The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 8: How to watch

THE BACHELOR - "2603" - Following last week's cliffhanger, Clayton confronts one of the women about a shocking rumor involving her, but will her explanation check out, or will Clayton break tradition and take back a rose? Later, Kaitlyn Bristowe pays a surprise visit, leading an emotional date where Clayton and the women bravely open up about their insecurities. Becca Kufrin stops by to plan an extreme scavenger hunt for the one-on-one date in downtown Los Angeles; and back at the mansion, one of the ladies unknowingly sets off a new set of drama dominoes when she cooks the house a shrimp snack. Then, it's time to kick up some sand when former "Baywatch" star Nicole Eggert takes the second group-date ladies through some romantic lifeguard training; but when the date doesn't end as expected, one disappointed woman is ready to make waves yet again. Will Clayton reward her efforts to protect him by giving her the group date rose or be pushed to his limits? Find out on "The Bachelor," airing MONDAY, JAN. 24 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on ABC.

Are you ready for Hometowns Week, Bachelor Nation? This week on The Bachelor Season 26 we’re going to see Clayton Echard meet the families of the final four women in their hometowns. Gabby, Serena, Susie, and Rachel will take Clayton to meet their family members, and we can only imagine how that is going to go down.

In the past, hometowns week has usually been filled with awkward moments, intense arguments, and potential breakup scenarios. I don’t think this week is going to be any different, especially with how this season has been going.

I’ve been complaining a lot about this season, but honestly, it’s just been so lackluster. The drama is unbearable, the contestants are over the top, and Clayton is either following the production’s lead way too much, or he’s just making bad decisions.

Whatever the case is, I wish that things were different heading into hometown week. Alas, this is not the case, but here’s to hoping things improve before everything is said and done.

And with that, here are all the details you need to know for how, when, and where to watch tonight’s episode (which I really hope is entertaining and filled with love–please?)
