Last Tuesday night Tim Warmels‘ two final ladies Trisha Vergo and April Brockman finally got to meet his parents Marg and Peter and the meetings could not have been more different. Tim’s dad was easy-going, friendly, gregarious and affable. Tim’s mom was a bit of a different story. It’s not that she was mean—it’s more that she was really really professional and took this meeting soooo seriously–as if her son was really gonna marry one of these ladies!
In fact she even wrote down a list of questions and claimed she was treating this like a job interview!
Anyway, poor April flailed the ‘Meet the Parents’ part of the competition badly.
She set the tone for the awkward meeting by extending a hand for a handshake in lieu of a hug to her future soon-to-be in laws!!!
And then to make things worse father Peter and mother Margaret ask her to tell them “something about herself and why she has taken an interest in Tim” and she had no answer! To be fair, the pressure was epic, but I would have thought she would have predicted the “what do you like about our son?” question for this category and had an answer prepared and rehearsed!
Then father tries one more time with a simpler question, “What do you find attractive about Tim?” Awkward uncomfortable silence ensues….
Tim tries to break the tension by pouring glasses of wine, but damage has been done.
“Meeting Tim’s parents is a pretty big deal. I’m not sure that I am making the impression that I want to make”.
Yeah I’ll say April! Then Marg takes April outside for her official job interview. And my favorite line comes from Tim:
“This style of getting to know someone is not conducive to her personality at all”!! ha ha ha! Whose personality is this “style of getting to know someone” “conducive” to?
Cut to the next day for the epic cliffhanger!
April claims in her ITM:
“Things were good and I just I feel pressure and that makes me want to pull away.”
Tim says “somebody says Aprils not doing Ok and needs to talk to you”. He high tails it to her disheveled hotel room and cradles her in his arms. Tim proclaims via ITM: “we’re so close and we’ve come so far there isn’t any time to lose ground… I need to see her. I need to find out what’s wrong. I can tell that something’s not sitting well”.
April claims that she can’t “collect her thoughts” and that she is “feeling overwhelmed and unclear. Everything’s happening so quickly.”….. “I could be giving up on love. I want to go home.” And scene!
