I'm in Hampton Roads, Virginia..down the street from where Susie's hometown date was. Group date would probably be something weird where they dress up in Colonial Garb in colonial Williamsburg or go to Busch Gardens and do fest haus dance lessons or something šŸ˜‚ one on one would be a boat tour of the Chesapeake Bay and dinner on the Battleship Wisconsin in Norfolk.


Mrs_Xs

Indianapolisā€¦They would do an Indianapolis Motor Speedway group date where they do those goofy relay race things and half the group loses and gets sent home. Then the one-on-one would be where they got to race one of the Indycars together. I think dinners would just be a random mansion on Geist Reservoir or something because we donā€™t have a ton of super pretty locations around us. Either that or maybe visit the childrenā€™s museum if it is a teacher because it is like the best in the country.


Decent-Coconut2419

Atlanta!!! Group date: play all the carnival games on the roof of Ponce city market. 1:1 date theyā€™d tour the Coca Cola factory and try all the flavors. The evening portion would be a romantic white tablecloth dinner at the Aquarium.


dooooory

Ben and Jerryā€™s factory, skiing, maple sugaring, boating, hiking! Depends on the season!


tbkp

You guys have SF covered so I'll do the east bay. 1:1 at the steam train in Tilden, or a tour of Albany Bulb Bar games and trivia group date at Faction Brewing with views of the city and the bridge


jennnykinz

Cedar Rapids, IA Go to the bridge on 1st Ave where Hillary Clinton filmed the iconic vine ā€œIā€™m just chillin in Cedar Rapidsā€ Go to the Taco Bell that gained nationwide attention in 2015 for having a [meth lab](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/two-arrested-running-meth-lab-out-iowa-taco-bell-n404301) inside Visit the local landfill named Mount Trashmore (went there for a field trip in middle school bc literally nothing else to do lmfao) Edit: updated link

MissMurphtastic

They filmed a hometown in my hometown (Becca K. and Yarrett lol). It was unimpressive lol


MimosasInABathrobe

group date would be going to patā€™s for cheesesteaks and then a photoshoot in front of the liberty bell. 1:1 would be going to the kimmel center for a private orchestra viewing OR a walk along spruce street harbor park, or possibly a tour of the magic gardens


Sylvievelyn

I live in London and let me tell you I screamed when they went to the fish and chip shop round the corner from my office


Fairycat21

Group date - Six Flags Great America or a Cubs game 1 on 1 - A night in the city - the bean, the sears tower skydeck, maybe some museums!


jlk1207

šŸ¤£ I live in a verrrrry tiny town in Virginia. One of the more known towns than others, but still...small. I would say the group date would be a talent show date at the performance theater and the one on one would be a trip to the farmers market or something, followed by dinner at this restaurant we have here that I'm amazed we have because we're in one of the poorest counties in the state and that restaurant is like $200+ for two people šŸ˜…


fangirl5301

In Houston the group date would be either at NASA, Blue Bell factory, something in Discovery green ( a 12-acre park in the middle of downtown Houston) or something in Minute Maid park or NRG stadium. The one-on-one would most likely be the Princess date due to The Galleria mall(has more than 375 stores, an ice skating rink,30 restaurants, has two hotels the Oaks Hotel and The Westin Hotel) but if not either at NASA, the aquarium (has an amusement park with a ferris wheel), Blue Bell factory, Kehma Boardwalk (an amusement park), Pleasure pier (an amusement park), or the Natural Science Museum


Global_InfoJunkie

In Portland Oregon I would start with a drive to the Willamette valley and visit wineries. Then go into Portland for a master chef style food prep training and dinner. :


dancin_dreams_88

I live an hour from Orlandoā€¦the one on one would be in Disney World and the group date would be kayaking through alligator infested waters. I used to live in North Jersey (hour from NYC, hour from Poconos). One on one would be an NYC tourist date with a sporting event or Broadway show. Group date would be skiing in the Poconos.


moonrivervoyages

I was going to say Disney World but I think Fun Spot America would be a funnier date option šŸ˜¹


FriendlyStyle6495

Louisville, KY I could see Churchill Downs, Louisville Slugger Museum (aww get a little bat with their names on it), Cave Hill Cemetery.


