Given traveling was still difficult due to the coronavirus pandemic, Michelle's Final 4 bachelors will bring a taste and glimpse of their hometowns to her.
The dates will feature Michelle going apple picking and riding bikes with Rodney, skateboarding with Brandon, a romantic prom with Joe, and a paddleboarding date with Nayte.
One of the dates will include "a confession of falling in love," according to ABC.
"With so much at stake and so little time left, Michelle knows that tonight's breakup will be the most difficult of the journey so far, and after seeing some red flags, she begins to wonder if all of her men are ready for love."
In order to help Michelle determine her Final 3 bachelors, she will receive a surprise visit from two of her best friends, Bri Springs and Serena Pitt, both of whom competed on Matt James' The Bachelor edition.
The ladies will come to Michelle's rescue and help her navigate how meeting the men's families may have changed her outlook on the dating process and her future in general.
Michelle's Final 4 bachelors are Nayte Olukoya, a 27-year-old sales executive from Austin, TX; Rodney Mathews, a 29-year-old sales representative from Rancho Cucamonga, CA; Brandon Jones, a 26-year-old traveling nurse recruiter from Portland, OR; and Joe Coleman, a 28-year-old real estate developer from Minneapolis, MN.
Michelle chose her Final 4 bachelors after making some difficult cuts in Minnesota.

Although Michelle had been developing strong connections with the men, she chose to eliminate Olumide "Olu" Onajide, a 27-year-old IT analyst from Newark, NJ; Rick Leach, a 32-year-old medical sales representative from Los Angeles, CA; Clayton Echard, a 28-year-old medical sales representative from Columbia, MO; and Martin Gelbspan, a 29-year-old personal trainer from Miami, FL.

But she has only expressed such feelings to one man: Nayte.
"I'm definitely falling for you -- definitely, seriously, strongly falling for you," Nayte told Michelle during a date in Minnesota. "And I have genuinely never felt this way before."
Michelle responded, "My heart is beating very fast and not in a bad way. I feel very strongly about you and I am really tumbling, like, down a hill, so fast, falling for you as well."
But Brandon is so head over heels for Michelle that he asked her parents for permission to propose marriage if they ended up together at the end of The Bachelorette.
"I'm just hoping I'm her person at the end of all this," Brandon told the cameras after winning their approval.
Brandon later told Michelle, "I am falling in love with you. I know it's been so quick, but I am."
And Michelle felt confident in the fact Brandon was totally invested in the process and had given his heart to her.

"Without a question, he would be there for me," Michelle gushed in a confessional.
"I know how hard Brandon loves, and that's not something that you come by often. It's very possible that I could fall in love with Brandon, and I think tonight was the start of that."
Michelle also previously said the stars had aligned for Joe and herself and she felt like their souls had been brought together.
So who is Michelle's winner and which bachelor finished as her runner-up? And what are the rest of The Bachelorette spoilers for Season 18?
When describing Michelle's season as a whole, The Bachelorette co-hosts Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe recently told Extra TV that it was like "a fairy tale," suggesting Michelle may have found true love.
And Michelle told People last week, "I feel like I made the right decision in the end. It takes me a minute... [but I'm] very happy."
Michelle added how she's "in a good spot right now."
Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone reported that either Joe or Rodney finishes in third and second place.
Either Rodney or Joe goes home after hometown dates, and then the other guy will reportedly be eliminated after overnight Fantasy Suite dates.
"In terms of where Joe finishes or how he gets eliminated, that I don't know," Carbone wrote in a November 9 blog post.
"As for who the 4th person in the Final 4 is, don't know that either."

It's therefore probably safe to assume Brandon had his heart broken at the end of Michelle's journey, most likely at the Final Rose Ceremony of Season 18.
"Her #2 is Brandon Jones," Carbone tweeted at the beginning of October.
Carbone said he previously received pictures of Michelle and her runner-up enjoying a date on September 7, just two days before The Bachelorette's Final Rose Ceremony filmed in Mexico on September 9.
Carbone wrote in his blog on October 6, "Until yesterday, I only had pics of who it was, but couldn't identify who it was."
"Thanks to ABC's preview of Michelle's season [that aired during Bachelor in Paradise's Season 7 finale], I've now been able to lock down who that final 2 guy was -- Brandon Jones," he claimed.
Carbone apparently matched the bachelor's outfit in the preview with what the man had been wearing in the photos someone had sent him.
Michelle and Brandon enjoyed a horseback riding date on Michelle's season as well as a fun day on the water riding jetskis.
Carbone also revealed the alleged winner of Michelle's The Bachelorette season on October 5.
"The main thing you want to know is what happened at the end, right?" Carbone wrote in his blog at the time.
"Well, I got that for you. Had heard rumblings since the season ended but got the confirmation I needed the end of last week."

And Carbone reported that Nayte decided to propose marriage during the show's finale and so the pair got engaged!
So far on The Bachelorette season, Nayte has been consistent in his connection with Michelle and finds little ways to help Michelle let loose and have a good time.
Nayte received approval to date Michelle from two of her best friends in Minnesota, and Michelle pointed out numerous times how she and Nayte had "undeniable" and off-the-charts chemistry.
However, Nayte has been involved in a bit of drama and is trying to keep his eyes on the prize.
According to his ABC bio, Nayte is a 6'8" and originally from Winnipeg, Canada. He attended college at Eastern Washington University and most recently worked for Indeed.com.
Nayte told ABC that his dream woman is outgoing, spontaneous and has enough swagger to keep up with him. He has been looking for a hot connection with a passionate woman as well as a teammate for life.
It sounds like Nayte and Michelle could be a great match considering ABC recently shared, "Michelle has big dreams for the future and says she wants a man by her side that is supportive and driven to make the world a better place."
"She is looking for the Superman to her Superwoman and is ready to find a love with whom she can start a family of her own."
Michelle finished The Bachelor's 25th season starring Matt James, which filmed last year and wrapped on TV in March, in second place and left the show devastated.
Michelle was announced on After the Final Rose in March as one of two The Bachelorette stars -- along with Katie Thurston -- for back-to-back seasons in 2021.
