On this week's episode of The Bachelor, Jason racked up the frequent flyer miles when he visited the hometowns of the final 4 women.  In Canada, Jillian really opened up about her past, filling in Jason on her mother's mental illness.  In Michigan, Molly's family tested Jason to see how silly he could be and asking him to perform tasks, such as drawing a picture of her.  In Texas, Jason was only able to meet Melissa's friends, after her parents decided that they did not want to be on camera.  In California, though, Jason's hometown date with Naomi became a little weird when her  mother asked him to eulogize a dead dove that had hit her car earlier in the day.  The connection just wasn't there for the two and Jason eliminated her at the rose ceremony.  Following her elimination, Naomi spoke to the press in a conference call about her family, if she's dating anyone now, and who she's rooting for.

Q. FlashNews.com: Your hometown date was one of the most unique ones on The Bachelor.  Has your mom ever made any of your other boyfriends give a eulogy for a dead bird or anything like that?
A: Naomi: Oh gosh, no.  That was so - it was so embarrassing. Oh my God. My mom has met one serious boyfriend and that was my longest relationship.  And obviously nothing that crazy, I mean my mom’s kind of out there but I think she definitely could not wait to make her television debut. So I think that she’s really excited and wanted to just - she’s quirky like that and she’s just, I don’t know, sometimes I wonder.

Q. FlashNews.com:  Has she ever done anything else that you know like a date in high school or anything like that where you were just like, "Oh God, Mom, please"?
A: Naomi: You know my mom and I, we had a strange relationship for a long time. My parents divorced when I was younger. My dad got custody and my mom kind of gave him custody. She was experiencing, I don’t know, I still don’t know what it’s called, a midlife crisis or whatever.  But we went to New York with my dad. And I actually kind of spent the rest of my childhood there. I spent my freshman year in high school in Puerto Rico. I moved out to California in my sophomore year, was living with my sister, my older sister who was always kind of like my motherly figure I guess you could say.  And then back in New York for junior and senior years.  So I didn’t have really a relationship with my mom throughout that time. It wasn’t, you know, she didn’t have the opportunity to do that.

Q. RealityTVWorld.com: Jason said that your family’s antics and stuff on that hometown date didn’t play a role in the elimination.  Did you believe that?
A: Naomi: You know, I had a tough time that night because Jason, you know, I think he’s intuitive. And I think that as far as the way he felt about letting me go, deep down inside it didn’t matter what I said. That’s just what he felt. You know he’s like, I can’t, you know, as far as me not being ready at this time in my life.  I think that the reason that was and I think that in a different situation, you know, obviously outside of this whole experience, I’m ready. I absolutely want kids. I absolutely want a family.  But I think that because we weren’t meant for each other, it didn’t feel right.

Q: ETOnline.com: Are you seeing anybody?
A: Naomi:   No, no. I am just taking time to - I’m waiting. I’m waiting on - like I’ve always had a very strong faith. I’m not by any means the most religious person but I have a strong faith.  And coming out of this situation with Jason, you know, the next day I was just praying and praying, praying and I felt like when that right guy comes along, you know, I’m going to be patient. And God’s got somebody out there for me and I can’t - I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I just got to focus on me right now.  And, you know, focus on getting myself stable again into a career and, you know, that sort of thing. And when the right time comes, the right guy comes along, it's going to be worth it.

Q. ETOnline.com: Who are you rooting for for the three remaining girls?
A. Naomi: Oh my gosh, well, Jill or Melissa. I mean those two are like, I love them. I love them to death. I mean it was nothing. I mean I think Molly is great too. I just I didn’t get as close with Molly as I did with those two girls.  He’ll be happy with anybody though. I think that I left really trusting that I was leaving three great girls behind.  But yeah, I love them.
