Momma's Boys-Finale

A mix bag of treats for this last installment of Momma's Boys, which I must secretly admit, I enjoyed. It was drama times three and the score, momma 1, boys 2.

Poor Jojo, since his mother was too selfish to bring along another girl for Jojo, his last and final date was with his mother. Now didn't I say previously that this was a little to Oedipal? The producers really played it up with Jojo and his mother walking on the beach, para sailing, and watching the sunset. Poor Jojo, even he said this was all a little too disturbing. Rob's last date was with Esther's pick, Lauren. They fly to St. Croix which looked totally amazing and have a romantic secluded date in a beach cove. Gads, I want to vacation on St. Croix just so I can go to this cove. Rob tells the camera that maybe his mother was right in her choice for him although he admits to his mother later that the first and last person he thinks of is Camilla. Michael's last date is with Erica, Penthouse Pet of the Year. Their last date is on a private yacht. Now that's my kind of living. I was glued to the set waiting for Erica to spill about her "real" job. When she tells Michael, he looked really pissed and hurt. When she gets back to the hotel she tells Lorraine about her dubious past as well. Mother Lorraine has her practically married to Michael so when Erica told her about Penthouse, Lorraine was like, oh well, I love you and that is not going to change how I feel about you, even though she totally was dismissive about Megan who posed for Playboy, Penthouse's polite cousin. Michael is like to his mother, do you know what kind of spread Penthouse does? I think not!

For the final elimination, first up is Rob with his choice of either Lauren or Camilla. He tells us should he go for the practical or for the passionate. Ah come on Rob, practical is Tupperware, do you want to settle for Tupperware when you can have crystal, or in this case Camilla? In the end, it was Rob who turned out to be a big momma's boy and chose Lauren because of his mother which he instantly regretted. Camilla did have the smug satisfaction that she really was Rob's first choice and you could so totally tell Rob was heartbroken. Esther you oughta be ashamed! I must tell you the first time I met my husband's Jewish family, me being Asian and all, but that's another post.

Next it's Michael's turn to chose between Erica or Amanda. His mother was hoping for Erica, nude photos and all, but I think Michael thought, how can I pick someone every guy in America will rush out to buy the latest Penthouse? In the end, Michael made the wise choice of picking Amanda the pre-med, 3 language student. They make a cute couple.

And lastly, Jojo's turn, to chose between his mother or Mindy. When Jojo was speaking and just about to tell Mindy, that he can't break his mother's heart, Mindy interrupts and tells Jojo that she doesn't think she could be with Jojo even though she really cares for Jojo because his mother is way too difficult to deal with. Really, ya think? Just then Jojo gets his inner strength on and tells his mother to take a hike because he's choosing Mindy. Go Jojo, he finally did find balls!

Conclusion:

Rob leaves the island vacation early and alone without Lauren.

Erica's contract with Penthouse ends and she travels to Florida to visit Lorraine (still hoping maybe that Michael will change his mind).

And....the producers offer Mrs. B counseling which she declined. - Single D
