Ben Higgins and Chris "Cupcake" Strandburg have dished on whether they believe Nick Viall or Shawn Booth is the better fit for The Bachelorette's eleventh-season star Kaitlyn Bristowe.

"His desire to get to know her more and more and more kept increasing and I saw it by being his friend in the house and hearing it and hearing him talk about it. I think there is very little doubt in Shawn's mind that Kaitlyn is the type of woman he wants to be with."
And Strandburg is apparently rooting for Booth as well.
"I think that Shawn is the best match for Kaitlyn. I think he balances her out very well and they have a very natural connection. Man, that haircut is unbeatable! So I think he's going to win," the 28-year-old dentist said.
The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison said the connection between Bristowe and Booth was undeniable right from the start.
"From the minute he got out of the limo, [they] just had this thing together and they've had this amazing romance," Harrison told Us. "I think she wants to take care of Shawn. Even telling him about her thing with Nick, that was an odd attempt to take care of him, to be his caretaker. You can tell she deeply loves him."
Harrison will be the first to admit, however, that Booth is not perfect and neither was his relationship with Bristowe on the show.
"Shawn's a great guy, but he has trust issues. His worst nightmare was realized when Kaitlyn sat him down and said, 'Oh, by the way, I went too far with Nick.' So understandably, he has these issues but these two guys love Kaitlyn dearly," he explained.
While filming The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All, Bristowe gushed about Booth's positive qualities.
"Shawn is a little more reserved but such a gentleman and has such a big heart," the Bachelorette told the magazine. "That is almost, it's such a like -- ahhh! It's great when someone shows you this and they're so affectionate but Shawn's heart is up here and he's a gentleman."
The Bachelorette's eleventh-season finale airs Monday night, July 27 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
