#GoldenBachelor -- Down to the Wire!
10/22/2023
That didn't take long to get rid of all the women. We're at the end of the Golden Bachelor and it feels like we've only begun. I was sad to see Joan go, but Joan was apparently married to a major league baseball player. Those WAG wives are different. I don't know if she could handle the quiet life on the Indiana lake anyway.
Leslie grew on me last week with her story, but I saw on Reddit she actually dated Prince back in the day. Prince is a far cry from Gerry. That being said, if her "picker" is off, maybe having Gerry choose her would be a good thing. She also said she'd been single a long time, so she's obviously good on her own. They might be a nice couple after all.
Theresa seems to be the favorite because she is also a widow. I'm still holding it against her that she didn't know Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." Literally, what planet do you have to be from to not know that song? They seem to have good chemistry, but I have trouble with that with Gerry. He genuinely looks so interested in what everyone is saying, no matter how mundane. I truly need to practice that gift. My emotions are always on my face. I could never be an actress.
Ellen is sweet, but I don't think she is enough of a spitfire for him. Prove me wrong, Gerry. I think Ellen would be lovely for Indiana lake living.
I'm not going to lie, I'm glad Kathy is gone. Listen, do I think she was wrong about Theresa? No. I think that innocent act is just that on Theresa's part, but Kathy reminds me of every schoolteacher who tried to make me conform. You know how there are the teachers who love the "oddball" kids and teach individuals differently? Then, there are the teachers who are "my way or the highway?" The latter is Kathy to me. I had an inner prejudice from the start.
Sandra was taken out by ice cream and the "Never have I ever" game. Relatable and I love her. Hometowns are coming up!
Regardless of who Gerry picks, I liked this kinder, gentler version of "The Bachelor." Now, give it over to the Golden Bachelorette because that will be fun. My son and I were watching some TikTok where women were dissing the dating app picks with bachelors and their fish. I say, go for the fishermen. The fishermen and the golfers. They're gone all day and you can read. (Also, don't take dating advice from me.)
