Living out loud in the Carolinas

BBs it’s Hometowns! One of my favorite episodes because we get to see where these knucklehead men come from! I was up in the mountains last week celebrating my 50th birthday so you get a double dose of Bachelorette recaps today!

First up is Aaron in Houston, TX.

Today we are going to meet Mom, Dad, 2 brothers, and a SIL. Mom really likes Charity after their conversation. Dad even tells Aaron that Charity is a keeper! After meeting the fam, Char & Aaron go to his high school football field. It’s night and all the lights are on. Aaron has letter jackets for them and champagne. He tells C he’s falling in love with her as they dance to the same song they danced to on their first date. It’s v sweet and Charity is crying happy tears.

Next is Joey in Collegeville, PA.

Charity and Joey play tennis and Joey gets to show off his coaching skills. He’s v patient with her. Uncle Joe surprises them by appearing at the tennis courts. Uncle Joe was Joey’s mentor and tennis coach. Then we meet Joey’s family. Mom, Dad, 2 sisters, BIL, and Uncle Joe. While Char is chatting with one of the sisters, she confesses that she’s falling in love with Joey. Turns out Uncle Joe is super skeptical of the Bachelorette process. He even goes so far as to suggest to Charity that she may not know the real Joey! This is v concerning for C, as she had planned on telling Joey she’s falling in love with him. But instead, she leaves in tears and a v confused Joey is wondering if this is goodbye.

Xavier in Cleveland, OH is next.

X takes Charity to a knitting class. It’s v cute and sweet!!! Then it’s time to meet the fam. We meet X’s mom who is battling MS. X’s sister LOVES Charity after their chat. Xavier tells Char he’s falling in love with her.

Last we have Dotun in Fresno, CA.

Apparently Dotun’s parents are on their annual trip to Nigeria and can’t be there to meet Charity. Just as Charity and Dotun get settled in for dinner with his other family members (including a v cute Grandma), SURPRISE! Dotun’s parents arrive! His parents adore Charity and shower her with gifts. Afterwards, Dot & Char take a gorgeous classic Thunderbird to a drive in theatre where they watch home videos from their childhoods. It’s v sweet!

Rose Ceremony

We are back in LA for the rose ceremony. All the men are looking extra sharp in their suits and in some cases, tuxedos. Dotun get’s the first rose. Then Xavier, then Joey. Charity walks Aaron out and she’s v emotional, in tears. She’s questioning her decision.

Next up- Fantasy Suites! See you in a bit BBs!!! xo 🌹
