Here are the latest spoilers and video previews to get you started before Episode 8 starts tonight at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
Rachel thought she was a frontrunner
Although ABC has already revealed that contestant Rachel Lindsay will be the next "Bachelorette," the 31-year-old lawyer will get a chance to introduce Nick to her family and, according to a recent interview with People magazine, she thought she would walk away with the final rose.
Although she makes it through the hometowns with a rose, things don't go quite so well during Rachel's Fantasy Suite date during the upcoming overnight dates episode (February 27). Rachel tells People she was shocked when Nick sent her home but it sounds like she's going to get a chance to find Mr.
Right when she meets the men cast for her season of "The Bachelorette."
Nick makes a big decision
The hometown dates are tough for Nick, especially after meeting all of the girls' families. He has to break one girls' heart and while fans may have expected him to send Rachel home, he makes a decision that many fans thought should have happened several episodes ago.
According to Reality Steve, Nick will head to New York City after hometowns and after meeting with his ex, Andi Dorfman, he faces his final four girls at the rose ceremony. After giving a rose to Rachel, Vanessa, and Raven, he tells Corinne that he is sending her home. Hopefully, her nanny has some cheese pasta waiting for her.
Although Corinne will appear to be devastated, chances are she will recover quickly. Or at least by early summer when "Bachelor in Paradise" starts filming — rumor has it that she'll be one of several girls who will join the cast and she may meet her match. Villain Chad Johnson has confirmed that he is heading to Paradise this summer, so get ready for some big time drama.