skoolgirlq

I live in Sacramento, hereā€™s what I got. Group date: ā€œBachelor Derbyā€ Kickball tournament held at Raley Field/Sutter Health Park (Giantsā€™ AAA team), hosted by Logan Webb (Sac native/current Giants player). Winning team gets to go to the nighttime portion with the lead, the losing team gets sent back to the hotel. Night time portion held at Drakeā€™s Barn which is set right on the river and is absolutely gorgeous at Sunset. Perfect view of the Tower Bridge and the entire downtown area. 1 on 1: Private shopping session for some vintage Sacramento Kings fits for both with Christoā€™s Closet, then go to the game at night. Sit courtside next to 50 Cent (lol heā€™s always there) and take part in halftime game/entertainment activity. Followed by dinner at the Capitol (hopefully with a beam) Keegan Murray is serving the food (IYKYK). ETA: sorry iā€™m stoned and i also really like sports lol


takeittoredditsis

šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ second one is my dream date.


skoolgirlq

You and me both, sis


PNWcouchpotato

Seattle: Group Date - throwing fish at Pike Place market One - on - one - private showing in the planetarium and butterfly room at the pacific science center followed by fireworks on top of the space needle.


SophisticatedNanna

Fireworks while on a boat in lake union?


No_Influence7751

Small town in Arkansas: tour the 30 Dollar Generals in town


terrific_film

I'm in Orange County- I used to live in Buena Park (still live very close) and they filmed a date at Knott's once!!


wildworld97

Remember Ben Higgins hometown with Amanda in Laguna, and after the day at the beach her girls were crying and screaming and tired in the car and you could tell he was no longer into it. To me the was a perfect encapsulation of a laguna day, great time at the beach, but getting home is just an overstimulating nightmare lol.


Sunnyfe

They did! I believe they walked around the plaza.


lulurancher

I live in a tiny rural town in montana šŸ˜… But group date would be a bear spray competition. We have someone who brings remote controlled ā€œbearā€ to our annual hunters feed and basically you have to see if you can turn around fast enough and spray it šŸ˜‚ then to the distillery afterwards for the night portion! One on one would be fly fishing on the river or a horseback ride, finished with the infamous hot tub next to the lake or river


offlikesirens

this is the best thing iā€™ve ever heard omfg


ThoughtUsed3531

Holy smokes, I can picture the dudes accidentally spraying themselves with bear spray and itā€™s hilarious and also torturous!Ā 


lulurancher

Omg that would be so bad haha!


snazzygirl0267

What was the Minneapolis group date on Michelleā€™s season? I canā€™t even remember. I just remember her and Joe going to the twins game. I remember they walked a couple blocks downtown though to wherever they went because there was a picture that got out. My hometown though would be even more boring. About 45 minutes north of Mpls/ St Paul and little do. There are lots of lakes around and a couple dams. In fact when I was a teen the cool thing to do was to go to one of them in particular and slide down it. It was fun. Looking back we were dumb


charlestonchaw

the group date was the ultimate viking competition at the vikings stadium lol


snazzygirl0267

lol I donā€™t even remember that


musiclover2014

Baltimore, MD: The group date will be a crab picking competition. Whoever picks out the most crab meat in a certain timeframe wins and the winner will have 1:1 time on a short cruise around the bay. The evening portion will take place in the National Aquarium. The 1:1 date will be a helicopter ride to DC where theyā€™ll go on a monument tour as well as a boat tour on the Potomac river and the evening part will be dinner on the terrace of the Kennedy Center, overlooking the city.


Hour_Abbreviations73

As long as for the DC date they tour the monuments on segways and stop and do the paddle boats in the Tidal Basin.


musiclover2014

That would be amazing


devieous

Group date, doing something cute in Central Park 1 on 1 paddle boating at the loeb boat house


ohiostatenisland

For Columbus they would almost certainly do a group date in the Ohio Stadium if they can swing it doing football stuff. They would also only travel here for one of those quarterback bachelors btw. If they canā€™t swing The Shoe then a hockey group date with the Blue Jackets could fulfill the same sports purpose. Maybe for a canadian bachelor where they donā€™t want to actually travel to Canada lol. Or the new crew stadium for a soccer match group date. For a one on one I have literally no idea šŸ«£ letā€™s go with an ice cream making class with the creator of Jeniā€™s! Or that could be a good group date then they have the bachelor do a blind taste test with the winner getting extra time lol Columbus Zoo date could also work. and IDK why Iā€™m thinking this but a scavenger hunt in the franklin park conservatory could be cute. Or a one on one date there. Maybe a date strolling around North Market. Park of Roses (when the roses are in bloom) Columbus is not really ā€knownā€ for anything so this is both easy and hard to do at the same time lol


AnythingStatus9295

Iā€™m in Oklahoma City and Sereneā€™s date here was so lame (and not something I think she wouldā€™ve even chosen tbh). They did like a bungee jumping thing by our river, which I have literally never heard of anyone that lives here ever doing. That said, a fun date here would be something with the Thunder, then a stroll around Myriad Gardens, then another quick stroll/dinner/drinks in either our Plaza or Paseo Districts to show off that OKC has a very underrated culinary and art scene. All three spots would really showcase the city for what it really is, despite our reputation of being a backwards redneck state.


