‘Golden Bachelor’ Hometowns Week Screeches to a Tearful Halt

Even during a typical Bachelor season, hometowns week is about as intense as it gets. You’re meeting skeptical family members, the big feelings are coming out, and generally, this is when everyone who has previously withheld any expectations suddenly gets their hopes up all the way to the rafters.
