And we start with a scene from the Godfather...oops...Maria's father discussing how he has never seen her affectionate with someone.
After that stereotypical intro, we seque into Joey meeting Kelsey in her HT and I think the first monkey jump. Darn. I had hoped that we could go a whole season without one.
Kelsey meets up her family it looks like in a restaurant. Joey says he wants a future with Kelsey? Her family is protective. She tells her sister she is unsure of where he is with the other women, but other than that, she has no concerns. Her dad has a chat with him. Joey tells him he is very hopeful...and he hopes they are engaged when she comes back home. Her dad seems so nice. During dads chat with her, they are in tears... me too. (I'd be down with him as the next Golden Bachelor!)
Really nice, easy HTD. He says they left today stronger than he went into it. She wants to blurt that she loves him and is ready to fight for him! Two thumbs up for that date.

Is her dad single? He'd make a fantastic not-quite-golden bachelor.

Rachel's dad doesn't look too into this whole thing.

^ Great idea, I love it!! I didn't catch his name, but Kelsey's dad for Golden Bachelor! The widower storyline could continue; we know it works!
Now, Rachel's dad seems less involved/interested/impressed. They sure had a lot of people over to meet Joey. The little nephew was just adorable - what a sweetie!

Next up Rachel. Everything is easy with her. He likes their Hawaii connection. She sees herself falling in love, but doesn't want to be hurt again. Doesn't think her family will be a fan of this. Her dad is giving Joey a bit of the side eye and standing back.
Mom likes how Joey is so respectful and up to trying their traditions. Her sister likes how he gets along with her own son.
Dad is skeptical and trying to keep Rachel on an even keel to keep her protecting herself.
Mom talks to Joey. He is trying to reassure mom. He tells her he really cares for Rachel, but she knows there are still three other women.
I'm not seeing the chemistry during this date. Too many people, too many distractions.

Rachel's family seems fun. Why did I think Rachel was reared in Hawaii? She often mentions Hawaiian culture, so that's why I thought she was from there.
Did she say her parents were divorced? I guess I missed the part where she has experienced heartbreak. Who hasn't? Broken engagement?

Rachel again says she likes him. Likes. Maybe she is holding back and protecting herself, but I sense that she likes him and she knows that's it.
Dad is talking with Joey. They are beating us up with how traditional dad is and how much she wants their approval. Joes kind of asks for dad's blessing, but dad says "call me when/if the time comes". It's not a yes, but it's not a no.
Rachel's sister reminds me of Charity!
Rachel has done a lot of crying this episode. I get her parents wanting to protect her. She says she is falling in love, but it feels forced...as if that is what she needs to say, not necessarily what she feels. Not getting the feels with this one...from either of them.

I guess I missed the part where she has experienced heartbreak. Who hasn't? Broken engagement? I think she is originally from Hawaii. I'm not sure when they moved or even if they did or if tptb set this date up here because it was easier for filming. I know they have rented houses for HTDs before, but not sure if they moved the actual location. Next up Minnesota with Daisy. He sees himself falling with Daisy, but there is some hesitation because she can't declare her love until he meets her family. Another monkey jump. They are on her family Christmas tree farm...like a Christmas Hallmark movie...including Santa and Mrs. Claus. We get cute alpacas and Daisy's friends. She tells them she is really happy. She says he helped her see herself in a better light. She is still looking for the family validation and is almost using them as an excuse to not be in a relationship with him. Hmmm...She kind of reminds me of Rachel in that both of them are talking about falling in love, but using their family as a shield.

A Daisy cottage cheese ad break in the middle of Daisy's date?

Cut to a commercial after a hearing Daisy's interview, and the commercial is for Daisy cottage cheese! He really looks at her differently than he did Rachel.

Grandma's sweater looks like it's got peek-a-boo's but they're just polka dots! haha! Threw me off for a minute.
Daisy's family seems nice.
Her reaction to her brother's voice made me tear up!

Joey does the family meet and greets really well.
Daisy is so giggly around him!

They have an easy connection, the Hawaii connection, but I think that is it. Maria is that sex kitten. Daisy and Kelsey are the two who is really interested in ... and thus far, Daisy is still holding back. Mom talks with Joey and is obviously afraid for her daughter. She also sees that Daisy is holding back. Everyone is supportive either way, but both mom and dad are encouraging her to go for it if she is feeling it. She is really questioning herself, which makes me question if she is really as into Joey as she wants to be. She finally spits it out to Joey that she is falling in love with him and we get that soaring music. He is feeling very confident and can see her being his wife. She says she is falling in love. I am confused with this date. It was good. There is chemistry, but now I am hesitant?

Maid of the Mist...brings back memories of a family trip when I was about 12! I loved the Canadian side of the Falls even more!

I have never been less interested in a home town date than I am for Maria's.

Maria is in Niagara Falls and they go on the Maid of the Mist and drink maple whiskey. They always have fun, but is that enough to overcome all the issues? I think not. He brings up about her threatening to leave. She is still bitching about being scared about seeing him with other women, but that is not the issue, it was how she went about it. She says it won't happen again. I'm not buying it and neither is he. She tells him she has never brought anyone home.
Shot of family again...with the Godfather music. If she gets hurt it would be a problem for Joey. Stupid. Maria's eyebrows annoy me, but her father's annoy me even more! I hope she isn't the next Bette. I couldn't take this stupidity.

Why is Joey meeting Maria's family so late? Everyone else met their families during the day and it is dark when they arrive.
I don't know what it is about Maria, but I am just not buying what she is selling...or her dad. I hate the "princess" label. I also hate this "mafia" music that they are playing during this segment. It is frankly disrespectful and stereotypical. Dad gives Joey his blessing if they get to the end. Where is the clip from before where dad was going for Joey.
Dad tells Maria Joey is a good guy and to bring her guard down and give it a shot since he hasn't seen her glowing this much ever.
Joey and Maria watch home movies as her family and friend creepily watch them through the window. She then tells him she appreciates him being here. Well, that was a let down. She wanted to tell him how she feels, but she froze. Yeah, not buying it.

Ohh yeah, Midol, what was that clip? The dad was somehow difficult, right?
And does anyone remember about her accident, when she almost died? Was the mom affected at all? I'm wondering why we didn't hear from her.
