17x07 - Week 6

[bunniefuu]

Tonight on[/i] "The Bachelorette."

[dramatic music]

Welcome to an art exhibit.

All of the art pieces look...

flowery with a twist.

[laughter]

I'm falling
for some guys already.

Oh, my God!

And I want to narrow in
on who my person is.

I'm just jealous.

I'm falling for you.
I really am.

Until you have a one-on-one,

you 100% are behind.

At this point, each rose
I give out means Hometowns.

It's do or die, boys.

I've always said
I want a good guy.

I'd rather
have my heart broken

than break somebody's heart.

Then I get handed
a group of them.

No one can love you
like I can.

I want
to put so much into this.

It could all be for naught.

I'm desperate.
My back's against the wall.

I told her,
"I'm not in love with you."

[sobs]

This is so hard. Ah!

There's this possibility
of sending home

the wrong person.
I'm losing it.

The one thing
that's keeping me going

is the hope... Andrew.

That this is all
worth it in the end.

[panicked breathing]

And it all starts right now.

[relaxed music]

♪ ♪

Looking around this room
is pretty crazy right now.

We almost practically
got cut in half yesterday.

I wasn't expecting
that drastic of a cut.

Kind of makes everything
really real.

Four guys
went home last night.

It's down to seven.

I woke up, you know,
just blessed to be here.

Well, I mean,
there's Hometowns coming up.

I mean, this is
the biggest turning point

in everyone's experience here.

I'm excited about Hometowns
'cause, my family,

they just kind of know me
better than I know myself,

and they know,
you know, what I need,

but I gotta get there,

and there's a lot
of conversations

that I need to have with Katie,

so I'm looking forward
to getting more time with her.

I think, this week,
we're gonna all have more time,

so that's,
like, really something

we can all, like,
smile about, look forward to.

Some very meaningful
one-on-ones.

That's for sure.

Maybe for two guys
who haven't had one yet.

The only two
that haven't had one-on-ones

are Brendan and I.

I definitely want the one-on-one

because that one-on-one would
be leading into Hometowns,

and my family is
extremely important to me,

and if they like her,
that is gonna really make me

really think engagement,
marriage in the future.

It's a big week,
but I honestly trust

that Katie knows
exactly what she's doing.

I know you were
so overwhelmed yesterday.

Are you feeling
a little bit better today?

Yeah, I think that was
kind of the biggest thing

last night, you know,
as I'm hugging them

and saying good night
to the final seven,

I was just like,
"This just feels good."

Good. "This feels right."

Yeah. You know?

And so I'm actually
really excited

going into this week
with this core group

of guys
who I have connections with

and hopes for, and I don't know.

It just feels like
a fresh start, you know?

Yeah. Good.

Do you kind of know
who you want to bring

to Hometowns already?
I mean, I will say this.

There are some guys
who I feel very confident in.

I'm like,
"I want to meet your family."

Yeah.

But I don't know
who my final four guys are.

Yeah. You know?

And I'm struggling
a little bit

because, this week,
I have two one-on-ones...

Okay.

And, in some ways,
I want to continue

these strong relationships
I have and use that

to just strengthen
our relationship

especially heading
into Hometowns,

but then, on the other hand,

there are two guys
who haven't had a one-on-one,

you know, and it's like,
do I use this one-on-one time

to really explore that more?

And so that's something
I'm kind of struggling with.

You have your hands full.
Yeah.

You have so many things
to think about now.

I want to start narrowing in
on who my person is.

Yeah. You know?

And, this week,
I really have to start asking

the tough questions
and really looking deeper

at the relationships
that are forming.

Mm-hmm.

♪ ♪

You know,
I'm not gonna lie to you.

Until you have a one-on-one,
you 100% are behind.

When I was in your position,
I always thought like,

"No, I can, like--"
you need to get that.

I know what a one-on-one can do,

and, like, you have to have it.
It's impossible to not.

That's all I really want,
a whole day and night with her.

[knocking]

[soft dramatic music]

But, you know,
I hate to just be like,

"I'm the one
who needs time with Katie."

'Cause I know you have a lot
of stuff to talk about.

Blake has a lot of stuff
to talk about.

Andrew as well. Mike a well.

I feel a little bit behind,
but we're all

in the same boat here,
I think, so...

Katie and I need to take
a huge leap at this point.

