It’s time for Michelle Young to make her final pick on season 18 of ‘The Bachelorette.’ Will she end up with Nayte Olukoya or Brandon Jones? Follow along here for live updates of the Dec. 21 finale.

The Dec. 21 finale of The Bachelorette has Michelle Young down to her final two guys: Nayte Olukoya and Brandon Jones. During the episode, she’ll have one more date with each guy before introducing them to her family. Considering Michelle admitted to being in love with both Nayte and Brandon during fantasy suites week, there’s a lot of pressure going into this week, which she is hoping will end in an engagement.

Michelle’s first finale date is with Brandon. Brandon actually already got to meet Michelle’s family during a date in her hometown earlier this season, and he already seems to fit right in with the family. Michelle’s dad even says that Brandon would be accepted into the family with open arms if Michelle chooses him, and her mom tells him that she would be “so happy” to have him in the family. Michelle is thrilled with how things went, and said the day was “perfect.”

The next day, it’s Nayte’s turn. He opens up to Michelle’s family about being in love with Michelle and how it’s the first time he’s felt these feelings. Michelle’s parents admittedly get a “different vibe” from Nayte, and find Brandon to be “much warmer” right off the bat. While Brandon flat-out said he would move to Minnesota for Michelle, Nayte admits that he’s “not sure about the logistics” of his future with Michelle, which is a red flag for her family.
