Alexia and Marysol are such assholes to Adriana. They poke at her and then when she pokes back, they gaslight her and act like she's the problem. Not that Adriana isn't without her own faults, but they are constantly looking for things to hate on her for. Todd and Alexia are definitely overcompensating - maybe for the cameras, maybe because there are marital issues. ?

Great to see Denise Richards, again! Sutton has Kyle's number, and Kyle knows it and doesn't like it. I think Kyle looks at Sutton as "weak", so she zeros in on her as the proverbial punching bag to deflect from what's really going on in her own life. Fortunately, Sutton is speaking up and pushing back. Kyle is not a victim. Like, good for her that she's stopped drinking and has made some lifestyle changes. But, also, she's having a midlife crisis and the closer these women (mostly Sutton, as of now) get to the truth about Kyle and her new young lover, the more Kyle is going to unravel.

It's interesting that we haven't seen Gerry tell Theresa that he loves her. He does say it in his voice over/talking head, but during the morning after their overnight, he made a point to emphasize that Theresa knows how he feels. Perhaps he is waiting for the big public display to be if/when he gives her the final rose…? His word-vomiting with Leslie almost seems insincere in comparison. In fairness, up until this point, it appears he was operating on surface level and lust with these women, which explains why he seemed to be so blown away by his conversation with Theresa where he's simply learning more about who she is. Her remembering that he sleeps on the right side of the bed because she once asked - and he didn't even remember that she did! - is such a small thing but I think significant in her commitment to this. And that she hasn't been with anyone since her husband, that's huge. For that, alone, I hope Gerry doesn't break her heart. (I know Theresa is aware of the risks, putting her heart on the line, but as an outsider looking in I think it'd feel pretty shitty that she finally lets herself be intimate with another man in that way, only for him to pick the other girl.) And Theresa definitely has her 💩 together! All this time, it seemed like the perception of Theresa is that she would fall all over herself for Gerry, but she's actually a pretty independent woman. She just knows what's important to her and prioritizes accordingly. It's too bad production was only a month, vs 2-3 months with the regular franchise. This season is rushed, and a little bit more time to learn about all of the women would've made this season even better. Perhaps they'll give future seasons of The Golden franchise more time to breathe.

Kiki is right that Alexia and Todd are using Adriana as a scapegoat for the reason why he didn't want to attend the party in his own home. I think one of the reasons, if not THE reason - unless there really is trouble in paradise for Alexia and Todd, is that Todd was embarrassed by his long-winded social media apology to Anthony and he didn't want to face him or potential comments from the peanut gallery. ETA: I love that Julia is learning to sing opera. Quite the challenge, but she's going for it anyway and I think that's great. And sweet the reasons she wants to surprise Martina. I LOL'd when they cut to a clip of Adriana playing piano. Russell, what a man! Him and Guerdy have a great partnership. And he is such a great foundation of support for her. Lisa probably should get a therapist, because even a seemingly nice guy like Jody can only take so much of hearing about Lenny.

Alright, since the episode is over… I think Gerry (and little Gerry) is physically attracted to Leslie, but may be more emotionally/intellectually attracted to Theresa. Something seemed to shift after each overnight. But I still think Leslie has the edge, unless meeting the daughters changes things. Surely producers and editing try to make things appear more even when it becomes obvious who the F1 will be, just to create a modicum of suspense.

Yeah… I mean I know the hosts say it all the time on the Bachelor/Bachelorette how any given season is the most dramatic finale ever! But 9 times out of 10, it's a load of bull. And I don't see how this season is going to be anything shocking, not with Gerry literally saying all of these things to and about Leslie. So if by most dramatic Jesse means that Theresa (the pawn) is going to get her heart stomped on because Gerry had basically already made his choice before they even got to Costa Rica, then, yeah…that's dramatic...for Theresa!

This show can be so damn annoying. They actually don't have to keep him around if they don't want to. They can just say he got less votes, there is no way for any of us to really know. There's not much "reality" in reality tv. Production wants to keep him around for the youth, I guess. It's certainly not for entertainment.

