Bachelor Nation, the end is near. On Monday night, we finally made it through hometowns dates on Rachel Lindsay‘s Bachelorette journey — and they were every bit as entertaining as we’d hoped.
Hometown Date With Eric
First up, Rachel flew to Baltimore to get to know the city that Eric grew up in. The two met up in what Eric called the “nice” part of town — but that’s not where his childhood home was. After some catching up, they hopped in a car together and he drove her to his old basketball court, where he introduced her to one of his good friends,...

Former Bachelor contestant Desiree Hartsock is calling the shots and handing out the roses as the current star of The Bachelorette. The bridal stylist will blog all season long on People.com about her dates, the guys and the difficult decisions she must make. You can also follow Desiree on Twitter.I always dreamed of traveling the world - and I never thought being on The Bachelorette would be my chance. Boarding the plane to Germany, I had butterflies because I had never been to Europe. On the flight I daydreamed of romantic dates, castles and finding my prince charming.

This past week on The Bachelorette, Desiree Hartsock and her men spent the weekend in Atlantic City and it was a whirlwind of dates. The audience watched as things heated up with James Case and fizzled with Brad McKinzie. Also, the hilarious Mr. America competition hosted by Des was the highlight of episode 4, that, and seeing the cutest couple alive, Manny and Jan, celebrate their 38th wedding anniversary.

It’s always great when I get to walk into the mansion and let the guys know that it’s time to pack their bags and hit the road. It’s also fun to see how excited they are when they learn where we’re headed. Our first stop on this trip around the world with Des is Atlantic City, New Jersey. We stayed at the beautiful new Revel hotel.Brad got the first date this week and it didn’t exactly go well. You could quickly see that he and Des had no connection. Des is big on chemistry,...

"The Bachelorette" heads to beautiful downtown post-Hurricane Sandy Atlantic City! It seems a bit like the bachelors have been promised a black-and-white television if they attend a grueling pitch for time shares, but I'm sure ABC has found a way to make this jaunt seem just as fabulously romantic as the others. Yay! The first one-on-one is with Brad, and Des is (at first) having a fabulous time. They're riding the Slingshot! They're eating chocolate-covered pretzels! It's so romantic! Gosh, Brad's so handsome! Des notices they're having an easy, fun-filled time together. Give that man a rose! But not so fast....

Thirteen eligible men bid farewell to the Bachelor mansion and said hello to Atlantic City, New Jersey Monday night to embark on the around-the-world portion of their quest to woo Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock.
Accountant/DJ Brad McKinzie was the first to earn a one-on-one this week, and Des didn't venture far from the hotel for their date, opting to take in the thrills of the boardwalk as she attempted to become better acquainted with the single dad.
Though the fun-filled day had the pair often smiling from ear-to-ear, conversation was awkward from start to finish which made Desiree realize she didn't exactly "see forever" in her suitor.
Pics: Meet Desiree Hartsock's Hot Hunks!
"I think that something was missing," she confessed of their time together. "I cannot give you the rose tonight. I didn't want to take any time from you or from Maddox."
Said a tearful-yet-understanding Brad, "She made the right decision for herself."

The shirts were off and the claws were out on the June 17 episode of ‘The Bachelorette,’ as Des made her men compete in a beauty pageant, and it was way more eventful than ‘Miss USA.’
If you didn’t think there was anything more degrading then going on The Bachelorette, then you were wrong! In this week’s episode Desiree Hartsock‘s men take their shirts off and get their sexy out to compete in a Mr. America pageant, and yes, it’s every bit as horrendous as you can imagine. Des and her men headed to Atlantic City where she had one immensely awkward date, but all was good when she got to judge the rest like prize meat.
Desiree’s Dud Date With Brad
Ugh, this was the worst. Desiree and Brad had a date on the shore at Atlantic City, and awkward doesn’t even describe how terrible this date was.

Check out these clips from next week's "Bachelorette" episode, where the gang heads to Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Above, on the group date the guys have to particpate in the Mr. America Pageant, complete with a talent portion. Excellent. Though why some of them are wearing heels is beyond us. It is certainly a "hodge podge of tomfoolery."
Meanwhile, Brad and Desiree tour a salt water taffy factory, but Dez wants to sniff out the chocolate. Mmmmmm.
Finally, Dez and James tour the Hurricane Sandy-ravaged coast by helicopter, then sit with Manny and Jan looking at their wedding album. They're a couple who lost almost everything in the hurricane. Aww.
Do you think both Brad and James get a roses? We think they do.
"The Bachelorette" airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. Et/Pt on ABC.

There were broken fingers and broken hearts as Desiree’s men dodged balls and lassoed hay bales for her love, while Kasey and Des enjoyed some not sexy pool time. Plus, one contestant got an unexpected visitor, and things really got dramatic.
So much drama went down on this week’s episode of The Bachelorette! The June 10 episode begins and Desiree Hartsock is knee deep in balls. Dodge balls that is! Another week, another ridiculous group challenge, and I can safely say this was the most dramatic episode of all time.
The Boys Play Dodgeball For Desiree’s Love
Is there better way to find your potential husband then by making them compete for love through a ridiculous sports challenge? No!
The boys begin by practicing with National Dodgeball team and its a bit of a bloodbath. Chris Harrison arrives, and you know things are serious when he is wearing plaid.

Now that we've weeded out the real weirdos, let's get down to business on "The Bachelorette," shall we? If you've always been wondering why reality shows don't do more rap music videos, well, you're in luck tonight -- this show has the answer.
Brooks' Date
Kix gets the first date (Kix Brooks, get it?). He's the guy I think looks like Kevin on "Shameless" (pictured here). Right? It's uncanny. Anyway, their first stop is at Desiree's bridal boutique (where she works, not that she owns). And they leave in their wedding finery.
Desiree likes how Kix is having fun with it, but what else is he going to do? Throw a big fit? I maintain this is a weird start to the date, especially with all those extras they paid to freak out at the cupcake truck.
Then they head up to the Hollywood sign, where they get...
