The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison calls JoJo Fletcher's two-on-one date with Chase McNary and Derek Peth a real "game-changer" this season.

Fletcher having to choose between Peth and McNary in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was probably her most difficult decision so far because Harrison called both guys "frontrunners in JoJo's heart."
"The two-on-date between Derek and Chase was weighing heavily on JoJo's mind. You saw what happened and I don't need to rehash it all, but to say that JoJo was conflicted and to say it was a difficult day is a massive understatement," Harrison wrote in his Yahoo! TV blog.
For their date, the trio learned how to tango, and the routine was choreographed to interpret how Fletcher was torn between two men. She had steamy chemistry with both guys, and on top of that, both men opened up to her on that date and insisted they could envision a future with her.
"Derek was the first guy she went on a date with and Chase was her date the second week. No one has ever been put to a decision this hard this fast," Harrison said of all 12 Bachelorettes in the franchise. "I'm proud of JoJo for taking on that task."

Fletcher ended up eliminating Peth -- despite his complete confidence in moving forward with the Bachelorette -- because she could see more husband potential in McNary, and Harrison is clearly impressed with her approach to the dating process.
"She once again proved that she was taking this seriously and was testing her relationships constantly as she quests to find her husband in the group of fine men," Harrison said.
In addition to McNary, Fletcher still has Jordan Rodgers, Alex Woytkiw, Robby Hayes, James Taylor, and Luke Pell in the running on The Bachelorette.
