This week on Match Made in Heaven, Sean's mother arrived and the ladies had very different approaches on how to handle her. 

At the first event, a mixer if you will, for the girls to get to know Sean's mother, the different strategies and motives of the girls were made very clear. Cristina E, one of my favorites, respectfully approached Mama Bullard and introduced herself. Rather than throw herself at her like some kind of groupie, she let her know that she wasn't trying to crowd her, leading Mama B to label Cristina as "sweet". Score one for Cristina! 

Angela was feeling a little more aggressive and wanted some alone time with Sean, so she boldly approached him so she could talk to him outside. He snuck away and met her, but she wanted to do more than talk. She told him how much she liked him and proceeded to throw herself on him. Sean's mother realized he was missing and came out to look for him and caught him and Angela locked in a passionate embrace. When that happened, Angela sealed her fate on the show. Sean might be attracted to her, but now his mom thinks she a cheap floosey. Everyone knows if the mother hates you, you're toast! 

At the end of the mixer, Sean asked all the girls to take off their makeup in order to have some quick one on one time with him. Everyone except Khalene obliged, and she decided to go back to the house. The other girls were rewarded with a series of speed dates at the end of which Sean chose someone to have a one on one date with him - Phoenix. 

He and Phoenix had the most down to earth date thus far. Instead of taking her someplace fancy, or on a boat, he took her to an unfinished house and told her about his humble beginnings. She revealed to him that she has an 8 year old son and he revealed that there were times when he didn't have food, heat, or hot water. When she shared that she and her son had lived in a homeless shelter, he was moved to tears. They really connected and I think that experience makes her a top contender now. 

After his date with Phoeniz, he selected Khalena for another one on one, a surprising choice since she refused to take off her makeup. During their date, the Pastor gave the girls the choice to bite a forbidden apple and end their time together. Dolly and Alexandria decided to bite the apple because they felt like if she was serious about a date, she would have taken her makeup off. Very true. 

When Khalena got back, she was pissed off and Dolly took all the flack for biting the apple. She and Dolly tustled for a bit when Dolly told her why she ended the date - jeopardizing both of their spots on the show. Although they both were asked to meet by the pool during eliminations, she both ended up staying. It was brandy that went home. 

Next week, Sean has a secret from his past that will come back to haunt him! Based on the pair of foxy legs and heels that were previewed, I'm thinking something along the lines of Bridgette Nielson ala Flavor Flav! Stay tuned!
