Excellent summation of the show. I did want to mention that I’ve heard several people say that Gerry claimed he hadn’t been with anyone since his wife. I don’t actually recall him saying that, I think he may have just said that he hadn’t been in love since his wife? And then maybe people assumed the rest? He seemed willing to kiss women the first night he met them, so definitely not a shrinking violet from the start. Seemed quite ready to “get to it.”

I hate the idea of multiple women going after any one man, no matter what age. I really think it devalues us all and find it desperate and depressing.

I couldn’t agree more with you that I thought that line about “I loved you at that moment“ was horrifying. While everyone was walking around talking about what a great guy he was, I was thinking, what a jerk. That would literally tear someone’s heart apart.

I did end up falling for Gerry and Theresa as a couple at the end. I thought she was a dingbat initially, but once learning about her business acumen and getting to know her life story a little bit more, I saw how much they had in common and was impressed by her. Leslie seemed too victim-y, always focusing on her never being picked story - meanwhile she had two husbands and got to be runner-up on the show; seems like she’s been picked a lot.

I will admit, albeit embarrassingly, that I’m looking forward to the wedding! I guess I’m a pretend cynic who is just a romantic sucker like everyone else after all :)
