The 28-year-old, Season 18 lead kicked off the episode by going on a school-themed group date alongside three kids. “I feel like nothing is more revealing than a classroom,” Michelle said, before running the men through a series of fifth grade-level questions and challenges. That was followed by Michelle’s first one-on-one date and a second, basketball-centric group date. Naturally, there was some drama. Peter Izzo emerged as this season’s early villain, while Jamie Skaar started a rumor that Michelle and fellow contestant Joe Coleman had a relationship before the season started—then tried to pretend like he’d merely overheard that gossip when he repeated it to Michelle. So, which contestants got the boot this time around—and which of the luckier dudes were rewarded with group date roses and one-on-one dates? Find out who Michelle Young sent home last week on Episode 2 of TheBachelorette Season 18—and who got her roses.
Who got Michelle Young’s first group date rose on The Bachelorette?
Brandon Jones, the traveling nurse recruiter from Portland, Ore., got the first group date rose. During a one-on-one interview with producers, he said that he thinks it was his “authenticity” that won Michelle over. “I’m falling for her,” he added.
Who got Michelle Young’s first one-on-one date on The Bachelorette?
Jamie, a biotech CEO from San Diego, got Michelle’s first one-on-one date. But he made it clear that he wanted to see whether she was the right fit for him, something that rubbed some of the other men the wrong way. Jamie and Michelle went rock-climbing on their date and seemed to get along pretty well. Jamie shared some pretty intense personal details during the dinner portion of their date, including how his mom committed suicide when he was 24 years old. Michelle teared up over his backstory and gave him the rose.
Who got Michelle Young’s second group date rose on The Bachelorette?
The second group date was focused on basketball, a sport Michelle played in college. (She told the guys that b-ball was “my first love.”) Joe, who also played basketball in college, stood out on the date. “Joe was in his element,” Michelle said at one point. Joe ended up getting the MVP award for the game and was invited to the afterparty, even though his team lost. At the afterparty, Joe and Michelle bonded over their shared love of basketball and the recent death of Joe’s former coach. Joe got the group date rose at the end of the night.
