On last week's two hour "fill time while the Olympics are on" special episode we watched the women's home town dates, and watched, and watched, and watched. Dr. Love started off by meeting Moana's family in sunny California, then traveled to far off and exotic Winnipeg, Manitoba (for our American viewers to get there you go North and turn left at the igloos) to meet Sarah B.'s family. Returning to Nashville, Dr. Love's hometown, he hosted a barbeque for Sarah S.'s family at his home (apparently there is something wrong or at least embarrassing with their home) and finally he met Susan's family in Durham, North Carolina. Thoroughly jet lagged he flew back to Paris for the rose ceremony and after fighting off RoboChris' advances offered roses to all of the non-Canadians. In a tearful farewell he explained to Sarah B. how he just couldn't get past her insistence on putting a 'u' in words like colour. Sarah was shocked that she wasn't been dumped for logical reasons like she lives in a different country but Dr. Love was so out of it he couldn't offer a better explanation. Dr. Love was allowed just a day or so to recover before being sent jetting off on this week's three fantasy dates. The Olympics are still on and there is another two hour slot to fill but with only thirty minutes of good material the producers are doing what producers always do to fill time... starting off with half an hour of flashbacks!
"I'm here in Venice where they seem to have suffered some serious flooding but no one seems to care. Who can understand the Italians?"	"Coming on the show I never expected to feel like a couple with anyone but the producers have told me that when I see Moana it will feel like she's my girlfriend or certain 'friends' of theirs will make my stay uncomfortable. It was an offer I couldn't refuse".
"I'm very excited, it almost feels like it's over and I'm the person standing there at the end, hosting my own talk show".	"What is this, I mean it's obviously a church but which one, what's it about?" "It's the Basilica Di San Marco and I think it's about worshipping god. I should be asking you this stuff, you're the religious freak".
"In the square at San Marco there are these swarms..." "Flocks". "... flocks of pigeons..." "Sky rats". "... and you're supposed to try to feed them without letting them crap all over you. When we got Travis away from there and he was able to stop shaking and speak coherently he said I was lucky I don't watch Hitchcock movies".	"I had a great time, in the OC. See how I'm down with the lingo?". "Even though you got ambushed by my parents?" "It wasn't so much of an ambush as it was a full frontal, take no prisoners, kind of assault".
"You continue to amaze me, we're in Italy and you just break out some Italian". "I'm first generation Italian-American, my parents are from Italy, my first language was Italian. I'm amazed you never realised that".	"I'm really excited to be here in Venice with you, I'm almost excited enough to have an expression".
"There's a myth in Venice that when you pass under a bridge in a gondola you're supposed to kiss the woman you're with". A "myth"? "Myth"? Are you sure it's a "myth" and not, oh I don't know, a "tradition"?	"One of the great things about Moana is we can have these moments of silence, moments where she'll just shut up for a few minutes and give me some peace".
"I can't tell you how great it is to just be silent and not have to listen to her going on and on about the other girls and our feelings".	"Do you think we'd get in trouble if we threw things at the accordion player?" "It's probably best if we don't, you never know who people are connected with around here. Just pay him and he'll wander away".
"Everyone thinks it would be a guy's dream to date twenty-five women". No, it's a guy's dream to sleep with twenty-five women without having to date them!"	"Moana and Travis, if you decide to disappoint your parents on national TV you can spend the night together as a couple in the fantasy suite. If you would rather maintain the lie that you're still a virgin you can spend the night in your individual rooms".
"So the truth is, I do want to spend more time with you alone. Alone, naked and sweaty".	"Never in my life have I cheated on a girlfriend. Of course being the uber-slut that I am I've never had a girlfriend".
"Here I am about to sleep with Moana and I have two more of these fantasy dates with two other women. How lucky am I?"	"Spending time with Susan in Vienna is going to give me a chance to see if I can get past these sisterly feelings I have towards her. Plus I get to wear this kickin' hat!"
"It's great that Travis thinks of me as a good friend and all, but I want him to see that I have boobies and all the other girl parts".	"So do you have a fear of heights?" "No, I'll ride you anytime, anywhere". "I was talking about the ferris wheel".
"The really interesting thing about all European cities is that all the buildings are the exact same height, except of course for all the buildings that are different heights".	"I have to tell you that I'm pretty excited to get to hang out with you today. You're like one of the boys and it's such a nice change from all the romance, romance, romance with the other girls.
