'The Bachelorette' season 12 episode 8 recap: JoJo visits hometowns of four remaining hopefuls [Watch Clips]
Original air date on ABC: July 18, 2016; Next episode airs on July 25
JoJo has a very tough choice to make, considering that the remaining four men bear striking similarities to one another. With this, maybe having the final four each bring her home to their families would, somehow, help her make that big decision.
First, Chase takes JoJo home with him in Highlands Ranch, Colorado where she would have to meet his parents separately since they have been through a terrible divorce. Chase does not take this lightly considering the show’s fictitious premise that love is forever.
Chase might appear to be the tough guy amongst the final four, but decides that it would not be appropriate to confront his father on national television as to why he chose to get a divorce. They then meet Chase’s mom and the rest of the family. There, while Chase was talking with his mom, a tear falls off his cheek.
Next, JoJo is taken to Jordan’s high school while he reminisces on some memories. JoJo then asks Jordan about his enstranged celebrity brother, NFL Star Aaron Rodgers. Jordan dismisses her questions and does not appear interested in talking about the matter.
JoJo then says that Jordan has told her everything she wants to hear and that he is the only one she likes and that the rest are in line to getting sent home.
Then, JoJo heads to St. Augustine, Florida to meet up with Robby. He then takes her on a tour of his hometown with a horse and a buggy. Something from the past, however, bothers JoJo and this is that Robby and his long time girlfriend just broke up three months ago.
Upon meeting Robby’s parents, JoJo confides this concern to them as she does not want to be a rebound. Robby’s parents are assuring, telling JoJo that she should embrace the past. JoJo then admits that she is falling in love with Robby.
Lastly, Luke takes JoJo with him to Burnet, Texas and does the awkward move of inviting 50 of his friends. JoJo found this quite unpleasant.
On the Rose Ceremony, JoJo plans to send Luke home, but the episode ends right before such decision is final.
