“Bachelor” nation is already picking sides when it comes to the two new stars of “The Bachelorette” -- Britt Nilsson and Kaitlyn Bristowe. The shocking twist to have not one but two contestants was announced Monday night during the “After the Final Rose” special by host Chris Harrison. He revealed they were neck and neck for the position, so the producers decided to name both of them as the leads for Season 11. Based on Twitter reactions, not everyone is happy about the change.

It will mean Britt and Kaitlyn enter the competition with 25 guys, but instead of having two separate groups of contestants, the men will choose who they think would make a better wife. Although details on how the new season will work have not been released, many are speculating it will be similar to Season 6 of “The Bachelor,” when the women chose which bachelor -- Jay Overbye or Byron Velvick -- they wanted to pursue a relationship with. Jay ended up eliminated during a “Lady’s Choice Ceremony” in episode 1, and Byron continued for the rest of the season.

Check out how “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” alums reacted to the news of both Britt and Kaitlyn being named as the Season 11 stars of “The Bachelorette”:
