Top 3: The Bachelorette Season 16, Episode 11 rankings

We have made it to our final four on The Bachelorette Season 16 and that means hometowns and awkward family interactions! Or at least it normally does.

The Bachelorette Season 16 and this particular group of men and their families are so gosh darn adorable. So much so that this week’s episode had minimal controversy or drama and everything went swimmingly! I mean minus the actual elimination at the rose ceremony, but that’s to be expected.

So with everyone getting along great and all the men falling head over heels for Tayshia, who stood out and made it to the top of our power rankings on this week’s second episode of The Bachelorette Season 16?

#1: Zac C.

First place in our rankings for hometown dates is the sweatiest man in the entire world who had to jump in a fountain to cool off and stop the drip. Zac needed a towel, but still takes the top spot!

Despite spending the majority of the day sopping wet from the Palm Springs heat, Zac showed Tayshia a great time in New York City before she met his parents and his brother. Things went wonderfully and Tayshia even mentioned that she is falling in love with him. Heart eyes, am I right?! It is no surprise that Zac is a front runner and received a rose to move on to Fantasy Suites.

#2: Ivan

Taking the runner-up place is a man who took the “use a child to impress Tayshia” strategy on his hometown date. Ivan, we see you and what you’re doing and you’re so cute that we allow it. It’s adorable, TBH.

Ivan had his chef niece provide a cooking video for our couple to follow along for some normal life date night fun and it had Tayshia smitten. After the steam in the kitchen had subsided, it was another delightful family meeting with Ivan’s parents, and to top the whole thing off, Ivan’s brother appeared at the last minute. The love between these two guys was radiating off the screen and won over Tayshia and Bachelor Nation.

#3: Brendan

Finally, finishing out our top 3 for this week’s episode of The Bachelorette Season 16 who made the cut to the Promised Land aka Fantasy Suites is the other guy who used the child pulling at the heartstrings bit. Yes, Brendan snagged that last rose and the last spot in our rankings.

After a very cute carnival date with his niece and our Bachelorette, Brendan’s family portion also went great. Things were emotional as he talked to his brother about how much he wants to be a dad and looks up to him and how he’s 1000% falling for Tayshia.

I am not confident that our girl is on the same level as Brendan in the feelings department, but these two are too cute together and he definitely deserves more time with her to see where this thing can go.

We have another double feature next week with Fantasy Suites and The Bachelorette Season 16 finale!

Tune in for all the romance and to see where our top three lands both in Tayshia’s heart and our rankings!
