Back Atcha

I think he wants a woman who will take care of herself but make it look like he's the one taking care of her. And then there's me. I agree with Irlandesa. Gerry wants a woman who will look at him ADORINGLY at all times, remain slim for the rest of his life, take care of him in every way ... but allow him to look like THE MAN who is taking care of his woman.

I don't think the problem with Theresa's lipstick was that it was RED. It was that it was a smeared slash across her mouth...almost every time.

Join the club...a HUGE disorganized group.

I think this way about "the winner," Theresa. She was a bit of a silly little romantic on the show...almost a dingbat reporting to everyone about their CONNECTION. Then, on various post-show interviews, even her voice was lower. She was no longer a silly woman, but an intelligent professional who did very well in interviews...but still looked "adoringly" at Gerry every time he spoke (what a smarty!).

I missed those photos, I guess.

It was more of the Original Tiny Theresa who had to oooh-and-aaah over every encounter with him--real, hoped for, or imagined...bragging to others incessantly about their "connection." She irritated MORE than just ZIP-IT Kathy. If this is Theresa in Real Life, Gerry needs to make sure he doesn't share information he doesn't want BLASTED everywhere!

How does it not "make sense"? Does that mean he didn't make "comments" about his wife's weight? His daughters'? To them or about them? I was 118 when I got married; after two kids and a hysterectomy, I weighed 130 at 5'5". I heard about my weight way too often from my 6'0" 140 "hunk." If he prefers larger women, surely he had the opportunity to give that information to Production. I think his preference was obvious...

What's lip-mimicking called? He seemed to do it more when others' memorization of a script was involved. Of course, WE didn't know it was a script.

I noticed on the CMA Awards when he was a "presenter," that he mouthed the words of one of the people who was making the presentation. ODD habit. I've seen it in elementary school plays/concerts. Some smart kids learn everyone's lines, but they can't stop their mouths from moving.

And a *fat-shamer. Teeny, tiny Theresa should be just perfect for him. I think they'll both be caught up in all the shenanigans...I mean wedding planning and won't have enough time to decide if they're REALLY compatible--until after the Fabulous Honeymoon in ITALY!!! *It was interesting to read the weight comments about his former girlfriend and THEN see his daughters and granddaughters.

It was like that in Arizona when we moved to San Jose CA in 1964. I was surprised that they were treated equally there. It took a few years for Arizona to catch up, but it was at least in the 70s.

Just saw the clips here--not the entire interview (which I'll find...especially for her lipstick comment). Her voice is completely different--so normal and in charge. Not like the little gaga simp who DID annoy the other women AND much of the audience with her continued bragging about every encounter with Gerry and his every encouraging word. I think Theresa was all action and very little talk. THAT is what made his decision.

If he IS a maintenance man (and I don't know that), perhaps the producers of the show didn't share that opinion. And take down that sincerity-puss and overly concerned look on your face. It's not life or death and definitely not YOUR life!

My father-in-law sold the family home almost immediately after his wife of 35yrs died in a terrible car accident; he couldn't bear to be in the home they shared. Six months later he was MARRIED to a woman he met in the apartment complex where he moved "temporarily."

I thought it was when he found out her bank balance Good call, Call Me Ishmael!! Theresa is smart with money. I'm sure she will insist on a prenup. On "90-Day Fiance," we call that a Pre-Nump ... and the person requested to sign DID NOT SIGN! Theresa may be smart with money, but she's so clingy, ga-ga, overly demonstrative, and so creepily in luuuuuuuvvvv...I don't know if her brain has yet activated in this romance.

The show provides all those gowns...and networks/producers are rarely allowed to be "fiscally irresponsible." No matter the MSRP, movies and TV shows never pay full price...whether it's six or sixty.

To be fair to the rest of us, Dolly has specially constructed gloves that she wears for all public appearances. They smooth her skin and may be like lightweight Spanx (her fingertips are "bare" so she can play the guitar...and maybe other necessities). I think she wore a fabulous/custom body suit, "Spanx-like," to make her 77yr old body look as good as possible. STILL, she did look fabulous.

I haven't had the feeling that Olivia thinks "all religion is bad." Perhaps she's just not interested in "religion" at this time--or maybe she is. I hope there's a way for Olivia to go to college full-time--devote her life to that for awhile. For someone who's intellegent, but whose formal education was so limited, it could be a life-changing experience. Maybe there's a benefactor who would fund her for four-plus years so she could "give back" in some way.

Another solution, though probably impossible, is to help Ethan open his mind. He knows what he knows...which is so little! I thought the various trips/experiences opened his mind to other places and ideas...California, Europe? I guess not. I doubt if Olivia still considers everything (religiously) is black/white wrong/right. Ethan has not learned to listen and think critically. Or just listen! His mind is closed; I don't see him evolving at all. I'm in my 80s and have seen many of those close-minded people (mostly men) lose everything...wife/kids because of hard-headedness (even cruelty) and "my way or the highway." Some years later they meet some sweet young or not-so-young thing who gets the benefit of the men's loneliness--and actually considering maybe there's a better way.

SUNNY HOSTIN proclaimed osteopaths aren't as good as MD's ??? Was there no backlash? Was she not required to give a legal note of apology? I don't know about New York laws, but for DECADES MD's and Osteopaths (DO's) worked in the same hospitals, clinics, offices together in California. Arizona was several years behind, but that's the case here in my state. Is Sunny getting gossip from her MD husband? Inquiring mind (mine) wants to know.

Improved her style and her ATTITUDE..both of which she claimed were "just me," and she wasn't going to change. Apparently enough complaints...or complaints from some who mattered (to her livelihood) have caused a welcome change. Have we heard her converstation-stopping, "Here's the thing," lately? Could it be that some members of the audience attend regularly if they live in the NYC area? They sometimes tape two shows in one day...and her continuing comments are getting BORING. Why are the ladies at the table required to laugh?

"Barry has worked a lot over the last few decades. According to Distractify, he is a transportation planner with a private firm. The Welcome to Plathville star has held the same job for over 25 years and has poured his life into providing for his family. Barry has also worked at his 55-acre farm, where he raised his kids away from the modern toxic culture and technology." I've always wondered how FAR Barry worked from home, but couldn't find that info on the 'net.

He may have said it was too small; he did say it was not in a good area. He knew his father had negative feelings about California in general. I like the idea that he (Production) let Barry see the nicer side of L.A. Love the "schmooping." If Romeo's personality matches his "mush mouth," Kim will be in heaven...pushing him around and sucking the life and whatever money he might have out of him. Why aren't we talking about Kim's fabulous new transformation? A woman in love...schmooping around in too-tight tops and SHORTS. She obviously considers herself SELF-IMPROVED!

AND, Kim...many of us believe you had honed in (perhaps more) on that "someone" who makes you SO HAPPY before you "suddenly" decided to set out on your (hahahaha) own. Hopefully your childbearing days are behind you. The world is grateful. We need fewer illiterate judgmental semi-homeschooled humans. (There are many successful, talented, balanced, well-educated homeschooled people; they're just not in Plathville and educated by a Kim, a "naturopathic doctor" without a college degree.)

Jasmine cannot do that! She's a needy jealous person who has learned that MAKING A SCENE will always work in her favor. She finally found a loser who will do anything to keep her. He might get irritated occasionally, but he'll always go crawling back to her insecure screaming bitchfest self. They'll both be miserable for as long as they can stay together.
