Arie meets four girls' skeptical families this week on The Bachelor.
"Kendall is not your average girl"
Arie and Kendall return to LA for Kendall's hometown date. And since Kendall's the quirky taxidermist, she takes Arie to a warehouse full of taxidermied animals where they taxidermy their own mice, dress them in little wedding clothes, and put them in a Paris diorama. Arie was a bit creeped out, but pushed through because he might get to sleep with this blonde chick next week in an exotic location.
Kendall then introduces Arie to her mom, dad, brother, and twin sister. Kendall's mom tells her to follow her heart, Kendall's dad can't give his blessing to Arie, but says if Kendall wants it, she has their support, Kendall's twin, Kylie, thinks it's a problem that Kendall's response to Arie saying he's falling for her was just to kiss her and tells her she needs to tell Arie how she feels. She does.
"To Airy and Tia maybe"
Next Arie meets Tia in Arkansas, and just in case you hadn't realized she was southern, they raced cars on a muddy track. Then Tia introduces Arie to her parents, brother, aunt, and cousin. They've all been surfing the web and grill Arie on being a playboy. Arie asks the second dad for his daughter's hand, and Tia's dad says he'll trust Tia on that front.
"Is Becca the real deal or are we wasting our time here?"
Moving back west a little, Arie meets Becca K in Minneapolis, MN for some apple picking and talking of a dead dad. Becca's family are protective, especially Pastor Uncle Gary who took over father figure duties when Becca's dad passed. Becca's mom tells Becca she'd be sad if she left Minnesota, but just wants her to be happy. Since dad's not around, Arie asks mom for her blessing. Becca's mom says she'll honor Becca's choice. That being said, she tells Arie, "I really like you and you've really done well with my weird family."
"I trust Lauren. I have to have faith in that."
The last hometown is back east at Virginia Beach. Lauren B. and Arie ride horses on the beach and toast with crab legs. Arie is the most nervous about this meet the parents. He barely makes it minutes into dinner before having to go mop sweat off his brow. Lauren's dad is a veteran and Arie thanks him for his service and talks about a goodwill tour to Afghanistan he and some other race care drivers went on in 2008 (side note: Lauren was 15 when Arie did this). This wins dad over. Asked for his blessing, dad says he trusts Lauren. And it's four for four of the parents telling Arie their daughters are not for them to give to them!
"Who is he deciding between?"
Back at Bachelor Mansion one last time, Arie has to send one of the girls whose family he told he was falling for them home. He can barely get the words out. He pulls Kendall aside to ask if she thinks she can get to engaged in the next two weeks. She doesn't say yes, but doesn't say no either... The other three girls are confused and nervous. They come back and Arie gives roses to Becca and Lauren. Chris Harrison makes his obligatory appearance to inform the girls of the last rose, which is then given to Kendall. Arie walks a sobbing Tia out. Which just rolls right into the previews for next week, which is just sounds of girls sobbing.
