Then gets sick while playing a game of Never Have I Ever with ice cream (she's lactose intolerant) Ellen and Kathy win the pickleball competition and get a kiss from Gerry and a cover of Pickleball Magazine..Is it enough to keep Kathy safe during the rose ceremony? Susan gets a rose quartz from Gerry because it symbolizes empathy and strength- 2 things Gerry's late wife Toni possessed. It also brings in LOVE (did Gerry know that-is this foreshadowing?) Faith isn't into vying for Gerry's attention. Is she a "pick me" girl? Leslie gets the one on one date. After ATV driving, the hot tub gets steamy Nancy isn't feeling it from Gerry and opts out. April is an absolute glamourous treasure and is made for greater things and gets sent home Kathy gets sent home and Theresa is the last rose.... KEEP SENDING US YOUR COMMENTS!
