Juan Pablo Meets the Parents

Hometown Date #1 Nikki – Kansas City

They met up at a park and both said they were so excited they couldn’t sleep the night before.  The date started with Nikki testing out Juan Pablo’s ability to be a country boy.  She took Juan Pablo to the most famous BBQ place in Kansas City.  He fell in love with the BBQ ribs.  Next stop, Nikki took him to a bar to ride a bull.  He did a pretty good job riding the bull – Must be those abs!  Nikki almost told him that she loves him, but just couldn’t do it at the bull riding bar. 

Third stop was to meet the parents over dinner.  The night started off with dinner, and Nikki’s mom pulled her aside to talk to her.  Nikki told her that she is in love with him but hasn’t told him yet because she hasn’t had the right moment.  She told her mom that she can see herself engaged to Juan Pablo.  Mom approved!

Juan Pablo sat down with Nikki’s father to talk.  Her dad said that he trusts his daughter and will accept whatever decision she makes.  Dad approved and appreciated Juan Pablo being honest with him.

Nikki and dad sat down for a talk.  Nikki told her dad that there is something about Juan Pablo that is awesome and magical.  She told him that she could take on the role of step-mom.  Her dad told her that he approves.

As Nikki was saying goodbye to Juan Pablo she tried to tell him that she loves him, but couldn’t get the words out.  Nikki told the camera that it didn’t feel right to tell him that she loves him and she doesn’t know why it didn’t feel right.

Hometown Date #2 Andi – Atlanta

The two of them met in a park and embraced each other immediately.  Before meeting the family, Andi took him to a shooting range.  He was so excited!  Andi started and shot her 9mm right in the bulls-eye.  Juan Pablo was impressed.  Andi told him that he needed to get a bulls-eye in order to meet her family.  Juan Pablo shot at least 15 times before hitting the bulls-eye. 

Andi took Juan Pablo home to meet the family.  Andi told the camera that she is at a point where she is waiting to fall in love and that meeting her family could be the tipping point.  They started off talking to the family about all of their dates.  Her dad was not impressed with their story and how long it took for her to get a one on one date.  Over dinner, dad didn’t seem impressed at all and actually said that he is worried.  Andi’s sister tried to break the ice and had them tell their story of meeting each other.  Apparently they met and 6 months later got engaged and 6 month after that got married. 

Mom pulled Juan Pablo aside.  They got on the subject of dancing and mom asked to see them dance.  Andi showed off her lack of dancing skills.  Mom danced a little with Juan Pablo as well.

Dad pulled Juan Pablo aside for a few questions.  “What in the world made him go on the show?”  Her dad did not seem impressed.  Juan Pablo asked him if he would accepted him and his daughter into his family if he were to propose to Andi.  Dad told him that the person who asks his daughter to marry him will tell him that his daughter is the one and only person in the world and not that he "may" ask her to marry him. 

Andi talked to her sister about Juan Pablo and asked if she see’s her ending up with him.  Her sister must have said “I don’t know” at least five times.  Andi was upset hearing that. 

Andi and her dad sat down to talk.  She asked him if he had any concerns.  Dad said that he doesn’t want her to get hurt.  Andi admitted that she doesn’t know what will happen and she could see herself falling in love with him.  She told him that she is willing to get her heart broken to see if Juan Pablo is the right guy.

Andi asked to talk to Juan Pablo for a bit before he left.  The camera flashed back to the family and her dad told the story about Juan Pablo asking for permission to marry Andi.  The whole family agreed with how dad responded to Juan Pablo.  Back to Andi and Juan Pablo.  Andi told the camera that she is very, very close to being in love with him after spending the day with him.

Hometown Date #3 Renee – Sarasota, FL

Renee and Juan Pablo met up at the beach and then went to her son’s little league game to meet with him.  The three of them had a nice moment getting to know each other.  Renee and Juan Pablo watched the little league game. 

After the game they all drove to Renee’s family’s house.  Renee told the camera that her parents have been right about all of the guys she dates.  She said that if her parents see any red flags that it will be over with Juan Pablo. 

While Renee put her son to bed, Juan Pablo talked to her brother.  After talking to the brother he talked to her mom.  They didn’t show the conversation.  What they did show was Renee and her mom talking.  Renee told her mom that Juan Pablo is amazing.  Her mom told her that she wants her to be “in love” with him.  Her mom was happy to hear how she felt about him.  Mom approved. 

Renee talked to her dad and her dad immediately told her that he approves.  He said he saw her glowing as soon as she walked in the door.  The night wrapped up and Renee walked Juan Pablo out to the car.  Renee told the camera that she wanted to tell him that she loves him before he left but it didn’t flow and it didn’t come out.  She said that after he got in the car she wanted to tell him and she regretted not telling him. 

Hometown Date #4 Clare – Sacramento

They met at the rose garden park.  They talked about what to expect with her family.  She talked about her dad and shared with him some of the final things her dad shared with her before passing. 

They met up with her mom and sisters for dinner.  Clare is the youngest of 6 daughters.  They started off talking about their journey and then moved onto dinner.  One of her sisters pulled her aside to talk to her.  Her sister asked, “What would you do if he asked you to marry him?”  Clare said that she would say ‘yes’ in a heartbeat.  Juan Pablo met with a couple sisters.  One sister asked him if he was ready to propose to her.  He told her that is why she is still a contender.  Her sister told the camera that she approves and knows her father would have approved. 

Clare sat down with another one of her sisters and her mom.  Her sister told her that she questions the situation.  Clare defended him and the situation.  Her sister told her not to influence her mom’s opinion.  Clare’s sister wouldn’t let her talk to her mom…she stood to the side and kept interrupting when her mom tried to talk.  Clare never got to hear from her mother how she felt about Juan Pablo. 

Juan Pablo went to talk to Clare’s mom and the annoying sister sat down with them.  Clare tried to pull her sister away and she wouldn’t leave him alone with her mother.  Her sister spoke on behalf of her mother.  Juan Pablo pulled out his charm and got the sister to leave so he could have some alone time with her mother.  Juan Pablo fell in love with her Spanish-speaking mother.
