S14.E08: Week 8: Hometown Dates


  • Reply
  • Start Topic

Recommended Posts

This season has been a real snoozefest.   I think she went into the Hometowns ready to nix Jason but the whole Colton/Tia thing threw her off her game plan.   She is slow to warm up to Jason compared to the other three which makes sense since he is a late front-runner.  I think they both like each other but know that it isn't going to the proposal.  While I want Wills for Bachelor, I did like Jason's audition tape.  His family seems normal and he actually seems like he wants to get married.  I wouldn't mind him on my screen even with his oil helmet hair.   

Blake gave me the willies this episode and I don't know why.   Something seemed off about him and I felt he was dead behind the eyes.   It bugged me that he stayed rooted under the bridge while she ran up to him in the first part of the date.   Maybe the producers told him to stay put for filming purposes but when I see someone for the first time in a while, I would run to them as well.   He also seems to be really eager to please people but then expects a 100 thank yous in returns and will pout if you don't.  He seems to be exhausting.  Wow - I don't know how much he annoyed me until I started writing.  Sorry!  

Garret... oh Garret....  as soon he told Jose to start the tractor I was like "ahh, now I see why you liked those posts" and then when his dad mocked how he said goodbye to his Granny it was just reinforced.  What toxic masculinity in that house.   When his sister started cry-talking and her voice got that super high dog-whistle pitch, my husband and I started barking at the same time.  He's my lobster.  

Colton is just boring.  I'm tired of the virgin spiel.  I'm glad he's gone and I hope he's not the next bachelor.

If you caught the convo with Blake's father (it was Blake's father, wasn't it?) during the end credits, I must say it was concerning to me that Blake apparently has no practical skills--cooking, cleaning, fixing a car... Becca laughed, but I think she's tucking that bit of news away in her mind. (Although, does Blake travel for a living? If so, that could account for lack of housekeeping and cooking skills, if he's not home a lot, I guess.) 

I agree with Becca that Jason is the best kisser. Sure, I don't have any actual first-hand experience like she does.  But I've been noting the kissing technique of these guys. Just based on appearances alone, if I were going to be kissed by one of them, I'd pick Jason. I think he knows what he's doing. ?  (I also like his looks, greasy hair notwithstanding.)

Because Blake (and Colton) peaked in high school? The producers probably make them draw straws. Over-romanticizing your high school years is apparently a very salt-of-the-earth thing for small town guys to do. I guess perpetually reliving your life at 16 means you're...humble or unpretentious? Who knows. After 22, it's bizarre. That said, Blake is an odd, macabre choice this time around. "And over here is where my mom went down on my coach and ruined my family. And over here is where a deranged rando raped a bunch of my classmates before killing himself. But check it out, I was captain of the football team!" 

Romantically Becca's over Arie, but I love how her attitude this season has evolved from "fuck Arie" to "oh fuck I am Arie." It's interesting to watch her empathize with him and realize it's hard to be genuine with one person when you have a whole group of people psychologically groomed to be infatuated with you and your validation for weeks on end.

So well said

Tia is basically casting herself as co-Bachelorette this season. WTF is her damage?

She must be desperate to get out of Weiner but doesn't have the money to establish herself in LA yet. Gettiing passed over must have really burned, hence she's willing to be the producer's pawn.  Likewise, the producers must be trying to throw her a bone for getting skipped over as the lead.  Did you see that she was the first one shown on the BIP commercial that aired? We are stuck with her and Colton for the rest of the summer. And I have a feeling that somehow she'll show up on the Men Tell All too, and steal extra camera time that could be spent on the dudes.

I agree about Jason kissing.  I noticed it from the early part of the season, before we saw Becca comment on it.  Last night wasn't a great example for him, but previous kissing has been.  It's always interesting to see differences in kissing, from the same female.  My favorite example is on Younger, where there is great chemistry when she kisses Josh, but none at all when she kisses Charles, who the writers seem to be positioning as her OTL...they try to make it look passionate, but it isn't.

Cool new show: Bachelorette Poker

 The bachelorette get "dealt" 5 guys to hang out with.  After a date with each one, she can ask for up to 3 new guys from a pool of about 10 more if she doesn't like the ones she has, but then has to keep those.  Then she must choose her new husband from the 5.  Quick & brutal, all in and no folding.   

I hope you got a patent pending on that idea because it sounds like a pretty good show. Better than this one AND The Proposal put together.

But I also noticed that at least with the first person they ran into, he introduced Becca by name, but didn't introduce the other guy by name.  I wonder if it was someone that Blake knew from that time, but hadn't really stayed in contact with and thus couldn't remember his name.

More likely the guy was forced to be on this piece of dreck and didn't want his name broadcast across the country. This way he is still semi anonymous.

In the back of Becca's mind, she was thinking: "Arie knew how to fix brakes. AND the whole car." Or at least I was thinking that.

