Chantal O: (why have to use the initial of the last name when the names are pronounced differently?)
For lots of reasons, I think Chantal is best suited for this relationship. She is an admin assistant which I would think she could find employment in TX if she so chose to do so.
Her parent's house was way over the top! Made me think that she has probably not been overly impressed with the excess of the big dates & the travel - she's probably used to all that; but there was discussion that her dad was a self-made man; wonder if he made it before the kids were born? when they were small? has she always lived that way? wasn't there also some talk about construction or masonary?

Ashley: Up to now, I thought she was already a dentist; but she's still in school. After finishing school, she could go into practice anywhere I guess - it's not like she already has an office & patients established.
She seems immature to me. (& I laughed at the Poutine & how Brad said it looked delicious! LOL Now we know the man can lie with a straight face .

Shawntel: I was watching recorded so I FF thru all of the part in the embalming room; that was TMI for me. Showing him the other places & rooms was okay but I think she turned him completely off there. And? she should have had the conversation with her parents about possibly moving to TX long before Brad arrived. That was awkward & put Brad in the position of disappointing her father.

Emily: Why was she just reuniting with her daughter minutes before Brad arrived?
Shouldn't all the women have had time to be home & meet with families before the visits? They all seemed to have been seeing family for the first time with Brad -- odd to me.
Emily is the most mature; not sure if Brad is really ready for a ready made family. He handled the meet pretty good; didn't try to force himself on Ricky till she was ready. Kids that age are often shy about meeting new people - Emily seemed anxious about it; maybe that feeling transferred to Ricky a bit.
Can't see Emily wanting to leave NC.
