Summary of the “Golden Bachelorette Party”: men tell everything

Summary of the “Golden Bachelorette Party”: men tell everything

Sure, let’s watch it. Do you know what we need right now? Men tell us more things. A truly excellent time. At least Bob was a lesbian haven there. We appreciate you, Bob, even if Joan called you “receiving” and said she would “always remember this conversation,” neither of which indicates real support. I love living as a gay man at the end of 2024! (Eats pumpkin chocolate chip cookies while staring into space)

All things considered, this episode was fairly innocuous, which is what I usually expect from Men Tell All. Either that or you’ll get weird and aggressive poses from the male participants, so at least that wasn’t the case. It had a very “celebratory” tone which I liked.

So, do we all want details? Golden bachelorette party male chat time? Fine. Luckily for everyone, we open with Charles wandering around an empty lot. He’s very impressed. We love you, Charles.

Jesse Palmer and his big rectangular head are growing on me, which is good because he’s our guide throughout this entire program. This is when you earn your living, Jesse. Otherwise, he basically says, “Gentlemen. The last rose of the night.” The thing he himself made fun of in a recent season! It’s the little things.

The reunion (that’s what I’m calling it now) features C.K., Bob, Gregg, Christopher, Kim, Michael, Dan, Jack, Jordan, Gary, Keith, Jonathan, Pascal, Mark, and Charles. They insist on calling Charles “Charles L.” although now we all know the other Charles as “CK”. They might even call him “Charles Not in Charge,” but Charles L.? The right choice. Charles missed the men every minute, and we learn that their children are in the audience.

A quick Google search reveals that the show filmed from June to July, so it’s been a few months since the men were on camera. Mark’s beard became thicker. Pascal is clean shaven. And Charles hair darker! His hair went from completely silver to inkjet black. Jesse talks about it and Charles says it was definitely because of the food he ate. Amazing. Once again we love you, Charles. All the other men look pretty much the same, or maybe I didn’t watch them closely enough during their time on the show.

The men talk about their close friendship and how they call each other brothers. We see Gary again saying that these people made him a much better person than he was, and I wish there was more of Gary in this episode! I Love Gary. “Women will tell everything“from Golden Bachelor This may have been my favorite episode of reality TV ever, and while I never expected the same from this week, I think Gary Time combined with Charles Time could really help. Gary and Charles are both so genuine and willing to show emotion.

Although we don’t have more time for Gary and Charles, we do get more Charles and Jack time, which I’ll totally accept too. Damn, I love Jack. They show additional footage from the first night where Charles acts as the MC for the other men despite never having been there before (amazing) and Jack talks about how “I used to clean chandeliers” and he’s really amazed no dust on the chandelier. Well done, Jack. Never change.

Michael, who I’ve never really paid much attention to but who my friend really likes, reveals that he was diagnosed with cancer right before he joined the show, and it made what could have been an incredibly difficult year really special. Plus he’s recovering now, so go Michael! “You seem like a good person,” she said, with very little information.

We return to what Jesse calls “Burgergate,” which is his reference to the fact that there was very little drama between the men, except for the time Jack tried to tell Christopher how to grill a hamburger. Jack’s take on this is: “I’d like to say nothing, but that’s not my style. I have to say what I have to say.” Really. We then learn that Jack has grilled hamburgers for everyone present. We have to watch how everyone eats. It’s the director’s choice.

Jonathan is our first interlocutor who has to sit on a small sofa. Despite Jesse Palmer’s suspicions, Jonathan insists he has never stripteased. professionally. He tells us about how Mark left him confirmation stickers and everyone cries. Mark reiterates that Jonathan is a fantastic person. Why can’t we all be this kind! Why don’t we pay more attention to this behavior and instead support a person who is unkind, cruel and has never had a moment of empathy for anyone not directly related to himself? Who could I be talking about? Who knows!!

Jesse interviews Mark, and based on Mark’s time at the mansion, we don’t learn much, but he seems like a quiet and pleasant person. Not everyone needs to be on television; if yes, then they must have a charming personality. Mark definitely didn’t need an interview, but he’s practically Bachelor Joey’s father-in-law, so here we are.

Charles’ interview is obviously the best. CHARLES MANIA is sweeping the country, Jesse says. Really! We see a highlight reel of Joan telling Charles that he changed her life, a favorite moment because someone on earth is emphasizing Charles’ importance. We learn that Charles was nervous about how his family would react to him being on the show, but he has received support and love from them and his daughters, and he feels lighter than before. Someone in the audience stands up and suggests that Charles become the next Golden Bachelor. While I support it, he may be too kind to do it. You’ll have to make some tough decisions on the show! “Besides, I’m still not sure he’s ready,” the woman said as she watched the man on TV.

The Los Angeles Gay Men’s Choir sings “Mansion Men” and Kim is delighted. We see a clip of Pascal leading the men into meditation and then telling the camera, “I have no idea about meditation.” When Jesse interviews Pascal about his goodbye, they talk about vulnerability and the importance of showing your feelings, but NOT LONG ENOUGH. This whole episode was supposed to be about the stigma of emotional men and how we can all counteract it. I would be behind this.

Joan ends up sitting on the couch talking to the men. We see a “Lesbians for Bob” sign in the hall, and Joan tells Charles that they will exchange phone numbers. Jonathan has met someone so good to him (he looks so gorgeous too!) and Joan still seems a little resentful of Pascal, but in a passive-aggressive way rather than outright hostile.

Next week! We’re in Bora Bora and forced to look at Chock shirtless, and Joan describes it as emotional, with tears, but some of them are tears of happiness. So we’ll see what happens in a week!
