I’m sure you’re all ready for tonight’s The Bachelor festivities, aka Hometowns Week. I know I’m particularly excited to see how Clayton’s sweet naivety is going to play into meeting the families of four different contestants.

As much as I rag on Clayton Echard, I have to say that he is a gentleman and I imagine he will be extremely kind and respectful towards each family member he meets. But despite the fact that he will be a nice guy, The Bachelor producers will find a way to make him look horrible. I’m going to hold out hope that this isn’t the case, though!

So, yes, tonight we will see Gabby, Serena, Rachel, and Susie take Clayton to each of their hometowns. I can only hope that we will be thoroughly entertained by the shenanigans that are about to unravel. We’ll definitely see a father corner Clayton and tell him that he doesn’t think Clayton’s intentions are pure. Or we’ll see a brother try to intimidate Clayton or convince him that one of the contestants isn’t ready.

You know how this story goes, Bachelor Nation!
