Consensual relationship.

Theresa has had one man her whole life
She is in heaven, does not care that she will pay his way and he certainly does not have any dignity about that arrangement.

There are many wealthy old women that buy love and companionship I think

That we are the market for a form of entertainment that ends in a real person feeling that pain?

Yeah, but I think just for this one. Things work that way when people don't understand how "reality" tv works. It's always been like that until people get used to the expectations.

I would bet that most of these women didn't have as much experience watching these shows as many others do. I think Theresa knew the score because she had watched the Bachelor Nation stuff to prepare -- don't forget that she is the one who was explaining to the rest how the next step works at one point.

If there is another Golden-style show, the cohort of people they select out of is not likely to be quite so naive. This show got a lot of press and word of mouth. Nobody will be as likely to misunderstand what they are getting into anymore.

I haven't watched the finale but weirdly it's not on Hulu yet. I wonder if they're editing out some of the less savory bits, eyerolls that were mentioned etc. Will be curious to see!

Doing it live was a problem exactly because of this. They should have coached him better on handling the Leslie convo. He lacks self-awareness.

How would you like everything you said recorded and dissected?

I think he was being honest, in a real time conversation.

He is not a polished politician who went into the conversation with talking points and a teleprompter!

That speaks volumes on its own.

The audience (=ratings/revenue) was driven by the suspense factor ).

Many posters are extremely transactional in their thinking.

Stop being so sexist!

In their interviews this morning, he dominates and she defers. Ugh.

This is all made-up people! It's entertainment.

If two people end up to together, it will be temporary. Each has media attention to gain, to extend the media attention.

So true.

Some men -- god knows, not all. And that really, really pisses many of them off.

FYI, the finale is up on Hulu now.

Not being sexist
Rich old men pick young women generally
but regardless it is what it is
Theresa is the cash cow no matter how you want to not like the truth, she is thrilled to have a man and pay the tab
