In "Hometowns Week" on The Bachelorette, Brandon proves to be a terrible skater but one hell of a dater, Rodney reverts to running the apple offense, but this time around, it's just not quite Michelle's taste, Joe runs unopposed for prom king as he continues to reign over the competition, and Nayte keeps his balance on the paddle board but leaves Michelle worried he might falter in the face of an engagement. With the fantasy suites waiting just around the corner, which of the guys look like they hold the key to Michelle's heart?

And in the end, Michelle chose Rodney, Brandon, Nayte, and Joe as her Final Four. Which of these players will parlay hometown success into Fantasy Suite room keys? And which ones will end up having to stay home? Join us as we churn out some buttery, hard-hitting analysis of this wild card week!Support the Show.
