‘Chicago is destined for a hometown hero’: Bachelorette contestant Andrew Spencer reflects on his time on the show, and those rumors he’s to be the next ‘Bachelor’

Spencer, a football player who has played three seasons with Austria’s Dacia Vienna Vikings, was sent home during the seventh week of Katie Thurston’s season of “The Bachelorette,” just one week before the process known as Hometown Dates. Spencer’s family was already quarantining in New Mexico, where the show was filmed, when Spencer was sent home by Thurston with a heart-wrenching goodbye.
