This week’s episode of The Bachelorette Season 16 was full of drama, featuring these best and worst moments!

This week’s episode of The Bachelorette Season 16 continued the upward climb of the season—and the men just keep getting better and better! There were some highly entertaining group dates and some one-on-one dates that got real deep. JoJo Fletcher was still on the scene, and she has become a professional polygrapher! What can’t she do?!

We also got a large dose of the lovely Bennett, who continued to give Noah, Tayshia, and the viewers an education on the four types of emotional intelligence. He’s so emotionally intelligent that he even returned to continue the relationship after getting rejected! Oh, Bennett. I really cared for you.

This episode was the week before hometowns (!) and consequently, the personalities of the men and their connections with Tayshia were really on full display. We got so many great one-on-one moments, from charming little talks to huge reveals. We got super personal backstories from Ben, Riley, and Zac (though his was from 6th grade!). That polygraph was the gift that kept on giving.

All in all, it was a very entertaining episode. However, a couple of moments stood out as either amazing or particularly frustrating. Let’s get to the best and worst moments!
