Desiree Hartsock may have started to get to know the four remaining men on the Bachelorette, but this week she got to meet their families.

Zak W.'s Family

After spending some time abroad, Des returned to the states to make a stop in Dallas, Texas to meet Zak's family. Desiree got a chance to see how the 31-year-old would be as a father when they deliver Sno Cones to elementary school students before going to his parent's home. There Zak admitted he was in love with Des before giving her a promise ring he purchased in Atlantic City.

Drew's Family

The first stop Drew and Des made in his hometown of Scottsdale, Ariz was to go and pick up Drew's sister Mellissa. Severely mentally handicapped, Mellissa lives in a home with other disabled adults and it was very important to Drew to see how Des would handle this part of his life. Des was impressed by Drew's devotion to his sister and Des got along well with her. Following meeting the rest of his family, Drew also told Desiree that he loves her.

Chris's Family

After Arizona, Des traveled to Oregon to met Chris's parents. The couple started off the day by playing baseball on the fields where Chris grew up. Des then had the daunting task of winning over a family who rejected many of his past girlfriends. However, all went smoothly and the pair seemed to be growing closer.

Brooks' Family

While Des has admitted to the host that she is in love with Brooks, he has yet to say anything to her. In Utah, Brooks appeared to be holding out on falling totally in love and Des suspected it was because he was worried about her dating three other guys. However, he said it was difficult to be without her. Meanwhile, Des asks his mother if she thinks Brooks is ready to take that step.

Rose Ceremony

After talking to her brother and making sure he would not scare off any of the men like he did while she was on The Bachelor, Des ultimately decided who would not make it to the next week. Unfortunately for Zak, he did not receive a rose and was eliminated, after which Des returned his promise ring.

Next week all the men would be back for a reunion, including the recently removed Zak.
