It's a busy week, as we go to the suburbs of Denver, Chico, CA, St. Augustine, and rural Texas to meet the families of Chase, Jordan, Robby, and Luke. We realize how amazing their moms all are, and how little we really know about some of these guys. Robby's ex-girlfriend is again the focus of some tension and Luke is the only one avoiding the "L bomb" - until he drops it on JoJo mid-rose ceremony. To be continued after hometowns? So rude, ABC.

This week, the show heads to the countryside - with the guys on a retro bus and Alex and JoJo awkwardly hanging out in silence. Alex is excited to see their relationship go to new heights as JoJo seems more into the gauchos and their horse whispering skills. The group date ends up a drunken evening of hotel shenanigans, as the Bachelorette apparently did not have a rain plan prepped. We end the week with Luke's horse riding one-on-one and a tearful goodbye from this year's crooner.

This week we head on to Argentina, as the tour of South America continues. We learn from the date card there's one guy in the house who hasn't become acquainted with JoJo's lips. The guys have a group date and we learn just how traumatic it is when there's a poker misunderstanding in the house. We have a second two-on-one as we watch a two-on-one tango session. And JoJo just can't bear to make a choice come rose ceremony time.

We finally get the finale of the Chad-drama, as we see him confronting the guys to make a quick subsequent final exit. The guys continue on to Uruguay where we see how uninteresting ABC can make the more exotic locale seem to be. We see Chad's exit brings the unity within the house to an end, as the "Mean Girls" crew begins to emerge. FInally, Robby takes his relationship with JoJo to a new level by dropping that great big L bomb.

It was two times the Bachelorette drama this week as the gang makes their way into the rustic Pennsylvania countryside. The fresh scenery doesn't lead to the clean start JoJo had imagined. We have this season's 2:1 date, which did not disappoint and left us one man down. With a bit of an open ending, we'll have to wait two weeks to see how things truly went down. To be continued?

It's two group dates and our first 1:1 as JoJo continues her quest for love. Sparks fly with Grant as he puts his day job to work to help to woo her. A new "narrator" emerges this week, our luggage-weight strong man, deli-meat lovin' Chad. Is he in it for the long haul though? TBD.

On a night that went straight until dawn, this new crop of guys didn't disappoint. From former Bachelor cameos to pool laps, it was a packed season opener. Special guest Grace Seery joins to fill in for Leslie as we break down the first episode and talk about what we're expecting in the season ahead.

This season's journey comes to a close in Jamaica, where they're all still at the Sandals Resort. Ben's parents come in to meet both Lauren and JoJo, as he's torn making his decision.

In the end, Ben does get down on one knee - leaving the other heartbroken. We get so see in After the Final Rose though that she's more than fine - in fact, she's our new Bachelorette! We can't wait to talk through her journey with you all starting in May.

Almost all of this year's 28 contestants (save final two Lauren B and JoJo) came together to rehash the highs and lows of this season of The Bachelor. This week, we chatted with Izzy Goodkind who shared more about her experience with the show and at Women Tell All.

The final three go to Jamaica and it's finally here - Fantasy Suites! We see which of the three gets stuck in the fantasy closet. One of the three get a super cute date that involves sea turtles (loved it). And we finally get to see the "I love you" scene the show's been plugging all season. We're anticipating the season finale is gonna be a doozy.
