Plenty like her, just the judgemental sad sacks.

The people pushing Leslie here are scary. Many of us are tired of it.

I’m tired of it. And I haven’t commented about her, but I agree we don’t need any more embarrassing dirty dancing. It was downright gross.

Your sockpuppeting is ridiculous. Run along now.

You should ask the moderator--no sock puppetting here, I posted above but this isn't my post. You don't like to hear it, but between the self-pity and the dirty dancing, many women don't find Leslie relatable.

Yeah, I posted yesterday about how I thought Leslie was annoying and having tons of red flags, and come back to find a lot of posts agreeing.

No sockpuppetting going on

Sure, except for the fact that you keep misspelling sockpuppeting the exact same way? :lol:

DP. It's so weird you keep telling yourself that there's only a single, lone poster who doesn't think Leslie would make a good bachelorette. Dancing with the Stars, bring it on. But lots of us don't want to watch her have another emotional train wreck, and I don't believe that would be good for Leslie either, if you actually cared about her.

Ask the moderator if you suspect sockpuppeting. He'll tell you otherwise.

I agree the gown was lamentable, although the veil was so bland it was inoffensive to me. Theresa did say that with her first marriage she didn't have time to do the whole big-wedding-and-gown thing, so this was her big chance to push out all the boats, so to speak. But yeah, the gown wasn't great. In fact every gown she tried on seemed to be all about the deep cleavage. Well, it was her fairy tale not ours, so I'll try (maybe unsuccessfully) not to judge.

Except your language is so repetitive, misspellings and all, "many of us" can easily tell it's a single poster.

Agreed.

I think what is painful about this whole situation, and what falls short in such a disappointing way, is that the unscripted parts are *so good.*. The joking and kindness between the women, the liveliness, the laughter. The spirit of the show -- in age, as life had passed and was still going for these women, and in a culture that fights against liveliness in age -- was really powerful. It drew people in.

And then there is the tawdriness of the scripted bits, the man who misled women and wants to shove his past life and recent unkindnesses under the rug: time to "move on" and "look forward." The desperate product placement of Amazon in Theresa's rather stumbling mouth. All the posturing and positioning.

I mean, it's fine. This is just a show. People will get some happiness from it, including those involved and those watching. No big deal. It's just that it could have not been tawdry. It could have been so much better. But, oh well.

I get what you're saying and think the producers could have done better. How about they just let people be real and have some flaws instead of the ridiculous glossy 'glow-ups' that inevitably fall apart? And the product placement could certainly be done with more finesse. Agree the success of the show came down to the women, their spirit and friendships. Hope that's where the emphasis will be placed moving forward!

I'm still trying to figure out for myself if Gerry would have been likable if he had presented his true self vs. the producers' version. Not sure, maybe? But if he was the best they felt they could do, does concern me about the franchise moving forward. Obviously casting did a great job with the ladies!

+2. The Amazon registry placement was atrocious, not to mention two people in their 70s probably have enough dishes and crystal anyway. Also the idea that we’d want to jump on Amazon to order what they registered for.

I will say the crystal flutes were lovely but presenting them in the crappy Amazon brown box, ugh.
