THE BACHELOR S26. E8. | HOMETOWNS

February 28, 2022

On today’s episode of ABC’s The Bachelor, we are finally at Hometowns! It’s been quite a season, but this is always a period in the show that we’re excited to see! Clayton meets up with Susie in West Virginia and they have the day portion of their date doing a number of martial art moves. Apparently, Susie did this in Japan and continues to enjoy the practice. Clayton, who is always game for anything seems to enjoy this activity as well.

Susie’s family was so sweet and welcoming to Clayton. You could tell that they were great people and that they truly supported Susie in her journey with him.

Up next is Gabby in Denver,Colorado. Gabby takes him on a hike, complete to Proposal Rock. It’s an easy date and you can see their connection as well. After a bit of hiking in the mountains, they hop into a hot tub where they can take a look at the amazing view. When they go to meet Gabby’s family, you can see that they are all close and a number of people came since her father couldn’t come due to a new normal of COVID issues (it seems like his girlfriend may have been immunocompromised. Interestingly enough, her dad pulled a Love Actually and came in the driveway and shared that he was proud of her daughter and if Clayton felt right to her, that she should act upon it. Clearly, he knew that Gabby wanted his opinion and felt a bit lost without being able to have it. She also let Clayton know that she was falling in love with him.

The third Hometown date is with Serene and we see her and Clayton tackling heights and maneuvering around an apparatus. They arrive at her family’s home and Clayton’s brother definitely asks him hard hitting questions. We can see that her family is very close.

On Rachel’s date, they’re in Florida and have a glass bottom kayak boat where they navigate it through the waters that has alligators in there! They make their way to the Kissing Tree. Rachel warns him that her dad is tough and after seeing her dad looking at Clayton, we totally see everything that she has been saying. But in the end, her father does let him know that he would be ok continuing his journey with his daughter.

We head back to LA as the rose ceremony is about to begin. We learn that Susie, Gabby and Rachel will continue and Serene does not receive the rose.

Each night during the season, we 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 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!
