JenE4 October 27, 2023 Share October 27, 2023 4 minutes ago, Armchair Critic said: We are going to have melt downs because Gerry makes them all feel special. They all think “Gerry is my person!” And, frankly, he also thinks everyone could be the woman he’s looking for. What are the chances Susan hoped that they have a ride on a yacht on the water—the second before Faith comes back in to tell then about her helicopter/yacht date? The producers are really getting them all riled up on what to say, but worse than that, the women seem to genuinely believe everything they’re told to say and think. 4 Link to comment
candall October 27, 2023 Share October 27, 2023 I'm just going on record to say that I think he should pick the pickleball woman. He's nuts about pickleball, she's extremely involved in pickleball--captain of her league and so forth. They could do worse for common ground, once this wingnut show is finished and they're looking around for something they like about each other. 12 Link to comment
kristen111 October 27, 2023 Share October 27, 2023 Too much kissing .. I have to look away. I liked Faiths outfit on the special date. Gerry knows how to talk to a woman. He says the same with all of them. Good Lord. Teresa is giving him all she’s got. She’s possessed. I don’t think she’s the one tho. Yikes! 16 Link to comment

JenE4 October 27, 2023 Share October 27, 2023 (edited) Gerry is shaking his head no as he’s agreeing with Theresa about their amazing connection. Hmm. Also shaking his head no to Susan that “I don’t know either” whether he’s going to her hometown. Conversely, he’s telling Leslie about his feelings for her first, that he thinks about her at night. His body language and facial gestures when talking with Leslie is completely different than the others. He might be saying similar things to most of them, but his gasp in response to Leslie’s love declaration and response of, “You’re my girl” I think is the first genuine acknowledgement of feelings on his part. Gerry’s back to shaking his head no to telling Ellen how special their connection is. wow. The producers really told them to put their hearts on the line to get the hometown date, and they all delivered!I think Sandra is the only one who didn’t tell him she’s falling in love with him.

It's like he sincerely wants to be nice but it gives the woman a certain and possibly wrong impression. Not necessarily. I actually thought he was pretty reserved tonight except with two women. He clearly was very into Faith on their date. And then he came closest to reciprocating with Leslie with "my girl" and then responding to one of her wishes with "I will" which revealed that she was likely getting a rose this week. But everyone else? I don't think he developed a major connection with Sandra. I think he adores Susan but everything about their conversations feels like "great friends" more than romance. I think he had big emotional connections with Ellen and Theresa over loss but I felt he pulled back on both of them tonight. They were declaring their love and yet all Gerry could muster is "thanks for sharing" and didn't seem to go into the kisses the way he did with both Faith and Leslie. I want Susan to be the Golden Bachelorette. There's probably not a chance in hell but "stay away from my boobs" cracked me up. Edited October 27, 2023 by Irlandesa 8 2 5 Link to comment

mishap October 27, 2023 Share October 27, 2023 My goodness, for all the money, I am assuming, they all put in their hair, this was a rough episode! I see them at the mansion with the hair scrunchy, standing by, on the wrist... but i guess they don't bring them on a date. lol Faith seemed to manage hers. But the Santa Monica pier too it's toll on them all. Even Gerry seemed a little more out of place, than usual. Only Susan's hair could handle it! lol Seriously, warn them, if they are going in a convertible. I was watching Theresa when they were all on that roller coaster and I felt like maybe she was struggling to not throw up. She was trying to look like she was having fun but she was not quite able to sell it. I'm not looking forward to the home town dates as much. I don't really like when they have younger kids on a show like this and from the clips, the grandkids seem pretty well coached. lol Well I would hope that no one, including kids, are pushed into doing this if they don't really want to. I know it would be a hard pass, if anyone wanted me to take part in something like this. 9 Link to comment

Katie111 October 27, 2023 Share October 27, 2023 (edited) Leslie at 60 just seems way too young for him. Same with Nancy (I think that was her name, who left because of her daughter's baby). I'm 55 and would never date anyone that old. Garry reminds me more of my dad than a potential mate. I think 60 to 72 is a huge age gap as so many people start having health issues in their 70's and definitley in their 80's. It seems like he's attracted to the more sexy ladies (minus Theresa), who seem to be the opposite of his wife. I also found Garry getting on my nerves tonight. His Kermit voice would drive me nuts. And his "beautiful blue eyes" just seem more bug eyed to me. He just seems a bit dopey. Besides the fact that he has a dead wife and likes pickleball, I don't really know anything about him. I love Susan, she seems so kind, and I actually found Kathy pretty funny in some of her talking heads. Really wish they showed more of the new bachelor. I loved seeing him.

debbie311 October 27, 2023 Share October 27, 2023 (edited) The statement, find someone you can't live without - that's a nice sentiment. However, was it Leslie who told him she can't live without him? Really? Wow, if someone told me that early in a relationship I would want to run. And I would never say it. And the over-sharing about past relationships and being hurt so many times. Do they not realize they come across as damaged? We've all been hurt but you don't have to put everything out there in early days. I'm not saying to lie or put up a false front, but when they start crying about how they have never had someone who really cares about them - red flags!

candall October 27, 2023 Share October 27, 2023 So long, Pickleball. I could see that you just wanted to get the hell out of there with your dignity intact, i.e. without bursting into tears, and you didn't want or need any of that "Let me walk you out" consolation nonsense. You'll be okay. I also liked Susan. I was surprised she lasted this long since she's more sturdy than fragile and doesn't kill herself maintaining 60-year old hair halfway down her back. But she seems affable and pragmatic and she's close to what his late wife looked like, so I decided she had a shot. Nope. I guess he prefers his ladies with their lips all a'quiver. Pfft. 15 2 Link to comment
