall and Shawn Booth who end up being the two male finalists left on the show.

"Just know that Kaitlyn chose neither Shawn or Nick and she is a single woman," he wrote. "She's also not still dating them. She rejected both and left the show as a single woman, choosing not to continue on with either of them."