Larsa is the worst! This is not her news to share, and Guerdy specifically asked her to not tell anyone. At least both Marysol and Lisa had an appropriate response to the news, and by that I mean they weren't stone cold like Larsa. Guerdy was obviously going to share with the rest of the ladies in her own time, it's so gross of Larsa to take it upon herself and basically gossip about it.

Ellen's segment and talking about Roberta (RIP) broke my heart. The show is likely going to pick Faith for Golden Bachelorette - if there is one - but I really hope it's Ellen. My second choice would be Susan because she's just so much fun. And, really, I want all of them to find love - and I want to see it! lol - so there isn't a bad choice in the bunch. But, yeah, it's Ellen and Susan for me.

And he just might! When does his family meet the final 2? It's usually the same episode as overnights, right? If so, I'm curious what his daughters opinions will be on Theresa and Leslie, who are vastly different, and if their assessments will change Gerry's mind.. Because, right now, all signs point to Leslie. Like it's too obvious. But maybe that's just how the story goes.

So, Leslie is F1 then? This man told Faith I love you to in front of her family. He came up with some word salad to avoid answering if he is in love with Theresa. I'm convinced he kept Theresa to make the next week/s easier for him and more settled in his F1 decision. She's a pawn in Gerry's journey. Keeping Faith ran the risk of him having to make a more difficult choice. Faith can do better, no doubt about it. And I feel sorry for Theresa, because he is going to crush her. Loved seeing all of the other ladies back. I just want a show with them hanging out and dating/finding love. It's really sweet that they've formed some real friendships out of this experience.

Nicole getting the "besties" together (herself, Guerdy, Adriana, Julia), and then how that group rallied around Guerdy after she shared her news, was a beautiful display of support and friendship. Larsa was pretty aggressive toward Guerdy at the end. I know she doesn't know what's going on, so it's fair that she is frustrated and confused by Guerdy's behavior, but the people at the gay brunch suggested that Larsa give Guerdy some grace because it is clear she's going through something - a bit of advice that Larsa obviously didn't take.

Harry can not make it another week. He just can't. That's one of the biggest flaws about this show, how the obviously dancing-challenged make it so far while better dancers get eliminated before them. They need to figure out the voting system. Maybe one a piece. Maybe allow the west coast to vote. Maybe bring back judges saves. Something. I don't know who Lele is and what it is that makes her a "star", but she's far and away better than Harry (don't know his claim to fame, either). Alyson had a great night and I'm very much enjoying watching how much she's improving week-to-week. So happy she was safe tonight.

Hanover! I'm so glad Alex didn't get duped by that douche. And Chip as the whistleblower. 😅 I'm looking forward to season 4…which, because of the strike(s), likely won't be until 2025 at the earliest.

Real RHONY is back! And it looks like a chaotic shit show. As it should be. 😅

Happy Birthday!!! 🥳

All over again? I'm on the hunt, now! 😂 It's hard to find a decent man out there. Gerry saying ILY in front of Faith's family is huge. And if he doesn't pick her, it will come off so so bad. I'm sure he was swept up in the moment, but he didn't have to say it right then and there. If it's not Faith, then his F1 has got to be Leslie and he's just taking Theresa for a ride because making the F1 choice will be easier. Like, he doesn't want to have another breakdown next week if right now he's feeling so high on Leslie. Having said that… have you all seen the preview for the season that aired after the first episode? I'm posting it below. At the 1:38 mark, it's Gerry and a woman in a white dress literally walking off into the sunset. To me, it appears to be at the F1 proposal sight. This is just a guess, but the silhouette of the woman - the build of her body, the shoulders, her height - looks the most like Faith to me. I guess we'll see, but when I went back and watched it looking for clues, this stood out to me.

This! Because clearly whoever he gives the rose to is the literal second choice in every way. How do you go into the next week/overnights even thinking you have a shot after that? He's crying because he doesn't want to hurt either of their feelings, which is nice and all, but he's making his F1 choice very obvious. If I were Faith and Theresa, I'd be a little pissed as well as heartbroken, and then start to detach. Enjoy the free vacation that comes with being the final 2.

