But the rest of the men took note and also pulled Vassos aside for one-on-one time to tell her how they felt about her. Most of them also told her what it would mean to them for her to meet their families during hometown dates.
However, at the end of their bowling date, despite having a connection with all the men, it was clear that Vassos' connection with Chock was the strongest out of all them.
\"I absolutely see a future with you, and I think that's been obvious for a while, you know that,\" Vassos told Chock.

Who went home?
Before handing out the roses, Vassos told the men how heartbroken she was about sending Mark home, but shared that she is looking for someone to spend her golden years with.
\"That's why each rose ceremony becomes harder and harder,\" she said. \"This is the hardest one yet.\"
In the end, Vassos said goodbye to Jonathan and Keith.
