Hey, guys.
I'm Tracy.
And I'm Andy.
And we are almost at the end.
Ooh, it's getting close.
It's getting so close.
I don't want it to be over.
I know.
Can you believe it?
You make a call and tell it to stop.
Not right now.
OK, this week was hometowns.
And I mean, we went to four hometowns.
Four hometown dates.
And we gotta get right to it.
You know him from his hometown, Miss New Jersey!
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
I have to say, hometowns is usually--
we've talked about this-- how hometowns is usually
our favorite episode.
Yes.
And I think because there's--
However.
No, exactly.
I think that because there has so much great drama
this season--
It's been a great season.
--that this episode kind of was a little boring.
It was a little flat.
So let's just get right into it.
We started with Caelynn's hometown,
in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
So then they go to her parents' house.
And my goodness, did they have a big soiree.
Oh, yeah.
That was like a--
They had the whole town there.
So stepdad John gives the blessing.
It was very cute.
And then afterwards, Caelynn tells Colton,
I am in love with--
I mean, she says, I'm in love with you.
Did you believe that?
I do.
Because she was really upset--
Yeah.
But Colton doesn't say anything back.
So he's been like, for some women,
he'll say he's falling in love-- with pretty much everyone--
but he won't give the, I'm in love with you.
But he seemed pleased at the moment.
And he says it really well.
I'm falling in love with her.
OK, so then we go to Birmingham, Alabama, to Hannah G.
Tour of the South.
Yeah, tour of the South.
And they do a cute little class.
They go to etiquette class so that he can
be like a Southern gentleman.
Yeah, that was cute, though.
Which, do we think that Hannah's probably sitting there
on the table like, for sure.
Oh, yeah.
She didn't seem to know any of the stuff.
It wasn't like-- she was like, yes.
She was like, just pick the bread out, too.
Right?
Wait--
She totally kept saying that.
He took out the bread and just put it on her plate,
it's like that's the gentlemanly--
And literally the woman was like horrified.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
But that's the gentlemanly thing to do.
Hey, here's some bread.
It was just like, this is for you.
Bread, bread.
But also, who eats bread like that?
Like just.
But that's how you're supposed to.
By the way, there's no tongs or anything.
The etiquette was that he picked up her bread with his hand.
No, there was nothing--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
I was waiting for her to make him
do like a fork and a knife situation,
where he'd like grab--
The whole thing--
Could you imagine if he had to cut the roll?
I was thinking about that the entire episode.
The bread was the big takeaway of this whole episode, I think.
So then they go to see--
Totally prepared to go meet the parents.
They go.
Yeah, now you're ready.
But they all seem like perfectly lovely.
And the dad actually seemed to like Colton.
There wasn't really any hesitation here.
He kind of just like--
No, he seemed to be into it.
Gave him the blessing.
They clearly have something.
I'm not worried about them.
Yeah, yeah.
She's still a front runner.
Oh, for sure.
So then we go to Santa Ana, California.
Yup, West Coast swing of the hometowns.
Lot of West Coasters this year.
Yeah, for Tayshia's hometown.
So anyway, so they go skydiving.
And Colton, like literally the blood rushes from his face.
So he jumps out.
They tell him to backflip.
He doesn't really do it.
And instead he gives us this like insane scream.
Oh, it was so good.
[SCREAMS] So good.
And then they land and they have this moment.
And it was-- it actually was cute.
It was cute.
Like you feel like they accomplished it together.
It was definitely a bonding moment.
For sure.
They always have experienced that together.
So we go and we meet her family.
And we finally get tough dad.
What I liked about this hometown was that--
There are four people on the couch.
That's right.
No, I liked that it was just her family.
I liked that it was just her immediate family.
It wasn't like all the extended people and the fans
and the whole thing.
It was just her family.
Yeah.
And her cute little brother.
And yeah, and so she's divorced.
So they-- which you can get the family's reservations.
For more than any of the other ladies,
I can understand, like she's already
been through a relationship where she's divorced.
And I'm sure that-- and don't get me wrong,
not that you have to be married and divorced for it
to be dramatic for somebody.
For a horrible heartbreak.
Exactly.
She's got more experience.
But she's already made what was supposed
to be a lifelong commitment to somebody that it
didn't work out.
So I can see how they're like, well, just before you do this
and put yourself in the situation
again, maybe like, just take a beat.
Yeah.
OK, so that-- but anyway, we end up getting his permission
and he kind of softens up a bit.
Fine.
So then we just take a quick, literally skip and a hop.
Down the coast.
Up the coast.
Literally like an hour-long drive.
Huntington Beach.
Yeah, to Huntington Beach, California,
or Cassie's hometown.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Yeah, it is lovely.
So yeah, so she's from there.
And they decide that they're going to go and do
these surf lessons.
So Cassie teaches him how to surf.
