Turns out Gerry's name is neither "Jerry" nor "Gary"...it's GEAR-EE.

Like Richard GEAR with and "ee" ending.

We've all been pronouncing it wrong.

Joan is gorgeous but man I wish she’d lighten up on the Botox and fillers. Uncomfortable watching her talk with a motionless face!


So sad to see her leave! I loved her. Does anyone know her IRL? Is her daughter ok?


I think the daughter was a convenient excuse, not saying there wasn't an issue going on but I'm guessing her DD already had a solid support system at home and mom didn't really NEED to be there. Bottom line if Joan was really into Gerry she would have stayed.

There may have been things going on at home, but I think both ladies wanted to leave.


I agree. I’m not sure this is as much “fun” to live through as they try to make it look. I can’t stand April. Really like Nancy!

So agree! Loved that quick shot of Kathy and Theresa's faces watching Leslie's dirty dancing. I thought Joan knocked it out of the park...so umpressed.

She's too young for Gerry...and the immovable facial features are far worse than just aging naturally with some smile lines and crows feet.


Typo correction:

...so IMPRESSED...

It was clear from the first episode that Kathy (Rhoda) would be the one stirring up drama.

I can only imagine how embarrassing it must be for her to watch the show back now. Drama queen got her sympathy rose.

Does anyone know Joan and her family? Is her excuse for leaving legit ?

Wonder if it all part of the drama and she will be coming back. Or maybe she wanted out.

I don’t like Teresa. Her sweet girl routine is all an act. Kathy is at least blunt.


I don't think it is. She's a 70 year old woman who was married to her high school sweetheart until recently.
I think it's in poor taste to gush about your amazing connection with a man to a woman who is also "dating" him, but I think she's clueless more than malicious.



I think she knows exactly what she's doing, and is one of those "clueless" passive-aggressive people. Kathy is just plain aggressive.

This is an ageist view of aging. Those issues are not common to most people in their 60s and 70s. Healthy and successful aging is pretty normal.


These descriptions fit my parents in their 80s and 90s and even then, they didn’t have all of the problems you describe. The 60 and 70 year olds I know are doing pretty well and many look very good too.

I don't think Joan is the woman for Gerry. He seems like a sweet man, but not every lovely encounter equals a "romantic connection".
I think he wants to love Ellen but the chemistry just isn't there.

I still think his final three will be Leslie, Faith and Teresa, with his choice being Teresa.

Teresa rubs me the wrong way too, but I think it's her looks.


Sometimes I think she’s cute as a button, sometimes I think she looks like a muppet. I can’t decide!


It’s like Kathy said- I can’t decide if she’s dumb as a rock or if she knows exactly what she’s doing!


I think the latter. Both ladies are manipulative and have mean streaks. Team neither!
