Summary
We’ve made it to Hometowns on Mel Owens' season of The Golden Bachelor, and Ben and Ashley are ready to recap every golden moment!
Ben reveals why THIS is the episode he’s been begging for. We find out which of the ladies has been more impressive with every episode, but Ashley holds nothing back when telling us how she feels about Mel.

Plus, a surpassingly intimate conversation sparked by… a spray tan.
