'The Bachelorette' recap: Suitor's lies end in shocking elimination

WATCH: ‘Bachelorette' sneak peek: unpacking the rumor that Michelle and Joe knew each other

"The Bachelorette" continued Tuesday with Michelle Young and her suitors dealing with the aftermath of Jamie's rumor about her having a previous relationship with Joe.

Rick, a 32-year-old medical sales rep from L.A., assured Michelle that the men in the house had her back and, during their conversation, he learned the rumor came from Jamie.

Rick shared his discovery with the other suitors, which led to a series of confrontations with Jamie.

As awkward as that was for Jamie, who tried unsuccessfully to dodge their questions, it was nothing compared to the tongue lashing he received from Michelle -- in front of the other men, no less.

Michelle led Jamie outside for a private conversation and sent him home after telling him, "I don't trust you at this moment, and I have to be done with it."

Also sent home on Tuesday were LT, a yoga guru from Bellevue, Washington; Mollique, an academic administrator from San Diego; Peter, the pizzapreneur from Florida; and Spencer, a financial crimes analyst from Cleveland, Ohio.

Earlier, Glen Powell and Jay Ellis -- stars of the upcoming movie sequel "Top Gun: Maverick" -- challenged a group of men to prove their love for Michelle with a series of physical and mental competitions. At the end, it was Martin, the personal trainer from Miami, who earned the date rose.

Later, a group date led by spoken-word poet Rudy Francisco had the men testing their poetry skills, with Brandon J. scoring his second group date rose.
