‘The Bachelorette’ Two-Night Event Begins With the Surprising Overnight Dates and
       Continues with ‘The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All’ on Tuesday, July 26


“Episode 1209” – A startling finish to the rose ceremony after the hometown dates will leave three men to be swept away for more romantic adventures in the exotic country of Thailand. There is electricity and passion in the air during these amorous excursions, as JoJo continues to explore what her future would be like with these potential partners. She will spend special intimate time with each of the final guys, and there are possible invitations to spend the night in a “fantasy suite.” Will JoJo gain some clarity and come closer to finding her true love, or will more uncertainty and doubt surface just one week before she might entertain a proposal? And will her feelings of love for more than one man get in the way of her happy ending? Another stunning rose ceremony forces JoJo to search her own heart and finally pick the two men she wants to introduce to her family, on “The Bachelorette,” MONDAY, JULY 25 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on the ABC Television Network.

Editors’ Note: “The Bachelorette: The Men All” will air on Tuesday, July 26 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT).


JoJo takes her first date on stroll through an authentic floating market. The two try seafood dishes, immerse themselves in the culture and share an intense kiss during a rainstorm. JoJo is overwhelmed and remembers back to when Ben told her he loved her and then broke her heart. Can JoJo be certain this man won’t leave her brokenhearted? The bachelor gives her an unusual memento to remind her of his promise of everlasting love, but will it be enough?

Her second date in Thailand finds JoJo hiking through one of their beautiful national parks with another of her handsome suitors. They climb up a steep mountain, but are rewarded when they reach a stunning sacred temple hidden in a mystical cave. They discuss their possible future together and the delightful hometown visit they shared. The couple is unable to kiss or be physical inside the hallowed cave. Is their relationship based on physical chemistry, or is there an emotional connection as well? That night after the man gives less than satisfying answers about what he envisions their future to be like, JoJo pressures him. He pours out his heart as he attempts to convince her about how serious he is about their relationship.

As JoJo heads into her final date, she has creeping sensation of déjà vu. She realizes she is in love with two men and possibly could also fall in love with the third. The couple takes a boat ride to a secluded beach. After discussing the amazing hometown experience they had, JoJo realizes how strong her feelings really are for this man. What happens that night in the fantasy suite shocks both JoJo and the bachelor and will lead to a tumultuous conclusion!

JoJo needs to come to grips with her overwhelming emotions and the reality that she is in love with more than one amazing man. Will she be able to make the right decision? With only two roses to give out, she must trust her heart and her gut in the end. But before she can give out the first rose, there is a stunning interruption. How will it affect her decision, and will falling madly in love with more than one man derail her dream of finding the love a lifetime?

The four remaining men are:

Chase, 27, a medical sales representative from Highlands Ranch, CO

Jordan, 27, a former pro quarterback, Chico, CA

Luke, 31, a war veteran from Burnet, TX

Robert “Robby,” 27, a former competitive swimmer from Jacksonville, FL

Looking forward to this one.

Tumultuous conclusion?  What does that mean??   Hmmm.. steamy night in the fantasy suite did not meet her expectations, haha.

She should have kept Luke!

SLA -- thanks for posting ^^^^^.

However, I wonder why these guys have to be such bullies.  I will probably skip most of Tuesday night.

As much as she talks about her connection with Jordan, she is still quite unsure of him... even this late in the game.

Is it just me or is she coming across as one messed up chick? 

Her hurrying after Chase and telling him that that can't be the last thing he thinks of when he thinks of her... how the hell did she think he was going to feel? She lets him believe that all is wonderful and he tells her what she wants to hear and bam, sent home.

Sometimes this show is beyond words.

JoJo's not looking too bright tonight.

Understatement of the year. 

Luke wasn't expressive enough and it cost him.

Agree.  Inviting 50 of his friends to a family meet & greet didn't help either.

I find it hard to believe that Jordan is so into her.  He seems like he hasn't sowed enough wild oats.

But even Luke said he wasn't expressive enough and regretted it.  I missed their date last week.

I think JoJo likes guys who are more outgoing and that's why she picked Jordan and Robby.

I thought Luke did some bad acting tonight...the exit speech was as believable as the flower heart he made. Puts him in the right category for the next bachelor! At least he will be good eye candy but it will be pricey flying all of his fifty best friends to the final location...haha

I took it for bad acting as well, DDS10.  He made a wrong turn with me on the HD date and didn't recover, I guess.  His "shock" last night seemed more that he couldn't believe she wasn't into him (after all that gazing into her eyes and posing.)

When one does not have a favorite, the show gets pretty boring.  I rolled my eyes a lot during the first hour last night - then turned it off.  I find I don't care who wins this contest, since JoJo seems fake to me, too.

SLA44 wrote:Luke meant in saying the ILY.  He gave her his heart at the end of his HTD at a heart made of flowers at the end of a candle lit path.  If that isn't expressive enough for her she has a real problem. IMO

I'm sorry, but the candle hearts were so cheesy.  It was so contrived by the producers and it totally turned me off.  I wonder if JoJo felt that too.
