ByBachelor Bob|
THE BACHELORETTE - Ò1609Ó Ð The drama rages on as Bennett and Noah continue to confront one another on the impromptu two-on-one date. JoJo ups the ante by explaining to the men that a rose this week will be their ticket to a hometown date and an opportunity to introduce Tayshia to their families. One manÕs one-on-one date starts as a fun scavenger hunt but evolves into a more serious discussion when he shares a deeply emotional secret with the Bachelorette that he hasnÕt revealed to anyone else. Honesty is at the top of TayshiaÕs list for a soul mate, and she puts five men through a high-pressure lie detector date. After all the confessions, there is one more shocking surprise at the end of the night that might turn her journey upside down on ÒThe Bachelorette,Ó TUESDAY, DEC. 8 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on ABC.

The Bachelorette Season 16: And then there were six more…

6. Noah (100-1)

I have nothing to say here.

5. Riley (10-1)

It was very hard to keep Riley out of the top four, but I think something is missing between the two of them. He’s a member of my own personal Top 2, along with the man who ends up with the #1 slot this week. No, I’m not going to tell you here, you’ll have to keep reading to find out who! Again, I digress. Riley opened up about the tough relationship he has had with both of his parents and it was a very emotional moment. He just seems to have such a positive personality and he seems to truly care about Tayshia. My poor heart melted when he presented her with a One Week Anniversary cake. She better not break his heart of gold.

The Bachelorette, Tayshia, Brendan
(ABC/Craig Sjodin) TAYSHIA ADAMS, BRENDAN

4. Brendan (10-1)

I keep hanging on to Brendan’s date earlier in the season as reason to keep him ranked this high. Not sure what it is but Tayshia is really into him. He had a slip up during the lie detector test, where he said that he was ready for her to meet his parents and the red light went off, suggesting that he lied. Could mean he’s really just not ready to settle down, but only time will tell.

3. Ben (6-1)

Ben and Tayshia had a lovely one-on-one date that was a scavenger hunt around the resort. Fine. Great. More importantly, Ben opened up about some mental health issues that he has struggled with in the past. It was incredibly brave to do that on the national stage and I’m hopeful that he inspires people to talk and be more open. Tayshia seems pretty glad that he’s there with her, and Ben – I’m glad you’re here too!

The Bachelorette, Tayshia, Zac C.

2. Zac C. (6-1)

The show teased that Zac C. proclaimed himself to be a cheater. It turns out he made out with a girl who wasn’t his girlfriend in middle school. Pretty interesting move to go on The Bachelorette and proclaim that you’re a cheater and then have to somehow convincingly walk it back and say, “Oh yeah lol it was in middle school.” I mean it worked I guess?

1. Ivan (6-1)

Ivan is simply the best. Send tweet.
