1. Welcome
2. Question of the day: What TV show dad would you most like to become a bonus grandparent?
3. Golden Bachelor
   1. Theresa’s HT
      1. What do we think about his interaction with the kids? I felt like it was awkward?
      2. Gerry said he was in-love with Theresa...bombshell is she the only one?
   2. Faith’s HT
      1. She loves horses and Gerry seemed OK with them…is this a stumbling block? Horse people are weird…do you have to like all of the same things your partner does?
      2. They kind of whispered I love to each other…is Gerry telling everyone he loves them?
   3. Leslie’s HT
      1. Leslie’s brother Stuart seemed to be the person to convince. Do you think that should be the family’s role? Especially with older contestants?
      2. He called her wife material…we got a pickle
   4. Gerry runs off crying…what is going to happen?
4. BiP
   1. Tanner comes back and Kat is mad! Tanner had a great time with Davia and basically is like thanks but no thanks Kat…Kat says she doesn’t care
      1. Do you think Tanner handled this right? Could you date Kat?
      2. Kat has like a 20second regeneration period and is makin’ do me eyes at John Henery. John H is like “awww shucks” which makes Kat want him more. But also Olivia wants him…trouble in paradise
      3. Thoughts on the Olivia vs Kat situation? Who is JH better suited for?
   2. Blake and Jess are at a crossroads. Basically, Jess isn’t sold and Blake doesn’t want to commit unless it is a sure thing.
      1. Enter Genevie. Blake says Jess isn’t sure so he “has” to go on the date, which makes Jess fore lorn. Is Blake following the “rules” of paradise?Thoughts?
      2. But…Tyler takes the opportunity to lay the mack down of Jess and she is with it! Is this an OK move? Jess is totally cool with it, but Mercedes doesn’t seem to know about it. We got a love pentagon!
      3. How do they sort this out? How is Mercedes doing in all this?
   3. Brayden gets pulled by Becca and because Brayden is a golden retriever he loves Becca…Rachel Nicole is sad.
      1. Who is a better fit for the Brayden-retriver? Of course he freestyle raps…of course…
   4. Kat is still stirring up shit and tells Eliza that Aaron a dog and she is concerned. Aaron says he is not a dog and lets Kat know that too. But, then Charity come in!!!!
