Chock is a fake and the way he kept saying, 'She's mine" at Disneyland was too much. Something about his story about his wife was off.

Pascal is gross. Charles L is sweet but I don't see them together. Gil is gross too and someone he dated asked for a restraining order. Does not surprise me.

Jonathan is too young and hot. He needs a 45yo, who wants to still raise kids since he has them!

Has he told her he’s raising kids? I didn’t see that. That’s huge.

Pascal is so gross. What a baby. Won’t cook/clean/do anything. I hope Joan sees right through him soon.

And I was not pleased to see Gary there, asking if she’s worried her Prince Charming isn’t there. Go away!

Joan seems so impressed with Pascal, really wants him to be into her. He isn't. I feel bad for her, but also disappointed because she clearly likes him for shallow reasons and doesn't get his very obvious number.

Don't underestimate how much she may do to keep the producers happy. It's a great storyline. Look at us here ... everyone talking about it.

But yes so ANNOYING. Why would the professors do that to us?

You mean the *producers* lol.

You need someone to be really annoying. If there’s no conflict at all, or nothing weird going on, it gets totally boring. He’s probably going to end up being the villain. Every reality show needs one. And look at what we’re seeing here, everybody already is talking trash about him. That’s in the edit, they’re making us react to him this way.

Guy was the winner of this episode. Showed his bedside manner and compassion to Charles and was the only one to sing Kim's dumb song. He was a good guy to do that for him.

I still also like Jordan and Keith too. I think it will depend a lot on whom she physically connects with. And later, what might come out about the person like it did with Gerry. Yuck seeing Gerry! Blech.

Yeah, they should have just not had him on.

Yes to all of this.

Over Jonathan. He needs to button up his shirt and fess up to the qualities that made his wife want to dump him so abruptly. That does not come out of the blue. Also, he’s dull.

SO glad the petty tyrant Kim is gone. Humorless and rigid bothers me even more than selfish Pascal. At least Pascal is fun and has a sense of humor.

I don’t think she has any attraction to Charles L either, but either the producers made her keep him or she just finds him sweet and easy to be around.

1. the producers DO make the lead keep certain people around regardless of the lead's feelings about them.
2. the producers do NOT let the lead (or at least Joan) get rid of more than one person of color per rose ceremony.

on a separate note: the story of the other guys taking care of Pascal's laundry and cooking (for a fee?) is mildly amusing on this show. But, in real life, this would SCREAM --- RED FLAG, RED FLAG, RED FLAG! A man who has reached his late 60's and does not cook ANYTHING, does not clean anything, and does not do his own laundry????????????

WHAT?????

First, how is that even possible since he claims he came to this country with nothing. When you are poor, you have to be even MORE resourceful than the average person.

Second, it is very strange to me that he isn't EMBARRASED about his lack of initiative, independence and self-reliance! If I was a single woman looking for a partner, I would NOT be looking for man-child that I have to take care of all the time. I want someone who is CAPABLE and who will take care of me -- not just throw money at a problem. I want someone who puts forth the effort to DO things for himself, and do things for me.

I don't know how Joan can even think Pascal is at all attractive. Sure, he's a nice-enough looking guy... but totally unattractive in other ways. Ick.

When a guy says "I have no idea why my wife wanted a divorce" .... it might mean "I have given zero effort to looking at what I might have been doing wrong."

I seriously doubt he has real money, probably leveraged to the hilt. I don't find him the slightest bit attractive, but Joan sure seems to.

Why are the ratings so darn low? Did Gerry destroy the franchise before it really had a chance? Are people just not interested in an older woman finding love? Even with his tarnished reputation, Joan only has half the Insta followers Gerry does. Fewer than Leslie, even. It's both surprising and disappointing.

There is zero sex appeal, little romance, and too much grief counsellings.

He’s dull and insecure. And what’s with the shirts unbuttoned nearly to his navel? I’m betting he refused his ex-wife’s requests to go to therapy. He is too NEEDY.

So I think it is a woman-led revolt against the nonsense with Gerry. Millions of women bought into the idea that the Golden Bachelor would be sincere. The revulsion when he was found out to be someone with a different character caused women to give up on the Golden series. I know so many women who simply refuse to tune in!

I watched a little. I just don't think the franchise is generally good anymore. I had hope with the Gerry one, and he destroyed it by being not at all what was advertised. I think Joanne is likeable and authentically herself, no surprises there, but I think the men are mostly Gerries. There is too much storytelling going on.

I agree. Jonathan was a turnoff in episode 3, sitting there in the unbuttoned shirt talking about being blindsided by the divorce. You could have been blindsided but then have learned something or examined what you contributed. I thought he was really attractive but he lost me with that conversation. He wants pity and mothering, I think.

PP. And yes to Kim being gone! What a whiner. I can see why he's single.

And she’s a pleasant surprise, more energetic and charismatic than I expected.

She also seems considerate and sincere.
