There is no joy in Denver; the Mighty Casey "Experts" have struck out.

I can't really read anything now.

Where might one see this wedding playlist?

One wonders if anything is discussed! Or at least considered seriously by the Triumvirate! Dog-dislikers paired with dog-owners. Physical preferences ignored totally. Brides expected to live in buses and basements. Financial security needs married to jobless. Etc.

Add me to the list of lucky visitors to the Italian (and French and Monagasque) Riviera! In fact, I'm sitting in my Family Room under a framed poster of Portofino, next to one of our photos of the Cinque Terre. Good times!

https://hollywoodontheitalianriviera.com/category/santa-margherita/ In a real sense, you had so stepped!

I have watched every episode, read every post in these threads. Yet for the life of me, I still cannot bring readily to my mind's eye either Emily and Brennan, or *re-reads above posts to get the right paired names* Becca and Austin, such is how much the wives and husbands, respectively, look alike to me. 🤪

Elizzikra, Clare shaded Cameron about his work, asking if he wasn't "bored." He clearly wasn't; she was just being a jerk implying she was bored by his job, even as he tried to involve her. (Meanwhile, she had scorned Cameron for not being in therapy, her job.) And I am similar in preparing for a gathering, the way you describe. What Clare did, IIRC, was to dry out the food because she cooked it too early. These two are completely incompatible.

For one thing, messing up the food because she had to be "prepared." But mostly for being very condescending to Cameron and all that he's about.

Clare is an idiot. Emily's lfriends, Pink especially, are loathsome.

Is there a Live Chat?

If, as many suggest, Gerry is indeed primarily out for "companionship" and "being taken care of," why speculate on an imaginary illness for Theresa and then wonder if he'd leave her? We can just as readily wonder if she would leave him were that scenario reversed. But why go down that rabbit hole? As for Gerry's saying he wasn't a handyman "for the money": Doesn't the vernacular mean "I'm not doing it to get rich," rather than the literal "I'm working for free"? Like, "I wasn't a teacher for the money" kind of statement. 🤷‍♀️

Re gray hair: I loved my Salt and Pepper and got compliments. But now I have less of it, alas and alack. So these days I neither cut nor color, but camouflage with a faux fall from Toni Bratton! I'll be watching the 2024 merger...I mean, marriage of G&T, those crazy kidz, as they begin the New Year with a ban...k account discussion! 😉

Yes. But my larger implication was that Gerry might have felt the same as Elizabeth did, to counter the "too soon after Toni's death" criticisms. Of course, it's equally possible that both parties did seek new companionship too soon! [Disclaimer: I have always lived by a "WWETD?" philosophy, heh. 😉]

Back in the day, when Elizabeth Taylor had tallied only 3 marriages..... After #3 Mike Todd perished in his "Lucky Liz" plane crash, some people were aghast that not only did Elizabeth take up with the married Eddie Fisher, but did so "so soon" post-widowhood. Her riposte? "What do you expect me to do? Sleep alone?"

Link to above parental interview: https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/9764540/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-dad-wishes-son-picked-leslie-fhima/ I see Gerry comes by his untoward loquaciousness honestly....🤪 🤫

Three out of the 4 husbands decided to go home for a while and not co-habit with their brides. AKA, those 3 husbands will ask for a divorce. Cameron and those spiders? I don't think I've ever seen an MAFS dwelling near as creepy. I'd be "Sayonara!" permanently!

"....allow him to look like THE MAN who is taking care of his woman," like innumerable other wives since Time Immemorial! 😉 Saying "I love you" to multiple women supports my point: Gerry did NOT say "I'm in love with you." 😘 As for what he supposedly told Leslie in private, why believe her? We don't know her. Besides, in that latest interview, she phrased it as, "He kind of said," and similar weasel words on her part. 🤔

ABC is dangling "The Golden Bachelorette," I think, in exchange for more (alleged) revelations about what Gerry said, how he said it, or whether he said it. One phrase Leslie does not claim Gerry uttered is "I'm in love with you." And that is probably what he said to Theresa.

They do. That's to prevent any last second changes by the judges, which was a "to do" several years ago, IIRC.

You did. https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/9043443/gerry-turner-wife-toni-golden-bachelor/

"MAFS: NZ," Season 3, is worth watching. Season 2, definitely NOT. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, round and round, same relationship issues each discussion. Plus, the brides refuse to tell the truth: They do not care for the physical appearance of their respective husbands. Old, overly tattooed, bland, whatever.

The assumptions here, stated as fact, about Gerry’s decisions continue to baffle me. E.g., Gerry was strictly about the M-O-N-E-Y, Baby? That what it can't buy, he can't use? Who not named Gerry Turner could possibly know this?! E.g., could his remark about the cost of the honeymoon not just be a goofy wisecrack instead of an accounting statement? E.g., Leslie will now "spend her days in therapy"?! But in any case....Mes amis! We have our Official Wedding Invitation! https://parade.com/tv/the-golden-bachelor-wedding-special-gerry-turner-theresa-nist

AKA, "The Silver Bachelor." 😎 As for Gerry’s choosing between 💰 (Theresa) and 🔥 (Leslie): We have no idea what Treesa is really like, IYKWIMAITYD. Moreover, isn't all fair in love and war? Some people are reacting as if they are shocked---SHOCKED!---that a human being would use wiles to win the affections of another!

Perhaps instead of being a "coward" for not choosing Leslie---twice-divorced, overly-emotional, and yes, younger Leslie---Gerry simply went with the woman he related to and loved more. 💘 Or maybe he just flipped a coin! 🪙 🤣
