Who went home on 'The Bachelorette' week 6? Here's what happened, who is the next 'Bachelor' lead

Last night's episode of "The Bachelorette' got a little bit "Wicked," in some good ways and some very dramatic ways.

After spending weeks in Australia and New Zealand, Jenn and the men headed back to the United States. They landed in Seattle, allowing Jenn to spend special time with the men before deciding who gets a hometown date.

It was over a month ago when Bachelor Nation saw 25 men declare they were out for Jenn's heart and hand in marriage on the premiere episode. Now, ABC's hit reality show has dwindled down to just four suitors after the sixth episode and none of the three Florida men from week one are left.

Here's what you missed on the sixth episode of "The Bachelorette" last night, how many men are left and other exciting announcements in "The Bachelor" franchise.

Who went home on 'The Bachelorette' week 6?

Here are the two men Jenn sent home during the sixth rose ceremony:

• Grant, 30, a day trader from Houston, Texas

• Spencer, 30, a pet portrait entrepreneur from Dallas, Texas

Before the rose ceremony started, Jenn went to speak with Devin's rival in the house, Sam M., a 27-year old contractor from South Carolina. Sam went home before the ceremony even began.

What happened on the last episode of 'The Bachelorette?'

Last night’s episode of “The Bachelorette” kicked off with a reflection from Jenn, who met with former Bachelorette Charity Lawson, to talk about how hard it is to pick one man out of seven.

This week, Jenn whittled the group of men down to a final four. Those final four men will progress to “Hometowns” week, which is when each of the men take turns bringing Jenn home to meet their families.

What did the group, one-on-ones dates on 'The Bachelorette' look like?

This week the men were in Seattle, Marcus’ hometown. Appropriately, he was the first one to snag a one-on-one date with Jenn, which makes the second one-on-one the two have been on together.

In honor of Seattle’s nickname being “The Emerald City” and the “Wicked” movie releasing this Thanksgiving, Marcus and Jenn’s date was “Wicked”-themed. Jesse Palmer swept them away in a green trolley and took them to a yellow brick road. Jenn’s friends and fan-favorites from Joey’s season Daisy and Kelsey were waiting for them on the yellow brick road – one in a green dress and the other in a pink dress, to pay homage to Galinda and Elphaba.

Their date ended with a surprise appearance from the very first Bachelorette, Trista Sutter, who showed the couple to a hot air balloon, where they hovered above Seattle and “defied gravity” (pun intended).

On their dinner date, Marcus opened up to Jenn and told her that he and his sister grew up in foster care after his parents dropped them off at daycare and never came back for them.

“I had to take on the role of looking after my sister… Families would try us on for size and there (were) a lot of times when I thought I was going to have a mom and dad and me and my sister would end up back at a foster home,” Marcus told Jenn.

“I think that experience kind of made me feel like there was something wrong with me… I want a love that’s going to stay when anyone else would leave.”

Marcus walked away from the one-on-one with a rose, which means he is the first man to secure one of four spots during hometown week.

The group date was a radio interview, which is pretty unorthodox for a Bachelorette date. Jenn described it as a "who loves Jenn more competition."

When asked how he felt about Jenn, Sam M. went off on a nonsensical tangent, full of metaphors, about reckless love and pouring into others’ cups.

“I have been saying this since I got here: That Sam, he talks for the life of him, but nothing ever comes out of his mouth,” Devin told the camera.

“I am so confused,” Jenn told the camera. “I don’t feel like his answers make sense to me, and I’m not sure how authentic his answers are. All the other guys in the room are being open and honest and I appreciate that.”

The interview continued without the rest of the men off-air, just Sam and Jenn. And it didn’t go well. When Jenn asked Sam what his first impression of her was and how it’s changed over time. He didn’t actually answer directly, but told her that she is not his type and that he was originally expecting the Bachelorette to be Daisy or Maria.

Devin had a great night at the group date after party, where Jenn told him that she was falling in love with him. However, the date went much worse for Sam. When Jenn was questioning Sam during their one-on-one conversation, he stopped her and told her he loved her.

“I am frustrated and confused. Where is this coming from?” Jenn said in an interview. “To not be able to back up such a bold proclamation … I don’t feel like it’s real to me.”

The second one-on-one date went to Jeremy. They went to the iconic and historic Pike Place market, home of the very first ever Starbucks.

Jeremy really leaned into the date, even popping behind a flower stand to make her a bouquet. They got fortunes from a coin-operated fortune machine and also had their palms read. After strolling the market, they put gum on Seattle’s gum wall and learned how to catch fish from the market employees.

During their dinner date, Jenn told Jeremy she wanted to dig into the more serious side of their relationship. They talked about Jeremy’s family history and his Jewish upbringing, which he hopes to carry on to his children. She mentioned that she’d like to carry on some Buddhist traditions to her children and they discussed what a mixed faith family would be like.

“Jeremy makes me feel seen and heard,” Jenn told the camera. “I’m Buddhist and having two different cultures come together is never easy. But Jeremy and I talk a lot about faith and religion and hearing him talk about kids, family and tradition makes me feel reassured that we can get deep and there is another side to him.”

Jeremy was given a rose, the second man to secure a hometown rose in the episode.

Drama before the rose ceremony: Jenn sends Sam M. home

Before the rose ceremony, Jenn went to Sam’s room to discuss their group date hiccup and the fact that he couldn’t describe what he likes about her, but randomly blurted out that he loved her.

She asked him what it means to him to love somebody and he said that love “is selfless, sacrifice and listening to the person in front of you, always validating them in any way that that means.”

“You’re saying all the right things, but it’s just hard for me to believe you,” Jenn told him. After more back-and-forth, Jenn sent him home before the rose ceremony even began.

“I can’t do this. I can’t sit here with someone who says that they love me, but doesn’t even really want to get to know me and understand me and see me,” Jenn told him.

“I’ve been through this so many times – teaching people what love means, teaching people how to prioritize me. I’ve closed this chapter of my life already and I’m done. I’m done with it.”
