Filming the hometown visit took 10 hours, and the crew had help from the city's Police, Public Works and Parks, Recreation and Facilities departments.

"We were thrilled to share all that our City has to offer!" said Mayor Mary Katherine Greenlaw.

"The Bachelor," now in its 23rd season, revolves around a single bachelor who starts with a pool of romantic interests from whom he is expected to select a wife. During the course of the season, participants travel to romantic and exotic locations for adventures. Candidates are eliminated one by one, and the bachelor proposes marriage to his final selection.

So far, only one proposal on the show has resulted in marriage, although two bachelors married runners-up.

Competition is nothing new for either Underwood or Miller–Keyes. He was a contestant on "The Bachelorette" and cast in "Bachelor in Paradise;" and she began entering beauty pageants when she was 16.

Miller–Keyes won her first pageant and was crowned Miss Virginia Teen USA 2013, and represented Virginia at Miss Teen USA 2013 pageant. She didn't win that one, but went on to compete in the Miss Virginia USA pageant in 2016, where she was the third runner-up, and in 2017, where she was the first runner-up.