When I'm with her, it feels

like we have
the best connection.

It feels like we can just
take over the world together.

It feels great.

But how are we gonna
play catch-up at this point?

And if I get a one-on-one,

that's gonna give me my answer.

♪ ♪

If I get the one-on-one,

the message she's sending me
is like, "I want to know more.

And I think you're
worthy enough to know more."

So I'm hoping that today
is, like, my day.

"Greg, let's see
if this can really work."

"...Love Katie."

Ah, man. Breathe, big guy.

Yeah.
You deserve it, breathe.

I know. I know.

I just wasn't
expecting that, you know?

I know, but you deserve it.

I mean, this is
just like an opportunity

to really build
on something here.

I was not expecting that.

When he said "Greg,"
I could not believe it.

[chuckles]

Yeah, I'm ecstatic right now.

All I can think about is
just, you know,

spending more time with her,

and I'm glad
I get that chance today.

I mean, it's been a while

since that
first one-on-one, you know?

[sighs]

All right, my dudes.
Have fun, big guy.

You guys have a good day.

Um... [chuckles]

I'm just jealous.

I'm just jealous.

I'm trying to figure out
how I get that this week.

How can I make up
what Greg's gonna have today?

I have a hard time
believing the connection

that I have with Katie,
that she has that

with anybody else
to that extent.

I really--I can't see it.

But a second one-on-one
can get somebody there.

Greg has been consistent,

and he's consistent
with my girl.

Him getting another opportunity

to talk to her... dangerous.

Well, hello.

We're matching! [chuckles]

Why is that so cute?
I swear.

Come here.

Ooh, hi, hi, hi, hi.

I missed you. Mm.

It's a big day.
It's a really big day.

It's a big day. Yeah.

I'm just hoping,
if there's another one

this week,
I get a good sh*t at it.

I'd be lying
if I said I wasn't jealous

of what Greg's got,
'cause he's going to get

that reassurance.

I need that reassurance too.
I have a son.

I'm a single father.
I take care of my in-laws.

How does it work for Katie
to move in to this life?

I can't go into Hometowns
with all of these questions

floating in the air.
We all need that time.

Engagement's
not too far away, boys, right?

So obviously
these one-on-ones are huge.

How's it feel
getting out of the house?

Amazing. Good.

I will say last week
was probably the hardest week

Today I chose to have Greg
on this one-on-one date

I really like him.

We had the first one-on-one,
which, at this point,

feels so long ago.

Like, this is like
the hardest thing

I've ever done in my life.
Yeah, you're telling me.

But he's only been
on group dates since,

and, for me, that's hard.
I'm sure for him that's hard.

And so, for me,
it's important that Greg and I

have this time together
because it really has

been a while since we've
been able to be alone.

We, like, actually are matching.

Why is that so ridiculous?
You're the worst.

Stop it. [laughs]

Well, today I thought
I would show you

a little piece of home...
Okay.

So I've set up some things
that remind me of Seattle--

Seattle dogs?

There's no Seattle dogs today

Pike Place Market in Seattle,

they throw, like, a fish?

Oh, God, yeah,
throw me that sucker.

you can catch it?

Come on,
throw me that bad boy.

This is what they do. Okay.

It changes everything.
It does, dude.

What changed for you,
like, when you went on yours?

Going in, dude, she already

just being able

to understand parts of me that,
you know,

no woman
has really understood yet.

Yeah.

And to have a full day
with someone

to really understand,
like, what it's like,

every day with this woman,

Cool.

I'm serious.

How are you doing so far,
like, in all of this?

This--I...

It was just--

it's been
a roller coaster for me.

I loved getting
that one-on-one early with you.

It just, like,
validated the connection

I believe you and I have,

and then it was really tough.
I'm not gonna lie.

I mean, I think that you
saw it in me a lot,

and, like, you'd remind me
in, like, your little ways

that, like,
we do have something,

I don't know how I'd be able

feel sad or angry.

I'm just, like,
I don't know, caught up

in, like, you

snap out of it for a minute.

It also sucked that we
had our one-on-one

I don't think
I could've waited another day

Hometowns are coming up.

Yeah, it is crazy to think.

Yeah.

I was like, "This is somebody

that is hard for me

is...

Because of Hometowns
being next week,

Our date today, it's beautiful
