Maybe before the show Gerry was thinking all about romantic dinners, Pickleball, and flattery. And the women by and large seemed amenable to all the above. Leslie, though, has broken through the "companion" need of Gerry With The Late Wife to his realization that he can also experience a sexual relationship with a new mature woman. That is to say, I can believe he feels love for Theresa and Faith, in the sense of caring for them and their emotions. But IMO Gerry feels love and desire only for Leslie.

Back Atcha, That "Iron Pyrite" was a quote from me, not kristen 111. 😇

If anyone is old enough to know this Reality Show's deal, it's this motley crew. Code words, and not exactly Navajo. "I can't live without you" = "The show told me to say something excessive." "I think I'm falling in love with you" = "You're getting a rose. Don't read too much into it." "I love three women" = "And a couple of their sisters aren't bad." "I might just marry your Grandma" = "Keep grilling me, kid, and you're out of the will." Heartbreak? Nah. Devastation? Over Gerry (Indiana!)? Nope. Will rejection sting? Of course; I'm delighted when my credit card purchase says "Approved." But a little time back in the OG Reality Show (aka, real life), another shake of the hair, and these women will be just fine and dandy. And you know what they'll say? "Indiana?!"

🎶 💡 🎶 Gerry (Indiana!), Gerry (Indiana!), Gerry (Indiana!) Gerry (Indiana)! An unusual name! Looking for a wife (and some Reality fame)! Gerry (Indiana!) with three women in play, Gets along well on every Family Day! Gerry (Indiana!), Gerry (Indiana!), Gerry (Indiana!) As he breaks down once again Gerry (Indiana!), Gerry (Indiana!), Gerry (Indiana!) Will he leave for love? We'll see!

I liked all the families, but especially the kids! 🤗 Leslie is the one Gerry stands against the stone wall---a not so subtle expression of physical desire, IMO. 😉 Leslie is the one Gerry used the "A wise man once told me..." line before telling her "I love you"---twice, once more with feeling---as he leaned in to kiss her multiple times, happily, no coaxing needed. If this were not being filmed,....💋💖🔥🎆 Leslie received the first rose tonight, no hesitation, no angst. 🌹 I no longer think Gerry will choose Faith**, and I'd be shocked if he picks Theresa. 😲 Leslie FTW. **But do I think he'll bed Faith anyway, plus Leslie? Gerry might be a mensch, but as a wise man once said, "Don't miss the opportunity...." 😄😄😄

But the bride sent Michael the crown and sword; they were her ideas! He was simply showing respect to her! As for Orion and Lauren: How does being proud of one's own culture translate to being thrilled to learn about someone else's?

I had an epiphany in watching this episode, and I'm not proud of it. But confession is good for the soul, so.... I don't like viewing geezers like me getting all smoochy-smoochy! Bleagh!

Thank you for mentioning Gerry’s voice! It's starting to irritate me! And that block the women have all been around? It's Gerry’s, too. So he can drop the wide-eyed wonderment. 😉

There's no denying Gerry has aged well. As for monikers, whattayagonna do? Some just are shorthand connotations! Karen. Barbie. Jezebel. Ken. A John might not want to be a "John" or a john! Oh Mary, don't ask! I haven't read any Spoilers. But I'd be very surprised, if only for the sake of this network experiment in demographics, if Gerry exited alone. Can't have the Golden Bachelor be Iron Pyrite! Three brunettes for the Hometown Visits. Who'da thunk?! 😉 If I had to guess, I'd say F1 is Faith.

Well, my husband was 73 when he passed away, with all his brown hair and trim physique that would put Gerry to shame! But really; could anyone beat Paul Newman? J/S!

If Gerry chooses none: "While I naturally am very disappointed in how this journey ended, I am extremely grateful to all these wonderful women for sharing their lives and hearts with me. They have shown me that it is possible to find true love more than once in a lifetime, and I will carry that with me as we all move forward."

Susan is way too wrinkled and masculine to last. Kathy proved that men don't like a woman who badmouths another. Plus she has a natural down-turned mouth, not attractive. The blonde who knew her Pickleball is way too old-looking for Gerry, like Ruth Gordon old. Sandra got a rose, and Gerry explained that it was for her giving up her daughter's wedding, but he doesn't really mean more than that. He can't, if he believes that family is everything. Theresa received the final rose as a warning. Gerry sees the disingenuousness, thanks to Kathy. Call me a stone-cold beeyotch, but if Garry cries about his wife one more time....🙄

We did see Party Girl Emily try on dresses, at about the 1-hour mark. Her sister and others accompanied her. We also saw Brennan get his tux. Together this part was 8 minutes. This entire episode was 3 hours, 6 minutes. But! After the initial 8:00--11:06 p.m. EST showing, the program was weirdly separated into a 1-hour episode followed by a 2-hour, 6-minute episode. So for some reason it seems your cable recorded only that 1-hour show. 😕 Denver = Oxygen deprivation. 😁

Michael has zero self-awareness. The "experts" destroyed what little credibility they had with this choice. Girth or no girth. Orion isn't much better. In any case, his bride should have been paired with a Black King, and no, the "experts'" disclaimer that Denver isn't "diverse" doesn't cut it. Party Blonde Bride is definitely not ready for a Never-Divorce Groom. (His lack of socks with a tux was a really bad look.) Which brings me to the Bachelor and Bachelorette parties. Repulsively vulgar.

If Gerry and Liam Neeson had a son....

To me, "sophisticated" is pretty much the polar opposite of "rude and uncouth." Not to mention broke. So are "sophisticated " and "savvy" HERE just another way of saying "been around the block a lot"?

Wait, what? This season is from 2018??

Theresa knows what she's doing.

Hey Kathy! Zip it!

Gerry + Scruff = 🫤

To paraphrase then-candidate Reagan about Mondale: I will not make age an issue in my viewing. I wouldn't exploit, for romantic purposes, the Golden Bachelor's youth and inexperience. I'm 74 soon. 😉

I'm not sure I wanted to read HERE about "Sugar Daddy Gerry." HINT, HINT.

Stanley has a stunning line of Greenpan non-stick cookware at Williams-Sonoma. If I didn't have too many LC pots already..... 🥰 https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/greenpan-tucci-ha-11-piece-cookware-set/?pkey=ccookware-sets

Blonde also camouflages bare scalp, whereas said scalp is stark on a balding brunette. Don't ask me how I know. 😊

Yes, Tasmania has its challenges, but these competitors should try coping with bears and wolves!
