Bachelor of Hearts163. Gerry 'Time' Turner (Golden Bachelor S1 E7: The Women Tell All)This week, XRN has been struck down by covid-19, so MQ is handily filling in the gaps, for the traditional not-quite-an-episode of the series: The Women Tell All. There's not All that much for the Women to Tell this time around, as drama has served as a garnish to the other festivities this season. However, we do find out our Final Two, as Gerry surprises us with his choice of evictee, and Max reflects on their less-than-ideal ending. Plus: gas chat, six inches become eight, and of course, we get to hear plenty of Max's beautiful Gerry impression.
