Get to know the remaining contestants better before hometowns. Is it just us, or do these Golden Bachelorette rose ceremonies feel like blood baths? Last night, we went from seven contestants to a mere four. And THAT might have been the smallest elimination so far this season! Either production wants to move this along (meanwhile, we’ll watch as many episodes of this as they feed us) or Joan just really knows what she wants and is ready to get to her happy ending. If it’s the latter, we are in full support, even if that does mean fewer episodes and tougher departures.
