We’ve officially made it to my personal favorite part of The Bachelor franchise: Hometowns! Tonight, we’ll be meeting family members and/or friends of the remaining contestants of Katie Thurston‘s Bachelorette season, and I absolutely cannot wait to see who comes to visit. Based on teasers, it already looks like Justin Glaze’s family might be absent from the episode, as Greg Grippo continues to struggle while watching Katie fall for the other men.
How about
? Well, everything seems to be going well for him, but anything can happen in these final episodes. Hometowns is a true test to see if the lead can see a future with his/her
, so tonight’s episode is about to be very telling for Katie. Who do you want to win this thing at the end? We’ll find out in the finale next week!
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Because tonight’s episode is such a major one for the season, you might be wondering how long it will run. We provide you all the information you need right down below.
How long is The Bachelorette hometowns?
Despite tonight being a very important episode, it will still run for the usual two hours long. The Bachelorette season 17, episode 9 will air at 8:00 p.m. EST on ABC and will end at 10:00 p.m. EST. According to ABC’s schedule, an episode of The Celebrity Dating Game will come on afterward.
If you don’t have cable or access to ABC, you can still watch The Bachelorette live tonight with FuboTV, which is currently offering a free trial.
While hometowns tonight will run for its usual time, you’d better buckle up for next week. The finale of The Bachelorette season 17 on August 9 will be three hours long! We still have to get through fantasy suites after hometowns, so it’s possible that’ll likely be squeezed into next week.
We know this season concludes in a non-traditional way and it was reported that filming ended early, which means the next two episodes are bound to be explosive.
Be sure not to miss a minute of all the drama and watch The Bachelorette season 17 every Monday night.