Becca's shorty short outfit with Garrett was confusing because I'm sure she knew beforehand that they'd be going on a farming date.  She could have easily scarred herself on that machinery.  She should have just worn jeans or at least a longer pair of shorts.  Plus, there's no way I'd wear an outfit like that to meet someone's family for the first time.  A future(?) mama-in-law does not want to see your ass.

Becca looked really pretty in her rose ceremony dress. Kinda reminded me of Countess LuAnn trying on her cabaret outfits with Dorinda.

I enjoyed the scene with the girls from Arie’s season, mainly because I liked seeing their fashion choices, Sienne’s purple dress was pretty. Also, I like speculating on how they do their eyelashes, ie extensions (Tia) vs falsies (Sienne) vs just mascara (Bekah and Becca).

Poor Colton. His scene with Chris Harrison asking about the Fantasy Suites was so awkward. I hope he goes to BIP and gets a second chance with Tia.

Jason could be the next Bachelor, if he did something different with his hair.

Housekeeping & cooking skills started with my son at about 8.  Doing his own laundry, cleaning (for real!) his room & bathroom, and cooking simple meals.  Full-fledged caretaking and sufficency by the time he graduated high school.  I had very high standards for his future wife, so I refused to send out a young man into the world that couldn't take care of himself.  Helplessness isn't cute or funny in a grown man.  Parents owe their children more.

I think some of the guys Becca sent home at the beginning should be recycled for the new Bachelorette season.  I think she had some quality guys she let get away. 

This!  She did let some good guys go. I think she is shallow and has terrible taste, but I don't really like her much at this point and the handshake move is just gross.

My daughter and I were analyzing them. All got the handshakes. Garrett's and Blake's were the longest. Jason got one but it was fast. Colton got a real runner -- she really threw herself at him (literally). He would be the only one that could handle that much force. She would have knocked the others over -- Jason and Blake for sure. 

Based on handshakes, Jason should have been leaving. 

The whole Tia thing was weird. First of all, if Colton had been that into you, he wouldn't have gone on the Bachelorette. Secondly, if you were that hung up on him after a date or two, you're on the Bachelor timeline of love, not real life. Also, if you're really friends with Becca, you would have kept your mouth shut and let it play out. I thought what she did was a real bitch move. Guess Colton and Tia will be the BiP redemption romance.

Ads for GMA tomorrow with Jared and Ashley -- can we just get rid of those two already? Just yuck, and honestly, Jared is ugly. I'd rather watch paint dry than watch one minute of their epic love story.

Ashley I from Farmer Chris' season. Cries a lot. Went on BiP twice and cried a lot. Fell in love with ugly Jared who totally friend zoned her for 2 years. Cried a lot. Went on the Bachelor Winter Games and found someone else. Jared got mad that his little crying puppy found someone else, so he decided it was twu luv with crying Ashley once she broke up with her winter game guy. They are now all ooey gooey and really revolting. Believe they have a web series or something. They are just blech. Yuck. Don't need to see crying Ashley and Jared who is completely facially hair impaired and has the worst scruff ever. Their epic love story is being foisted on us.

IFarming is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country and it's mainly due to moments of carelessness around that deadly machinery.  So here's Garrett, who would know better if he wasn't the dumbest doofus ever, bouncing around with Becca stretched on top of him and gushing, "If we have kids can you picture letting them ride this?" and Becca's perky, "Yes! Definitely! Woo!"  They both need to marry other people to raise the average IQ up to an acceptable parenting range.

I seriously thought I misheard that exchange. She was just like sure the kids can just hop on the tractor! Cool beaners!! Oy those two don't appear to be overly blessed in the intellect department.

Now Tia decides she's still in love with Colton. I say screw you Tia, tough rocks. Maybe Colton doesn't give a fig about you. Now Becca doesn't want to "lose a friend" over a guy? Tia's no friend, Becca, she's a producer plant. She could have told Colton not to apply for this show, or told Becca to keep her grubs off.

But no, Tia won't even let Becca have a conversation with her girlfriends, she has to interrupt and ruin that too. What a beyotch.

Speaking of the girlfriends, I don't recognize any of them except Tia. Where are the nametags?

I thought that was odd.  They normally identify people at least 16 times, but these ladies not at all?  Hmm...

And Tia?  Sorry, you had your chance.  The decision now to eliminate Colton was not made with any input from him.  What if he no longer had any feelings for Tia?  Really awful move on both ladies' part.

Yeah it's like he's stuck emotionally/developmentally in his scarred HS years with the shooting and the drama with his mom. As for Colton we already know he didn't 'peak' in HS at all. (Sorry)

 

And damned but I've yet to see something so awkward (and awesome) as the convo with Colton about what he'd be required to do re: his Fantasy Suite Clause. It was like old timey movies where the dad would have 'the talk' about what he should do on his wedding night.

Yes, I think he divorced her for not fitting in with his original nuclear family. YUCK! Huge red light there, Becca. Wife probably didn't want to spend half of every week visiting the folks and seeking their approval, and I don't blame her.

