'The Bachelorette' recap: Michelle narrows down to final 8 men in Minneapolis

"The Bachelorette" headed to Michelle Young's hometown of Minneapolis on Tuesday, but even a change in venue couldn't stop Chris S. from trying to chip away at Nayte's frontrunner status.

After pulling Michelle aside at last week's rose ceremony to accuse Nayte of being too cocky and not being there for her, Chris S. thought he had taken some of the wind out of Nayte's sails while upping his own status with Michelle.

Instead, Nayte scored a one-on-one date with Michelle, while Chris S. was left competing with nine other men for Michelle's time -- which he failed to get.

Desperate, Chris S. brazenly crashed her date with Nayte to voice disappointment that the warnings about his fellow suitor "had fallen on deaf ears." He said he felt like he'd been "played" and called Michelle "fake."

After pointing out his "bad attitude" during the group date, she explained to Chris S. that she wanted "a man who will stand and support me when I speak, and not a man who speaks for me." Nayte got the date rose, while Chris S. was shown the door.

Another one-on-one date with "Minnesota" Joe led to his revelation that a career-ending sports injury led to severe anxiety, depression and, ultimately, thoughts of suicide. Michelle praised him for battling through it and offered him the date rose.

Also sent home on Tuesday in addition to Chris S. were Casey and Leroy.

Here are the other men remaining after the rose ceremony:

Brandon J., 26, a traveling nurse recruiter from Portland, Oregon
Clayton, 28, a medical sales rep from Columbia, Missouri
Joe, 28, a real estate developer from Minneapolis, Minnesota
Martin, 29, a personal trainer from Miami, Florida
Nayte, 27, a sales executive from Austin, Texas
Olu, 27, an IT analyst from Newark, New Jersey
Rick, 32, a medical sales rep from Los Angeles, California
Rodney, 29, a sales rep from Rancho Cucamonga, California

"The Bachelorette" continues Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
