THE BACHELORETTE S.20 E.6 | IT'S TIME FOR HOMETOWNS

July 31, 2023

PHOTO CREDITS | ABC The Bachelorette/Craig Sjodin

On tonight’s episode of ABC’s The Bachelorette, we are in Hometowns! It’s favorite part of the season and we can’t wait to see how the families react to Charity Lawson! She starts out with Aaron and his family in Houston. They all have a lovely meal with one another. Aaron’s mother enjoys talking with her and asks her, “would you marry him if he asks?” She says that she wouldn’t be able to say yes at this point. We know this as she has a strong connection, but over the past few weeks, it’s been a bit of a disconnect. He even tells her that although he hasn’t said love, he feels that they are on the path to continue to work on this.

They continue their date by heading out to the football field to have a few appetizers and drinks and they connect with one another. He lets her know that he is falling in love with her and gifts her a letterman’s jacket as well. She says that she feels like they are back on track.

Next, Joey and Charity are in Pennsylvania. They kick off their date by Joey teaching her how to play tennis. Uncle Joe swings by ready to play tennis and we learn that he is very close to his nephew. Apparently Uncle Joe was Joey’s coach in tennis and you can tell. Uncle Joe feels that something is off with Joey although he can’t put his finger on it.

She heads to his family and they give her a warm welcome. His sister pulls her aside to get to know more about her. She lets his sister know that she is falling in love with him. Uncle Joe lets her know that he thinks that she’s a nice girl, but he feels that Joey has a tendency to be what he feels others want him to be. She is confused as she feels he has always been authentic. Initially, she had planned on telling him that she was falling in love with him; however, she doesn’t. He feels something is off.

Xavier meets Charity in his hometown of Cleveland. She’s looking forward to seeing him, but she still feels that there are elements about him that remind her of her ex that didn’t make her a priority. He takes her to a yarn store to kick off his date and he introduces her to his knitting friends as they’re taking a class together. She feels more connected and they continue to talk over coffee. After their solo date, she meets his family. She has a great conversation with his sister and mother and it seems like she enjoys what she is hearing as she gets to see them through their eyes. When Xavier’s dad chats with him, we get to hear more about his process in terms of where he’s at with her.

For her final Hometown, she is in Fresno with Dotun and she looks forward to having time with him as well as meeting his family. His parents won’t be there as they got to Nigeria every year for 4-6 weeks. But even though the timing didn’t work out, she’ll still meet his brothers and sisters. She also meets his grandmother and just when they’re sitting down to eat, his parents arrive! She gets along with them and they end their date riding away in a classic car to a drive in movie theater to see elements of who they are prior to meeting.

All the Hometowns have finished and she catches up with Jesse Palmer. We always love how he’s like a big brother with the listening ear which really allows conversation to flow freely with him. She knows 2 people will be hurt tonight at the rose ceremony, she says that she will be 1 of the 2.

Jesse meets the men at a private air hanger and gets feedback from them to see how they feel about everything. Regardless, this has been a great group of guys (plus or minus others who have already been eliminated). She feels awful that the person who she sends home, won’t see it coming and she knows how that feels as it happened to her.

She gives a rose to Dotun and Xavier. Now it’s between Joey and Aaron! The final rose is given to Joey.

Each night during this season, we will tweet about 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 from the last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns.

We also suggest a podcast that we’ve become obsessed with over the past few seasons, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour to get their feedback!
