Feb 8: All bachelor, the dreaded Family visit. Vienna's dad is a trip lol

Family visit episode. Oh boy. Is this going to fun or what?

Tyler talks about the journey. How wonderful it's been. Watch out, wrecks ahead, ole boy!

New York is the first stop. Gia can see herself permanently with him. Well no shit, they all can!

He feels like he's falling for her too. Awwww. I think I just barfed in my mouth. Yes, I like Gia. But do they all have to say the same shit all the time? He's nervous about meeting her family. Well, who wouldn't be? Way he sounds, he's gonna grill them. She talks about a bad relationship who boffed all her friends. No doubt she has baggage. But don't we all?

He says he's looking forward to meeting her family, after that tidbit of news. But there's no smile on his face. At all. Not too good a sign. Maybe it was because she basically said if they had a fight, she'd ditch him? He turned around and said something deep. "I don't like to let the sun go down on a fight." Myself, I figure the night is the best time to get over a fight.

And it's family time at Gia's house. The mom looks just like Gia, long straight hair and all. She's gonna grill the fuck out of him. Woooooooie! Oh nice, the four women thing comes up. Gia has a way about her. Great thing to say, Los.. er Ty. Silly bastard.

She keeps talking about her wall, which is a bad thing. Time to let it down before you lose a rose, wench.

Mom liked him. Wants him to heal her heart. Kind of cute, I have to admit.

He says he's not jealous, but extremely protective. One thing is close to the other, I say.

Gia feels like it went great, and Ty thinks so too. Gia uses the L word. Stupid line of the night. Have you been kissed on a stoop? Say no, and I don't want to start now. LMAO!

With Ali, we had to meet Dead Grandma first. Is this what you want to subject the guy to, straight away?? I don't think so lolol

Her family seems nice enough. Her mom and the whole physical beauty thing is great. I like Mom. She's a cool person. That fake smile of Jake's though, means he's not invested this so much. Too bad Ali didn't see that smile. Mom would accept him for a son in law, she tells Ali. Man, my mom wouldn't, after that smile. My mom could always nail a fake smile. Can your mom do the same?

What on EARTH could happen to push Ali away? According to all the spoilers I've heard, she doesn't get a rose on purpose. I don't get it.

Now he's at Horse Face's place (IE, Tenley.) This is one unattractive woman, LMAO. Here she goes dancing. Talking about her ex again, never a wise thing to do. But yes she can dance. How pretty a thing for her to do :) I loved that part of it.

Now he's going to really find out if she's over the ex. He might not want to know this lol!

Jake talks to Dad. The first dad he's dealt with. Wonder how he'll do? Is this where he learns she ain't over the ex? Jake pops that big fake smile again. He's not impressed by Dad, for sure. Although dad seems to be impressed by him. Bless Dad's heart, he's in tears. That must be so hard for him, some bastard treats your baby like that. Go Dad! Hope she doesn't wind up with Jake, Dad.

Now he asks mom about the ex. Emotional spillovers for a while, Mom says. If anyone could be fine, it would be Horse Face? Seriously that might not have been the thing to say. Jake is going to ask for her hand in marriage. I don't feel like he should do this, unless he's serious about it. Don't do it at all, for any of the women, I think.

Dad gives Jake a good, wise answer. I like Dad.

Now it's Vienna's turn, stunner that she is. She's not everybody's taste, for sure. I find her stunning. :)

She says she's never felt like this before, to Dad. This might not be what Dad wants to hear so soon, LOLOL Ole Vincent is a trip. He doesn't like the four other girls thing. He gives the princess rap. I'm not so sure I like this Dad. Sort of a redneck. Which isn't a good thing, to have a redneck for a dad in law LOL

Jake says she's brutally honest. Good thing. Go V! He's now talking about how ugly the other women were, and Mom says she's been that way all her life with jealousy. She too says she's falling for Jake. And it's evident he cares for her. No fake smiles here!

And he's back in LA, not ready for the rose ceremony. I'm eaten alive by curiosity at this point. Knock on his door. And it's Ali. Here we go. Whatever it is, it's finally going to happen. She has to choose between staying there and going back to work. Well, Jesus. Jake doesn't know what to say. What she's asking is real, you jerk. Either let her go or keep her, for real. It isn't rocket science. I think he's letting her go. He's being sneaky about it. I get 'sneaky' from all this.

And she really has to make that choice. He sure as hell didn't tell her 'stay.' Which sucks for her. The rest of what we're going to see out of Jake is all acting. He's in love with Vienna, period, the way I see it. He doesn't LIKE losing one of his harem, but this isn't killing him. At all.

It =is= killing Ali, for sure. She needs to lose Fake Jake, and go her way. He and Vienna are a match, period.

And this is gonna be SUCH a good rose ceremony LOL! I love a bit of angst with my Bachelor. Now it's time for the talk with Chris. Jake is really acting rather well. He doesn't want her to go, he says. If it was really the love of his life, he wouldn't let her go. I'm falling in love with more than one woman, that's horseshit. Jake admits it will pressure him. Quite a burden on the poor thing. Thanks for quitting your job but you're not the one, he says. So throw her out NOW big boy. And I bet that's just what he does.

This has been the MOST Drama, short of ditching your f2 for your f1.

Ali goes to talk to Chris, and we break for a commercial. Smart Ali is gonna back out at the last moment. Jake could have stopped her, and she full well knows that he didn't. He sure didn't.

You're beautiful. You're handsome. That's how they start. And she's mad at herself, for coming there not knowing. I'd be pissed at the job. She still thinks she has a shot at Jake. We know better.

Jake does tell her I don't want you to go. And about kissing her, asks her how she felt. She says 3 other girls. He says you need to weigh that. Shitty answer, for me. When she saw the other girls, she realized she had to go. "If you were mine, the choice would be easy." Good thing for her to say, and I can't blame her. She should have known about this job thing going in, the dumb shit. From HER side, this is ignorant and a stupid thing to pull. You weren't on the line tonight, he tells her. Which meant she'd have gotten a rose tonight, anyway. He told her that much.

I feel if she was the one, he could have said a hell of a lot more.

Ali has made her decision. She tells him she has to go, and she's so sorry. Stupid thing in one sense, but I'd have pulled out too, faced with that same choice. He didn't say "Definitely stay." Or anything remotely near that.

"I feel like you're slipping through my fingers and I don't know how to stop you." Tell her you love her, or let her go. My best friend Lyds says she's too good for him. I don't think that - Ali is catty as hell. I think she's smart enough to git whilst the gitting's good.

She bawls, "I hope I made the right choice." We all know you did, sweetie. We all know you did. I feel so sorry for her.

As Lyds says, he kept the one he meant to get rid of, which IS a sad thing for that girl, not killer sad for him. He is excited about the three remaining women. We know he's lying to one of them. Wonder which one? We'll know next week when he ditches one.

Meanwhile, Ali is saying "How could I have left him." I feel two ways: A) you're a DUMMY. You think you're falling in love, you go on a show like Bachelor, you see it out. DUMMY. B) You're smart. He could have tried to stop you, but he really didn't, did he?

One little "I'm falling in love with you" would have done it. She didn't get that, did she?

My main feeling is that she's smart. She did the best thing she could have, granted in a circumstance SHE set up (she had to know about the job going into the thing.) Jake could have said a lot more to ensure she'd stay.
