The Bachelor - Hometown Dates!

Before the breakdown on the hometown dates, I thought I'd share some of the spoiler info I found.

Ashley Hebert: 25, ex boyfriend died right before she came on the show, tattoo on her wrist that says Crazy Beautiful, in dental school.

Chantal O'Brien: 28, daughter of former Seattle Seahawk and owner of big auto chain, works as her dad's assistant, divorced from Jason Vena a lead singer of the musical group Acceptance.

Emily Maynard: 24, 5 year old daughter, Ricki, father of her died in plane crash in 2004, also dated Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Shawntel Newton 24, works as an embalmer and funeral director at their family owned funeral parlor.




Chantal gets the first hometown date in Seattle.  She's a cutie.  Her dog has on clothing.  Really?  Her house......cha-ching!  Can I pick her?  He really bonded with the dad....no uncomfortable moments on this one.  Had to laugh, Brad brought them wine and they went down to this HUGE wine cellar.  Wonder how much his bottle cost?

Ashely next in some town in Maine.  She's a cutie too, but like a little girl.  He's asked a question in French and replies "Si".  Tool.  She then points out his crown when he takes a bite?? They really do have fun together but not in a couple-way.  She's not in love with him either.  She's the only one who hasn't told him.

Shawntel has the next one in Chico.  Right before her date, they air a commercial for her family's funeral business.  Strange.  She starts off the date showing him the funeral home.  He's clearly uncomfortable.  Next they go to her house.  Her family is a little odd and basically told Brad that she was taking over the family business.  He has made it clear that he isn't leaving Austin, so I think they just sealed her fate.

Emily wraps up the hometown dates in Charlotte.  She gets to see her little girl which is sweet.  She is a beautiful woman and I really like her, but it looks like the daughter is a big of a handful.  A 5-6 year old that still sucks her thumb and won't even meet her moms new friend (or let her waist go), probably isn't quite ready to be on camera for this show.  Emily's accent is so cute.  They do a home date and her kid's room is so cute!  She wants a kiss and he won't because her daughter is upstairs.  Wierd.  She finally lays one on him when she walks him out.  He seems like he doesn't know where to put his hand though.

All in all - I think he is most comfortable with Chantal O.  She's my pick.

Rose ceremony........Emily, beautiful in blue.  Ashley didn't fix her hair.  Chantal, gorgeous in red.  Shawntel scary dress.

Shawntel goes home.  She scared him to death.  (pun totally intended).

Next week OVERNIGHTS!  Hopefully they will have some raunchy, steamy moments since the hometown didn't have any of the crazy family members.......