I feel for Theresa. And, unpopular opinion, I don't dislike her like most do. And I think out of the three remaining, she'd be the best fit for Gerry. Of course, that doesn't matter if he doesn't reciprocate her feelings - which it appears that he doesn't. And that makes me wonder why his theatrics at the rose ceremony? He told both Faith and Leslie that he loves them, there's your final two! How can he possibly be conflicted when he couldn't say he loved Theresa? Here's my view on Theresa: I think she's awkward because she hasn't dated in like 50 years. I don't think Theresa has the experience the other two have (and which one of them has been married and divorced multiple times?). Plus they're younger and come off as the more confident "cool girls", and I think Theresa comes on strong because she doesn't have game. But I do think she means well. I like Faith but I think she can do better than Gerry. I can see her being cast as The Golden Bachelorette if she doesn't get picked. I also think the 12 year age difference between her and Gerry would eventually get in the way of her thriving lifestyle. I never really warmed up to Leslie. Maybe it's the "dancer who danced with and supposedly dated Prince" thing that screamed WRONG REASONS, or her wanting him to coddle her insecurities. ETA: I am SO HAPPY that there's a Women Tell All! All my faves are the ones who got sent home. lol

It was brief and amongst chaos, but I liked when Nicole pulled Guerdy aside to ask if she was okay because she could sense something wrong by the look on her face. It was of genuine concern. Good to see Martina. Wishing continued healing and good health for both her and Guerdy. I'm not a Larsa fan, but I understood her confusion when Guerdy switched up on her and told her "I'm going to need you". I think that was Guerdy's way to squash the beef with Larsa because she knows there is a more important battle ahead of her. We know, but the girls don't, so it's an interesting perspective to have watching it all unfold.

Kyle is so painfully awkward. And she has clearly fallen out of love with Mauricio, she can barely tolerate him. I choose Mo in the divorce. lol

I hope so! I keep hoping that she is well aware of who he is and that she's playing the long game and going to one-up him in the end and it will be the ultimate surprise/fake-out. If not? She's coming off as really dumb.

Well, Ramona has been pulled from BravoCon. Hope the Twitterati that were hammering in on her are happy. I'm not saying making a racial slur is okay, it most definitely is not. But, again, this was old news and only came back up now to add weight for Bethenny's crusade and this article/exposé. Unless my knowledge of this particular situation is totally wrong, and I admit I haven't dug deeper than the surface because - again - we've been here already. But isn't it possible that since Ramona made the comment, that she's learned from her mistake? I know she lives in her little bubble and chooses to remain naive to anything outside of it; but once this first came to light, isn't it possible that, at least on the subject of race, she's become apologetic and more aware? Guess we'll never know.

The allegations against Ramona and her supposed racist comments was already addressed a year or two ago. This is not new news. And I believe the network did an investigation. This article is very much giving the vibe that Leah and Eboni are bitter that their RHONY takeover from the "old" gals didn't pan out. They were barely on the show (2 seasons and 1 season, at that). And it's funny because a lot of people blame their incompatible energy as one of the reasons why RHONY got completely rebooted (and I am one of those people! lol). Bravo was never, could never, fire RHONYs first black cast member without some serious blowback, even though Eboni just wasn't a good fit. She wasn't, and that's the truth, and that's okay. In a way it's actually a compliment to her because she is too refined for a chaotic and messy show like Housewives. Now, Leah…cry me a river. She made her choices. She knew exactly what show she signed up for, she did everything she possibly could to be popular and bite off a piece of the Housewives fame. It's just unfortunate for her that she's not very likable. YMMV. So much so, that her young New York City girl self wasn't even asked to be part of the reboot with the younger cast. And as if watching her on RHONY didn't make it clear enough, Leah on season 3 of RHUGT highlighted how much she likes to play the victim. I see her participation with this article as no different. I do think both Eboni and Leah may have burned their bridges with Bravo with their involvement with this article, so if there is a silver lining it'd be that. As for the rest? This article was not as damning as I thought it would be. I guess we'll see what blowback there is, if any. But BravoCon is still taking place this weekend and a whole lot of Bravolebrities are participating. Just my opinion, of course.
