THE BACHELORETTE S18. E4. | MICHELLE CONTINUES ON HER JOURNEY OF LOVE
Tonight’s episode of ABC’s The Bachelorette begins with some of the guys debriefing about Jamie and how he brought drama into the house. We also see kick off the episode with Michelle Young talking with Kaitlyn Bristowe about how she is looking forward to the week and how she will continue to remain open!
Tayshia Adams swings by the guys to let them know that this week there are 2 1-on-1 dates and 1 group date. The first date card goes to Martin. Olu feels that Martin and Jamie were close and he doesn’t trust him! He feels that he is not deserving of her and definitely has his eye on him. Apparently, Michelle is also aware that he was close with Jamie as well and she’s looking to get her answers! Initially, we weren’t the biggest fan of Martin - but it was nice that he caught up with Michelle when the drama was going on to make sure she was ok. So, it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
Although they have fun racing on the track, there is a conversation that they have where he says that Jamie was a good guy. This leaves Michelle feeling like her decision and position is being questioned. When they are in the dinner portion of the date, Michelle brings it up and Martin explains that he is not a great communicator but it was not his intent to make her feel that way. She gives him the date night rose.
During their date, we find that Leroy, Olu, Clayton, Nayte, Joe, Will, Chris S, Brandon, Casey, Romeo Clayton and Chris G will go on a group date and that Rick will get the 1-on-1 date.
The group date is a slumber party which includes Twister, cotton candy, snacks and even a spa session! Michelle notices that the guys are so in slumber zone, they’re not paying attention to her. When the Bella Twins show up, they let them know that they will do a Teddy Bear Takedown where they will have to fight in teams. She feels that this activity will continue to take attention away from her, but decides that she will focus on the activity. After being split into 2 teams, the winning team gets to have additional time with Michelle. Michelle pulls Kaitlyn aside and tells her that she doesn’t feel seen and that her poem from the previous week talked about how this was an issue with her. At the group date cocktail party, she lets the guys know her concerns and we see Olu have a visceral reaction and he’s upset that his actions missed the mark. Ultimately, Olu receives a group date rose.
Rick and Michelle go on their 1-on-1 date where they become one with nature. They connected even more and she evens calls him their little lettuce wrap. She also gives him a rose.
At the cocktail party, what could possibly go wrong? Apparently Chris S. He tells Michelle that Nayte felt that he “had it in the bag” when it came to getting a 1-on-1 date. Michelle lets everyone know that no one has it “in the bag.” Nayte pulls Chris S aside asking why he threw him under the boss and he puts him on notice that he sees him for what he is.
At the rose ceremony, Will, Romeo and Chris G were sent home.
Michelle gives roses to: Martin, Olu, Rick, Brandon, Leroy, Chris S, Joe, Rodney, Clayton, Casey and Nayte.
Michelle sent home: Will, Romeo and Chris G.
She informs the remaining men that they will be leaving Indian Wells/Palm Springs and making their way to Minnesota so that they can see where she is from and understand her background. We’ll see what’s in store for next week.
Each night during this season, we 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!
HOMETOWN NOTES
SEASON 18 | EPISODE 4
Last week, we felt that Martin, Nayte, Jamie and Peter would go to hometowns.
This week, we had another series of dramatic events! But thankfully, some of the distractions have been removed - Peter and Jamie. There still seems to be someone in the mix - we’re looking at you Chris S, that may still want to shake things up. But we’re staying with last week’s picks as those that we can see coming to hometowns. We think that Joe, Martin, Nayte and Olu have a great chance.

THE BACHELORETTE S18. E3. | MICHELLE CONNECTS WITH THE GUYS
We kick off tonight’s episode with Michelle Young of ABC’s The Bachelorette still thinking about the drama that took place at the Cocktail Party and she’s rethinking the guys. Even the guys are talking about how it’s awful that Michelle feels that her character is being questioned! Casey thinks that as a group, they should ban together and find out who spoke to Michelle with the information. Again Jamie is acting like he wasn’t involved. There are 2 group dates and 1-on-1 date. The first date card is given out by Kaitlyn Bristowe and we see that Martin, LT, Olu, Spencer, Clayton, Nayte, Joe, Rick, Will and Peter are all on the first date. The guys make their way to the airfield. Top Gun Maverick star’s Jay Ellis and Glen Powell explain what the date will be.