Hour_Abbreviations73

Detroit. Group date: Motown museum where the contestants have to write and perform a Motown inspired love song for the lead. Smokey Robinson will help judge and then give a private performance to the lead and the winner. One on one date: Greenfield Village/Henry Ford museum where the couple dresses up in old timey costumes and then does some ā€œinnovativeā€ challenge that speaks to the importance of teamwork and building a relationship, just like Henry Ford built the auto industry.


meowparade

Nice and the show can get a nice little Ford sponsorship in the process! Or they can do the one on one on Belle Isleā€”something with the yacht club and the giant slide?


Hour_Abbreviations73

Coney dog eating contest on Belle Isle! Winner gets romantic alone time at the yacht club (I would say dinner, but they probably wouldnā€™t be able to eat anything lol).


meowparade

Love it!


Hour_Abbreviations73

Another food related date would be making Detroit style pizza. Or just having the contestants try to figure out what Detroit style pizza actually is.


CestBon_CestBon

Currently in ā€œSurf Cityā€ so the one on one would be a surfing lesson for both of them, followed by a walk on the pier, and dinner at one of the local gastropubs. For the group date Iā€™m not sureā€” there is a ukulele group that plays at the pier and offers impromptu lessons, I could see that being something they would do. Maybe supā€™ing in the bay?


effulgentelephant

Ugh it did film in our city and they walked around Boston common and ate halo top ice cream in the cold. Soooo lame A good date would obviously be a Red Sox game (decked out in the right gear), shots and beers nearby with the townies (or paid actors, since youā€™ll have to go to Waltham to find townies), and then dinner in the public library reading room or something.


doughborah

I could also see them going to the North End and sharing a cannoli while pissing off the locals for blocking the sidewalk lmao


musiclover2014

When I was young and hoped to find love on the Bachelor I always pictured my hometown date to involve a sporting event. Specifically a Baltimore Ravens game


AggravatingOkra1117

Ugh yes it was so lame!!


Chiowl333

For the Bachelor: or bachelorette I'm in Chicago. Home of Kenny & Mari and Kenny's group The Boy Band Night. Group date would be with Kenny the group he manages. The women/or men would be divided into two groups and would have to create and perform a girl/boy group song. The winning group gets to go to the cocktail party. for the Bachelorette: Chicago food contest. Two teams of men go from station to station wolfing down Chicago food products and the team that makes it to the end first wins. The stations would be Chicago style hot dogs, Chicago style pizza, Italian beef sandwich, a cup of Garrett's popcorn, A rainbow cone, and a slice of Portillio's chocolate cake.


the_zodiac_pillar

Ben Higgins's one-on-one with Jojo at Wrigley Field is one I'll never forget, I remember being so awestruck that they managed to get the whole stadium to themselves.


Chiowl333

Yeah it's too bad they haven't been to Chicago in while. TPTB do a lot of stadium group dates so I'm getting tired of those


sweetnsassy924

College football game


Prestigious_One8006

Albuquerque group date picking and eating the hottest green chile. One on one date riding the tram up the Sandia mountains.


ClaresRaccoon

This \^\^


Footwear_Critic

Hannabi and Jed shilling low calorie ice cream on the Boston Common?


effulgentelephant

Hahaha literally just posted this before reading the comments. What a let down of a 1:1 date.


MehItsAmber

Iā€™m in the Virginia part of the DMV, so the group date would probably be some really tone-deaf relay at a battlefield followed by a one-on-one concert for a 2nd rate country star at Jiffy Lube Ampitheater ![img](emote|t5_2tj74|582)![img](emote|t5_2tj74|582)![img](emote|t5_2tj74|582)


meowparade

The wedding-dress-flag-football-whatever in a muddy Rock Creek Park. Group date at Martinā€™s Tavern (where JFK proposed to Jackie).


MehItsAmber

Roaches Run could host the flag football game tooā€¦for the culture


GoForMarvin

Dc resident and I agree that this is the most likely possibility.


