The 2016 season of The Bachelorette is now more than halfway over, and it’s getting down to the final guys for JoJo Fletcher and her heart. There are now just six men remaining and it’s at a point where JoJo has to make some truly difficult decisions as she heads toward her hometown dates. For that to happen, though, she has to get the number down to four, but fans will have to wait a bit longer to see it all.
Please let it be known that there are possible spoilers ahead for the current season of The Bachelorette starring JoJo Fletcher. If you don’t want to know them, stop reading now.
Just like last year, the Fourth of July falls on a Monday and that is when new episodes of The Bachelorette are set to air. Well, up until a few days ago, it wasn’t known what the schedule would be like, but our host Chris Harrison filled everyone in.
Good news I was just informed we won’t air an original #TheBachelorette episode on the 4th. So go enjoy your holiday!!!

IB Times also confirmed that there will be a short hiatus before JoJo spends some more unsure time with Alex Woytkiw and James Taylor.
So, this has already happened once this season and it was during the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. When that happened, there was a two-night special with double episodes and it’s possible that may take place again.
With Bachelor In Paradise set to premiere on Aug. 2 and five episodes of The Bachelorette left, there will likely be another double-up week sometime in July. Sometimes, having two is better than just having one.
Why couldn’t JoJo give out that final rose? We’ll let her explain. https://t.co/7bGCuH9IVZ pic.twitter.com/kZFR1yUD4j

As that has now been made official, Episode 7 is the next to air in this season of The Bachelorette , and it’s going to come down to two guys being sent packing and four remaining for the hometown dates with JoJo Fletcher.
JoJo and the remaining guys are still in Argentina at this time, and Reality Steve has some of the information for the dates , but not a lot. What is known is that there will be two one-on-one dates as well as a group date.
The first one-on-one is going to be with Alex W., and it’s going to get extremely awkward. Not only does he tell JoJo that he loves her and can see himself with her forever, but then she sends him home and that’s just bad.
Now, there is not going to be a rose ceremony in Episode 7 as one more guy will be sent home, but it’s going to happen on another date. It isn’t yet known if it will be the group date or the other one-on-one, but James Taylor is getting his walking papers.
So, that will leave JoJo’s final four guys and the hometown dates as:
- Luke Pell
- Jordan Rodgers
- Robby Hayes
- Chase McNary
Please remember that ABC does often edit the episodes of their shows in different ways. What you read here is going to happen, but it could take place across multiple episodes. This is even truer now that it’s known that there will be one week with two episodes airing.
Last time, ABC really enjoyed the editing fun with the rose ceremony eliminations taking place at the beginning of each episode and not the end.
After the end of Episode 7, it won’t be good news for all of the remaining guys on The Bachelorette as its going to be the end of the road for two of them. JoJo Fletcher now has just four men chasing her this season, and next week will bring about the hometown dates where things truly get serious. Are the spoilers legit and is her Prince Charming already known? The only way to really find out is to keep watching each week on ABC.
