So it was hometown week and it was as awkward as usual. The star of the week had to be Arie's mom Mieke, she was great, with a close second being Jef's brother, Steve, all decked out in denim.
Chris:
Chris started off the hometown date by letting Emily know that on a scale of 1 to Polish we are Polish. He also confesses that last week he was a bleep up.
Who pays for the beer that Chris and Emily had a sip of when they just walked out?
Chris' Mom acknowledges that any mom would be proud to see there son go on a reality show to find true love. I know that I for one would be ecstatic to see my kids find reality love, I think the only thing that could make a parent prouder would be if there kid got into the porn industry.
Chris' dad tells Emily "if you are looking for someone that will love and support you no matter what than Chris is your guy, if you are looking for something else than Chris isn't for you". I was waiting for Emily to reply: actually dad I was looking for someone who won't love and support me.
Chris' dad ended the hometown date by completely screwing his son by telling him that Emily told him that she had fallen in love with him, which clearly didn't happen. This caused Chris to make a fool of himself confessing his love for Emily only to get axed, which was inevitable.
Chris can take solace that no matter how stupid he looked in the limo it wouldn't compare to how Emily looked doing the Polka.
Jef:
The hometown date finally made its way to the beehive state. Emily was so surprised to find out that Utah isn't just an urban jungle and that Jef isn't such a city boy. She did realize it was St. George she was going to, not New York or Los Angeles?
The date started off with one of the most awkward voiceovers in TV history when Jef said my parents are in South Carolina doing (insert possibly another person's voice saying charity work).
Jef shows off his shooting skills and drops the obligatory sexual harassment joke that Emily can hold his gun all day long. BTW I have tried to shoot clay pigeons before and I am not buying that they both were 100%, last time I went I think I hit 2 for 30.
Could there have been a longer pause than when Emily asked Jef's sisters if they thought he was ready to settle down and be a dad?
Loved the sit down with Jef and Steve when Steve essentially told him so you are currently disfellowshipped for your partying ways and now all of the sudden you are ready to settle down, get married and have kids?
I must admit, Jef's letter to Emily gave me goosebumps. After he finished reading that I immediately dropped a ditto on my wife.
Arie:
When Emily first met up with Arie and kissed him the first thing that popped into my mind was the famous Shaq rap to Kobe, "Hey Arie, tell me how Jef tastes". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W4BAnIgB2I
So it was finally confirmed that Arie's father is my favorite racecar driver from when I was a kid, Arie Luyendyk, a formery Indy 500 winner. So we now know that Arie is the most wealthy of the suitors.
The hometown date got extremely awkward when the lovely Mieke started speaking Dutch to her son and they went on a 5 minute conversation entirely in Dutch as Emily awkwardly sat there. Arie proceeded to explain that he usually doesn't like speaking in Dutch in front of people who don't speak it but that Emily need not worry because his mom was saying that she was great. I however was not fooled, I speak a little Dutch and what she actually said was that Emily was a no good slut.
Fast forward to Emily speaking with Mieke and Mieke telling her that usually when you are the one being proposed to you are not also the Bachelorette. Very good point Mieke, but clearly you need to study up on your Bachelor/ette history.
Sean:
Perfect Sean, not surprisingly has a perfect family. Why oh why could the I live it home bit not have been real. I loved Emily's comment, not only is he a mess but he's really into stuffed animals. I so wanted it to be real that I was willing to overlook the perfectly placed half eaten cookies and I bought it hook, line and sinker.
Did anyone else notice that Sean looks way prettier from afar than close up. Maybe, I'm just being nitpicky looking for anything to diminish his perfection.
I do think Sean is kinda lame, but he is probably the best match for Emily and is still the front-runner to obtain true love.
Congrats to Jef, Arie and Sean they get to go to Curacao and more importantly they are going to get some fantasy suite time and according to the previews some serious bikini time. Studies have shown that fantasy suites and bikinis are the best indicator of whether or not a marriage will succeed.
