Anyway, I find this a little puzzling given the nice camaraderie in the house.

Several looked very upset on Leslie's behalf during ATR, and all of them were aware of the not-nice revelations about Gerry's dating life that had just come out. Theresa's feed is full of comments about Gerry being after her money. Honestly, I feel bad for her. I hope both ladies are being supported privately by the other women, at least. They might feel challenged saying anything publicly right now.

Gerry's feed is FULL of criticism, Leslie-specific and about him as a person. He has 100K followers and didn't even post the finale or proposal as a result. The GB producers really screwed the pooch on this one.

For the sake of the show ABC needs to clean up the comments section for Gerry and Theresa. It's a sh*t show. Always amazing to me how people become so rabid about tearing people down from their pedestal.

I'm shocked by the meanness of the posts. I mean WTH?

Where are these posts?

I'm just getting caught up on this thread, but a PP referred to Leslie as sophisticated. That is not a word that I would use to describe her. She might be sophisticated in real life, but the person presented in the show was not, almost the opposite.

Leslie was nice enough but she seemed emotionally immature. Theresa seemed cunning, to me. She got her man though. Hope he doesn’t blow through her retirement monies.

But I think it is kind that he did not lead her on until the last minute (probably much to the producer’s chagrin). More respectful to Theresa also. (A few hours at least of loyalty. And he does not have to watch Leslie be shocked.)

Was he crying because he hated hurting her or because he was shutting that door? We will never know…

It was hard to watch. She was traumatized and it felt invasive to watch.

Did anyone else feel guilty?

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

No. I felt no guilt. They made a choice to be on this show. No one forced any of them.

And you made a choice to watch this.

Here's my take on Gerry. The women's value to him was only based on his interest in them. Once he was no longer interested, he cared not one whit about them as individuals. Dispatched them as quickly as possible, they were strangers to him at that point. There's a coldness to him, evident in his treatment of his ex-girlfriend as well. I hope Theresa will be okay. Leslie is for sure better off.

The probably think Theresa doesn’t need support at this point.

Do you prefer your women to be fragile than strong?

But it's also supporting the show, right? Happy ending, yay! Also, it never hurts to be kind, especially when it ended up being much more complicated, negative even, than she envisioned.

But you would have all criticized him if he continued to show support for the women he had cut, and you know it (ie, you would have said he was leading them on or disloyal to the remaining contenders).

He was nice to walk them out for private conversations after the rose ceremonies.

And I don’t remember a lot of men crying because it bothered them to hurt someone emotionally.

Doesn’t the show always end this way? Except he tried to break the news to the loser in a more dignified, private way?

I agree, and think that's partly why Faith and Leslie took it so hard. If you haven't experienced it, being love bombed then abruptly discarded is HARD. You feel like you're crazy because he was just saying these amazing dream-like things to you less than a day before. It's a hallmark of narcissistic behavior. You are an object to them, not a real, live person valuable in her own right deserving care and respect.

I don't like women romantically at all so I have no preference. Theresa seemed sneaky, to me. It worked, for her in the shortrun, hopefully he won't drain her accounts and leave her worse than he found her. Leslie missed that Gerry didn't want her because she was very focused on her wanting him and what she wanted.

DP. You’re reading way too much into things in what seems like a desperate attempt to vilify Theresa. It’s not a good look…for you.

After promising her she was the one in their overnight less than 24 hours earlier? He handled things so badly.
