Gerry: "What temperature do you like? 70?"
Leslie: "69."

Both giggle.

"Waking up with Theresa felt like the first day of the rest of my life." He seemed much kissier with Theresa, which is telling. Also said he felt elated telling her he loved her from the bottom of my heart. Maybe he's just confused, but does seem like he changed his mind.

Cooking videos to make her seem more well-rounded (not just a pretty face). It comes across to me as to me as too calculated.

In the end, you have to have the personality to carry the leading role. The personality she showed while on the show was a more quiet, reserved, cautious and graceful personality. That's perfectly fine in the real world. It makes you a lovely friend, co-worker, mother. Doesn't make you a good lead. A lead needs to have a happy, open, confident personality.

Someone is telling Joan that she can be the next bachelorette if she raises her profile.

Yes, she's become quite the try hard. Not pulling it off imo.

The videos are very boring. She has a couple of rather too long cooking ones and the recipes are so basic, it’s like, who cares? They don’t prove her to be an interesting cook, at all. She does one where she changes outfits and she looks great but both of these are uninteresting and yes, try hard. I really liked her on the show but these videos don’t help her image at all.

He seems to like whichever one he was just with…which is unsettling so close to his decision.

But perhaps the show just heavily edits to give that impression. (Or they pressure him to say things that appear conflicting?)

Given his generation, he may have also have liked that she has not had sex since her husband. Leslie said it had been one year.

Per Gerry, there was no sex in either fantasy suite. They talked all night since no cameras and could have deeper conversations.

Where did you see that? I didn’t get that sense from the episode.

DP. Everything Gerry said was about how overnights would be different at this age, and he really wanted the pillow talk, etc., etc. He didn't give any impression when talking to Jesse or any interviews that he was going to have sex. Quite the opposite. I always had the impression that he was saying "don't look for sex here." Plus, he has been chaste for years. He's not going to have sex with one and then go to the other. That's not the guy he is.

Cringe. She flirts with him like he is a hot guy. Everything seems oversexualized.

You are inferring that, it is not a fact. Remember how he talked about knocking boots? And thankfully, he said he would never tell.

Gerry seems like a guy who can chuckle at those bawdy jokes, but he doesn't really respect that in a woman that he wants to marry. Seems like he prefers someone with more tact (? not sure that is the right word). He wasn't into Saundra with her cursing. And I think there were others, like April, who were more into the dirty words. He uses more nuanced euphemisms.

Meh. I bet the producers made them say it. A friend was a producer on Joe Millionaire back in the day and still works in reality tv; he says lots of stuff that is said is pushed by the producers.

That's what the producers are showing us anyway. Who knows what's in all the unaired footage.

I think he made up his mind well before these 2 dates. Didn't he say on the reunion show or maybe it was a promo that he was only in love with one of these women all along? We're all just trying to figure what was already a done deal in his mind based on the editing. After all, this is foremost an entertainment show.

Cringe. I didn't like her overly sexual dance during the talent show and other overly sexual actions. That kind of behavior seems in line with the perception of her as someone who doesn't have her $hit together.

I was part of a "reality" show a few years ago and can confirm that things we said on camera were definitely suggested by the director, and their creative editing made things look different than REALity.
