S28:08: Week 8 Hometowns!

Hometowns is always my favorite episode.

Unlike last week, I am at home in my living room, well again, heat restored and a new phone! My old phone and charger lost their ability to recharge. I thought, OK, I'll call w/my work number using Microsoft Teams. And no one could hear me.

Looking forward to seeing the homes and families. Becker, MN, is mostly known for furniture. I've been by it many times on the way to Grandma's, but never in it.

Maria’s dad got the Godfather cold open. And we’ll probably have to go through 3 other HTs before we see him take his hit on Joey.

We’re 2 minutes in and we already have homages to The Godfather and The Princess and the Frog. I know Daisy will give us a good ol Hallmark movie living on a Christmas tree farm.

I guess Kelsey is nice, but I can't ever remember anything about her except that her mother died. Has she talked about anything else?

Wait, now a commercial with a dead mother? WTF?

Joey actually closes his fingers when he holds Kelsey's hand; unlike the stiff open finger hand hold he does with the others. I would say it's a sign; but he'll probably do that with the other 3 this week too...

Kelsey’s dad is hot. Can he be the next Golden Bachelor if he’s amenable? Did I mishear or did Joey say I can’t wait for a future with Kelsey?

He is always looking at Kelsey’s lips

They are pretty full lips; the better to kiss him with, I guess.

“It seems like there is always something to look forward to with Rachel”; not that there is, but by golly it sure seems like there is…

I don’t care what he said, Rachel’s dad looked extremely disappointed that they didn’t break Joey’s ankles during that dance.

Is Joey asking for a blessing because he knows the answer will be no as an out? He was so diplomatic talking about holding his feelings back to be careful with his words with Kelsey’s family and yet it seems like he’s doing the complete opposite with Rachel’s family.

Did Joey and Rachel have any time NOT around family?

joey is so stinking cute with the kids and he always has the best reactions. I really hope he is the perfect guy that is being portrayed

You were spot on @JenE4, Daisy’s HT brought to us by Hallmark.

And if there’s one thing Hallmark taught us, now the magic of Christmas will make Joey give up his, er, big city tennis career and fall in love with Daisy and buy back her Christmas tree farm so they can spend the rest of their days spreading Christmas joy.

I was curious about the same thing.  I honestly thought he might say goodbye to her on the bench.  She’s a very nice gal but I think he has more connection to the others. 
 

what is her backstory?

Is it just where I live that they just cut to commercial (Joey and Daisy pre-night portion of the day) and it's for DAISY cottage cheese?

They're toying with us, right?

Saw US Highway 10 in the background! I've been by this Christmas tree farm before.

Gorgeous! Is it the perfect place to fall in love with an alpaca?

Did Daisy's friends have to line up for a group tooth whitening before they were allowed to be filmed? I almost needed to get my shades to deal with the Ross-level chompers.

I've been by it, not to it. But I recognized that row of trees alongside the road.

But I'd say it's the perfect place to fall in love!

Well if nothing else, Daisy’s family may have Hallmark knocking on their door to film there.

Did the producers have a talk with Daisy’s family? I don’t think we’ve ever seen parents that are all pushing their kid to “be vulnerable” and tell the lead what her feelings are.

Back to Kelsey, she told her mom she’s falling in love, but she didn’t tell Joey.  Now that Daisy and Rachel have upgraded from “falling for you” to “falling in love with you,” will holding back her feelings be detrimental for Kelsey?

Am I the only one who thought he looked like he was going to throw up when daisy said she was falling in love with him?

3 visits, 3 basically thumbs up from the parents; normal seeming families; 45 minutes to go…they are totally setting Maria’s dad up to look terrible

This is the 1st time I didn’t feel Daisy is his F1. He had his hands all over Kelsey’s ass when they were kissing.

Joey might have her family’s vote but I’m not sure if he has that alpaca’s vote.

Not the kid making that ornament, either!

kid:

Daisy: Do you think he’s naughty or nice?

kid:

joey: I think he said nice.

kid: I didn’t say that!

Maid of the Mist...brings back memories of a family trip when I was about 12! I loved the Canadian side of the Falls even more!

Maria is totally lying about never being on the Maid of the Mist.  How come they didn’t get to wear the hot pink rain jackets?  And when did they change to pink?  They’ve always been blue.

Personally I feel like Daisy is way too young and immature.  She comes off like she is not anywhere near ready for a relationship.

I think they boarded on the US side.  I saw the Stars and Stripes flying on the boat rather than the Maple Leaf.  

And the people in hot pink were also on the US side.

How has someone who lives near NF not have ever been on the Maid of the Mist?

I've lived in a city for 50 years and not done many of the local touristy things. I always assume I'll get around to it, but I dont.

Well, the meeting with Maria’s dad didn’t go according to expectations set in the previews.   Her dad may look ubconventional, but he was pretty good with Joey. 

He loves her, but he is also supportive.
