After seeing the final four dates, my pick to win this whole thing is Jillian. Ok, she did start out kinda of quirky with that what do you put on your hot dog thing, but she has turned out to be my favorite of the final four. I love the place she is from Alberta, Canada. It looks simply stunning there and the view from her parents home is to die for. Jillian tells Jason that her mother had suffered depression for 15 years, which is most of Jillian's adult life which says a lot about Jillian's strength. I was looking for chinks in her mother's amour, but only saw a faint twitching about the eyes.
Molly's parents live in Grand Rapids MI. When they first meet, Molly saunters up casually to Jason, unlike the running into Jason's arms that Jillian did. Molly seems very reserved and conservative. Ok more like frigid, iceberg, raise the Titanic. Hey what's up with Molly's last boyfriend that her parents absolutely hated? What was he a serial killer or something? And why does Molly call her mother MaryAnn instead of mom? I do have to give snaps for the mother, she had a craft's basement that Martha Stewart would be jealous of. When MaryAnn took Jason to the basement and asked him to draw a picture of Molly, I found it very telling that he drew a picture of Molly surrounded by hearts and a single rose. Humm, I wonder if it means anything? And I loved the thing with the hats at the parents house, it served nicely to break the ice. Molly's dad was totally funny when he said to Molly that if she's the one rejected not to do the crying in the limo thing. He must really watch the show!
Out of the three sets of parents the oddest ones by far were Naomi's divorced parents living in Lake Elsinore, CA. With her holier than thou father and wannabe spiritualist mother one word for Jason, run! Hector looks like he could have been one of the hommies when he was a teen but as an adult has found religion, Amen! I'm thinking Mom's belief in reincarnation probably doesn't jive with Dad's Christian religion, Amen! When Hector started talking religion, Jason had that frozen look on his face. You know the one he gets when he's put on the spot and doesn't quite know what to say, he had that same look when Mom started talking about how she's an indigo, some kind of religious channeler or something. Nothing says welcome to the family like religious zealots, Amen!
The last date was to Dallas, TX to meet Melissa's parents or so he thought, except Melissa said it wasn't to be since her parents weren't jiving with the "publicness" of it all. So they left poor Melissa to fend for herself and her and Jason had dinner at her friends house. It seemed rather awkward the whole thing but that didn't seem to faze him in the end, when he sent Naomi packing which I knew he would.
Final two, Jillian and Molly as Naomi is given her walking papers. Well at least the rose ceremony was at the Olympic Fairmont Hotel which is absolutely gorgeous. This I know because I stayed at the W Hotel right down the street from the Fairmont. I don't recommend the W. It was an awful experience. The "boutiquish" hotel was trying really hard to be something it's not. The entire hotel is lit in a bluish ambient light, the people who work there are really snobbish and not very friendly. They are trying to create an ambiance like it's some kind of five star hotel, but mostly the ambient light only serves to dim the whole experience of staying in Seattle. If you have a chance at a vacation there, stay at the Fairmont, my guess is that you will be treated a lot better than the W Hotel. My guess is that the W caters to (gay) single execs men, nothing wrong with that, but maybe it should say that in it's advertising?
Well, it's goodbye Naomi, now back to flying with ya-Single D
