‘The Bachelor’ spoilers: Will Whitney Bischoff, Jade Roper talk hometowns with Chris Soules?

While next week’s new episode of “The Bachelor” is not going to be hometown dates, it is going to get you a whole lot closer to that big part of the competition. This is where Chris Soules has to figure out whose families he wants to meet. He has to pick four of the remaining women, and there quite a few components that you have to think about here. Just remember that you don’t want to waste anyone’s time, or act like there is a family you care nothing about. Don’t waste a family’s time.

At the moment, there are many interesting choices. Jade Roper, for example, has quite an interesting past, and we don’t feel like her story has really been that explored yet. Meanwhile, Whitney Bischoff is relatively close to Chris in Chicago, and we wonder if Kaitlyn Bristowe could actually take Chris all the way to Canada.

Before we get there, though, there are other dates! These are some of the most romantic and important of the season, and should help Chris to ease his mind a little bit. Right now, we feel like Whitney and Britt Nilsson are the obvious favorites, but as we’ve learned over the course of years with this show, things can change almost in the blink of an eye.

The only real guarantee that we can offer after the episode tonight is pretty simple: We are NOT going to be seeing as a part of this episode either Kelsey Poe or Ashley Iaconetti. Each left the competition this week, but in very different ways.
