Hometown dates.......this should be good.... 
They started off with a five minute recap of past hometown dates that were the most memorable. I always love trips down memory lane. So Alex tried to rip a two year olds arm out of his socket? That must've gone over well. Nothing like impressing the family by making the little one cry. And Brooke's family had a shrine, or as her father called it, "God's country", dedicated to Alabama football. Wow. Let me tell you something. If I ever meet that future someone special, and that woman's family has a room with Kenny Stabler's jock strap enshrined in a glass case, I think I might be forced to take my own life at that point. And finally, one of the only other clips we saw was of "Funnyman Bob Guiney trying to understand Mary's family members." #35#
Travis informs us he will be heading to meet each girl tonight in their hometowns and is real excited because now he finally gets to see them in their own element and that each girl is completely different from one another. Yeah, we know. You couldn't have found four more opposite women if you tried. Here's what he said about each followed by what he actually meant:
Susan: "She's obviously beautiful....And what I like most about her is that she clearly hasn't let it go to her head." Translation: She's the hottest of the four remaining women and that's why she's still here. #38#
Sarah Canada: "We've had a connection since day one." Translation: She's the young horny one that I know I could get a little more action from before I send her home. ;D
Sarah Tennessee: "Her and I have a great friendship. I'm just waiting to see if a romance develops." Translation: Is this woman asexual? Has she ever seen a grown man naked?
Moana: "There's just something about her that's sexy and mysterious." Translation: In keeping with show's tradition of at least one final four member being the most hated and aloof member of the group, I've decided to keep Moana around. Oh yeah she's very *friendly* personty and in her bikini I can see her tramp stamp. #69#
Travis's first hometown date is in San Clemente, California to visit Moana's family. And of course, Moana's waiting for him at the beach, with surfboard in tow, as he shows up in a long sleeve collared dress shirt and shorts. Nice duds, Travis. Of course, he shows up with no bag on his arm, but somehow has a change of clothes waiting for him as he ended up in a bathing suit when these two went in the water to go surfing.
Travis can't surf. So they spent their time sitting on the surfboards kissing. Moana was definitely excited about this. Moana: "I want Travis now. That wasn't just a kiss, kiss. That was an amazing first kiss." Good job Trav. Nothing like blowing her socks off with a good first kiss. #blowup8ya#
So Travis meets the three headed monster known as Moana's family: Her dad Ray, mom Cheryl, and step mom Virginia. Immediately these three were right in Travis' kitchen. The stepmom started out first with her disgust about how the show is the "undermining of the home and marriage." Ouch. Next up was Papa Ray, or as I'd like to call him, Ray the Prick. Ray: "So what do you believe in? Are you Christian?" Travis: "Actually I grew up Presbyterian. I've learned to be tolerant." The Prick: "I want to hear what that means." Easy Ray. Calm down. I can see now where Moana gets her charm from. The apple certainly doesn't fall far from the tree in this family. Definitely the most skeptical bunch of people we've ever seen.
Moana pulled her father, The Prick aside to talk to him and said, "Well, you proposed to Mom after three months. How did you know she was the one?" The Prick: "I don't have an answer for that one." Moana: "Neither do I." Something tells me this hometown date pretty much ruined her chances of winning. Travis is too much of a family bumpkin to marry into this pack of wolves. #102#
The next date saw Travis head to Winnipeg where Sarah was feeding the ducks waiting for him.
Sarah informs Travis they'll be going to the house where she grew up to meet her mom and two little brothers. They head to the local pub to shoot some pool and to where Sarah can grill Travis on why Moana is still around. Probably not her greatest move yet.
So we get to meet Sarah's mom Julie her two brothers, Steven and David. So Travis is making small talk with the mom saying he had no idea where Winnipeg was and that he had to look at a map. The phone rings at Sarah's house and mom says that's the first time it's rang in a while. It's been pretty quiet since Sarah's been gone. Yep. Our 23 year old student still lives at home with the fams. If at this point you didn't think Sarah was going home at the next ceremony, you weren't paying attention. That pretty much hit Travis over the head with a hammer that Sarah is still living at home.
Even at dinner Sarah killed the mood talking about the girls in the house, even further solidifying her exit from the Chateau. So while Travis is talking to the brothers about God knows what, Sarah and her mom get some alone time. They talked about being true to herself, and fighting for what she wants, blah blah blah. So the next scene showed Travis in the room with her and these two start kissing making out on her bed. #snog4vt#
Sarah: "I believe you create your own destiny. I need to trust what's going on between me and you."
So time for Sarahs' hometown date in Nashville, Tennessee. Come to find out not only are these two from the same city, they live a block away from each other. A block away? Sarah: "We work out at the same gym, we go to the same grocery store, and we go to the same park." I am starting to smell a cover up by ABC....you think it might be possible that since the series is a failure at matching people up, that this could be a setup. Is that possible? I mean, c'mon. We're expected these two live one block from each other, share all those possible common meeting places, and they've never once seen each other? Something about this is still a bit fishy. Just a little too suspicious for my taste. #26#
Travis: "Sarah is just great. We definitely have the same interests. She likes to go biking, hiking, and running. What I need to figure out, is this someone I'd go hiking with or someone to spend the rest of my life with?" So we get to meet Sarahs' dad Addison, her mom Vernita, and two sisters Addy and Lindsey.
