Luke Pell is a man whom The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher can't stop gushing about.

During Monday night's episode of The Bachelorette, it became clear the house majority viewed Jordan Rodgers as the frontrunner for Fletcher's heart, however, Robby Hayes argued he was absolutely the frontrunner whom no one seemed to acknowledge or be threatened by.

But flying under the radar this whole time was Pell, the handsome Texas country boy who knew how to sweep Fletcher off her feet without any effort.

Fletcher's time in Argentina came to a close with a one-on-one date in which she rode horses with Pell, shot guns and talked about what it would mean to meet the singer and war veteran's family.

"Getting to sit down and talk to Luke about his life and family really started to help me picture what my life with him would be like -- and that excited me" Fletcher wrote in her People blog. "It was so meaningful to hear him tell me that despite the chaos around us, our connection felt more real to him than anything else."

Pell has stayed out of the drama all season long and captured Fletcher's attention and interest with his quiet confidence. This week, Fletcher pointed out how Pell is so much more than just good looking, saying he's intelligent and deep.

"Luke has a way of easing my fears," Fletcher noted, "and at this point I began to realize that he was a calming force for me."

Fletcher's feelings for Pell have only intensified with every minute they've gotten to spend together.

"I knew Luke was someone I felt strongly about," Fletcher said.

Fletcher's date with Pell seemed to solidify her elimination decision, that James Taylor needed to go because they were missing that spark she needed in a romance.

"I really just wanted to get to the Rose Ceremony because after that day there were no more questions for me. I didn't need a dinner to know that I was headed back to Texas to meet Luke's family," Fletcher noted with certainty.

Fletcher therefore canceled the cocktail party and immediately handed out roses.

"I realized at this point that having a cocktail party would only make my decisions harder, and at the end of the day wouldn't change the feelings I was already having. I had spent time with all of these guys this week, and by the end I knew what I had to do."

Fletcher's choices on Monday night's episode left Pell, Rodgers, Hayes and Chase McNary in the running for her heart.
