"Both Peg and Cindy's children expressed concerns about Mel's commitment to their moms. When Cindy's daughter, Sarah, asked Mel if he could picture himself with Cindy in 20 years - whether it be horseback riding or climbing a mountain - he could only offer a neutral, "Potentially. You never know, because I'm still getting to know her.""
"But Debbie's family meeting, which included her siblings, went a little smoother. Mel assured Debbie's sister, Judy, that he was sincere. "Debbie is dear in my heart," he said. He also told the camera that he and Debbie had a "soulful" connection. "I feel good around her, I always have a smile, and I love her love for life. Debbie is a person I could see a life with after this.""
"After their date, when Debbie told Mel, "I don't want you to go," he cheekily replied, "I'm not going." Obviously, he did drive off a few moments later - as hometown dates always end - but the implication seemed to be that he wasn't figuratively leaving. But alas, at the hometowns rose ceremony, Mel elected to continue his journey with Peg and Cindy instead of Debbie. "My heart doesn't feel OK with it," Mel admitted to the camera, also telling Debbie that "you touched my heart in more ways than one.""
Mel visited the hometowns of his final three contestants — Debbie in Denver, Peg in Las Vegas, and Cindy in Austin. Peg and Cindy's children raised concerns about Mel's long-term commitment, and Mel gave a cautious response when Cindy's daughter asked if he could picture a future with her mother. Debbie's family meeting went smoothly, and Mel described Debbie as "dear in my heart" and said they had a "soulful" connection he could envision a life with. After their date Debbie expressed she did not want him to leave, yet Mel later continued with Peg and Cindy. Debbie says she would have liked to learn more about his childhood, thinking, relationships, and what happened with his ex-wife.
