The Golden Bachelor's journey is heating up, and the drama is real! After a week of emotional dates and tough decisions, Mel Owens has chosen his final three women who will be introducing him to their families during Hometown Week. But who made the cut, and who's saying goodbye? Let's dive in!
This week's episode kicked off with a group date at Butterfly Mountain, where the ladies aimed to shed negative energy. Amidst mud baths, ice plunges, and tantric yoga, Mel sought one-on-one time with each woman. However, two Golden Gals stood out – but not in a good way.
First, there's Nicolle. After weeks of public displays of affection and talk of leveraging her newfound fame for an influencer career, she revealed her plans to Mel. She shared her interest in monetizing her Instagram and authoring a cookbook. But here's where it gets controversial... Instead of a heartfelt response, Nicolle was all business.
Then, Carol realized her connection with Mel wasn't progressing as quickly as the others. She self-eliminated, recognizing that they hadn't built a strong enough bond.
Next, Mel had a romantic one-on-one date with Cindy Angelcyk Cullers, a 60-year-old retired biomedical engineer. They shared a horseback ride to Griffith Observatory, where Cindy opened up about her past and her feelings for Mel. He gifted her a star, and the night was filled with kisses and stargazing. It was clear Cindy was headed to Hometown Week.
But who didn't make the cut? Cheryl and Nicolle were sent home. Nicolle, in true form, couldn't resist stirring the pot on her way out, even suggesting Mel call her if things don't work out with his final choice.
So, who's going to Hometown Week? Here are the lucky ladies:
- Cindy Angelcyk Cullers: a 60-year-old retired biomedical engineer from Austin, Texas.
- Debbie Siebers: a 65-year-old fitness professional from Denver, Colorado.
- Peg Munson: a 62-year-old from Las Vegas, Nevada.
What do you think? Will the families welcome Mel with open arms, or will there be some skepticism? What did you think of Nicolle's exit? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
