After last week’s hometown visit, it is very clear that Peter is ruining his season.  He claims to feel a strong connection to all three of the girls left in the running—even telling Maddison that he loves her. Yet, watchers are still searching for the proof in his words.

The only ‘connection’ I see while watching is Pete’s love of red flags.  If a woman cries or, as Peter puts it, ‘opens up’, she is almost guaranteed a rose.  This is very evident with Victoria F.

This week’s episodes were focused on meeting each girl’s family and seeing where they came from.  Peter was told by an old girlfriend that Victoria has a bad reputation in her hometown, Virginia Beach. After this encounter, Victoria and Peter end up having a fight before he is able to meet her family.

Now, never in a million years did I think I’d be advocating for the hot mess that is Kelsey—but her hometown date went off without a hitch.  Her and Peter had a really good time (without any drama, for once) and he seemed to fit in with her family.

Yet, even without meeting her family and the majority of their date spent fighting, Victoria F. was given the rose advancing her onto next week and Kelsey was sent home. Recently, it seems like all Victoria and Peter do is fight.  Yet, he continues to send her though to the next week.

Before she was sent home, Kelly questioned whether or not Peter was truly ready for marriage because she saw him continually rewarding drama.  In my opinion, Kelly hit the nail on the head.  Peter continually rewards the women who cause drama. The moment his relationship with Kelsey became easy and drama-free, he sent her home. But, the moment drama entered his relationship with Victoria F. she is given a rose and advanced into the next week.

I tend to agree with Kelly—is Peter really looking for his future wife or is he playing the Bachelor game for ratings and reviews?  If he were truly ready for marriage, I see no logical reason for him sending Victoria F. through after last week’s events.
