For all you fans of 'The Bachelorette', Season 18 has proved to be quite the whirlwind of a season. With plenty of romance and just as much drama, there have been some significant fights, arguments and more. Now, as the season draws to a close, Michelle has to make the all-important choice -- who is the man she'll be walking off into the sunset with?

The Men-Tell saw Michelle and the cast deal with all the drama that happened during their season -- from Will and Peter's fight to Jamie's behaviour and finally, Martin's apology. With the past now behind her, the question is, when will we see Michelle finally profess her love?

When will 'The Bachelorette' Season 18 Episode 9 air?

If you've blocked your Tuesday nights exclusively for 'The Bachelorette', we're pretty sure the 'Men Tell All' episode threw a wrench in your plans. However, with two more episodes remaining, including the 'After the Final Rose' special, you can continue to keep that Tuesday night slot blocked. While there is no episode lined up for December 7, Episode 9 is all set to air on December 14, at 8 pm ET, which is the regular programming. You can then catch Episode 10 on December 21 at 8 pm ET, followed by the 'After the Final Rose' special on the same day at 10 pm ET.



 

Who will Michelle Young pick?

After eliminating Rodney, it is now down to the final three -- Nayte, Brandon and Joe. And while there certainly seems to be plenty of chemistry with all three of them, there can only be one winner. While Brandon has been consistent and vocal about his feelings for Michelle all season, Joe charmed her right from the get-go, seeing that their pre-show interaction, although abrupt, prompted her to give him another chance. And then there is Nayte, who was the first guy to meet Michelle on the show and had instant and fantastic chemistry with her throughout (plus, it helps that her friends adore him too). So, if you don't have the patience to wait, now you don't have to. 'The Bachelor' blogger Reality Steve, known for his fairly accurate spoilers, posted who would be the winner at the start of the season. Since then, he's reinforced this information, turns out the winner is Natye Olukoya! While Brandon Jones makes it to the top two, it looks like it was truly love at first sight for both, Michelle and Nayte.

Regardless of who walks away with Michelle, who would have been your final pick? Would it have been a man from the top 3 or someone else? Sound off below!
