'The Bachelorette' Will Be Back Before You Know It

There's some pretty sad news for everyone who was hoping to spend July 3 on the couch with red wine and Rachel Lindsay. The Bachelorette isn't new this week, most likely because of the holiday, which explains why they had two episodes last week. There are six men left vying for Rachel Lindsay's heart and fans are pretty excited for her journey to continue. The Bachelorette will return on July 10 with a new episode and a new set of fabulous one-on-one dates and it seems like Adam and Matt might finally get their moment in the spotlight. (They have to at some point, right?) However, if someone else gets a one-on-one who's already had one, there might be some serious drama in the house.

Not that this season has been drama-free or anything. In the end last episode, Rachel sent home so many people, starting with Lee during the two-on-one. Then, later, she sent home Kenny because she wasn't feeling it enough to keep him from his daughter. And then she cut Will while they were on their date in Sweden. It seemed like there was no physical chemistry in their relationship and she couldn't justify him being there anymore. Then at the rose ceremony she sent Alex packing. That was even more confusing because it left Adam and Matt, who I don't think have ever had a moment on-screen. I think everyone could use a week off to get outside and celebrate America, but I want to talk about future episodes because with only five left, there's still a lot of stuff fans need to see.

More Peter

I know that Rachel and Bryan seem like the strongest couple at the moment, but I am still team Peter. The last time we saw them, they were getting hot and heavy in a hot tub. I'm ready for them to have another one-on-one date. 

The Death Of Adam Jr. 

I'm sorry, but that doll is creepy and I'm ready for it to be gone from random shots throughout the episode. If that means getting rid of regular Adam, I'm all for it. 

Rachel's Past

Do we know anything about Rachel's past? Honestly, I don't even remember her talking about her own life on Nick's season that much. I want to know more about her as a person and what she's looking for. 

Rachel's Family

We first met Rachel Lindsay's family on Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor and they had some super open and honest conversations about race and dating. I think it will be really important for her contestants to meet them and get the Lindsay family stamp of approval. 

Hometown Dates 

Everyone loves a good hometown date. I can't wait to meet Peter's family as well as Bryan's. Let's be real, it's pretty obvious they're making it back home. I also want to learn more about their past relationships. I can only hope we run into one of their exes on the street, like we did in Nick's season.

Kenny's Redemption

I'm ready for Lee vs. Kenny round two at the Men Tell All. I really need Kenny to be redeemed after everything he went through. 

Rachel's Happily Ever After

I just want Rachel to find someone, get married, and have adorable babies. Is that too much to ask for? I hope there's a proposal at the end of it all. 

The Next Bachelor Announcement 

I know it's wishful thinking that they'll announce the next Bachelor at After The Final Rose, but a girl can dream, right? 

The final countdown has begun.
