The Bachelorette Hometown Dates

Pretty much the final four come from well established families. Ashley will have no problem marrying into money with any of these families. No dysfunction among the whole lot of them. If anything, looks like Ashley is the one whose family might be somewhat borderline, what with her sister covered in tats, not that that's a bad thing, but all the bachelor's families are pretty pristine and well established. Among the four of them, Ben, JP, Constantine and Ames, I liked Constantine's family. Welcome to my Big Fat Greek Family! What you no eat no meat? That's ok I make you lamb. (from my Big Fat Greek Wedding). I liked Ben's family lifestyle, Sonoma, wine country, heaven.
It was totally apparent that to Ames's family that there wasn't that strong of a connection between Ames and Ashley and when Ashley eliminated Ames, the look on his face, sheer confusion. He was stunned into a frozen smile, like he had been hit in the head again. He couldn't believe that she didn't call his name out. He looked pleading to Constantine, like what happening. Poor Ames, he's just odd, but in a good way. He's so smart and forward thinking. I loved the story he told Ashley on their date about magiaordinario, finding the magic in ordinary things. He is so sweet, but a little to stunted in social growth. Sorry to see you go Ames, someone will love that incredible brain, those bright white teeth and that wide smile, just not Ashley.
