Why do I like hometowns? Well..partly because it is an insight into the gene pool of the last four standing, but mainly because it means that we are one week about from the FOD (the Fantasy Overnight dates)...which include the ritual surprise of the 'card from Chris'.
But alas.it's Hometowns..and there's only room for three on the FOD..so she must let one loose tonight..before they all get loose next week.
Chris
Well..Chris is from Chicago...one very cool city..apparenly also windy. But what a disappointment of a date. Not that I don't like exploring other people's cultures..but I thought he could have taken her to a few more interesting places. A quick google check revealed the Chicago has the most Polish people outside of Warsaw-hence the Polish themed date. The Polish restaurant had kitschy decor.and I think they drank beer..then they went to Chris' parents house. John -Chris' dad..seemed very sweet. The sister was bit tough on Emily..then it was time for a bit to eat. No too much food styling happened b/c the blue corningware dish was prominently featured. Then one more surprise. A polka party, replete with accordians (awesome-and I'm not being sarcastic), Polish party goers, costumes and of course..polka tunes. I think Emily tried to turn the two step into a polka (add one more step)..but wasn't overly successful. Chris told her he loved her. Of course he did. Accordians do set a mood..and make your heart race.
note: I love polkas.
Jef.
Wow..Jef's got a ranch. Well he needs a ranch to house the family. Do you think Jef's family really couldn't tear themselves away from a charity event in South Carolina to meet the bachelorette from North Carolina. Perhaps they don't approve of Jef's reality show appearance.
Well.Annie.I mean Emily get your gun...cause you're gonna shoot clay pigeons.and shoot she did..because she takes shooting lessons at home. Of course. Right. Why wouldn't you?
Emily had a good shot...and so did jef..in his skinny jeans.
And Jef wants Emily to always hold a gun.
I'll leave that comment alone.
But back at the ranch...really back at the ranch..all 17 of his family was there. Was it a dry picnic? Not that they don't have enough alcohol on the show..but was wondering if Jef was Mormon and if they talked about this. I was wracking by brain wondering if Jef drank on the show before...but I never thoght Jef would make it this far...so didn't pay too much attention.
Emily faced this sister panel very well and won them over.
When they were off were a walk...what was with Emily's side shimmy dance..perhaps she still had the music in her from polkapalooza in Chris' backyard.
Jef then read a very sweet love letter to Emily. I enjoyed the fromage thoroughly..I do like to indulge in it from time to time.
Arizona and Arie
Well, Emily quite eloquently says that Arie looks stupid hot. He must get stupid hot in that racing gear in Arizona. They go for a spin around the track..then change in time to meet his parents. Arie warns his parents are European and different. And again...she's probably thinking..hey..i just left little Warsaw in Chicago...what else are you going to throw at me. Emily gets a cool reception then had the family speak in Dutch in front of her. Rude. Arie translates. then Mieke..arie's mom..takes her to the bedroom. I would have been on edge...Mieke doesn't seem overly friendly...but they bond over talking about Arie and racing..and Mieke gives her approval. Arie's father seems very sweet..and is supportive.
Arie walks Emily to her car. Seriously..Arie gets high points for excellent kissing technique. Arie says he definitely wants to marry Emily.
Sean
Sean..looking very boyish in his striped shirt walking his dogs...greets Emily..they walk the very well behaved dogs. I've never noticed this before but both Sean and Emily lick their lips alot. Is it that dry in Dallas.or have I missed this all along.
Sean takes her to his parents home...plays a joke on her that he still lives there. It was funny after i found out he didn't live there. The smashed chips and half eaten cookie looked a little extreme...but I did believe he did live at home..and I was just about to vote him off the Fantasy Overnight Date..but he came back...nice! Phew! Emily handled it very well. Then I vote Seans' dad the sweetest man ever. I just wanted to hug him ...so loving and caring. His mom seemed super sweet too. It is an awesome family. Emily had to say good bye..an dthen Sean had to run after her vehicle for one more kiss. First Prague, then DAllas..what is with the running and yelling her name. A bit much.
Rose Ceremony-hold the cocktail party
Eek..who would it be..but first..why another hideous dress. does the bachelor budget blow all the money on travel and resort and does not allot enough for dresses...leaving gowns with bedazzling to try to leave an impression that this is a fancy dress. Sorry Emily..those are some awful dresses. Stick to the dresses you wear on your dates.
And the rose count down...Arie (of course), Jef (yep)..and Sean!! Later Chris. What rhymes with Chris and starts with a P and it means you're mad...yep Chris was p#@$ed!!!! he was angry. He seemed more angry than hurt. When they sat on the bench outside he said "i told you I loved you"..like that's a guarantee.And in the limo ride off..he said "I'm 10 x the man than any guys in the room"...eek..that's going to be played back for sure at the men tell all.
Guess that means the polka band has one less wedding booking this year.
until the FODs...I love this show!!