It doesn't go very well.
He wasn't very good.
So then they go to meet the family.
And first of all, she's got really attractive family.
Very good looking sisters.
Wait, does she have a twin?
Was it a twin?
No, I don't think so.
But they were very similar looking.
Similar age sister, who like cried
telling her that like she just wants her to be happy
and not to like rush into things.
She's like, you know everything.
I learned everything from you.
She really poured out her heart.
Which is very sweet.
Which is interesting, because she's only 23.
Yes.
And the dad brought it up.
Dad really went after this one.
I forgot until he did.
No, he was like--
This was like my favorite line of the entire thing.
Colton, well, he's a guy.
He's a guy.
Oh, her dad was not--
her dad was not pulling the punches.
He's a guy.
I love that so much.
I know.
He's funny.
I haven't seen you for a month and you
come through the door with a guy, like--
It's odd.
So anyway, and Cassie's dad ain't having it.
Like he's just like--
He's real.
She's like, Dad, I'm not dumb.
He's like, I'm not calling you dumb.
He's like, what you are is stupid.
She got very defensive.
And it's stupid to date this guy.
She was like, Dad, I'm not dumb.
He's like, I'm not saying you're dumb,
I'm just saying you're very young.
She wants him and she got very defense about it.
That was like daddy-daughter talk, though.
That was like full on like, Dad, I'm not dumb.
That's the thing, being 23, you can
tell that she was like, meh.
But that was the difference between the Tayshia and her dad
conversation and the Cassie and her dad conversation,
was that they were kind of similar--
Tayshia's dad, much more mature, been down the road.
They're having a conversation.
Tayshia's extremely articulate about how she feels.
And Tayshia was able to convince her dad.
Cassie having a baby talk with her dad.
Cassie was like, (WHINES) Dad!
Dad, no!
I'm really into him.
I'm dumb because I like him.
I'm not dumb.
But the one thing that we did see
throughout this whole hometown for Cassie
was that her kind of unsureness with Colton.
Yes, for sure.
Which I was not--
No, exactly.
--expecting.
Every other girl, head over heels,
ready to walk down the aisle.
Cassie's like, ah, I don't know.
And she basically says like, I'm not
there-- like when her sister says like,
could you get accepting a proposal?
And she's like, I'm not there yet.
Well, that's interesting.
Two things.
Dad said no and then she didn't really say.
And she was our pick.
So she-- I'm starting to worry.
No, we're good.
We're good.
And then the tease with the tears.
I don't know, you guys.
OK, so we go to the rose ceremony.
And it's the four women.
So Hannah G gets the first rose, which we kind of all expected.
It like went down the row.
Boom, boom.
And then Tayshia gets the next rose.
And then it was like, ooh.
And so then it comes down to Cassie,
who I think we're supposed to think
she's not going to get it because she's
the only one that's unsure.
Of course, but you can tell that he likes her the best.
--and Caelynn.
Yes, for sure.
We knew once we got to that point,
it was like sorry, Caelynn.
But there's no way he's cutting her now.
You know what this means, you guys?
No, it's a contest.
This is sad to say, but our sweet friend Caelynn--
We're down to-- and then there were--
There she is.
Right here.
Just didn't happen.
That top row is gone.
And then there were three.
So, Caelynn.
And OK, well, let's talk about the Caelynn exit.
Because the thing that I was just so upset about
is that this entire time, I felt like Colton has done
a great job of at least telling the women like,
here's the reason this happened.
And I agree--
Very well-spoken.
And I agree that like at that point in time,
that probably the reason is just like my connection
with the other women is stronger.
But at least say that.
Because I feel like getting nothing from him.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
He didn't how to handle it.
It's the first time he didn't know how to handle it.
And maybe we just saw an edit where maybe he
did say a few things.
But even just an, I'm so sorry.
Just something.
Even if he was just like, I know you didn't see this coming
and I'm sorry that I did this to you, that would have been just
at least something.
But it's the name of the game.
But that was the first time I really
didn't like the way Colton handled something.
I agree.
OK.
So then--
Big, deep tease. --we get the tease.
It's not even a deep tease.
There's only like one episode left.
It's good.
It was a good tease.
But it's a two-night spectacular.
Oh, it's going to be-- it's so good they
gotta put it in two nights.
But it does seem like this time we're finally
going to get the fence jump.
Oh, it's coming.
Finally the fence jump.
We get Cassie in the car with tears,
which leads me to believe that she goes home.
Eight feet, I heard that fence was, eight feet.
It looked high.
A big thanks to ya'll for watching.
And don't forget to tune in next week
when we discuss the infamous fence jump.
Woo!
Comment below to tell us what you think.
I don't know why, but I still do it.
Oh, I got it.
I'm gonna cut my bread.
Good job, Corey.
Bye, you guys.
Wee!
I'm going to give you mine.
