‘The Bachelorette’ Two-Night Event: Fantasy Suite Drama, ‘Men Tell All’ Craziness Is Must-See TV


Get ready for a double dose of Bachelorette drama this week with back-to-back episodes of ABC’s popular reality show airing on Monday, July 25 and Tuesday, July 26, leading up to next week’s romantic — and dramatic — season finale.

Chill the wine and get the snacks ready — here are some of the highlights from the two-night Bachelorette extravaganza. Some spoilers are included, but the winner of JoJo’s final rose will not be revealed in this article.

According to ABC, this week’s two-night event kicks off on Monday night with the continuation of last week’s hometown date rose ceremony elimination followed by the overnight dates that lead to a whole bunch of chaos in the Fantasy Suite for one of JoJo’s suitors.

On Tuesday night, Bachelorette fans are in for some drama and laughs — the two-hour Men Tell All special begins at 8 p.m. ET. In addition to all but two of JoJo’s suitors talking smack about each other, the Bachelorette will show up on stage to address some of the most controversial contestants of the season.

Episode 9 (July 25) — Hometown dates rose ceremony, overnight dates episode

According to Reality Steve, this episode will feature two eliminations — one of JoJo’s guys will leave during the hometown dates rose ceremony, and another will be eliminated in the midst of a Fantasy Suite date.

Last week fans were left with a cliffhanger, and although JoJo was certain she would send home Luke Pell, she appeared to change her mind when he pulled her aside and told her that he was in love with her.

It’s too late, Luke — your name was already on a one-way ticket home. Poor Luke couldn’t redeem himself despite the report from Us Weekly in which JoJo revealed that her chemistry with Pell was “crazy.” Fortunately, Luke may be able to try out that “crazy” chemistry with 25 or more women — he’s rumored to be the frontrunner to become the next Bachelor.

Chase, Jordan, and Robby head to Thailand after the hometown dates rose ceremony, but they won’t be sharing a hotel room.

JoJo will go on one-on-one dates with all three of her suitors, and then offer them a key to the Fantasy Suite for some alone time that may or may not include the need for protection. And yes, condoms are available per Bachelorette host Chris Harrison who tells the Huffington Post that the Fantasy Suite has “anything you need to have safe sex.”

One of JoJo’s suitors, Chase McNary, won’t even make it to the bed with JoJo when he enters the Fantasy Suite on Monday night. According to a previous report from the Inquisitr, JoJo has a change of heart and dumps Chase just minutes after they enter their private room.

Reality Steve states that Chase will return during the rose ceremony, but he doesn’t want a second chance. Instead, he apologizes for blowing up in the Fantasy Suite and then heads home to Colorado.

On next week’s season finale (August 1), Jordan and Robby will be the last two men standing, and JoJo will have to reject one proposal before accepting an engagement ring from the man she hopes to spend the next few weeks — or the rest of her life — with.

Episode 10 (July 26) — The Men Tell All

Taped on July 16, JoJo’s suitors — minus Jordan and Robby — will talk smack about each other and get to see the Bachelorette for the first time since they were eliminated at various rose ceremonies throughout the season.

Spoilers point to Chase, Luke, Chad, and Wells getting called up to the hot seat, but several other men will also talk about their time on the show.

According to ET, Alex W. is “still crushed over his breakup” and tells JoJo he was “numb” when she sent him home. That’s a bit dramatic for someone who went on one date with JoJo, but that’s why fans love watching the Bachelorette.

Reality Steve reports that the guys will all be in their seats when Chad Johnson comes out from backstage to shake things up on Men Tell All. The preview (video above) for MTA shows Chad saying, “You wanna fight me?” — fans can expect Alex, Chase, and a few other guys to respond (verbally) to his request.

Watch the Bachelorette Episode 9 (overnight dates) on Monday, July 25 at 8 p.m. ET followed by Men Tell All at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, July 26. Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher will hand out her final rose during the three-hour season finale on Monday, August 1 at 8 p.m. ET.
