S24.E08: Week 8 - Hometown Dates

[OnceSane]

Quote

Peter joins the four remaining bachelorettes in their hometowns, only to have their families question his intentions; a surprise threatens a relationship.

Airs February 17, 2020.

It's more important to have that cross around your neck very prominently displayed, Hannah Ann.  God is pleased.  But he's still questioning your legs wrapped around Petey's pelvis.

I do really enjoy ax throwing, I went to an ax throwing place not long ago and it was a blast! But your not supposed to stand around and make out right by the bullseye! 

[JenE4]

What the hell? They just left their open umbrellas in the middle of the sidewalk.

[leighdear]

I hate the neanderthal "my daddy wants me to have a manly man" attitude.  Right, because axe throwing is going to pay that mortgage and put gas in that macho Hummer he drives. 

Hannah Brown is more macho than Petey.

[rebel2u]

Peter:  "One of these four women will be my wife!  Let's see, eeny, meeny,miny, moe".

 

[tennisgurl]

Hannah’s dad is so not into this. 

[leighdear]

hmmmm....how about eenie, weepy, creepy and bitchy.....

[JenE4]

I liked Hannah’s dad’s biiiiig inhale after “she brought Peter with her.”

[leighdear]

Jeez, I hate the misogynist tones they drag out with the father giving away his daughter.  Does Hannah Ann still live at home?  Will her daddy have to make sure the training wheels are off her bike before she can ride off into the sunset with Petey?

[nutty1]

I like Hannah’s dad. I love when they are not drinking the koolaide. 

[alexa]

Why would Peter tell the dad he is going to tell her he is in love with her?  He already said it to another person so it means nothing, and I am sure he can guess that.

Will they never learn?  Let’s tell multiple girls the same thing.  

[tennisgurl]

Even with the sort of patriarchal “daddy needs to approve” vibes, Hannah’s dad isn’t wrong to be concerned, considering Pete does have a bunch of other girls he’s dating and is gonna be doing the same stuff with them.  I mean, Hannah is clearly cool with the whole process, so you do you Hannah, but I get dad thinking this whole thing is bizarre. Dad is gonna pissed when Pete inevitably tells every single girl he loves them.

[leighdear]

Most awkward kisses EVER.  

[Riplet68]

He didnt answer Hannahs dads question about where peter is with the other wonen. Got to give it up for dad, so glad he made it clear hes not here for the BS.

uh oh, hes told 2 women.  Never a good thing.  Hannah sounded articulate!  No “likes!”

[JenE4]

Yeah, crazy to tell dad before he told HER. But I guess this is like X steps behind asking for his daughter’s hand in marriage. But Peter is in love with all of them!

[alexa]

And now all he wants is someone to want him essentially.  Lol.  Goals.

[leighdear]

I agree every parent has to be skeptical, but they could have ordered both mom & dad straight out of central casting as "Concerned, middle class white couple".  Have any of them ever watched these shows?  They all say the exact same lines, with the same expressions and same reactions.  Completely interchangeable.  

That squishing has got to be uncomfortable.  Doesn't look remotely sexy or amusing.

[tennisgurl]

At least they’re getting to do fun dates now, the first few weeks were filled with the weirdest freaking dates. And now I can drink along with the people on screen, and allow all this to seem less ridiculous! Let’s do a cheers! 

[nlkm9]

Try as i May, i don’t get the Kelsey thing, how he even likes her or anything . To me she seems totally bitchy and crazy. She is not going to take this break up well at all, this is a chick who would sob over a broken nail. Ugh. Lol. I loved hannah Anne’s dad, he could barely crack a smile and i liked what he told Peter .

I think they should have every hometown be with Jojo’s mother.  She was the best especially if you throw in JoJo’s brothers.  Peter Rabbit wouldn’t know what to do.

[leighdear]

She's sticking to the script.  

Their children would have gigantic teeth. 

[SallyAlbright]

I love that Hannah Ann's dad acted like she came home and just happened to also bring Peter. He so did not care to meet him and clearly thought he was an immature child. I love it. 

[tennisgurl]

“Sometimes it’s better when there aren’t a lot of people around...except for that massive camera and production crew surround us, they’re always invited!”

Yep, JoJo's mom was off the hook!  Loved that lady!

[Riplet68]

His not telling Kelsey he loves her was a huge elephant.

[JenE4]

Didn’t Kelsey and a Peter already tell each other they were falling in love when she went crying to his room? I could have sworn he said it, too, now Kelsey is “demoted” to a that’s nice to hear, while Hannah gets the love.

[leighdear]

That quilted nylon jacket Petey is wearing would be a deal breaker.  SO ugly and unflattering!

Omigawd, they all 4 have the exact same bleached, dried out hair.

Was jojos mom the one who drank out of the bottle ? Lol i loved her! Does anyone remember Merediths season when she did a hometown with lanny? Omg the mother was so scary 😂😂

[JenE4]

“Crab rangoon!!!” needs to become Bachelor lexicon for something earth-shatteringly exciting.

[leighdear]

Is Kelsey setting the record for the MOST crying by any contestant, when there's actually nothing to cry about?  

[tennisgurl]

Kelsey could be a sponsor for a waterproof mascara company. 

[FlyingEgret]

Well, we now know Kelsey gets her crying voice from her mom...

[leighdear]

Ok, mom just used the phrase "All In".  She's definitely watched the show before. 

Obviously, she thinks Petey is Crab Rangoon!

[nutty1]

Please don’t ever let Kelsey be the Bachelorette. I think I’d rather Hannah Brown again!

Ok why did Peter tell her his heart has fallen!! He is such a jerk!! Why lead someone on like that ? I don’t like her but wow he’s a jerk!!

Omg she is a train wreck i would have to stop after watching every single season.

[tennisgurl]

As we all know, being a virgin in Bachelorland is basically like being a Martian for how people respond to it, so this is gonna get real interesting...

[EllenB]

What the hell was with Hannah Anna Banana getting so excited because I WROTE HIM A LETTER AND HE WROTE ONE TO MEEE!!!!  Sounds like a sixth-grader.

Kelsey, constant crying in a relationship means IT'S A SHITBALL RELATIONSHIP.  Your mother's as stupid as you are for agreeing.

[tennisgurl]

Damn son when Charles Barkley is giving you the shovel talk...

[leighdear]

What crap.  Coaching skills FIRST, character is secondary.  This is college hoops, people!

Right?!? Who gets hired as a basketball coach because they’re a good father?!

Bachelor handshake FOUL!!

[leighdear]

I actually like Madison.  Didn't like ANY of the other virgins, but I like her for some strange reason.  She just seems pretty calm & composed.

And it did not define her this season. 

[Riplet68]

So, how did Madison manage to avoid Peters requisite breakdown and tearful “I’m falling for you.”  Has a lead ever dropped the l bomb before a contestant before?

[leighdear]

And than you god for condoms and lots of sweet tea. 

[tennisgurl]

I like Madison, she seems like a pretty nice normal person, which makes me wonder if they are saving her for Bachelorette instead of getting with Peter. 

[SallyAlbright]

I really like Madison and I like that she is so much better at basketball than Peter. She's cool and relaxed and I think she's probably too good for him. 

[nutty1]

“And Dear Lord, bless Peter for bonking Hannah 4 times in the windmill. “

As athletic and pretty as she is i think she would be a great bachelorette and someone guys would fight for . She does make Hannah Ann look like a child .  

[nutty1]

Maddie’s dad needs a new barber. 👨🏻‍🦰
