DeAnna brings ten of the men to a dude ranch, when an argument erupts between Ron and Jeremy.

One of the dinners is surprisingly tense, while another family tells DeAnna not to break his heart, and a third guy's mother is shockingly frank and candid. Yet it's the fourth guy's family which makes her feel wanted and at home, but she is confused over which is more appealing... the bachelor or his family. The rose ceremony finds one more fellow sent home and the remaining three preparing for their dates.

In the fourth-season finale, DeAnna has a choice to make between the two finalists after taking her two suitors to Grand Bahama Island and home to Georgia to meet her family.
