Episode 8 spoilers
Reality Steve blogs in "The Bachelorette" spoilers that Rachel will first visit Bryan's family in Miami, Florida. A video was released of the couple spending time at Little Havana Domino Park where they watched a bunch old fellas playing dominoes.
The second hometown date was with Peter in Madison, Wisconsin. Some images were captured of Rachel and Peter visiting Cask & Ale on State Street; it was there that Rachel met some of his friends. Later on, there was dinner at Peter's parent's house in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin. In previews for episode 8, Peter's mother tells Rachel that she doesn't believe Peter is ready to give his heart to a woman.

In other "Bachelorette" 2017 spoilers for the hometown dates, Rachel visits Dean Unglert's family.
As seen in episode 7, Dean was apprehensive about Rachel meeting his family -- especially his father whom he said never stepped up to be the parent he needed after his mother died. Previews for the next "Bachelorette" episode showed Peter's father living inside a rundown house and he comes off just as "eccentric" as he warned Rachel he'd be.
Episodes are typically heavily edited, but the clip implied that there's going to be some dramatic issues for Dean.
Eric Bigger is the final hometown date for Rachel Lindsay. Not much information is doled out by Reality Steve, but filming took place in Baltimore, Maryland and the couple visited Harborview Towers.
Elimination
Who was eliminated in hometowns?
According to Steve, the rose ceremony happens at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas; Dean was let go.
Once the final four were narrowed down, they went to meet Rachel's family, which is in Dallas. Reality Steve wrote that the gatherings took place at an undisclosed location and not her family's home. The reason for this is tied to the fact that her father is a federal judge and it's thought that this was the purpose for extra protection.
The final three going into the overnight dates are Bryan Abasolo, Peter Kraus, and Eric Bigger. The Fantasy Suite dates will take place in Spain. Who do you hope Rachel keeps around for the finale episode?
"The Bachelorette" 2017 hometown dates air Monday, July 17 on ABC at 8 p.m., ET/PT.
