The gang embarks towards South America and situate themselves at The Grand Hotel, a luxurious Uruguayan beach-front hotel, located in Punta Del Este, where “everything here is just really incredible”, according to JoJo. The other guys watch with envy as Jordan heads off to his date. JoJo will also have a sand boarding group date.

The Bachelorette 2016 finale teaser started with a dramatic voice over from JoJo Fletcher. “I read the whole article…like, three times”, James Taylor confirms.
Apparently, Robby broke up with Hope in March right before he started filming. His outrageously creepy and unwarranted return was met with confusion – and genuine worry from some that he came back to consume protein and kill them – but turned out to be more talky than … As Evan eloquently (and somewhat ironically) put it, jealousy and frustration about their lack of time progress with JoJo has turned some of the contestants into “Mini-Chads”. It’s apparently much more hard than it looks – and they are a hot mess.
After Chad leaves and JoJo eliminates James F., Daniel and Vinny at the rose ceremony that wasn’t shown on the last episode (May 30), the Bachelorette will jet off to Uruguay with Robby, Jordan, Chase, Luke, Alex, Derek, Grant, Evan, James T, and Wells.
Reassurance became a theme of the date. Following a slur in the media, JoJo must convince her suitors that the accusations made against her have no truth if she has any chance of keeping her search for love alive. He talks about his past and says he is a changed man. At dinner, he talks about how his best friend died in a auto accident and how it helped him fix his life for the better. “I don’t ever want a single one of you guys to think I’m faking this”, she said. We would definitely understand if he felt burned by her, but going to the tabloids is probably the one way he could guarantee that nobody would have any sympathy for him or his situation.
The Bachelorette came back from its NBA Finals-induced week off and picked up right where it left off, with Chad prowling through the woods of Pennsylvania while the other guys celebrated his elimination.
After the cocktail party, we get to the rose ceremony. Alex called Derek an “insecure little bitch”. You don’t know what to say.
In short order, JoJo gave roses to Luke, Chase, Alex, James T. and Wells. I was focused on one thing in my life – being the best football player I could be, and when I wasn’t, it was tough, and I took it out on people. On the other hand, Evan was never going to be in it for the long haul. Poor Vinny is in tears…