In addition to doing the G-Force challenge, they have to do a battle and of course Will and Peter fight each other. Peter doesn’t win and he continues to be mad and increase this feud that has been going on. Will wins the round, gets the jacket and gets to ride in the vintage car in Top Gun: Maverick. At the after party of the group date, Michelle enjoys being able to talk with the men 1-on-1 and it’s nice that at this point, that the drama is low. Of course Peter and Will are fighting back and forth
The remainder of the men are chatting and the next date card arrives. Rodney is on the 1-on-1 date. That means that Jamie, Brandon, LeRoy, Casey, Chris G, Mollique, Chris S and Romeo will have their time with Michelle.
Back on the group date, while Will is chatting with Michelle, Peter puts the jacket in the pool. Will is hurt that Peter disrespected him in that way. Clayton tells him that it wasn’t cool to do that and that their actions impact all of them. Will comes back after taking a breath - we don’t get hear what could have happened because Michelle comes back and gives the rose for this date to Martin because he pulled her aside to ask how she was doing. She then tells him that they have a mini date planned. Will decided not to tell Michelle what happened (in that moment) because he didn’t want her to create drama.
Now Rodney is getting ready for his 1-on-1 date. They play truth or dare and Rodney has to run naked through the lobby while Michelle says, “this is our journey.” Some of the guys as well as Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn look out at this dare. As they relax in her suite and continue on to the truth portion of the date, Michelle says that he is chipping away at the friend zone and is coming out the other side - good for him! They continue on to the last portion of the date by paddling to the other side of the property. They have a great conversation and Rodney receives the rose! She lets him know that she doesn’t see him as an underdog and that he is attractive.
The next group date finds the guys walking into a room where Rudy Francisco, a known spoken word artist, is sharing his poem. We learn that Chris G is a huge fan of this artist and is so giddy to see that he is there. The men are tasked with writing a poem that talks about them lives that they can share with her. The other guys are watching the date as well. Everyone else does their poem and Jamie says he lost his book and instead tells a story that is not about him and is more of a Ted Talk. Michelle ends the date with her sharing her poem. Her poem talked about her journey and also shared how she wants to empower other black, brown and white girls so they can live in their best self.
At the post cocktail party for the 2nd group date, she continues to get to know more about the men who are there. Although we saw great conversations with everyone, she gives the group date rose to Brandon. Jamie felt that he had it in the bag. Jamie pulls the producer aside and tells her that he thought there should have been a stronger group of guys and that the he thinks that she is going Spring Break mode.
So, we move on to the cocktail party. The guys are still wondering about who blew up last week’s event. Jamie says that he can’t wait to chat with her and that he wants that 1-on-1 time. Nayte take some time with her to catch up. They run around the property and you can definitely tell that she is such a light-hearted person. Rick tells Michelle that no one questioned her character and that there was no way that anyone in the house would have said that. Michelle tells Rick that Jamie was the one that told her and now she feels that there are a number of red flags that popped up. Of course Rick tells some of the guys what happened. Rick let her know that Michelle told him that it was Jamie. Now all the guys know that Jamie was the one that threw them under the bus. Michelle loops in Tayshia and Kaitlyn and goes down to the guys. She realizes that the energy is off and asks why. Jamie makes an explanation and then Michelle shares what he said and then pulls him outside for them to talk. She feels that their trust is broken and she walks him out. She cancels the cocktail party and moves immediately to the rose ceremony.
Going into next week, we’ll see: Martin, Rodney, Brandon, Joe, Rick, Leroy, Nayte, Casey, Chris G, Chris S, Clayton, Olu, Romeo and Will.
She sent home: Jamie, Peter, Mollique, Spencer and LT.
Each night during this season, we 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!

On today’s episode of #TRIBEGOALS, I catch up with D-Nice in between soundchecks for his performance with Mary J Blige at the Apollo Theater. When we think back to the dark days of the pandemic there were a number of constants that we looked forward to, thanking our healthcare workers at 7pm, embracing hobbies that we didn’t know that we had and heading to the biggest global couch party that happened every night for hours on end with Club Quarantine! In those moments we could connect with friends, enjoy amazing music and see some of the biggest celebs in the room from Michelle Obama, Rihanna, Madonna, Nile Rodgers and more!
D-Nice rocked it out and shared his sense and need for a community with us while we navigated those uncertain times. 20 months later, he’s still keeping us connected virtually and in person. As the cover of our OCT ISSUE #70, we talk about his legendary career that started as a founding member of Boogie Down Productions with the late Scott La Rock and KRS-One, we talk about how he came up with Club Quarantine and its evolution from being the party to attend, as an amplifier for initiatives he is passionate about to taking it on the road to the Hollywood Bowl and what he has in store for the Club Quarantine Fest taking place in 2022 in LA. We also talk about the brand, how he picks his projects, the full circle moments that music has created in his life and maintaining the power of connection within this community.
