2/20/17: The Bachelor - ep 8

It's Hometown Week!  We have four suitorettes taking Nick home to Meet the Fockers - Raquelle's Responsibility Corrine, Vanessa the Canuk, Rachel the Lawyer, and That's So Raven.  Lots of ground to cover!

Sweet Home Alabama Arkansas



Raven takes Nick home to Hoxie, AK to climb up a grain silo, get pulled over by the police, and tear up the marsh with four wheelers.  No drama at this family reunion, everyone seemed to like Nick!  Raven couldn't bring herself to say "I Love You" - but she's not the only who held back.  Self-preservation is not a bad thing.  No indication that she won't move on to the next round, so Next!

Inside the Actor's Studio

Made ya do a double-take on that one, huh?!  :)

We went to Dallas, TX next to meet up with Rachel's family.  Seems so silly to watch this hometown because, again, we already know she's the next Bachelorette.  Nick looked super uncomfortable at church, and I think the Lindsay women have a type.  James Lipton here (Rachel's brother-in-law) looks a lot like Nick:

Tell me you don't see it!
They all approve and trust her judgement; ha!  No worries - we'll all have a whole new crop of weirdos to meet next season.

Pretty Woman

Sugar momma!

Corrine decides to spend her alone time with Nick shopping.  It's old home week as she enters each boutique, which would raise red flags on lifestyle expectations in most.  Nick thinks it's rather fun, and sips champagne while Corrine has him play dress-up as a life-size Ken.  For a little mental image: she's downing her bubbly while he tries on $800 sweatpants and a $650 sweatshirt ... not exactly real life for 99% of the population.  They go to her parent's house, eat some olives, swill some Scotch, and chat about how happy they could be after the show wraps.  Her family loves him, including Rocky!!



We FINALLY get to lay eyes on this domestic servant and I'm not entirely convinced she isn't being held against her will....someone do a welfare check, ok?

Tim Horton Hears a Who, eh?



Last but not least is Vanessa.  We head north of the border to visit her students and meet with both sides of her family (mom and dad don't get along post-divorce, so best to keep them separate).  For a girl who claims she's realllly happy with Nick, her and her family and Nick seem to cry a lot:

montage of tears ... 

After some convincing Papa Vanessa gives his blessing, and Vanessa seems confused that Nick would ask every father for permission ... seriously, woman - have you never watched this show?!

Rose Ceremony
Didn't think we'd even get this far in tonight's episode, so bonus point for ABC for at least starting a rose ceremony on a Monday.  The wrench in tonight's cliffhanger: Andi and her chiclet teeth show up to have a tete-a-tete.  Groan.  Ok, we'll all tune in next Monday to see what she has to get off her chest, and hopefully see who gets cut.

'Til then!
