They say love is blinding, right?!
That is why I love hometown dates so much. All of the girls parents and siblings are able to bring them down from their love bubble, and really bring them back to reality. But of course there are many cons to go along with the hometown dates.
One of the major downfall's is that it is probably very disappointing to hear from your own father that Mr. Ben Higgins himself, is dating three other women, (like Caila had to hear from her father).
Like you weren't already completely aware that he is falling in love with three other people, and you truly have no clue how far along their relationship is compared to yours.
That is probably heart-wrenching to hear from your own family. On the opposite end, as a parent (not that I would know, I am just assuming). I am sure it is difficult for them to sit there and hear what he has to say about how amazing their daughter is, knowing that he is saying that to three other families as well (again what Caila's dad pointed out).
Besides for me not really agreeing with the way JoJo's brother went about getting to know Ben or for the lack of better words "interrogating" him. They did bring up one valid point, they have only been on two dates together, TWO DATES(!!!) and JoJo is already saying she is in love with him. If you think of that realistically, no person would ever be in love with someone after two dates, they would legit be crazy. But hey that is what that show is all about so it is understandable, I guess.
But over all throughout all the drama that went on with JoJo's hometown date they were luckily able to move past that. Of course Caila stayed true to her adorable personality and they built a toy house together as their date. Relatively hometown dates went well, not to many cringe worthy moments.
The first pit stop was right in California to see Amanda! It was so adorable and pulled on my heart strings to see how Ben interacted with Amanda's kids. But I do have to agree with Amanda's mom he will be a great dad one day, but not an, "instant dad." I think for the sake of both of them it wouldn't be fair to get thrown into a relationship right away with two young kiddies. They are still so new to each other and have not learned everything about each other. So their relationships would for sure have been put on the back burner, and they would have taken a few steps back from what they already have. (*Spoiler*) I do think it was kind of expected that Amanda was not going to get the rose.
Side note I just need to say that JoJo's mom is my spirit animal, chugging champagne right from the bottle, you go girl.
Just so you don't always have my views about how the night goes, here is some thoughts from a hopeless romantic that knows a lot about the Bachelor, and Bachelor in Paradise. Former contestant Ashley I, does a weekly recap of her thoughts and views, since she has gone through it all, one to many times. I chose to use her Cosmopolitan.com review because I think we have a lot of the same views, especially about the very dramatic entrance of JoJo's ex-boyfriend. (Ashely I's recap.)
Next week I can not wait, final three in Jamaica! Best of all it is fantasy suite time, where they get to "jump each other's bones" if they both want to or course, (Ben's words from about five episodes ago by the way, but I totally dig how he says that). But of course who would not want too?! After all he is currently the most eligible bachelor. But I guess we will have to see how it all goes down, and see how all their emotions run even higher then ever.
Cheers to Bachelor Monday's
