The week was hometowns on The Bachelor Season 25, and it led to some amazing (and not so amazing) family moments!

Usually, we kind of take hometowns for granted. We don’t get to see the planning in terms of who will be included, we don’t get to see the days leading up to the date, how excited the women feel about going home.

This time, on The Bachelor Season 25, was a little different, but in a good way. Chris Harrison came into the mansion to tell the girls which of their family members would be included, and it was so precious! I loved how emotional the women got upon finding out which family members were coming to see them.

I confess: at first I thought this was scripted—Chris Harrison telling the women something they already knew—but they proved me wrong! I loved Rachael’s excitement when she found out her sister was coming, how Bri just broke down in tears, and the emotions experienced by the group as a whole. So wholesome!!
