A.D.

And I think conversations can happen in a way that don't disrespect your partner.

And I think if you can't say that in front of the person that you're engaged to, you probably shouldn't say it.

If you have to go hide away and like tuck away in a corner and say, she's not my type, you are, you probably shouldn't say it.

Yeah.

I like that.

Yeah.

OK, so our couples head back to Ohio and they're meeting each other's families.

We must talk about Alex meeting Ashley's dad.

Oh, my gosh.

Absolutely.

I feel like my brain is still like in a whirlwind from that conversation because what the hell was said?

Like everything was said and nothing at the same time.

What do y'all thought?

Like it just felt like he was saying just enough that he wouldn't get like ridiculed and kind of like riding the fence and making it seem like he was a bit more established than he actually is and like a bit more...

I wonder if that's how her dad... Did they ever mention that she's never brought anybody around?

Because I wonder if that's how he's talked to all of, like...

people that she's brought today i don't know i don't know that would be so yeah and maybe yeah i don't know i know like as as a dad i'm sure he's trying to be protective and all that stuff and but i was just like shot after shot yeah sometimes you have to give your parents the little wink like hey we're still on tv like yeah right yeah cut take two more old fashions over here

or maybe no more yeah we'll take some waters so let's go back to the mixer really quick we saw Alex say he knew Priyanka one of the girls from the pods before the show do you think this will become a problem for him and Ashley I thought that was interesting because I think he said like she was part of a friend group in Chicago or something like that yeah and then that was like all he said about it so I thought like

Yeah, and again, Alex is only going to ask, like, answer what's asked.

Like, he's not going to volunteer any extra information.
