Blake and Katie having fun playing street hockey as Greg looks on forlornly from the balcony. That wasn't set up at ALL.

Blake's date reminds me of Zack's date with Tayshia last season. Cute.
Greg is being a little over dramatic IMO. They were playing road hockey and had a kiss. It's not like he caught them having sex.

Are popped collars a thing again?

Blake's pre-family-meet-up coaching was a little annoying. Almost bossy, but Katie looks nervous so maybe she needed that. Blake's mom has some good questions, such as is it just infatuation? I liked how the sister called him out on being in love with the other Bachelorettes, falling so quickly for them! (and I heard an "aboot"!)

His face totally fell when his sister called him out. Katie did seem really nervous but looked like she got over it.

Blake's brother is a cutie.
I like that Katie actually wore something cute and appropriate meeting Blake's family. Lately they don't seem to make the effort or wear something that I think is a little too revealing for MTP.

Please tell me there was more to the Baltimore theme than a graffiti wall...
He seems a bit salty that his parents couldn't make it out.

Justin's funny facial expressions continue with the family phone call, and through the date! He cracks me up. Someone online said, what do you want to bet that his parents didn't come because she was going to pick Andrew, so Justin's parents didn't quarantine in time. Interesting thought.

Justin's date is set up similar to Blake's. Trying to give her a taste of his hometown, but it just doesn't seem as much fun or have as much chemistry. I don't know if it was because he was nervous about telling her his folks couldn't be there or he isn't as into her as Blake. TBH she doesn't seem to be as into him either.

They could've at least taken a ride past the pool, and called it the harbor, right? Sorry, not really feeling their chemistry here. He's nice enough and all, but it's not love, IMO.

They both seem to be going through the motions at this point. I think she is over it and ready to get to the end.

"I believe we can get there."
Nah, I just don't see it. She doesn't light up with Justin like she did with Blake.

Greg's cuter now than I thought he was at the beginning. They look cute on the tandem bike too. That surfer blow-up thing looks super fun!
After seeing these dates, comparing Blake's and Greg's to Justin's proves that they either were NOT prepared for Baltimore, or the producers knew there was not a chance he'd go to the end and didn't want to put money into his date.

Oh look, more of that "The Notebook" rain during a passionate kissing scene. Fake rain? Probably 🙄

I think you were right when you said that she was initially planning to pick Andrew, so they werent prepared for Justin.

These Home-town dates are cheap all the way around. Don't they usually travel to the final three's actual hometown to see where they went to school, visit the family's home, etc.?

So based on Greg's date it was clearly between Greg and Blake. I wonder why tptb were playing with Greg's head? Just because he was more vulnerable and they could? I don't get why they just can't let things play out naturally. It would probably be more interesting.
They just had to have the sweeping/soaring romantic music for the end of Greg's date. I don't know why they bother. They have been showing us them crashing and burning all season.

Yes, but because of COVID, they kept everyone on the premises. I really thought Greg's brother looked a lot like Justin's friend! Then I saw this on Twitter and at least I'm not alone!

They have talked about the logistics? She will be coming to NY? Hmmm...

Greg's being a pouty boy. I understand he was being vulnerable, and wanted her to say the L word back, but sheesh. He was snotty, then would shut down, then give up, and be snotty again ... man! Grow up!

AND, the big question is ... was this reaction real, or is he just acting?

"You seem fine" he says to her. Passive aggressive much?

Oh Lord, just go on, then. I was liking him a bit more earlier, but now he seems like a high maintenance drama queen.
BYE.

Yes, there is a disconnect! Katie just looks confused and doesn't know WTH he is talking about. I don't either.
This is what people do when they want to make you dump them. They put the blame on you and you just question yourself and wonder what you did wrong, when really it is just them looking for any excuse to run off.
