ByAriba Bhuvad|
THE BACHELORETTE - "1709" – After an unexpected and heartbreaking departure before “hometowns,” Katie is nervous but excited to continue the journey with her three remaining men in New Mexico. With stakes at an all-time high and the pressure of meeting loved ones, she tries to balance falling in love with fairness – but keeping her emotions held close leads to a tense fallout with one of the guys. Can Katie patch things up enough to convince him (and herself) to stay, or is she ready to quit her journey for good? An all-new episode of “The Bachelorette” airs MONDAY, AUG. 2 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. (ABC/Craig Sjodin)BLAKE MOYNES, KATIE THURSTON

The Bachelorette Season 17 heads into hometowns tonight! Yes, it’s that time of the season where the lead (in this case, Katie Thurston) goes to the hometowns of the remaining contestants (in this case, Justin, Blake, and Greg). Because of COVID-19 restrictions, however, this season is doing this segment of the season within the confines of the resort.

There aren’t that many things one can get up to when your options are so limited. They really have to dig deep and get creative, and most of the time, it’s a crash and burn sort of situation. We’ll have to see what they get up to during tonight’s episode, but we can expect a whole lot of Canada given Blake Moynes is from there.

Hometowns won’t be without their drama, however, based on the promo we’ve seen for it. Justin is going to find himself in an awkward predicament when his family opts not to show up for hometowns. If we know Katie as well as we do, I’m pretty confident that is not going to go over well for her. Tune in to see how that goes down!

As far as Greg goes, I think he is definitely going to be one of the final two guys remaining. Katie has shared strong chemistry with him from the get-go and between the three men, these two scream endgame to me. However, I think a lot of people are betting on Blake to win at the end of this, which wouldn’t be much of a shocker.

Whether you’re team Blake, team Greg, or for some reason, team Justin, don’t forget to tune into tonight’s episode of The Bachelorette Season 17 to find out how hometowns play out. And you can catch all the details on how, when, and where to watch it below.
