ABC is back with Season 18 of 'The Bachelorette'. The reality dating show includes our main star, Michelle Young, who hasn't given up on love and is ready to find her soulmate on show.

On the episode that aired on Tuesday, November 30, Michelle Young had to once again narrow down from the final four - Joe Coleman, Nayte Olukoya, Brandon Jones, and Rodney Mathews. Although it was a difficult choice, Michelle took the call and picked three men over Rodney, who seemed so close to winning the show since the chemistry between him and Michelle felt so real and pure.
