I read that he is the one that filed. I think she will go back to her life, but I also think we will see him still playing his 15 minutes. Please for the love of God, don't let him set foot on the set of the Golden Bachelorette. We are not done with him yet.

I do believe there is always some modicum of truth in some of the negative you hear. The bad thing about this show is they get caught up in the moment and then when reality hits it's not what you thought it was going to be. I can see where it would be hard at their age to up and move somewhere away from your family. I wouldn't want to. BUT they had time to figure this out before jumping into marriage.

Absolutely agree! That is something you discuss "before" you get married. Be truthful and honest with yourself about what you need/want first. You don't rush into marriage because it's all expenses paid. I wondered if she was rushing to get married because she thought if they didn't, it wouldn't happen. They say it takes about 3 months for each person to be off their "best behavior" and show their true selves.
I wonder if she gets to keep the ring? In any case, I wish her the best!

II thought it wouldn't last, but that was when they were engaged. I didn't think after they got married, it would fall apart so quickly. They said on the show, they talked a lot, and we didn't see it. I doubt the only thing keeping them apart, is where to live.

No, the couple has to be together for 2 years to be able to keep the ring.

It’s so strange. They seemed really happy on Dear Shandy a month ago, but then they were all lovey dovey at the divorce announcement too, so….
In retrospect, it makes me wonder if the whole Dear Shandy appearance was just damage control.
EDITED TO ADD: I wonder how Sharleen and Andy are feeling about it these days.

Apropos of nothing… I think it was Lewis Black who described Gerry as (paraphrasing) “if the phrase ‘gee willikers’ was a person.” I gave me a good giggle.
Frankly, I don’t think Gerry is as wholesome as he was presented on the show. I don’t think anyone could be.

I just feel they knew the rules of the show, beforehand. Two full-grown adults, Gerry proposing and Theresa accepting. Did they not think beyond the finale proposal???

They were obviously caught up in everything, plus the interviews didn't stop., and they were only to willing to hand out relationship advice.So once life returned to normal, they found out they were fond of one another, just not fond enough. We all have little idiosyncrasies, after the marriage is not the time to know if you can put up with them. Look how many bachelors and bachelorettes fell deeply in love on the show, only to find out they really didn't like one another. Big brother has a better average of couples staying together.

Big Brother contestants live together in sometimes crappy circumstances, so it's not all fancy dates and traveling. Someone's bad side/idiosyncrasies are going to come out in that house, so you know a little better what you're getting. I read a comment somewhere that the Bachelor franchise has gotten away from honestly trying to make a match, now they're all about the spectacle and drama. I agree.

Also, Big Brother couples don’t get married as soon as the show ends. They go off to really get to know each other.

At one point, I think more couples came out of The Biggest Loser than the Bach franchise.

No. There is a rule for the rings. I think if, engaged or married, it's less than two years, the ring goes back. They didn't pay for the wedding bands either, so they would go back too. Also, that free italy honeymoon is off the table.

They didn't travel to Italy? They should have.

If staying together or marrying is a prerequisite of the show, there's a lot of rings and trips cancelled then, because most don't end up together.

Obviously, a good part of the decision to select the F1 and commit is being swept up at the moment, and I'm sure we can all attest to the overwhelming sense of comfort of maintaining the status quo. In other words, I don't think Gerry is evil or after Theresa's money or assets, nor is she after his.

Disappointing. I'll give it one more chance but that's it.

That's so weird that they were off shooting Family Feud just days before announcing the divorce. Did the decision come out of nowhere, or are they just experts in compartmentalizing? :eyeroll

I'm surprised they did Family Feud, especially if they knew they were parting ways.

I'm surprised they did Family Feud, especially if they knew they were parting ways. They might have had some contractual obligation. Or maybe they parted friendly enough to go on and have some fun. And I'm sure they were paid.

Or, maybe they wanted to rake in as much money off of their fiasco as possible before we all lost interest in them? Sorry (for sounding so cynical) but, truthfully......going through with Family Feud may have just been completing what their Bachelor PR arranged for them. They may have said, "but, we are breaking up" and PR could have said, "Fine, but do it after the show".

Seemed odd, but maybe she couldn't take that much time at one time from her job.Or he was delaying because he knew he wanted out.
