‘Bachelorette’ recap: The men compete for the Mr. America title, Des gives up date for Sandy victims w

This week, “Bachelorette” Desiree Hartsock took the remaining 13 men to Atlantic City, N.J., for the week, and in a standout, touching moment, gave up one of her dates to a couple whose home was completely destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.
Des took James Case on a helicopter ride with a representative from the Red Cross down the New Jersey coast to witness the devastation from the superstorm.
The helicopter dropped them off in Seaside Heights so they could explore on foot. There, Des and James met up with Manny and Jan, who recounted their terrifying experience during Sandy and allowed the two to tour their damaged home.
Des and James’ date was slated to continue with a limo ride back to Atlantic City, where they would have a luxurious dinner and private concert by Darius Rucker. Instead, they decided to give it to Manny and Jan, after discovering the couple spent their 38th wedding anniversary last November in a Red Cross shelter.
Manny, who had never even been in a limo before, was overcome with emotion, choking back tears when Des and James filled them in on what their night was going to entail.
