Blanche pissed me off so much for throwing away Jake like that. The guy was definitely husband material

[@Georgina-lv9bt]

Blanche really shot herself in the foot here, but I like that they wrote her in character and without a happy ending...sometimes people just self sabotage and I appreciate the realism.

[@rbj8387]

And to add to that the reality is whenever there are issues or a relationship ends badly; sometimes "you're" the problem. I like that they didn't portray Blanche as the "innocent" party in this episode. She's not a villain, but she was definitely in the wrong and it cost her a great guy.

In my opinion, besides George, Jake could’ve been one of the best men in her life; one that genuinely cared for her. But her selfishness was too much.

[@RazvanMihai88]

Jake: 'I admire your honesty.' Dorothy: 'I admire your chest.' 🤣😂 Blanche was a fool this episode, to break-up with Jake.

[@lecuyerdooley1084]

But true to her characterization. She will sleep with any man basically but the man she marries or gets serious with has to be of her social class.

[@jons.105]

Jake was played by Donnelly Rhodes, who had earlier appeared on the TV sitcom "Soap" as Dutch (also a Susan Harris production). I can't believe the networks didn't jump on him and give him his own series, like a detective or a single working guy looking for love. Can you imagine the line of actresses willing to line-up for roles on that show??

[@dupersuper1938]

He was the lead in the Canadian show Danger Bay.

[@fuchsraeude1294]

Jake dodged a bullet with that snobbo... floozy. You go man! You deserve better!

[@AlexxaReacts]

I think they could have been good for each other - I guess we'll never know! Thanks for watching! 💛

[@o_nazim]

Love your channel! Keep up the great work!

[@AlexxaReacts]

Thank you so much! Will do! 💛

I don’t know if u have seen Rue in anything else besides Golden Girls but she had been in many shows as a guest character and she was also in Maude with Bea Arthur. I never got into Maude too much to know about her character called Vivian i think but her other tv roles she often played what i think of as a librarian/Sunday school teacher type so it was very refreshing to see her come out as Blanche in Golden Girls and it’s pretty well known Betty and Rue switched roles from what was originally planned. Betty was gonna be Blanche and Rue was gonna be Rose. Betty and Rue actually did Mamas Family before Golden Girls Rue was playing the first season as “Mama’s” sister and Betty played Mama’s snooty stuck up daughter so in that show they were aunt and niece. Seeing their other roles made me really appreciate what amazing actresses were that they played totally different types of characters in Golden Girls than they have previously

I hadn't until yesterday! I was watching Boy Meets World and she's Cory's grandma!!! I never realized until yesterday. I was doing something and heard her voice. I was like "this is Blanche!", I looked up and it was Rue!

[@Sulla2300]

You cut out one of the funniest parts. When Blanche’s date comments that Blanche worked very closely with the caterer, Sophia said did she tell you they were naked most of the time?

[@uraninezak]

Blanche is not my favorite character in the show, that goes to Dorothy, but she definitely gets the best emotional episodes in the show overall. Sophia has some moments that hit harder because, being the oldest, they will sometimes tackle her looming mortality like the season 1 episode with her heart attack, but Blanche episodes showcase her emotional vulnerability and Rue McClanahan was a master of her craft. By the end of the show, I would love a retrospective episode where you talk about favorite moments or closing thoughts on the show.

[@babydee1920]

Dorothy is the best friend well need.

[@AlexxaReacts]

Indeed!

[@anniesmolkin7685]

Can't wait . 😊

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

I actually don't think Jake was a good fit for either of our ladies. Handsome guy, though.
