We started the episode not knowing if Nick was going to go on all four hometown dates. Then they showed a preview and we found out he went on all four dates. All the girls are freaking out about who he’s keeping and if anyone’s going home. Nick shows up and sits with the girls and give all four roses in the most relaxed rose ceremony ever. I liked that even though Raven already had a rose he offered another one because it had been a few days. On to meet the fam(s)! Raven’s Hometown Raven rolls up on a four wheeler and looks good doing it! I have never gone four wheeling and this date made me want to, it just looked like fun. Raven has been gaining points with me as the weeks go on and this week was no exception. She takes Nick to climb some grain bins because that’s what they do in Hoxie. As they are climbing the cops roll up, who tries to play a tough cop asking for some identification, but of course Nick does not have any because well he is filming a reality show. Funny joke but that cop is Ravens big brother, no wonder she was all calm and Nick was sweating it. They go back to four wheeling and make out in basically a swamp, it had a dirty Nicholas Sparks vibe to me. On to meet the parents, where her mom announces that her dad received news that he is cancer free! Which was a very sweet moment that Nick and the rest of bachelor nation got to share. They had the parent talks and both Raven’s parents were on board and trust her judgement. In the end Raven got a bit of cold feet or maybe the cat got her tongue, but she did not tell Nick she loved him like she wanted to. Rachel’s Hometown Okay so let’s all watch this and pretend we don’t know she’s the next Bachelorette. Nick has to be clued in to what they are going to be doing on these dates because he showed up to this date in button down and nice pants. So with that being said Rachel takes Nick to church. They both enjoyed themselves and Nick said that he wants church to be something that they can enjoy together. After they had a conversation about the fact that Rachel is black, Nick said that he was not color blind but liked her for the person she is not her color. On to the house, sadly Rachel’s dad could not attend the gathering, I was looking forward to meeting him. The main topic of discussion was interracial couples and how they would handle it vs. how the world handles it. I get that this needed to be discussed but Rachel’s brother in law is also white so this is not something that they are new too. I think how Nick handled all the conversations was perfect. Rachel’s mom went as far as to compare Nick to Rachel’s dad which blew Rachel away and meant a lot to her. Sadly, we do know that she is the next bachelorette, even though I am super excited for it, this date went great and I would have predicted she and Nick would end up together. Corinne’s Hometown Corinne planned a date for Nick based on her favorite activity, shopping! High end shopping to be exact. She buys Nick an outfit to wear to meet her parents and the bills runs up to over $3000 and she did not even blink an eye. Nick was bright red like any normal person would be, and for what they bought Nick could have gotten the items at any number of stores for way less! Corinne tells Nick that she loves him and I just feel like they have such a surface level relationship. On to meet RAQUEL, I mean the family! They sat down to dinner which Raquel served and then joined them for and Corinne told her family how the other girls made fun of her for having a nanny. Making it seem like the other girls called Raquel her nanny but it was Corinne who said that she has a nanny. Corinne’s dad passed around his own olives and they all watched as Nick ate one, it was a test, but in the end he liked the olive. Corinne’s dad asks her what Nick will do for a living and would Corinne be happy if she was the breadwinner and Nick was the stay at home parent, is everyone having a hard time imaging this? Okay good! Nick then talks to the important people in Corinne’s life her dad and Raquel, both approve and tell him to treat her right. Vanessa’s Hometown Vanessa took Nick to meet her students, she teaches special needs to students over 18. Seeing her students get so emotional over her return was so sweet and really shows how much love and work she puts in with the students. I did see that she has a IMBD page and was a bit skeptical but you cannot fake those student’s reactions. She had them make her and Nick a scrap book of their time together, I thought it was a bit odd to have her students look at picture of her kissing Nick in a bikini, but I’m not a teacher sooo. Vanessa’s parents are divorced and she’s really close to both so we are going to meet both, separately. First up moms side, which consisted of about 1595948505 members. Vanessa’s family was the most critical and asked the most questions, a lot that Nick did not have the answers too which concerned her family. The biggest one being where will they would live. On to Dad’s house, which did not go any smoother than her mom’s. When Nick asked for her hand in marriage her dad was not having it, he made a valid point where he said that Nick has asked 3 other families this same question. Vanessa’s dad told her what happened and it SHOCKED her that he asked all three other families, and she said it was a game changer. I guess Vanessa has never watched the past 1000 seasons of this show. No rose ceremony, AGAIN, come on. Then Andi shows up and I’ve always been and Andi fan but how she said hi to him when he opened the door made her seem so bitchy and it annoyed me. My prediction is that she will be giving him advice about choosing wisely, because she obviously did not with her pick, cough cough Josh. She does not want Nick back, she’s just there for ratings and they were in the city she lives so she didn’t have to go far.
