If you have yet to see episode 10, spoilers are ahead! Tonight, ABC’s The Bachelorette brings Chris Harrison (JoJo did a great job) back into the show as he lets us know that he dropped his son off at college. He also gives a recap of how Tayshia has cleaned house while he has been gone. After their catch up session, we head straight into a 1-on-1 with Blake. The last time we remember the two of them having a real conversation is when he let her know that it would take time to get out of his shell. He was still caught up on Claire and Tayshia was understanding. The guys don’t know that Bennett has popped back in - that will definitely be a bit of drama. Their date includes a reiki master who will help them seek what they are looking for. Through a series of exercises that are meant to come together, she realizes that the vibe and connection isn’t there. Blake feels like he can get there, but they don’t make it to dinner and she sends him home. She’s not done yet, as she heads over to the guy’s place to talk with them. She lets them know how tough it is, but that she appreciates what they are doing. She then asks Riley to come with her so that they can talk. Although she feels connected to him and has enjoyed his vulnerability, she doesn’t feel that she can get there as her heart isn’t where it should be with him.
With 2 eliminations behind her from the night before, we head into the daytime rose ceremony with the remaining 5 guys (plus a secret Bennett spot) and Ben is the only one with a rose feeling a sense of security. As they all look at one another waiting for Tayshia, they share their feelings with one another until Bennett walks in. While the guys figure out his reappearance, Chris lets them know that there will not be a cocktail party and they will head straight to the rose ceremony as her mind is made up.
She sends home Bennett and Noah and is left with Ivan, Brendan, Zac and Ben! Tonight, we also get the Men Tell All which is always an interesting event that takes place as you head into Hometowns.
In terms of the Men Tell All, they have also included Yosef from Claire’s season! There is no audience due to the intimate nature of the times that we’re living in. We’re loving the set which they should think about continuing to do. But it’s good that they’re still doing the elements that we all enjoy watching when tuning into this particular show. It was great to hear more from Tayshia and we can’t wait to get into Hometowns tomorrow!
Each night, we’ll tweet The Bachelorette and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!
Each week we will let you know who our faves were last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns (it will be interesting to see how Hometowns will take place - we’re assuming families will be quarantined) if we were choosing right now! We will also say who we think should take it all. Poor Brendan has responses that are deemed inconclusive which makes Tayshia hesitant. Zac answers that he has cheated on someone which makes Tayshia uncomfortable. Riley is asked his name to set a baseline and the red bulb goes off!
We also suggest a podcast that we’re newly obsessed with, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour which is hosted by Rachel Lindsay (contestant on The Bachelor Season 21; The Bachelorette Season 13) and co-hosted by Becca Kufrin (contestant on The Bachelor Season 22; The Bachelorette Season 14) to get their feedback!
LAST EPISODE
We cheered on Ben, Ivan, Brendan and Zac. We felt that Zac would propose to her and that she would accept.
WEEK 10 (TAYSHIA’s 6th)
Hometown’s will have Ben, Brendan, Ivan and Zac . Our predictions have been pretty spot on this season and we think that Zac will propose and get a yes!
