Sons .. Yesterday, I was in the dumps a little.  My Son, who senses things, was off from work.  He told me to meet him in the car and we took a ride to Target where I bought Christmas sheets and throw pillows, and just walked around.  Then, we went to Panaras for lunch.  I came home feeling great!  That’s a Son.

That is so nice to hear; my brother would never do that for my mom!

How will they get all this in tonight?  It’s only one hour fifteen minutes.  Next week is the finale?

I think tonight is fantasy suites (blech), next week Women Tell All and then we have to wait a few weeks for finale.

Tonight is the reunion. Next week is the finale (8 episodes).

Nothing like dragging it out. Get on with it, already! I'm losing interest.  

[deSchenke]

I'm pretty sure they wrap up the cliff-hanger rose ceremony first. Then they go to the Women Tell All portion. Probably next week will be a longer episode to include the fantasy suites and the Final Rose Ceremony. I hope Gerry keeps it in his pants. How awful would it be to be intimate with him and then be sent home!

April had a decades long affair with Frankie Valli starting at 16 😬

I’m just wondering if Teresa gets canned .. that’s all.

If he IS going to end up with Leslie (and I have no idea), I wish he’d drop Theresa tonight rather than put her through another week.  I don’t think Faith is nearly as invested, and would probably be a less heartbroken F2 than Theresa.

[kristen111]

It’s 7:52 pm and I’m sooo excited!    East Coast.  I won’t say a word for the other states, lol.

Her name is Sandra and they keep calling her Sondra.

[JeanJean]

Wait, is it just this dumb tell-all tonight? We don't find out if he picked Faith or Theresa?

I think at the end of the episode they will show it

They will later say who is going.  Teresa or Faith.

[Salacious Kitty]

Feel free to spoil. I hate reunion episodes. 

[kristen111]

Kathy has a new face.

[DEL901]

I thought I saw a preview that said the eliminated woman would be on the show tonight.  

[Armchair Critic]

They are giving Susan a lot of camera time

I’m sure the new Bachelorette is sitting there.

I know a lot of people like Joan and think Edith is pretty but Susan has so much personality I wish they would make her the new Bachelorette

I’ve known more Sandras who pronounced it Sondra than Gerrys who pronounced it Gary, so…?

At this point I think anything that’s aired is fair game, so no spoiling involved unless someone has an inside track. 

[LakeGal]

I am happy Jesse is the host.  He fits perfectly.

As a standard practice on this site, East coasters do a live chat during she show without having to spoiler tag because it’s not a spoiler once it’s aired. If you don’t want to know what’s happening on the show, you should avoid the thread until you watch it.

I meant spoiling the ending for the west coast viewers. Not spoiling the ultimate ending. 

I don't expect everyone to keep mum until after midnight EST. 😂

I'm so old I remember his season. Yes he does a good job, he teases them a little but he is laughing with them not at them.

Yes!  She looks very 'refreshed" and younger & more attractive than when she was on the show

Awww..I am crying at Ellen talking about her friend who passed away...so emotional...I hope she finds somebody to play pickleball with

He has a warmth and sincerity.   He is like that on the baking shows.  He seems to really like talking to all the contestants.  

[Armchair Critic]

Roberta 😢

[kristen111]

Bet the ratings are thru the roof tonight.

[BuckeyeLou]

I live in Indiana, and there are NOT lots of older men who look like Gerry around here! :)

[JenE4]

“You are not just a gentleman, you are a gentle man.” Sandra coming in deep.

Wow!!! And isn’t April a “therapist”? Maybe not the greatest judgement in real life?

They are acting like he is a prince. I really hope he is the real deal and not just somebody who is able to charm them.

The audience reaction for the 2nd woman he picked didn't sound too enthusiastic.

[BuckeyeLou]

Wow!  I am surprised!

[SouthernChick]

Faith looks like Caitlyn Jenner.

[DEL901]

So, after the I love yous, he sent Faith home.   I expect better from the Golden Bachelor.   

[seasons]

I still think the “I love you” versus the “ I am in love with you” needs to be clarified with everyone on this show. Maybe almost everyone.

[Armchair Critic]

Some of them have the numb upper lip Botox thing going on

[JeanJean]

Is anyone else concerned that April might be anorexic?

Yea, yea, Gerry's a nice guy but I wouldn't be averse to Faith telling him, "You douche. Stop telling everyone you love them."

[JenE4]

I actually screamed, “What?!?” at my TV!! He told Faith—and in front of her children and grandchildren—that he loved her! Theresa was the only one who didn’t get a love declaration. This doesn’t make any sense. I’m going to chalk it up to her not willing to leave her dead, buried horse on her farm in Washington. I can’t wait to see what Gerry says after these words from our sponsors…

Frozen from the lips up.  Not a good look at all.

[Armchair Critic]

I have a feeling there was editing for Theresa and we didn't see all his love proclamations to her

[kristen111]

Geeze .. Faiths boobs on display.

[Armchair Critic]

Oh geesh, maybe I am too stubborn but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of all that sobbing over him if I was Faith.

[LennieBriscoe]

Gerry’s Mission #2 Accomplished! To make these women---and their sisters under the skin in the viewing audience---feel that "we're optimistic...more hopeful. We've  realized that at our age we're not invisible,  that we have meaning, and that we have many things to offer."

Now, will he find his next True Love and accomplish Mission #1?

On another note 🎵:

I am betting the next Bachelor/ette is the usual. ABC might like to study this season. Who knows? There  could be an entire spin-off! 

[JeanJean]

IMPULSE CONTROL, GERRY.

Don't tell him it's okay. Did he marry his high school sweetheart? That would explain why he never learned romantic reticence.

[seasons]

Shit just got real. 

[JenE4]

Oh, jeez, all this crying!!! Okay, I think the producers had Gerry send her home to make Faith the Golden Bachelorette.

[Armchair Critic]

Don't fall forward Gerry you might fall into Faith's boobs and not find your way out
