The Bachelor: Likable Sean Hometowns

Family Matters

Every year, the hometown episode turns on a crazy family member or two. While I think its important, every family has their share of crazy and one dinner date isn't a true glimpse into the crazy that can be waiting for you. So...good luck Sean. We'll play word association with the cities.

AshLee's Houston Hometown

When I think Houston, I think of the late 80's/early 90s Oilers and their Warren Moon-led prolific offense. As far as AshLee Top 3's date in Houston, her parents are the big winner. They came away great.

• Bailey is a solid dog name.
• Sean's father and grandfather are pastors.
• So is Bruce, AshLee's dad.
• I became bored and started reading how Ken Pomeroy believes Pitt is the nation's most underrated team…looked omniscient with Monday night's early 19-3 lead...oops.
• Nice 3 car garage.
• Sweet stache and boots on dad Bruce.

Lennay's Seattle Sojourn

When I think Seattle, I think of Dr. Frasier Crane and that adorable little dog. Oh, and flying fish. Apparently, you are not allowed to film anything in Seattle without the obligatory shot of flying salmon at the market. Additional Seattle date thoughts:

• gum wall? So gross.
• Lennay, 2 sisters, mom and grandma…yikes. We might as well call Sean "James Garner" and let this date continue...

• Sisters were tough on Lennay saying she wasn't ready to settle down, messy and moody...THANK YOU FAMILY.

 The General’s Daughter's Missou Milieu

I usually purposely mispronounce "Missouri" as "Misery" because I have no interest in ever going there. Admittedly, that is probably unfair due to my limited interaction with the state outside of numerous trips to Lambert St. Louis International Airport. My notes on the date.

• I've noticed a continuing trend away from wine and towards beer on the Bacherlor/ette. Is this the craft beer industry making inroads?
• General's daughter puts Sean in army outfit and tries her best General Barnaky

•  Lindsey’s mom respects Sean because he wont say “I love you.” Has she ever watched? He is contractually obligated.
• Sean seems genuinely scared of General Yenter.
• The General gives Sean the authority to marry his daughter.
• 31 years in the army. He must have an amazing pension.
• Little brother was mute.  

Say Yes to the Des' LA Anguish

Los Angeles conjures up many images, but I don't want to get in trouble with my co-blogger and Nor Cal man Wags. 

The date begins with a fake boyfriend showing up. I couldn't decide if there was a clearer moment in the series history of jumping the shark. Good luck. It's on her way out, fans.

• Mom and Dad escaped the tent for dinner
• Nate is another brother, but this one talks. Nate is a tough guy but he's no Nasty Nate.

•  Nate killed the hometown and it turned into an awkward discussion about weather.

Rose Ceremony

• AshLee Top 3 gets rose #1. DUH. Thank you, Wagstradomus.
• Gen Daughter gets rose #2.
• And the final rose to...
• Rose down. Walks away. Deep breaths. Camera crew running. Did he forget their names? WHERE IS HARRISON! GET ME HARRISON!!!
• It turns out to be Lennay.
• Leslie and Say Yes to the Des in consecutive weeks? They would have been top 3 if I had to make a guess two weeks ago. Wow.
• Say Yes to the Des is cut. Family Matters. Get it.