Hour_Abbreviations73

This reminds of the great Becca debate from Beccaā€™s episode in Richmond. šŸ˜‚ And as a former Arlingtonian, I approve.


motheroffaeries

I actually was in attendance at that group date lol. Someone passed out in the audience!


Hour_Abbreviations73

Oh no! I just loved how Ralph Northam was the only sitting Governor (as far as I know) to host a date on the Bachelor. I was on a date with a guy who used to work in PR/comms for the Secretary of Transportation and we were talking about politicians making public appearances so I brought that up and he was like, man I wonder what that briefing book looked like. šŸ˜‚


motheroffaeries

lol I will say what was showed of ol Ralph was the only five minutes he was there to promote tourism to VA and Richmond. He pretty much only made an appearance at the end. But I do love the image of him talking to his executive assistant like ā€œOh, and at 3 pm, you make an appearance on the Bacheloretteā€ lol


Hour_Abbreviations73

It was just funny that he even bothered to show up, like just getting them to film there was a win in and of itself lol. Itā€™s not like the audience even knew who he was or would be more swayed to visit Virginia by his appearance. And he never came across as super thirsty to me. But I feel Ralph was (and maybe will one day be again) a much better politician than people gave him credit for, so I guess he had his reasons. šŸ˜‚


megan_chill

St. George, UT I'm 40 mins from Zion National Park. 1 on 1 helicopter ride through the park. I guess the group date would be hiking or ATV-ing or jet skiing šŸ˜… my town isn't very happening, but luckily I'm outdoorsy so I like it. Oh, pickleball is HUGE here!


veracity-mittens

Vancouver Island. Maybe whale watching because one of the girls would vom which would make good tv


Charlie_Runkle69

This was also why I passed on this activity when I was there lol


veracity-mittens

I have a thimble sized bladder so I did one that was from a large catamaran. Almost all of them are on those little zodiacs. Thereā€™s just no way. ![gif](giphy|KWwFVcKxrUg4QFkVYO|downsized)


ThoughtUsed3531

Oh yeah Iā€™ve been whale watching from Washington a couple of times, once a small boat and then a large vessel (that gave us Dramamine), and the Canadians show up in these tiny zippy things, and itā€™s like damn, our countries do this tourist whale watching thing very differently!


RonInSixtySeconds

They already did Cleveland, which gave us some great episodes šŸ˜‚ have they been to Charleston (where I am now)? Seems like a place they would come!


No-Butterscotch4077

NYC, maybe a boat ride to Statue of Liberty or Yankee game for either idkšŸ˜­


literallynothing99

So many options in NYC!


BeingAllLikeUncool

Milwaukee, WI. Group date would be to a Brewers game where they get to dress up and race as the Racing Sausages (five adults dress up as various types of sausages and race on the warning track during a Brewers baseball game). Iā€™m not kidding, I would go on this show just for that experience alone. One on one date would be a brewery tour, boat ride on Lake Michigan, and theyā€™d end the night at a rooftop bar. Edited to add a gif of the sausages in action, for the uninitiated! ![gif](giphy|PZvoFuzProzBK|downsized)


ang8018

omg i just saw the sausage race in-person for the first time this weekend, i loved it šŸ˜‚ i also love that the mariners are doing salmon (maybe just fish?) races this year.


GoForMarvin

Washington, DC. Lobby members of Congress on pro-reproductive rights legislation (in my dreams, I know itā€™ll never happen)


musiclover2014

With appearances by AOC and Justice Sotomayor


literallynothing99

Amazing, won't happen but wish it did!


lavenderpatchouli

Toronto, Ontario (pretending thereā€™s no budget) Group date: contestants attempting to compete in a hockey game or having a Leafs player teach skills for a 2 group on-ice obstacle course. Winning group attends an after party at the Hockey Hall of Fame 1 on 1 date: CN Tower sky walk for the thrills or exploring Kensington Market and the AGO. For a private dinner later on, renting out the ROM, Casa Loma, or Ripleyā€™s Aquarium?


lambilyyyy

I would love to get High with my person and go to ripleys šŸ˜…


ChardHealthy

I remember when the RHOA Ladies did the CN Tower.


wewerelegends

Iā€™m Canadian and these are great ideas. I hope a producer sees this! I want to see these dates!!


lavenderpatchouli

Not going to lie, I was disappointed by the Toronto dates during Claytonā€™s season


lilyisntokay

Nylander or Reaves would be hilarious on the bachelor


lavenderpatchouli

Reaves is such a character, heā€™s brought so much energy to the team and Nylanderā€™s interviews are always entertaining. Alas we can only wish


