full size Emily Kisses Jef in Curacao in Bachelorette Season 8 Promo

The time has come for The Bachelorette Season 8 hometown dates, wherein Emily Maynard will pack a suitcase full of sequin booty shorts and observe her suitors in their home environments. Obviously, we're most excited about seeing Jef Holm's family ranch in St. George Utah, which is described as a "desert paradise" by ABC!

Emily and Jef spend their trip ranchin', shootin', and tourin', and Emily is blown away by Jef's country boy charm. But will she live up to his family's high expectations? Don't forget that Jef has broken up with gals in the past thanks to his hard-to-please parental units, and Emily is overcome with nerves when she meets his siblings.

Pshhh, whatever! There's no way Emily won't impress Jef's family — in fact, his brother says she seems like the "kind of woman to motivate this on-the-go bachelor to settle down." Awww, it's all happening people!

Even better? Jef plans a special surprise for Emily, which promises to be "one of the most romantic hometown moments in Bachelorette history." Please join us as we pray for the return of Emily and Jef's marionettes.
