The Bachelor: Episode 6

I love hometown dates on The Bachelor.  But I think last night included some highlights of the entire series.

Jillian – Darnit, I didn’t want to like Jillian. I  don’t know why.  Maybe because I like Melissa so much but as we all know, hometown visits changes things.  I really, really liked Jillian’s family.  Her dad was hilarious, her mother down-to-earth sweet, her sister just as gorgeous and a her grandmother side-splitting funny.  It really seemed like a great visit.  So that made me like Jillian a lot.  What I’m not sure of is if I can see Jason and Jillian getting married.  I saw that they had a good time and connected deeper than they have but I just don’t see that excitement out of Jason.

Molly – The hats freaked me out.  The sketching freaked me out.  I REALLY wanted to like Molly’s family but I got a little freaked.out.  And knowing you get the family with the girl, I’m not sure Jason felt entirely comfortable with them.  I could be REALLY wrong though.  We never see the whole picture.  Chris Harrison blogged this:

There are a few entertaining things you didn’t get a chance to see on this date. Jason played beer pong with Molly’s family for a couple hours. Also not shown (but you will see it on the Women Tell All special) was Jason losing a bet on the golf course to Molly and having to take his pants off and give them to her. He walked off the course in his boxers!

But from the commentary, I don’t think Jason is feeling it with Molly yet.  I think they’re still way back on 2nd or 3rd date status and haven’t really connected like he wants.  And from the looks of the previews, Jason’s going to address why she hasn’t let her walls down yet.

Naomi That was THE MOST WEIRDEST UNCOMFORATBLEST AWKWARDESS hometown EVER.  The hula hoops, the dove, reincarnation, psychics, I love Jesus.  And darnit, I love Jesus too and it was all just weird!  Thanks for representin’, Hector!  What I can’t believe is that it took so much effort on Jason’s part to send Naomi home…incredibly difficult???  Was he just trying to be nice.  He only had to pick ONE to send home.  It worries me that it was such a tough decision.

Melissa I’ve been rooting for Melissa the whole time but while this went well, Jason was satisified.  I honestly believe she was the front runner (did you see that greeting??) and he needed to meet her family to propose.  And while there are no hula hoops and dead doves, something is going on there.  And it might not be good.  But Chris says:

This is not over yet and they will continue to talk about this and deal with it next week on the exotic dates.

Here’s the thing.  They’ve brought families back on during this stage.  They can do it again.

And finally, I think DeAnna comes back to wreak havoc on the exotic dates.   Which wouldn’t that be the most DRAMATIC THING EVER….Melissa’s parents come on and you KNOW it’s Melissa UNTIL DeAnna shows up and sends  Jason in a tailspin!  LOL  I love this show.
