Who will get the final rose?


Hometown Dates!!!!

Hometown Date #1 – Ashlee:  Houston, Texas
Ashlee greeted Sean with her dog Bailey.  Sean told the camera that he wants Ashlee’s parents to know that he is serious about her.  After the doggie introduction they had a glass of wine in a prairie.  She told Sean how similar he is to her father.  Like Sean’s father, Ashlee’s father is a Reverend.   Ashlee told the camera that she is “madly, and deeply in love with Sean.”  - Let’s hope things go well when he meets the Fam! 

Ashlee’s parents meet Sean outside the house with a very warm welcome!  They sat outside and chatted over a country lunch.  Ashlee described the Polar Bear plunge to her folks as a baptismal type experience.  From there she told them that they have romance, and that she is in love with him.  You could see her folks cringing as she continued to speak.  TMI!

Sean and Mom got some alone time together.  Mom asked him what his intentions with her are.  Her mom drilled into Sean that Ashlee has abandonment issues and that he better not break her heart.  Sean survived the conversation with Mom and moved onto Dad.  Sean told him that he is crazy about her and see’s love on the horizon.  Sean asked her dad about the high school wedding, and questioned him as to why he approved of the wedding.  Dad admitted that he would have done it differently it he could do it all over again.  Then Sean went in for the kill and asked if it would be ok to ask Ashlee to marry him.  He got approval!

Hometown Date #2 – Catherine:  Seattle, Washington
Sean met Catherine downtown on a sunny day in Seattle!  They hung out at Pike Place Market – fish throwing, shopping, taking pictures in a photo booth, dancing, the gum wall, and eating doughnuts.  Over lunch Catherine warned Sean about her family and the feisty women in her family. 

Catherine’s family gave Sean a very warm welcome.  Sean made traditional food with her mom.  Catherine pulled her sisters aside to get the scoop on Sean.  She told them that she is realistic about how things are going and would “try it out” if he proposed to her.  Her sisters told her that they felt like she is trying to convince them that she likes him.  She continued to defend him and her relationship with him.

After the sisters grilled Catherine they decided to give Sean a hard time.  The sisters didn’t instill much confidence in Sean.  They told him about all of her bad habits, mood swings, and how quickly she falls for guys.  After the sisters, Sean spent some time with her mom.  She was realistic about the situation and told him that he shouldn’t lead her on if he isn’t interested in her.  He tried to ask her mom for approval to marry her and his mom pretty much dismissed the question.  Sean ended the date telling the camera the he isn’t sure how to move forward with her and isn’t sure where they go from here.  Not good!

Hometown Date #3 – Lindsay:  Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri
Lindsay took Sean for a walk through the town.  Sean told the camera that she gives him butterflies and brings out the kid in him.  They hung out at an antique store, stopped for a beer at the local bar, and had a cupcake at the cupcake shop.  Sean asked Lindsay what he should call her dad, General?  Sean told her that he is intimidated to meet her father and tell him how he feels about her.  For their final adventure, Lindsay dressed Sean up in army gear and took him through a mini boot camp.  He passed, so she took him to meet her family.

Sean kept telling the camera how nervous he was to meet a Two-Star General.  The family gave him a very nice greeting.  Her folks didn’t know that she got out of the limo in a wedding dress so she broke the news to them.  Her dad didn’t look impressed.

Lindsay’s mom pulled Sean aside.  He told her that he is crazy about Lindsay and that she is so special.  Her mom asked if he is falling in love with her.  He said that he is not in the position to say that right now, he will say that when he proposes to someone because they are sacred words.  Mom was happy with his honest answer.  Sean asked mom if she had any advice for him when talking to her husband.  She told him to be himself.

Sean met up with the dad.  Her dad told Sean that he is worried about his daughter getting hurt.  Sean tried asking her father for permission to marry his daughter if it came to that point.  Her dad said that he has never been asked a tougher question in his life.  After a parachute analogy he finally gave Sean his blessing. 

At the end of the visit her dad gave Sean dog tags to remember her family.  As they were saying goodbye, Ashley told Sean that she is falling in love with him.  It was just what he wanted to hear! 

Hometown Date #4 – Desiree:  Los Angeles, California
Desiree met up with Sean and took him for an L.A. style hike.  After the “hike” she took him to her house.  They prepared dinner for her family.  As they were waiting for her folks to arrive, they heard a knock at the door, Desiree opened the door and it was a guy.  He greeted her by telling her that he loves her and asked her where she has been.  She said, “I’ve been busy” and pointed to Sean.  They scene continued and Desiree finally looked at Sean and said, now that he’s here I do have to tell you something…”Gotcha!”  Desiree wanted to get him back for pranking her on their first date!

After the joke, her mom, dad, and brother stopped by.  Her mom pulled Desiree aside to chat.  Her mom told her she likes Sean and gave her approval.  Sean bonded with her dad.  Everything was going well until Desiree had a few minutes with her brother.  Her brother asked her about her relationship in comparison to the other girls.  He seemed very skeptical about the situation.  He told her that he thinks that it is “stupid”.  He said that if it were to happen that he would be thinking that there is no way that it could work out. 

After he was a jerk to his sister, he pulled Sean aside to tell him what he thinks.  He started off by saying that he can see that his sister is into Sean but that Sean isn’t into her.  Sean looked completely shocked and told him that he is crazy about his sister.  Her brother said, “So you don’t know which one you are going to chose yet”.  Sean said “no”.  The brother continued to insult Sean by calling him a Playboy.  Sean was visibly pissed off by the comments that her brother made.  The conversation ended awkwardly and they went back in to finish dinner. 

When the boys came back, everyone could tell that the brother shared how he felt with Sean.  The dinner conversation went from awkward to even more awkward.  They ended the date without even finishing dinner.  Desiree walked Sean out apologizing for her brother.  They exchanged an awkward kiss goodbye and Desiree went back in to finish dinner with her jerk brother. 

Conversation with Chris Harrison:
Sean told Chris that he was hoping for clarity and he didn’t get it.  He admitted that he doesn’t know who he is sending home – Catherine or Desiree?  Sean told Chris that he thinks that Desiree’s brother will always get under his skin…can he deal with that?  Catherine doesn’t seem ready to settle down and he feels like he might get in the way with her career.

Rose Ceremony:
Sean admitted to the girls that he still didn’t know who he was sending home and that he realizes that tomorrow he could regret his decision.  Desiree asked Sean if she could have a few minutes alone with him.  She pulled him aside to apologize for her brother.  – Did it work?

Rose #1 – Ashlee
Rose #2 – Lindsay

Sean picked up the final Rose, hesitated and then set it down.  He walked into the photo room to find clarity.

Rose #3 – Catherine

WOW!  That was a shocker! 

Sean walked Desiree out and told her that he might wake up tomorrow and realize that he made a terrible mistake.  She told him that she really does think that he is making a huge mistake.  He told her that he is trusting that the decision he made is the best for both of them.  She told him that she thinks 100% that it was a HUGE mistake.  He didn’t say anything and walked her to the limo.  They gave each other a final hug and he admitted that it might be a mistake.  He told her that he is going to miss her a lot and sent her off in the limo. 

Could this be another Jason Mesnick season?
