She definitely wanted to end up with someone with money. Her final three——a doctor on Lake Tahoe, a very successful and flashy salon owner and whatever kind of millionaire Chock is supposed to be. Plus yes, her “heroic” dead husband who was going to go on trial for financial crimes.

Yes, we get it, Joan misses John and feels guilty.. She’s the wrong person to be the lead on a show purportedly about finding love again. Also I reflexively keep feeling like I need to twist her jaw into place. I liked Jordan the most but he wasn’t so into her. And Pascal does not need this show to find women.

This is what I hope for on Pascal’s hometown date…fix up her rotten looking hair! Mark is very handsome but I agree, he cannot sustain being the lead of a show if he is going to be so taciturn. I thought it might have just been the editing, until she sent him home. But I am also a lifelong New Yorker, first in Manhattan and now in Brooklyn, so that slow, slow pace does not work for me either! I’ll go with Jordan as the one I prefer, but I think she will pick Chock Full O’ Nuts.

I know new era is supposed to show how hardcore the show is now, but I miss Ponderosa. I enjoyed all the gasping at themselves in the mirror, them exclaiming over how many pounds they’d lost, their ecstasy at the food and bed and shower. Everyone there was out of the game except for those who’d be on the jury, and I also liked when they discussed why they’d made certain moves, etc. But we can’t have nice things anymore.

Agree and it was for a good cause, except that in Jonathan’s case he appeared to be auditioning for Golden Chippendales!

Ah yes I see it now. She does look 20 years older here, but still attractive, and I deeply prefer her natural aging to Joan’s distorted face and ridiculous hair extensions.

Double yikes! Shes 60 or 61 and beautiful. I vote for Heidi as the next Golden Bachelorette! https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Legislator/A/senate/current/15

Yikes! And he seemed like a good guy, besides being a doctor he was so kind to Charles and to Kim.

That synchronized swimming bit was great! It seems like these guys have been healing each other’s emotional wounds. The camaraderie feels more authentic than anything they have with Joan. ETA: I really, really, really wanted to hear Gary discussing how Tina Turner came to be his godmother! Maybe he’ll talk about it now that he’s off the show?

I’m rooting for Sol or Kyle. That’s it. Don’t like anyone else at this point.

Rome is intolerable and that aggressive behavior towards Sol should be prohibited. Of course Rome planted himself by the puzzle, could not do one piece, and ignored Sol’s suggestion that they switch. I was so hoping it was Rome's time to leave, but I’m mainly relieved that Sol lives to play another day. From what I saw it appeared that Sol is the main reason they did well at the challenge. Even Jeff was gushing over his needing just two turns to throw the two sandbags. I’m not going to miss Kishan at all, though.

If I recall correctly it was right before he went in for a kiss…not sure about that, but definitely he said “this is funner.” I missed him saying “alls.”

Interesting! I’m not on any social media so I’m completely unaware of what’s being said. To my mind, the court of public opinion is not a court of law, with death ending the case. If you agree to appear on a TV show where you consistently idealize your late husband, then it’s inevitable that any dirty laundry may be exposed.

Why why why would Joan agree to be the GB when she knows her “perfect” husband’s crime had a good chance of being uncovered, since she’s in the spotlight?

Here’s April's story for anyone interested. She wrote a book called “Big Girls Do Cry.” Of course we only have her side of the story. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2659084/Frankie-Vallis-lover-lifts-lid-20-year-affair-reveals-cruel-controlling-uncaring-bed.html
