One of the best parts of The Bachelor/ette is getting to Hometowns and tonight we see Peter head out to Hannah Ann’s family in Knoxville, Tennessee. We don’t know about his axe throwing skills to impress her dad, but we do know that her father doesn’t seem to be too impressed. He suggests that Peter shouldn’t say that he is falling in love with her unless he really means it along with everything involved in it.
Of course, he tells Hannah Ann that he loves her and we all cringe as clearly he didn’t take her dad’s warning. Hannah Ann lets him know that she is in love with him and not just falling in love with him. Clearly, she feels that they had a great date,
We move right into Des Moines, Iowa with Kelsey where they try their hand on making wine by stomping on grapes and then making their own blend. We can’t wait to see what Kelsey’s family is like as she’s quite a lot and we can only imagine that it comes from somewhere. She lets him know that she is in love with Peter - we don’t know where Peter is just yet, but he says that he loves her honesty. We meet Kelsey’s family and honestly, between Peter not knowing what a Crab Rangoon was, watching the interactions with Kelsey and her family - it’s a bit awkward - we really wonder if she and Peter are a good fit.
Although Madison was not someone that stuck out to us initially, we have grown to like her. So Peter makes his way to Auburn, Alabama and of course, we see a fun video of Charles Barkley telling Peter to treat Madison right. We also meet the head coach of Auburn who her father coaches under. Seeing this part of Madison made us love seeing her even more and getting to know more about who she is as a person. Madison’s family is what we expected and her mom asks her if she has shared the fact that she wants to save herself for marriage to Peter. Once again, Peter sits down with another father who isn’t too pleased to hear that he is falling in love with his daughter when he knows that there are other experiences happening over the weeks. Interestingly enough, Madison doesn’t say that is falling in love with him and you can tell that she is weighing so much between what she wants, what she wants to say and what her parents are feeling.
So Peter continues onto Victoria F. which we liked initially until we started hearing about things that she has been doing in her life. We suppose that they gave them another country musician date with Hunter Hayes and clearly she didn’t date him formally. They have a great date; however, an old friend who is his ex (Merissa) sees him and warns him that he shouldn’t stay in a relationship with Victoria. So many thoughts and yet we can’t disagree with her.
Peter lets Victoria know about their conversation and of course she just melts down. He questions whether she has ever fought for anything that she wanted and that he feels like he is always talking her down. We can totally agree with him on this; however, he can’t get enough of her no matter how childish she acts. Peter doesn’t meet her family, but does talk with her the next morning.
We’re at an airport hanger and all the ladies assemble to see who will advance. Peter gives out roses to Hannah Ann, Madison, and Victoria F. Kelsey does not receive a rose (and although we didn’t think Kelsey was a great fit, we actually would have been ok with her over Victoria F.)
As always, every episode of ABC’s The Bachelor is tweeted by (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to give their commentary on what’s taking place!
We also suggest a podcast that we’re obsessed with, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour which is hosted by Rachel Lindsay (contestant on The Bachelor Season 21; The Bachelorette Season 13) and co-hosted by Becca Kufrin (contestant on The Bachelor Season 22; The Bachelorette Season 14) who continues to provide more scoop on what’s going on and what they anticipate happening in the next episode!
LAST EPISODE
Last week, we found out that the remaining 4 Hometown contestants were Hannah Ann, Kelsey, Madison and Victoria F.
WEEK 7
Hometowns is always a fun time to get to know more about the friends and family of the contestants. As always, each week has been filled with drama and we don’t see it ending any time soon.
With that said, Peter gave roses to Hannah Ann, Madison and Victoria F. We hope that hw will pick Madison ultimately.