"This feels so great". "This day has been so relaxing so far, it's so nice to hang out with someone and not have to worry about developing feelings for them".	"Hey you're touching me, stay on your own side!"
"Travis has given me a few kisses but they're the kind of kisses he'd give his sister. I'm going to get better kisses tonight if I have to tie him down, hell I might just tie him down anyway".	"[sniff] [sniff] What's that smell?" "Horse farts". "Ewwww."
"I think being intimate with someone is a very private thing, even if you're video taping it and posting it on the internet".	"Sarah and I are building a relationship that isn't based on a romantic interest".
"I want to let Travis know that I'm very interested in him, that I want him and I want to be with him in the biblical sense and I want a relationship. And I hope he can start to see me as more than just a buddy to hang out with".	"The time we spend together I cherish because I don't really have a best-friend I can really talk to about the girls I'm really interested in".
"I really want this to go back home to Nawshwan". Where is Nawshwan? I thought she was from Nashville, is Nawshwan a suburb of Nashville?	"One thing I'd like to do with you is just grab a beer and watch the game. All this romantic stuff isn't us. Let's get out of here".
"I think we should take the food and head up to the fantasy suite and just hang out. Oh, and swipe some silverware, I'm missing some forks from when your parents were visiting".	"Oh wow, oh my, this place is so nice. But my idea of a fantasy suite doesn't include a camera crew". "Don't mind them, it's not like anything is going to happen anyway".
"You just eloquently explained to me why you think we're compatible without putting down the other girls. I really admire that but it makes for lousy TV".	"There was tongue! There was tongue! You don't see me as just one of the guys anymore!"
"So what do you think of this?" "The view is unbelievable, I love it". "No my hat, what do you think of my hat?"	"I'm so excited to be here in the French Alps with Travis, I'll really be able to show my range for my demo reel".
"I love this. Now I can add 'rock climbing' to my resume".	"The director wants us to sit down and discuss our relationship, we'd better do what he wants or they'll spit in our dinner".
"So what are your plans for after the show?" "I'm going to head to Los Angeles and try to leverage my appearance on this show into a showbiz career".	"I do hope that Susan has legitimate feelings towards me, or is into having some casual sex".
"What should we drink to?" "Your many future rock climbing adventures". "I'd rather drink to my career". "Sure, here's to your career".	"They said you were talking about our date like it was some kind of competition you'd won". "You've got to be kidding me! They swore they weren't going to tell you".
"It's just so the opposite of how I feel, so these questions about competition and furthering my career if they're affecting how he feels it sucks. Scene!"	"That's all I wanted to know, that you didn't walk into the house and say 'Yo ladies what's up, Travis and I kissed'". "Oh my god, it really bothers me that you'd think I'd talk like that!"
"I really do, care for Travis, I like Travis I care what he thinks. I love every second that we're together. To acknowledge that and to realise that I'm falling for him takes a huge leap in faith, I, I, ah. Cut! Let's go again from the top... and action!"	"I think Susan did a great job of allaying any fears that I have that she can't act very well. I thought she did a good job acting sincere".
"I'm glad I was able to show Travis that I can kick it around on a mountain peak and then come to dinner and be sophisticated and elegant. I don't want to get typecast before my career even takes off".	"I love women who disagree with me, because I need to figure out the answers to life and I love it when someone challenges me and my ideas". "Oh I totally agree with everything you say, you're absolutely right".
"I'm totally nervous right now, this whole show is like one big audition for me. If I screw this up it could ruin my chances at a career".	"Don't think of it as a fantasy suite, think of it as a really fancy casting couch".
"Sorry about this but the producer said there hasn't been enough gratuitous bikini shots this week". "No problem, if it doesn't work out for me in Hollywood this will help me get work in the adult film industry".	"I'm really torn, I either have to send someone home who can have me disappeared, send home someone who has real feelings for me or I have to send Susan home".
Screw global warming. The place looks cool with all the lights on!	"Moana, will you accept this rose". "Please tell me she's the producers pick, please!"
"Susan, I'm sorry but you are the weakest link".	"Our relationship just felt, too formal". "Too formal, I don't understand". "I just felt really uncomfortable calling you 'Mistress Susan'".
"I think my biggest challenge tonight was being honest with Susan when I was saying goodbye. I wish I hadn't failed that challenge".	"This is ridiculous, I got dumped because I'm formal. He had a safe word!"
