'The Bachelor' Season 23 episode 8 review: Fans think Colton sending Caelynn home was a blunder, we agree

While many fans hoped Underwood would send Randolph home and keep Keyes, he did just the opposite. Keyes was eliminated and sent home with a broken heart.

'The Bachelor' season 23 aired its eighth episode on Monday. And this week it was the hometowns chapter. We saw Colton Underwood visit the remaining four contestants' families and during his visit, Underwood had some alone time with their fathers. He spoke to them about his intention to potentially marry their daughters, if he ended up choosing them and asked if he had their permission to do so. This was one criterion Underwood was particular on, and he was sure he did not want to move forward with the women without the permission of their fathers. 

While fans were excited to watch the hometowns this week, they were even more excited to see one thing in particular, and that was Underwood's fence jump. Teasing an emotional scene wherein Underwood jumps a fence in one fell swoop, ever since the first previews, the series has now gotten fans agitated. Hoping this will be the week they get to witness Underwood jump the fence, fans and viewers were once again left disappointed because he didn't.
