AceShowbiz - Michelle Young's love journey continued in an new episode of "The Bachelorette". In the Tuesday, November 16 episode of the ABC dating competition show, the Bachelorette brought the remaining men to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Kicking off the night was a one-on-one date between Michelle and fellow Minnesotan Joe. They went to a Minnesota Twins baseball game as Michelle walked down a memory lane at her high school. "I feel like Joe would've been my crush in high school because he played basketball, he has a good head on his shoulders, and is good-looking," she said in a confessional. Joe felt the same as he felt it was "probably the best date I've ever been on."
During the nighttime portion of the date, Joe opened up about his injuries that impacted his life. The injuries made him struggle with anxiety and depression. At one point, Joe even contemplated suicide. Both Michelle and Joe cried following revelation before they shared a kiss. Michelle gave him a rose.
"Today was the most powerful, special, perfect, stars-aligning date I’ve ever been on. I feel like you have two souls that have kind of been living side-by-side without even knowing it, and I feel like today we got brought together," Michelle said. "I am very excited to see what the future has in store for me and Minnesota Joe."
Later, Michelle and some other men headed to U.S. Bank Stadium, where NFL's Minnesota Vikings play. In a twist, the men had to compete to be the true Viking instead. They even wore Viking gear and Clayton was named as the Ultimake Viking at the end of the game. He had a good time with Michelle, while Chris S. continued to complain about not getting a one-on-one date with Michelle.
Nayte and Michelle then enjoyed their date, cruising the lake on a boat. The two were later joined Michelle's friends, Allie and Tia. They had a good time together and her pals could notice their chemistry.
Later during their date, Nayte got candid about his past toxic relationship. Meanwhile, Michelle opened up about getting seriously ill from a toxic relationship. She told Nayte that instead of taking care of her, her then-boyfriend ended things.
They were then interrrupted by Chris. He told Michelle that he felt "played by the whole situation" before warning her against making "the wrong decision." Chris accused her of being "fake" toward him during the group date. That prompted Michelle to slam Chris for not having "a good attitude" during the outing. Michelle unsurprisingly walked Chris out.
At the cocktail party, Michelle spent some time with Rick, Brandon, Rodney and Martin. Her conversation with Martin, however, was a little bit awkward. During rose ceremony, Michelle decided to give her rose to Martin, Rick, Olu, Brandon and Rodney, Casey and Leroy were eliminated.
