It's getting hot in here - tempers are flaring, pulses are racing, kisses are getting steamy and clothes are coming off.

As The Bachelorette gets down to the last few suitors, the ABC reality show turned up the heat in a myriad of ways on Monday night.

And not always in the steamy sexy way as the testosterone was palpable on Monday – as Kaitlyn Bristowe's final suitors almost came to blows.

Scroll down for video

Not mates: Shawn Booth and Nick Viall have stepped up their battle against each other with Shawn turning to name calling and Nick happily revealing his love rivals less than tasteful sex secret on the Bachelorette on Monday night

Kaitlyn, an effervescent dance instructor, was down to her last three men - with Shawn Booth and Nick Viall ready for battle.

While the episode opened in the picturesque land of Killarney, Ireland, the quiet and calm was quickly shattered.

Earlier this season Kaityln spent the night with Nick, a widely-hated software sales executive, from Chicago.

She's the one: Kaitlyn Bristowe knocked out two more men from the competition for her heart - Joe Bailey, a 28-year-old insurance agent and Jared Haibon, a 26-year-old restaurant manager

Candid confession: The dancer revealed to Shawn while on a date in Ireland that she had slept with his love rival Nick

'Do you regret it?': The heartbroken personal trainer stared into the distance and shook his head

Worried that Shawn, a personal trainer, might find out about the tryst she decided to tell him in advance.

Over oysters and Guinness Kaitlyn confessed that she had slept with his nemesis: 'It's hard for me to admit it, but we had sex.'

The heartbroken personal trainer stared into the distance and shook his head.

He's over it: Shawn was not about to drop out of the race for Kaitlyn's heart and got a kiss for his trouble

But wait there's more: Nick was also out to steal the Bachelorette's heart and her kisses

'Do you regret it?' he asked before disappearing off to the bathroom.

After a few moments alone he decided to 'man up and get through it'.

'What am I going to do, storm out of here? No, because I want you!'

Shawn was already fraught with jealousy - so after Kaitlyn spent yet another night with Nick he stormed over to confront his rival.

'I don't think you're just here for Kaityln,' he spat angrily.

Face off: Shawn and Nick made there feelings clear about each other, with Shawn calling Nick an 'a**hole'

'You're manipulative, you're arrogant you're a cocky guy,' he raged, saying that 'at least 40 guys' from the last two seasons have thought negatively about Nick behind his back.

'I think you're an a**hole,' raged the muscular 28-year-old, balling his fists in fury.

Before the love triangle exploded Kaityln went on three dates and got rid of two men: Joe Bailey, a 28-year-old insurance agent and Jared Haibon, a 26-year-old restaurant manager.

Kaitlyn embarked on a date with Ben Higgins but still 'felt sad' about ditching Chris Strandburg, aka 'Cupcake' last week.

Distracted: While they other two fought it out, Ben Higgins cemented himself as the sensitive guy looking for real love

Settling fears: Ben revealed he thought he might be 'unlovable' but Kaitlyn reassured him by saying that she's 'falling in love' with him

'I want to be able to enjoy my time with Ben, but I don't want to put on an act either,' said the 29-year-old beauty.

'I'm not always bubbly, happy Kaitlyn,' she frowned, as they took a rowboat towards Innisfallen Island in County Kerry.

Instead of flaring into jealousy her 26-year-old date was honorably sympathetic.

'I want to support her, when she does care deeply about people, I don't want her to brush those things off,' said the mature software salesman.

Got the girl: The pair also shared a kiss after their date and deep coversation

'I want her to feel the real emotions that she is experiencing and I want to be there to help her,' added the Denver native.

To lighten the mood they played hide and seek and kissed by the waterside on the private island. Their date ended with Irish coffees by the fireplace of a cozy pub.

Ben decided to open up about his insidious fear of rejection.

'I really loved my last girlfriend…and since that I've feared that I am unlovable,' he said.

Clinger, stage five: Joe scared the star off after declaring he was in love and wanted to marry her

She reassured him by saying that she's 'falling in love' with him.

When the chat turned to the pending overnight dates he seemed unexcited by the physical side of things, saying he'd be happy to 'talk all night'.

'Are you a virgin?' She asked him.

Following his heart: Despite being upset about Kaitlyn sleeping with Nick, Shawn still accepted a rose from her

'No,' he replied, while noting he was glad that she perceived him to be that pure and innocent.

As the group date commenced Nick said his 'confidence couldn't be higher'.

But as soon as they reached Killarney National Park Shawn steamed in for alone time with the lady.

'I missed you,' he told her.

Joe dragged her aside next – declaring that he was ready to marry her.

'I could totally kiss you, and only you, for the next 60 years, and be the happiest man in the world…I'm in love with you babe,' he professed in his Kentucky drawl.

Kaityln was 'not on the same page' so she struck him off.

Jared, a 26-year-old restaurant manager, from Warwick, Rhode Island was denied a date.

So, wearing a tiny silver mini dress, Kaitlyn launched straight into the rose ceremony.

Her first was for Shawn – who wasn't sure he wanted to accept because he was still angry about her dalliances with Nick.

'Why him?' he asked incredulously. 'Why would you do something like that to jeopardise us?'

Sex confessions: Nick threw his love rival under a bus by telling Kaitlyn, Shawn bragged about being a 'Eskimo brother' with a country star - a slang phrase for sleeping with the same woman

Do tell: Just which country singer and Shawn have 'romanced' the same girl remains a mystery

'I am here to explore other relationships,' she said, reminding him about the nature of the Bachelorette franchise.

'Telling you that you were 'the one' half way through was a mistake,' she added.

Although wounded, Shawn decided to take the rose.

Ben took the next rose, followed by Nick.

Too hot: The chemistry between the pair once again ensured a lot of passion

Jared was chivalrous with his rejection - and his good-natured exit made Kaityln crumble.

'You'll always have a special place in my heart and I want you to be happy,' he said.

'Make sure you find the man of your dreams because you deserve it,' he added as she broke down in tears.

'He's such a sweetheart, I don't have one bad thing to say about him,' she said.

Fantasy suit time: Kaitlyn and Nick once again spent the night with each other

Saucy and steamy: No doubt Shawn will once again be upset that Kaitlyn is exploring her physical attraction

So grind the axe on Shawn further Kaityln went out romancing with Nick. In the colourful city of Cork they strolled through the ornate cathedral.

'We feel like a real couple,' she said.

'Conversation is easy, affection is easy,' she giggled as they chatted with the locals in the pub.

Back at the hotel Nick threw Shawn under the bus - saying he had 'zero respect' for his rival.

'I don't really respect people who brag about being Eskimo brothers with famous country singers because they f**ked the same girl in the same night, but they were first,' he said.

The morning after: The pair woke up and shared a casual breakfast like the cameras were not there

Kaitlyn Bristowe tells GMA about 'Bachelorette' behavior

'Ewww,' she grimaced, which is no surprise as the term is far from a pleasant one about two men who have slept with the same woman.

Just which country singer and Shawn have 'romanced' the same girl remains a mystery.

Nick once again got the girl, however, by getting soppy with his emotions: 'The only thing keeping me breathing in this world is knowing why I am here.'

'That's sweet,' she said as she led him to the 'fantasy suite'.