This tia Colton drama would make a lot more sense if they went with a story of them hanging out several times , not just once . And if he was interested in you tia , he would have asked you on another date .. not sign up for a dating show to meet someone else . 

Tia definitely does not have a future in acting, that was a grudging performance. I hope whatever they gave her to come on and do this storyline was worth it, because she comes out on the pathetic end of it. Colton says he's falling in love with Becca and Tia asks Becca not to choose him because SHE still has feelings? For someone who isn't even thinking about her?

Did Colton borrow that rose ceremony suit, because yikes.

Lol. I was watching last night and wondering if it's now a "thing" to have your jacket sleeves stop 3/4s of the way down your arms. Given the atrocities that men's fashion has been committing in recent years (skinny pants and man capris, etc), it would not surprise me if this is the new trend. But since the rest of the  guys had full sleeves, it really stood out on him.

She's that wannabe Kardashian who brings a trunk load of makeup to Paradise, the ugly crier who thinks of marriage in terms of a Disney princess meeting her prince.  She is  Jasmine, and the initial attraction to Jared was based on him looking like Aladdin, and wouldn't that make for an awesome.

Is there ddenly more than one state of Colorado?  When Becca went to meet Blake in Bailey, Colorado, it was snowing pretty well, and the mountains were snow-covered. Then when she met Colton, which was also in Colorado, not only was it sunny with no snow on the ground, but they were wearing short sleeves? I

This is entirely possible.  Bailey is in the mountains west of Denver and is almost 2000 feet higher in elevation than Parker, a Denver suburb.  You can be in the mountains in a parka, drive to Denver and put on flip flops.  Our weather and temps vary wildly.  

Personally, I don’t think Tia’s comments made the difference.  Becca seemed smitten with Colton’s looks but not really with the person.  

I don’t fault the guys for the odd choices for HT visits because I truly believe they are chosen by the producers.  I doubt Garrett did much tilling the soil growing up and Blake might not have wanted to visit the scene of a terrible tragedy, much less the scene of mommy’s infidelity.  I don’t think either had a choice.  Jason’s was the best but that’s probably because I love hockey.  Colton’s just seemed odd because he seems off to me in general.

Not only is a romper completely inappropriate attire for meeting a boyfriend's family *or* for riding a tractor, it's also really unflattering.

Rompers are so impractical and they make everyone look short and squat (except on Wills because he's Wills).   Whenever I see girls wearing them at festivals*, I shudder at the bathroom situation since they have to practically strip naked to pee.  Like I wouldn't want to be trying to squat over a hole in a dank, hot, smelly porta-potty with almost all my lady bits hanging out.  What if you fell or didn't lock the door properly and someone yanks it open and hello world, here are your boobs.  I worry about weird things.  Anyways, back to the show, Becca needs to fire her stylist because they hate her.  I'm just surprised that the romper wasn't sequined. 

*I don't actually go to festivals because I'm old but I live by where Lollapalooza is held and Soldier Field so me and Mr. LBS will sit outside with a drink and people snark.

During this episode it really stood out to me how awkward Becca's Bachelor Handshakes are.  It's like they take too much effort for her to easily transition to her handshakes.  There was one (Blake's maybe) where she swung her legs straight up without any bend in them.  Maybe Bachelor Handshakes are like rompers-very few people can actually make them look good...

I think Garrett mentioned his family would only visit once a year for a week.  I don't think it's unreasonable to spend time with your in-laws for 1 week a year provided that Garrett spent time with her family if they came to visit.  I do agree that Garrett's family seemed very domineering.  I really didn't like Garrett's mother in particular.  There is something about her that I don't trust.

If Jason's the Bach (please, yes! I think he's adorable) then they will shampoo and blow dry his hair and make it stand up in a weird poodley quiff like Nick Vile's.

Is there suddenly more than one state of Colorado?  When Becca went to meet Blake in Bailey, Colorado, it was snowing pretty well, and the mountains were snow-covered. Then when she met Colton, which was also in Colorado, not only was it sunny with no snow on the ground, but they were wearing short sleeves? I understand it's a big state, and it may snow in some mountainous regions while not in others, but nowhere in Colorado would I expect it to be short sleeve weather in winter.

Blake's mother: I'm already a hater because of how you screwed over your family, but woman, remove that helmet and put on some hair! You're on TV!

This season is a shitshow, and a boring one at that, so the only things I can care enough about to comment on are Colorado weather and Blake's mom's hair.

They are both baffling. I used to live in Denver, and not only could it be short-sleeve weather in winter (temperatures of 70+ are not terribly unusual), it could be snowing one day and short-sleeve weather the next, or later the same day. Or across town. Colorado has some weather to behold.

And speaking of things to behold, that HAIR. Sometimes I look at the things people are wearing and wonder about that moment when they stood in front of the mirror and said to themselves "yep, this is perfect", but presumably that hair was not a one-day thing and so she must look at it every day and think .... well, I can't imagine what she thinks.

It could be that The Bach hair/makeup team did her hair as an improvement on how she usually looks. Consider that!
