And the drama continues for these Momma's Boys ...
While still in Santa Barbara, Lorraine gives Meghan a hard time about her work with Playboy. Erica is sitting back and listening but struggles internally with how/when to let Lorraine in on her past. But, before she can do anything about it ...
It's time to leave Santa Barbara and head to St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.
But, is it paradise in St. Thomas with mom in tow?
Esther is not happy that Robb has brought Camilla to St. Thomas, not because she isn't a lovely woman, but because she isn't Jewish. Robb's grandparents are holocaust survivors and Esther feels that it's important to continue the religious lineage. She 'says' it would be easier for someone of the same religious upbringing to be integrated into their family and understand their background.
Frankly, Esther and Mrs. B seem to have a lot in common. Mrs. B doesn't want a racial mix and Esther doesn't want a religious mix. I wonder though if Camilla was Jewish, if it would bother her that Camilla is black? Hmmm... These moms may be much more similar than I thought.
Mrs. B is ... well Mrs. B. During JoJo's group date, Mrs. B announced to everyone that Mindy's boobs were too big. Can we all say ... AWKWARD. And inappropriate. But alas not a surprise coming from this woman. Even the nice southern teacher can't catch a break from the wrath that is Mrs. B.
During Michael's group date, he can't keep his eyes off Meghan...despite Lorraine's disapproval. Then, to top it off, the next day Michael takes her for his one-on-one date. While Lorraine sat back waiting for Meghan's return from the date, night began to fall.
Michael and Meghan were having a little too much fun in the water...on the beach ... in the sand ... let's just say, there was a little too much kissing for Lorraine's taste, at least with a Playboy model.
JoJo chose Mindy for his one-on-one date. During a walk on the beach, they learned to play the steel drums and then it was time to enjoy a romantic beach picnic. Mindy stepped up and put JoJo on the spot about Mrs. B, wanting to know if he was ready to let her go and be able to stand up for a woman he was dating if she were to continue to make comments like she had made about her boobs.
JoJo, realizing he has true feelings for her, knows that he has to confront his mom about it, but knows it is easier said than done.
Next up - Date time with Camilla. Robb chose Camilla for his one-on-one date. After a little shopping and walking, Robb made his move and kissed her.
Esther has tried to play off Robb's interest in Camilla has much more of a friendship - but she may think differently if she had seen that kiss. Then over a meal, Robb and Camilla discuss their families and how each would accept someone coming into their lives. Especially someone from a different background.
Michael chose Amanda to go on a one-on-one date. He can't find any negatives about her, but on the other hand, he doesn't seem to be that into her. But their date showed him differently. From scuba diving to a romantic view of the whole island, Michael got closer to Amanda.
After the one-on-one dates, it was elimination time. But, this time, things were a little different. Each of the moms could keep the one girl they wanted for their son and the Momma's Boys could keep one. So, someone was going home ... and probably someone that one of the Momma's Boys was into.
With the though decisions ahead, the moms had a chance to talk to their sons before elimination. With emotions running high, no one held back on their opinions.
Before I discuss the actual elimination, I must say that I am really losing faith in the moms. With the exception of Mrs. B who has been terrible from the start, I had high hopes for Esther and Lorraine, but as the season draws to a close, I'm getting frustrated with the lack of support and trust they put in their sons.
Look, I'm not saying that Lorraine may not have a point with the Playboy thing, or that Meghan was the ideal, but they aren't listening to their sons at all.
I mean, does anyone really think that one of these guys is going to end up marrying one these ladies? JoJo is barely in his 20's ... Michael and Robb both still live at home. And with the lack of success another reality love show ... on another network ... has seen, I think its safe to say, they will all probably be single in a year.
Ok, back to the elimination heading into the finale.
Michael throws everyone a curve ball and sides with his mom. He keeps Amanda and lets Meghan go. Lorraine of course chose Erica.
Robb kept Camilla, and Esther kept Lauren.
JoJo ... only having 2 girls to pick from since Mrs. B didn't bring one to St. Thomas made a bold statement saying he has fallen for Mindy.
I can't wait to see how this turns out ... Mrs. B pits herself against Mindy in the season finale ... who will JoJo pick ... his mom or Mindy? Is he ready to let his mom go?
What happens when Erica reveals her secret?
Will Lauren win Robb over in the end?
To be revealed in the season Finale next week.
