It’s hometown dates week! This is probably one of my favorite episodes of the whole season. So here we go!<\/p>\n
Andi starts out in Nick’s hometown of Chicago and they meet in a market before walking over to a brewery where they take a tour.<\/p>\n
At first I think this is a lame hometown date but then he pulls out a cute little stop by pouring her a beer from the “Nick & Andi The Perfect Brew” \u00a0spout which yeah, would make me smile.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n They then dance to polka?<\/p>\n Because people do that?<\/p>\n It just looks like they’re trying not to burn their feet on hot coals.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n They then meet Nick’s family and holy crap! There are a bajillion of them! 10 siblings! And they’re all firing questions at Andi and she admits to being overwhelmed. Then the little sister who is about 10 years old pulls out a list of questions she has prepared and it’s pretty adorable, including “Do you truly love my brother?” and Andi replies with ” I think your brother is amazing and he makes me super, super happy… in the very end I could definitely see a future with your brother.”<\/p>\n Little Sister takes that as “She loves him” or “maybe it was like?”<\/p>\n She don’t know, She’s 10.<\/p>\n Andi is then quizzed on all the people on the ginormous wall o’ pictures and she nails it.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n She remembered all 10 siblings’ names! How is that possible?!<\/p>\n They must have whispered them into her ear.<\/p>\n The next hometown goes to Chris the Friend Zone Farmer and Andi visits him in Arlington, Iowa.<\/p>\n He first shows her his house and she is like “Daaaaaaayum. Man owns a house! That’s hotttt!” Because all of the other dudes she dated in the past must have been losers.<\/p>\n Then she says “Shut up” about 32 times before riding on his big green tractor.<\/p>\n Isn’t that a song?<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n She is super impressed by watching him drive the manly tractor and when it’s her turn she asks to ride on his lap.<\/p>\n And of course he didn’t say no.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Because a jostling tractor and a woman on the lap can mean nothing but a good time.<\/p>\n I mean….<\/p>\n They picnic in the field and she questions what on earth she would do for work in a little farm town and he replies with “There’s an opportunity to be a homemaker…” and she does the polite giggle while swallowing the vomit.<\/p>\n He then pulls a super cute and points her attention to a plane flying overhead that says “Chris Loves Andi” and she EATS that business right<\/em> up.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n She then meets his family, which includes three sisters, and one of them informs Andi that he would never offer up the info, but that he is very<\/em> successful and I know that raises an eyebrow.<\/p>\n The mom is all over Andi practically wanting to adopt the girl and she gets along fine with everyone else and they end the night by playing a hide-and-seek type game in the dark which Andi seems to love.<\/p>\n The next hometown is with Josh Cubin and he, of course, takes her to the baseball field. And I can’t help but eye Andi’s shorts. Because they are SHORTs. Like… I hope to baby Jesus that she got waxed before this date.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Josh Cubin talks about how hard it s for him to be at the field and that he hasn’t been there for seven years and I wonder what the heck he’s been doing the last seven years?! His job ” former pro baseball player” was a loooooong time ago.<\/p>\n Red flag.<\/p>\n She then meets his family and awwww. We have a moment. As they’re saying hello to his family Cubin starts crying because he’s missed them so.<\/p>\n Like he literally pursed his lips an let a woman wipe his tears away.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n And as they’re sitting around the kitchen table I notice, minus a good spray, Andi looks like she belongs in this family. Like, not as a spouse. As a sibling.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Did you notice that?<\/p>\n I’ve heard here and there that you tend to marry someone who you resemble.<\/p>\n Is this true for you?<\/p>\n I guess it could kindof be true for us?<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Awwww… all the way back six years ago…<\/p>\n Anyway, Andi sits down to talk with Mama Cubin and Andi asks her how it will go down if Cubin marries and the cord is cut from this tight-knit family and the Mama Cubin states that the cord won’t<\/em> be cut. That they’re just too close. The sister even tells Andi they’ll probably fight about it in the future if they end up together.<\/p>\n Andi sees a red flag.<\/p>\n As she should.<\/p>\n Cubin and his mama talk and she points out that he has put himself last for too long and he starts crying.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And I “Awwww” a little bit. My thoughts might be changing about Cubin \u00a0a little here.<\/p>\n I said might.<\/p>\n Last up is Marcus and she meets him in Dallas.<\/p>\n He takes her to a creepy red and black club, pours her some champagne and \u00a0recreates the strip-tease dance he did way back when during a group date and I couldn’t think of anything lamer to do. And for goodness sakes, your mother is watching!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Andi then meets his family and the first thing I notice is how much his sister reminds of of Stiffler’s mom in American Pie.<\/p>\n Am I wrong?<\/p>\n
