Wow, totally different person. I may be in the minority, but I think she's so much cuter before. Softer, more feminine. All the work has given her an unflattering harshness, IMHO.

Did Chock say that he had already rented a NYC apartment? Before Joan made her final choice? Or was he saying that was a plan of his? Either way: Dictionary: Presumptious. See: Chock.

Bronwyn's husband Todd is one ugly sourpuss of a man. Curmudgeonly. Tom Girardi indeed. Bronwyn is not a U.S. citizen yet. I wonder if that's one of the reasons she stays with him. That, and his ability to swipe his black Amex for a $4 million necklace. He speaks to her like a shamed child, and she dutifully obeys. Uncomfortable to watch.

I know women in this age range with the long hair, the extensions. I have a friend whose own hair is so thin and brittle that she really needs them. What she doesn't need is how long they are, almost comical. With Joan, it's all too much: Too much hair. Too much bleach. Too much Botox. Too much revealing clothes. Too much makeup.

The whole house needs a renovation. It’s literally the exact same decor since Trista was on Season 1.

Being a woman in Joan's age range (I'm 62), I can attest to how hard it is to find friends at this stage in life. As a woman, we can join women's groups, playing Bunco, knitting, lunch groups etc. But for men, it's so much more difficult. If they don't golf, hunt, fish....what is there? When women sit and play games together, they talk and share and get to know one another. When men get together to play golf, they are competitive and rarely talk about much other than the game. Men will often return home to their wives, and the wife will ask the man how the golf partner is doing in his personal life, and the man will have no idea, lol. So for these men to have found a compatible group, snoring and all lol, is so lovely. I do hope they find lifelong friends. My dad found such a group, in quite a bad way at first, but which ended up to be lifelong friends. After a quadruple bypass, he was put into a cardio rehab program, which required 3-4 x/week early morning workouts with a physical therapist, with a group who were all going through similar cardio issues. The group became very tight knit, and the night my father passed, they were the first people I called.

Am I the only one who thinks Garrett's glow-up is way too much? Comical, even. The center-part hair, open shirt/chest hair, loud printed jacket, gold necklace, 80's Tom Jones booties....and now he's modeling? To me, his charm was that he was just this real guy. This real, slightly nerdy guy who had this cuteness to him and just wanted to find real love. Now he got all glowed up. Me no likey.

Mail fraud, tax fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud. John Vassos was awaiting sentencing when he passed away. Here's a link to the case, Aug. 2019: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/government-contractor-pleads-guilty-acting-pass-through-minority-business-enterprise From the case: "According to the statement of offense, Forney and James Redding owned Stadium Club, an establishment in Southeast Washington. In May 2010, Vassos provided approximately $2 million to Forney and Redding to finance the purchase of the property where Stadium Club was built. Additionally, from 2011 until 2014, Vassos loaned hundreds of thousands of dollars to Forney and Redding. Vassos pled guilty in June 2017 to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, one count of tax fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He is awaiting sentencing. In May 2015, Redding pled guilty to Tax Evasion and Failure to Pay over Payroll Taxes. He was sentenced to 24 months in prison." Ain't the internet great?? 😉

Was Ryan given immunity in exchange for giving enough information on his “best friend” to put him away for 18 years while Ryan walks free?

Joan talks constantly about John's love of life, his adventurous spirit, his spontaneity, always doing fun things. She does realize that the internet exists and we can read that he was funding much of this lifestyle with ill-gotten gains?

I think the whole concept of selling high-end homes in L.A. is simply over. Hence the moves of the agents to Orange County, Nevada, and Texas. Other than Josh Flagg selling the historical Beverly Hills homes, L.A. is done. Selling Sunset is also moving away from the "Sunset Blvd" focus as much too, as their business has shifted to other locations as well.

My friend is 69 years old and works out daily with a trainer. From far away, she looks like a 25 year-old. Up close, saggy arms and crepey skin. Can't fight mother nature. Tamra is just an a-hole who revels in schadenfreude: pleasure in others' misfortunes.

I, too, love the friendships the men have formed. One of the secrets about adulthood is how hard it is to find true friends. Women form friendships easier than men because women talk to each other about life issues, whereas men tend to focus their conversations on surface-level topics. This venue has provided the men with the all-clear to discuss deeper issues, vent to each other, and literally cry in front of one another. I do hope we see a "Men of Golden Bachelorette Reunion" trip!

Because then we'd all be calling him "Daddy J". 😅

Funny, I must have missed "funner", but he lost me this week when he said "Alls". I don't find him attractive either. He looks 20 years older than his age.
