Mel Sparks Concern as He Feels ‘Conflicted’ During Hometown Visits — See the Teaser!
Meeting the families.
Bachelor Nation has been watching Mel Owens look for love each week on “The Golden Bachelor.”
This week, Mel chose his final three women — Cindy, Debbie and Peg — and now will be meeting their families as he heads to Hometowns.
In the teaser for what’s to come next week, Mel admits, “Last time someone took me home to meet their family was over 25 years ago. So, it’s a big deal.”
We get a glimpse into his Hometown visit with Debbie, in which she tells a loved one, “He is everything I’ve ever wanted and more.”
Peg takes Mel to her firehouse to meet her fellow firefighters, and also gets teary-eyed as she tells a family member that “at the end of this process, I could be engaged.”
We then see Cindy tell a loved one she might be in love with Mel, to which her loved one replies, “But does he love you?”
Suddenly, concern sparks as Cindy wonders if she’s “missing something” with Mel, and other family members start to voice their doubts as well.
One of Debbie’s loved ones tells Mel that she hopes he’s being sincere, and Peg’s daughter asks the Golden Bachelor if he’s in love with her mom.
Mel responds, “I don’t know,” which leads her to voice to Peg, “My biggest concern is that you’re not being appreciated as much as you deserve.”
As Mel gets ready to choose his final two women, he admits that he’s feeling conflicted over the decision.
He expresses, “I want to fall in love again, that’s why I’m here. But I’m conflicted… It’s going to be a really difficult decision”
Tune in next Wednesday at 8 p.m. on ABC or stream the next day on Hulu to see how all of the Hometown dates and drama unfold!
