On the very first night of filming, the 25 suitors will be able to decide which lovely lady they'd like to see as the official Bachelorette and their potential wife. When Kaitlyn, a 30-year-old dance instructor from Vancouver, and Britt, a 27-year-old waitress from Hollywood, found out about the news, they weren't exactly thrilled.

During a Wednesday conference call with reporters, Kaitlyn talked about the first night, which will be shown in the season's two-night premiere Monday, May 18 and Tuesday, May 19 on ABC.

Below is a part of Kaitlyn's interview. To read what she had to say to Reality TV World, click here. Check back with us soon for the concluding portion. 

What kind of situations cause the most drama in the house?  Would it be like unexpected arrivals, exits, stuff like that?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Yes. [That first night], I would say maybe a little too much alcohol flowing in the house.

How would you handle the situation of a guy being on the show for the wrong reasons?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Honestly, if I found out anyone was there for the wrong reasons, I would just have zero problem walking them out the door.

You're asked to be the Bachelorette and then you hear that there's going to be two of you, which is something that we haven't seen before and probably something you weren't expecting.  So, I wanted to see what your initial thoughts were and if the twist held you back from saying yes?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  It was definitely unexpected and I was shocked.  And yes, I was kind of just beside myself because I didn't know what to think.  I wasn't excited about it but I just really had to take a step back and think of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Standing there next to your friend, I'm sure it was such a nerve-racking situation, and you've been on the other side of it as well.  But was it kind of cool having a friend next to you or did you kind of feel even more pressure?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  No.  To be honest, it felt like it took the pressure off a little bit which is a weird thing to say because there's -- I think there's more pressure on the guys, like who do they go to first?  And they don't even know us.  And so, I feel like it's just the pressure off us and more pressure on the guys.

You're a very attractive type of woman, how come a nice girl like you isn't married?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  To be honest, I just feel like in this day and age... people live up their 20s and do things differently.  And I just found that each year of my 20s, I was getting to know myself better and I just feel like I'm at a point in my life where, you know, I love who I am and I'm comfortable with who I am and I'm ready to allow somebody else to love me, too.

Have you ever been in love -- not a crush or infatuation -- where you just know and say oh, of course!

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  I do believe I was in love.  But I also know that it wasn't the right person.  But I still -- it doesn't take away from that relationship, it just wasn't meant to be.  But I do believe I was in love with that person, yes.

Are you talking about Chris Soules or something else?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  No, somebody else.

You looked like you were kind of in love with Chris.

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Oh, I definitely fell in love with Chris.  It just took a little more time.  It wasn't like an a-ha moment.  It just took a little more time, but I definitely fell in love with him.

Was there any moment that you were kind of like, "No, this isn't what I signed up for, I think I'm going to back out?"

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Yes, I mean, I was kind of all over the map with how I felt about it.  At one point, I was like, "Well, you know, if this is how I find a husband, then I guess," you know, like, what if the line was the Bachelorette? 

You go on a TV show to find love, where the line is very gray of what's strange and what's not.  And then there are times I was like, "No, I don't need to put myself through that kind of stress just to find one guy."  But yes, I was kind of all over the place.

What advice did you receive from former Bachelors or Bachelorettes about being the Bachelorette?  And did you ever hear any advice from Chris?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Yes, I talked to [Andi Dorfman] and, you know, she just told me to always stick to who Kaitlyn is and to always go with how I'm actually feeling, how my heart feels, not to get lost in all, you know, The Bachelorette world, to actually just go with my heart.  But I didn't talk to Chris.  I wanted to, but he's a busy man.

Was it important to you to have somebody from Canada just so you'd have the option of staying home if you chose that person?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  You know, I didn't even really think about it, that there's going to be a Canadian or not.  It wasn't something that stood out of my mind that I needed to have by any means.

What was your family's reaction to you wanting to be the Bachelorette WITH another Bachelorette?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Yes, I think they probably had the same concerns that I did, like, do I really need to put myself through this to find a husband?  But, I think, once we all talked about it and, you know, people fall in love in crazy ways and this could be just one of them.  They're very supportive by the end of it.

Are they holding viewing parties in Vancouver?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Oh, my gosh.  They're holding viewing parties everywhere -- Phoenix, Vancouver, my hometown.

So, I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about some of your dealbreakers and biggest pet peeves when it comes to dating?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Okay. I would say a dealbreaker for me is if somebody doesn't want kids, definitely a dealbreaker.  I want kids very soon.  Pet peeve, yes, I worked in the service industry for so long in restaurants and stuff, and it really bugs me if guys don't know how to tip.  And manners go a long way and tipping goes a long way.

I know by the end of the premiere, the guys are going to vote.  And we don't know the outcome but would it be a dealbreaker for you if one of the guys voted for Britt?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  No, not at all.  They're put in a tough position where they barely know these two women and you have a short amount of time to even just sit down and chat before somebody else comes and steals us away. 

So, you know, I think if somebody voted for Britt and then continued to say it was me then, I don't know.  I just think I would have a better chance to get to know that person and I wouldn't hold it against him, Britt's lovely.

What did you think about the drama this season?  Was it worse than your season with Chris?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Well, I don't yet because I don't know.  I can't tell you how the season went.

What was the best part about the experience so far?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  Just seeing what crazy things guys would do out of the limo, like each time a limo pulled up.  I'm like what's next?

You seemed to take being kicked off The Bachelor really hard.  Obviously you had feelings attached.  Was there any apprehension joining The Bachelorette, knowing that you could be rejected again so soon?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  You know, I think that's hard even if I was to go about my everyday life or go on The Bachelorette.  There's always that chance of rejection.  I mean, it's never an easy thing to put yourself through, but I like to think I've got tough skin.  I'd do it again all in the name of love, you know?

There's two of you and you're vying for the same group of guys.  Was there any awkward moments that first night if you are both kind of interested in the same person?

Kaitlyn Bristowe:  You know, it's funny.  Like even we get out of the limo, you know, I was never really that uncomfortable.  I think we expected it to be a lot more uncomfortable, but it's kind of like having a friend beside you and we laughed about it.  Then we didn't really see too much of each other throughout the rest of the night.  So, we didn't really have that problem.
