This Thursday is the Women Tell All, and while I normally couldn't care less about the filler episode every season, this time it's the exception. reunite on stage, and my only complaint is that ABC didn't make the episode a full two hours (it's 74 minutes, but still).I was there in person for the taping (which lasted around four hours), and it was the most emotional, fulfilling, inspiring and hilarious afternoon/evening (and that was before Gerry even joined Jesse Palmer in the hot seat!).The women look amazing, but more than anything, you get to hear them talk about the experience and how it changed them in ways they could never have imagined.

on The Golden Bachelor (she was eliminated on the Thursday, October 26 episode), but she sure made the most of her time week after week.Whether it was the calming way she said “fuck,” or her decision to ignore the fact that she's lactose-intolerant to play Never Have I Ever, the 75-year-old retired executive assistant from Doraville, Georgia (and former ) made sure that would never forget her.And how could he?
