The Best And Worst Moments From "The Bachelor’s" Hometown Dates
Hometown dates have arrived!
Season 21 of The Bachelor is off and running! Each week, Terri — who has seen every episode of The Bachelor and the spinoffs — and Rachel — who is watching for the first time — will be recapping the latest episode of this epic season. We missed last week because Terri was at the Westminster Dog Show, and Rachel was off/just couldn't get it up for two straight hours of non-action after Episode 6.

The episode starts off with Nick “romantically” handing out roses to the remaining four women he didn't unceremoniously dump mid-episode: Raven, Rachel, Corinne, and Vanessa. And with that, it's off to their hometown dates, which we've distilled into the most memorable moments for your entertainment:
Raven’s hometown date: Swamp humping and ATV jumping.
Best moment: Raven greets Nick in her hometown of Hoxie, Arkansas, on an ATV, and announces that the only fun things to do there are “mudding, frog digging, and climbing grain bins.” After this episode, she'll have to add “frolicking around in bog water like she's in a Nicholas Sparks movie,” because she and Nick sure do make that look like an enticing activity on their date.
Most WTF moment: Raven watches Nick drive away at the end of the date and opines that not saying “I love you” might put her behind the other contestants. Uh, Raven? You already told him that two weeks ago. Methinks the swamp water's seeping into her brain.
Biggest grab-the-Kleenex moment: Five seconds after Nick meets Raven's parents, his mother divulges that Raven's father's latest cancer screening came back clear and HOO BOY, that's all it took to open the floodgates.
Most “have you watched this show before?” moment: It's not a hometown date without an ex or a paid actor dropping in to make things awkward, and this time, Raven's brother does the honors by crashing their date in his cop car. We are divided over whether or not Nick actually believed he was going to get arrested.
The answer to the inevitable “may I have your daughter's hand in marriage?” question: Nick has the requisite — and, quite frankly, ridiculous — talk with Raven's dad to ask for his blessing to propose. Mr. Raven's dad spits out a veritable word salad before settling on, “I could live with that.” Somehow, when he says it, it actually sounds sweet.
