THE RACE IS ON TO THE TOP OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING TO WIN A ROMANTIC EVENING WITH JEN, ON ABC'S "THE BACHELORETTE"

Fabrice Makes a Startling Announcement that Shocks Jen, And a Man Walks Out of the Rose Ceremony

"Episode 304" - A surprise visit from Chris Harrison on a group date in Little Italy sends the men on a foot race to the top of the Empire State Building. Stripped of all their money, the men will have to get creative in order to be the first to the top. That one guy will get to spend the rest of the evening alone with Jen. In another competition, the men write anonymous letters to Jen describing why they feel they would be a good husband. Jen will have to choose the two best letters, and those men win individual dates with her. One lucky guy will get to spend an intimate evening at Frederick P. Rose Hall, the new home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, which includes a special performance by Concord Records' artist Peter Cincotti. Then, Jen and another lucky guy will strap on their firefighter gear for a special tour of Washington Square Park on the back of an FDNY fire truck. Afterwards, they head back to Jen's loft for dinner and a romantic hot tub dip. At the rose ceremony, at which Jen must eliminate two more men, Fabrice makes a stunning announcement, on "The Bachelorette," MONDAY, JANUARY 31 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

The six remaining men are:

Ben, 26, Ski Instructor, who resides in Aspen, CO

Jerry, 29, Art Gallery Director, who resides in Los Angeles, CA
John Paul, 25, Entrepreneur, who resides in Oklahoma City, OK
Ryan Sh., 28, Teacher, who resides in Manhattan Beach, CA
Wendell, 32, Entrepreneur, Chicago, IL