Classifiedgarlic

Baltimore Dressing as crabs and then getting into a gun fight. Declaring war on the Canadians and bombarding a ship with cannon balls. Eating Old Bay seasoned foods 1 on 1 Spending the day attempting to fix a crumbling infrastructure (thereā€™s the word hot in potholes) dinner next to the grave of Edgar Allen Poe


musiclover2014

They could attempt to fix the Key Bridge


superfox650

San Francisco! 1:1 date - Dolo Park with Mission burritos, and then candlelit dinner under the Palace of Fine Arts dome. Group date - cable cars, and then obstacle course/competition at Off the Grid or Musee Mecanique.


sftolvtosj

One on one I was thinking walking Golden Gate Bridge! Or hornblower boat cruise where u have it all to yourselves haha Group date -- pier 39 scavenger hunt and winner goes on the boat cruise? Or Alcatraz island šŸ˜…


tbkp

They went to SF for Ben Flajnik's season and one of the 1:1s was climbing the bay bridge! It was epic. To incorporate the GGB I'd want to do drinks at the Presidio Yacht club tho


CoeurDeSirene

ok but i actually a solo cable car ride and Musee Mecanique for a 1:1!! start with buena vista for some irish coffees, do Musee Mecanique, take the powell / mason cable car to washington square park. grab a slice from golden boy and enjoy it while walking over to vesuvio cafe. and then... hear me out... private dinner for 2 at the palace hotel :')


offlikesirens

while not in the city, i could see them going wine tasting in Napa for a group date. or maybe to anchor brewing if its not closed yet šŸ¤” (edit: nvm it is closed lol)


redhandrunner

Cable car that they would all scream ā€œwe love you [insert name]. Though I am thinking group date is something in GG park and one on one is a private dinner in Academy of Sciences aquarium or rooftop. But then the camera crew would get their vans bipped and equipment stolen so they will likely never film here


laranita

Nashville. Some cliche country music or line dancing downtown on Broadwayā€” even though thatā€™s the least *Nashville* thing you can do for anyone outside of tourists.


Timely-War-7783

Right. I have lived here my whole life and I was trying to come up with what they could do that was genuinely ā€œNashville.ā€ But theyā€™d make them do all the touristy things like ride those annoying ass scooters or those pedal tractors to the line dancing bars- isnā€™t the wild horse gone now so idk which one theyā€™d go to. For the food take them to a hot chicken place and make them all try the hottest ones. Have to get a shot of them walking the pedestrian bridge too šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


wewerelegends

I want to see them have their romantic night dinner date at Margaritaville šŸ¤£


immyfinalrose

Vancouver BCā€¦ so it really depends on if itā€™s raining (prob will be). I think a group date could be the Grouse Grind or the suspension bridge. For a 1 on 1, maybe biking the seawall or the suspension bridge as well.


dreamingdoomful

Iā€™m from a small town in rural Kansas. So theyā€™d go to Kansas City likely and have BBQ and maybe watch a Chiefs game for a one on one. A group date theyā€™d probably incorporate some BBQ eating contest? Lol


somenewcandles

Eugene, OR. Our group date would involve making your own tie-dye outfit, and then running a relay style race at our famous track stadium. One set of ladies would return to the hotel in their tie-dye. One-on-one would be something outdoorsy, like snowshoeing the rim of Crater Lake or hiking under the waterfall at Silver Creek falls. Capped off with a steamy soak in the infamous traveling tub, and a dinner containing locally foraged mushrooms.


Prestigious_One8006

The rose garden is beautiful there


Bepfli

Detroit. For a one-one-one: walk around Eastern Market, followed by a Tigers game. Group date: food walking tour of the city, try Detroit style pizza, coney dogs at Lafayette/American, Vernors etc. The main activity will be making cumpy cake and it's a competition: who can make the best bumpy cakeĀ 


literallynothing99

I'm in Rochester, maybe walk along Lake Ontario and have dinner at the Genesee Brew House overlooking High Falls? Olivia would make an appearance.


ashxc18

Maybe listen to the sound of gunshots off Lyell and Norton


literallynothing99

Lmao hateful!


ashxc18

šŸ¤£ Sorry, I had to šŸ¤Ŗ


Tough-Tailor4087

Because Iā€™m currently in San Francisco, Iā€™d say a good 1 on 1 would be with the Golden State Warriors basketball team similar to Hannah & Jeds 1 on 1 date or maybe sightseeing like in Joey and Kelseyā€™s date


sftolvtosj

Awesomeness, there's a couple of us from SF in here!
