After the elimination of more than 20 possible matches for the nominal Bachelor, the competition has now reached its final three. Who will be denied the rose this time around? And what will be the outcome as we see the conclusions of the remaining contestants time with Juan Pablo?

This week's episode had each of the four remaining bachelorettes introducing the 32 year old bachelor to their hometowns and families. Not all of the family run-ins go smoothly however, and this could be the make or break factor in their relationships.

Nikki Ferrell, a Missouri native, took Pablo to her hometown of Kansas City to explore the city and visit her parents' home. The visit went very well and there was no friction between them and her possible partner.

Next was Andi Dorfman, who took Pablo on a date at a shooting range before introducing him to her parents, an interaction that ended with a direct confrontation between Pablo and the bachelorettes father. Dorfman's father just cannot seem to embrace the concept that Andi's choice of a potential son-in -law is what's right for her.

In Sarasota, Renee Oteri introduces Juan Pablo to her own son, begging the question of whether he is ready to be the father of eight-year-old Ken.

The meet-up with Clare Crawley's parents in Sacramento ends with a complete dead-end in terms of her families blessing to Juan Pablo. Neither her mother nor sisters turn out to have any interest in endorsing him as a suitable mate for Clare.

In the elimination in Miami, Florida, Pablo will hand out Roses to the potential suitors. Reality T.V. expert and The Bachelor maven Reality Steve, has reported that, in fact, Renee Oteri, mother of Ben, will be the contestant that doesn't receive the rose this week. This leaves just Nicki Ferrell, Andi Dorfman, and Clare Crawley as the remaining three.

Here is a preview for this and the ensuing episode of the 18^th Season:
