THE BACHELORETTE S17. E8. | WELCOME TO HOMETOWNS

July 26, 2021

Tonight’s ABC’s The Bachelorette has an honest conversation between Tayshia and Katie Thurston. In Matt’s season, she didn’t make it to Hometowns so she doesn’t know what to expect and she is also thinking about holding off to tell anyone that she is in love with them as that is the 1 thing that she can give 1 of them. Tayshia says that if she feels it, she should say it and if it is with multiple people that’s ok. She lets her know that Zac wasn’t in the running, but when she was at Hometowns with him, that’s when she knew.

The guys all talk about the importance of the week and why this is so integral for them as they get closer to the end. We see Michael talking with his son letting him know that they will go on a vacation when he is back. But the call ends up leaving him conflicted when he feels that his son James believes that his father doesn’t want to see him. Michael begins to question him being there as he doesn’t want him hurt. He finds Katie and lets her know how much he has enjoyed being with her and now he feels that because of his son, he can’t focus on anything else and that’s his priority. He feels that he can only give her half of who he is even though he sees so much. He lets her know that he is going home because of his son James. He is sad that he has to leave there with all the what ifs. She tells him that she saw them going to the end and she is very confused. He reiterates that he is not leaving because of their relationship, but that he needs to be there for his son. She shares that she had so many things that she wanted to tell him and it’s really sad to see that they’re not going to be able to continue.

Michael leaves and then there were three: Greg, Blake and Justin. We’re holding out for the possibility of her connecting with Michael later, but we also see him at the Men’s Tell All! It’s getting hard to figure out who she will ultimately be with - if at all!

Now we’re at the Men Tell All and looking back on the season and it’s being hosted by Kaitlyn and Tayshia. This episode is definitely going to be cringey as we see things playback and everyone hears what was said. They delve into Cody and Aaron’s beef which we didn’t hear a lot about but definitely could glean the issues that they have as they’re from the same area. While the guys chat, Karl jumps in and says the house was a witch hunt and he’s reminded that Cody only had one person that wasn’t his fan, Aaron and that Karl wasn’t liked because everyone saw through him.

Each night, when the season airs, we’ll tweet about The Bachelor 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.

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!
