    WelcomeQuestion of the day: What is your favorite euphemism for sex?Golden Bachelor:Fantasy Suites-Jesse is super uncomfortable-Is it weird to think about your parents having sexLeslee and Gerry-adventure date with rappelling. Gerry asks Leslee why she hasn’t asked any hard questions so she asks when was the last night they had sex. But it’s clear he wants to actually have a discussion Gerry tells Leslee that he thinks she’s the one, so if he ends up not picking her, it’s going to be really badThoughts on their time together?Teresa and Gerry-horseback riding in silenceTeresa tells Gerry that she is in love and he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings but he can’t stop thinking about Leslee and what she’s doingWe find out that Teresa is a boss ass bitch and she says she’ll retire if this works out with Gerry-And Gerry seems pretty turned on by her career mWe had found out that Gerry retired at 55-how is this even possible? And what did he do for the last fifteen years?Gerry is now back in. Thoughts on their time together?Is Gerry going to have a breakdown? He has told both of them that he loves them. But he also says he has made his decision. Is it going to be awful for who he did pick to watch this episode?BiP We start with Olivia getting ready to go on her 1:1 date with the new guy, Michael, the new guy who’s name she doesn’t know 🙂 and we find out John Henry likes heavy metal but Kat wouldn’t never go to a mosh pit because ‘people die’ and we’re ready to rock and roll on Bachelor in ParadiseNew guys on the beach-Jordan and Taylor. No idea who either of these guys are? What is the point of new people at this stage? Jordan was Rachel Nicole’s first 1:1 on her season but she sent him home-she’s excited to see him now. What are our thoughts on second chances? Their date is group couples tantric yoga and producers…are you kidding me with this?Tanner is sad that RN is on the date-there is a miscommunication in which Tanner is about to be friendzoned, but they actually talk it out, and it’s not looking good for our new guy Jordan.Eliza and Aaron are officially going steady now and they’re boring. Brayden pierces Tyler’s ear and Mercedes’ face says ‘I hate this’. Truth box-Is Tyler actually interested in Mercedes? Katie shows upBlake panics. Another 2nd chance possibility? Do you think it’s appropriate to end an engagement over the phone?Katie is actually there to hold a roast. I hate roasts. Thoughts on the roast?Roasts suck. The Kat stuff was funny. The Jess stuff was mean. Tanner roasts RN just after they finally got their relationship going? Dumb boy. Blake and Jess are probably not long for this world. Lessons learnedCity Shout outGoodbye