So Travis, Sarah, and Travis' dog Nala head to the park to talk. This is where Travis informs Sarah that he'd like to move to the mountains. She made it clear all her family's in Nashville and that she'd like to stay close to family. Sarahs' kindergarten class just showed up with her two sisters. And I think for one of the first times in the shows history, we actually heard one of the peoples last names when Travis called Sarah "Ms. Stone." All this scene did was solidify that he's going to pick Sarah in the end, they'll remain friends, they'll grocery shop together, they'll run the treadmill together, they'll play with his dog in the park together, and ultimately, will never walk down the aisle together.
Since these two are both from the same hometown
Travis got to take Sarah to his house to show her around. The mother, father, and aunt of Sarah come over to Travis' house for dinner. During conversation, Travis told Papa Addison he planned on moving to the mountains in six months. I don't think the family was too keen on having their little daughter move more than 10 feet away from them.
We did get to see Mrs. Stone bring Travis a tape of their daughter performing 13 years ago in some play. Travis: "That's what I love about Sarah. She doesn't take herself too seriously." So the family leaves and Travis and Sarah are alone. In his house. With no parental supervision. And he kissed her! Wow! Yippppeeee! Some actual physical contact with these two! #jump1ia#
And finally, Susan's hometown date somehwere in Kansas. So they meet at a park, she looks hot, he says that "I couldn't envision not giving Susan a rose at the next ceremony".
Susan: "I've got a great analogy for relationships that I was once told. Relationships are like two glasses of water. Both glasses are full. But if one glass isn't full, the other one is pouring themself into the other glass, then both of you aren't full anymore. You always want to meet someone who's a full glass." Uhhhhh...ok. Whatever. #37#
After Susan's brilliant analogy, Susan and Travis decide to throw the football around. Susan admits to throwing like a girl, but does say that, "I can punt a ball."
Later in the episode we find out that Susan had just recently before the show started called off an engagement. So after punting the ball around, they decide to kiss. Susan: "I like it how you do that." Travis: "Do what?" Susan: "How you kiss." Awwwwww....that's two kissing compliments Travis has gotten in one episode. And by the way, Susan has an uncanny ability to always be glancing at the camera right before or right after she kisses Travis. #43#
So we get to meet dad Ken, mom Kathy, and brothers Brian and Matt. This whole conversation with the parents turned into a Susan bashing. Both parents are skeptical of their daughter that she's doing this for the right reasons. Susan's Mom: "I don't think Susan's ready for a relationship." Susan's Dad: "I don't know whether Susan is into this as much as she says she is." Her dad was also questioning whether or not she thought this would help her Hollywood career and if she'd get noticed. WOW....Susan when you don't win this make sure you tell dear ole mom and dad thanks!!
.
I
What really amazed me was how Travis basically found out that Susan called off her engagement when her mother told him, not her. So Susan reinforces to Travis she's real and she's here for the right reasons. So she tells him when they're back at her hotel. Susan: "You know, I was engaged but you should have nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter." Good enough for Travis. I guess that's all he needed to hear since essentially he never wavered one or another when she said it, he leaned over, and stuck his tongue in her throat for good measure. Wow.
As we head back to the Chateau, a sight we haven't seen in a long time. The Pick Me! photos. Travis goes into the deliberation room where video messages from each girl awaits him. These are good. Well, at least one of them is.
Sarah Canada: "I felt fireworks from the moment I met you....it's felt unbelievable....I hope so badly you want to do this with me....
Sarah Tennessee: "You are so much fun...I have so much fun when I'm with you...it was fun meeting my family....you're perfect for me.....
Susan: "I'm totally crazy about you....every time I'm with you the world seems to melt away...I'm really looking forward to falling in love with you....
Moana: (crying hysterically) "I found a piece of myself in you...the only 100% solid thing in my life is my family....for the first time in my life I've ever felt complete....thank you for being who you are.....
Rose ceremony time. But not before Host Chris informs the ladies, "Your relationship took a big step forward this week. You took Travis inside your homes to meet your family."
First to get a rose is Susan....duh
Next is Moana...I guess Travis likes the crying type.
Host Chris: "Ladies Travis., This Is The Final Rose Tonight.....When Your Ready. And I'm getting paid to say this."
Sarah.................from Tennessee:
So Travis pulls Sarah Canada aside to tell her essentially what we all knew from the beginning. Travis: "We're in a different place in life." Translation: Your too young and you still live at home.
Sarah Canada went off crying like they all do. "I'm so confused....I can't believe Travis picked Moana....I feel sorry for him...blah blah blah".
Next week is the overnight dates..... #751389io#
Until next week....
