The Bachelor-London Calling-Final Four Home Dates
I always love the home dates as we get to peek into their private lives and see what their families are like. The first home date was to Shayne's house in LA where the bachelor has to learn how to say her last name, yamas, lama, say it with me Matt, Llamas! Shayne and her father (you know the famous one) Lorenzo, meet at a restaurant where Lorenzo proceeds to tell Matt that the only reason Shayne is on the Bachelor is because she wants to be a movie star. Shayne was so upset at this and proceeds to confess her undying love to Matt. At this Shayne's father says that it was just a ruse to get Shayne to reveal her true feelings. After meeting the father, it's off to see Shayne's mom side. Somewhere in the burbs of LA lives Shayne's mother and sister in the house that Shayne bought. I'm sorry to say that Shayne's mother is a causality of the bad plastic surgery trend that is sweeping LA, which is unfortunate. Shayne's sister is an exact cookie cutter of Shayne. The house is decorated in yesterday's designs gone wrong decor and somewhere out there are a pack of leopards missing their coats.
The next two dates are replicas of each other with Chelsea's parents and Noelle parents exactly alike and lo and behold, they live in the same state, Colorado. No need to recap there.
The final and best date is with Amanda somewhere in Florida, called Niceville, is that near Pleasantville? Amanda has arranged for actors to portray her parents to pull one over on Matt. This whole segment was so hysterical, as the actor mom, wearing a low cut top acts aggressive by caressing Matt's arms and chest as he states that's my nipple. Actor mom then proceeds to hug on him, brushing her ample chest up against him, trying to kiss him like Mrs. Robinson. Actor dad acts all angry and stern, he has the supporting role. Matt tried to act cool, but surely he was flustered. What would someone do in that situation? One word...awkward! When finally Amanda comes out, she tells Matt that he's been punk'd. Whoo hoo, Matt, this one's on you! Very funny stuff and if Amanda is the last one standing, this will make a good story for the grand kids.
In the end, Matt's connection with Noelle is the weakest and he sends Ms. Dimples back home to Loveland, Colorado.-Single D
The first hometown date is LA LA land with Shayne where Matt learns to pronounce Lorenzo Llamas. Yes Matt, you should be able to say your girlfriend's last name! It sounded like dad was belittling Shayne by saying the only reason she went on the Bachelor was to be on TV. Shayne was obviously embarrassed by this and kept insisting that she was falling for Matt. Dad seemed happy with Matt so it's off to see mom.
Arriving at Shayne's mother's house, we see that Shayne's sister is her twin only a few years younger. Her mother has had a few too many botox injections and she could stand to lose a coat or three of mascara. They do seem like a fun happy family, with all of the leopard skin stuff and dressing like flower children, who wouldn't be happy. Just what was in that roast? After dinner, Shayne's mom shows Matt a video of one of Shayne's dance recitals. I just know Matt is going to pick Shayne, especially after seeing that video and how flexible she is!
Off to Durango, Colorado and Chelsea. Her parent's home looks beautiful with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills. This visit was pretty uneventful, ok it was down right boring.
At least Matt got to stay in the same state for the next visit with Noelle in Loveland, CO. Matt & Noelle ride in on horses to see her family who are all lined up on one side of a picnic table like the inquisition. I was surprised the picnic table didn't fall over. After dinner, Noelle's sisters take Matt outside to grill him. Again, yawn! I'm so not seeing Matt with Noelle anyway.
Tallahassee, FL and Amanda await. Amanda hired actors to play her mom & dad as a prank on Matt. Apparently he likes pranks. As fake mom hits on Matt, he just sits there and takes it even when fake mom rubs his nipple and rubs herself against him. It was pretty funny but Amanda puts an end to the prank before Matt could run screaming from the house. He thought the prank was a good one so it all ends well with Matt meeting the real parents.
Noelle gets sent home leaving three to go to Barbados! Double D
