ParadiseBroadcast date: Monday, 11 January 2010 at 20h00
When Big Boys turn Baby Will the umbilical cords be cut? Will the boys pick love over their moms? Will a woman's past ruin her future? So many questions...
Final DatesSince Mrs. B wouldn't pick a woman for JoJo, he gets to spend his last romantic date in the U.S. Virgin Islands with her... uh, awkward. THEN... Mrs. B's dinner with JoJo was set up with the beach picnic and steel drums, just like his date with Mindy... double awkward.
Rob takes Lauren on his final date in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Open-minded, Rob is willing to see if he can find in Lauren what his mom sees in her.
Michael takes Erica on a luxury yacht for his last date in paradise. With the big reveal looming over Erica's head, she tries to be in the moment and enjoy her date with Michael. They are so great together, I'm rooting for them... but I have no idea how her secret will rock the boat, literally and figuratively.
Elimination Day...
The moms meet with the Momma's Boys to discuss the final elimination. No surprise, Esther makes it clear that Rob should pick Lauren. In fact she tells him that he can spend time with Camilla, but not in a romantic way. She has really become more of a Mrs. B than I'd like to admit.
In a surprise moment, Lorraine tells Michael that despite Erica's past, she still approves of her. Looks like Erica made the right decision waiting to tell her "secret" until Lorraine and Michael got to know her. But, will Michael feel the same way?
Mrs. B says she wants JoJo to fall in love, but honestly, I didn't believe her. I'm not sure she will ever be ready for JoJo to love another woman.
The final elimination...Rob is up first. Practical vs. passion.
In a shocking moment, Rob asks Lauren to go away with him. I didn't see this coming. I actually thought he would be the one to stand up to his mom and follow his heart. Lauren is an amazing woman, don't get me wrong, but she wasn't the woman Rob wanted.
Michael is up next. Another big shocker... Michael chose Amanda. Hmmm. Despite his mother wanting Michael to pick the Penthouse Pet of the Year over the doctor... Michael chose Amanda. All I can say is hmmm... I just didn't see anything between them. I didn't get this choice at all.
JoJo has the most ridiculous elimination of all. He has to choose between his mother and Mindy. This is an unfair situation, but a far too realistic one. This elimination sums up this series in my opinion.
Mindy, in a bold moment, says everything that a lot of women have probably wanted to say. Love HER!
Then... in probably the biggest moment of the series, JoJo stands up and decides to pick her over Mrs. B.
