[@suewindsor3028]

You know the guys are gonna sing the song at Men tell All 😂

[@carlychamberlain4237]

Guy is truly a nice man for doing the song.

[@vanillaghetto]

I was ready to think that he was a dig-me, with being a doctor (god w 5000 hosp ladies trying to latch on), good-looking, and recently divorced from a high-profile attractive woman...but he actually seems great...

[@LindaCapra]

I didn’t think much of Guy but Fantake set me straight. He supported both men, truly a man.

[@khelix23]

Guy being a ER doctor knows how to “teamwork” which is a green flag.

[@amelia20717]

I was thinking that too. Kim couldn’t do the song on his own since it relied on there being multiple men to make sense. That and his bedside manner with Charles was really good IMO. Guy seems like a standup guy

[@KatAnne17]

Yes!

[@tarag2705]

I was brought to tears when Guy was able to bring King Charles some much needed closure. You could see the years of agonizing just wash away. Also, I didn’t care much for Guy but he actually seems like a great man! Singing with Kim and being gentle with Charles really bumped him up in my books!

[@jugoolick2006]

Guy has amazing character. I didn't care much for the captain.

He did. Shows you charles is honest. But also guy helped him so it's natural to help your friend back.

[@madinatuleshova6292]

it seemed like Charles wanted Joan to know Guy is a stand up man

[@AgathaG1692]

Absolutely. But that whole thing seemed so fake/scripted to me.

[@jugoolick2006]

@karynlouisa3771 isn't guy's name not pronounced guy but "ghee"? I'm not getting the scripted feeling, what gives you that feeling?

[@Monetxoxo]

Hear me out: It would be cool if we could get a spinoff with just Charles, Gary, Guy, and Pascal. We can call it Golden Guys😂

[@ninabubblygum]

i hope they get their prolonged time to shine after the season like some of the golden women did! get them hosting events and appearing on celebrity family feud and making appearances in upcoming bach seasons, we need more

[@sharletteream9335]

This is the best season ever because of one man, CHARLES!!! Seriously, I have never loved a contestant more! I don’t think he and Joan are destined to be, but I’m so glad he’s on the show!

[@breannasmith7580]

Guy is my favorite because he is absolutely so wholesome, helping Charles and being the only one to sing Kim's song ❤

[@ashley48523]

[@demigreen6495]

He’s the real McDreamy

[@lauretta6699]

Seriously!!!

[@lauretta6699]

You know even if Charles doesn’t “win” by getting engaged to Joan, I think he’s winning anyway. He’s healing from his loss, meeting a lot of great new friends and this will definitely open more opportunities for him to meet another special lady. ❤️🙏🏼 I believe God doesn’t do coincidences and he meant to put him and Guy in the same place. Guy has a great empathetic bedside manner

[@callmecristal]

Guy singing with Kim had me in tears.. It broke my heart when the guys didn't want to sing with Kim!! Just sing with the man!!! HE WROTE A SONG!!! I can't believe our captain composer went home... 😭

[@mireyahernandez3764]

Charles is a top Bachelorette contestant. He's loving life, everyone loves him, he's just enjoying the ride. I will ride at dawn for him. I loved the scene of him asking Guy (who;s a doctor) about his wife's passing and what occurred after. Charles must have felt relived hearing from Guy about what happened to her and feel relief about the matter and Guy telling him he did the best he could must have been a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Charles must have felt guilty about if he made the right call and hearing that from Guy must have felt better. (me personally, have seen a family member passed and wondered if I made all the right choice at the end. Hearing Guy tell Charles that he did all the best he could, felt reliving to me as well.) P.S. I need a tv series with Gary and Charles trying new things tbh

[@mariem3429]

do you also like the part where Joan who is the lead btw, cried about how tired she was being strong for everyone. All the guys tried to cheer her up, one wrote a prayer for her Mom, but your honey the self absorbed Charles turned it back on himself leaving poor Joan to comfort him! 🙄

[@Bworkingonit]

You gotta be kidding me!

[@pamelakoshko]

Charles is the most self absorbed one on the show. He never once asks Joan about her family or her loss. My husband and I think he actually ruins the show!! Can't wait for him to be eliminated.

[@icedcoffee40179]

@@pamelakoshko they don't air their entire conversations. maybe he has asked or she has told him about it but it's not aired. if they weren't having good conversations then i don't think she would have kept him around this long 🤷‍♀

This one really made me like Pascal more than I thought I would.

[@vanillaghetto]

This is not a caricature...this is actually how French men (and women) are! Not worth it!!!! Runn!!!

[@peekaboots01]

Interesting. It did the opposite for me. He's too feminine.

[@LindaCapra]

Not me. I like that he is unapologetically himself and his back story, but I just don’t like his type.

[@pinkrainclouds2190]

⁠@@LindaCapraI absolutely understand. He reminds me of my mom’s boyfriend. He is a good guy and helps us out so much, but there has always been something about him that feels slimy. Pascal gives off similar vibes.

[@cindyd.01]

I also liked him more because he was sweet to her. But, clearly he is not the right match because of his high maintenance needs. (He is also a good character for the house.)

[@demigreen6495]

Period. 💯

[@carlychamberlain4237]

Understanding Pascal's past explains a lot about him.

[@vanillaghetto]

Yes, this explains why he leads with his "success, money, and high (maintenance) lifestyle". Good for him...but but I'd stay very clear of that.

[@normanduke8855]

This series is far richer than the regular series. This kind of importance comes from having survived a long life. The 60's, though, are a piece of cake. The series could match Shakespeare if the couples were 70 plus.

So, we all know that Charles is perfection, a lovely person whose very presence makes me choke up. But, and this surprised me, Guy is entering great guy territory, too. He seems like a very good man - genuinely supportive of his housemates, funny, humble, and not at all what I had first thought. I had pegged him as too smooth and a bit full of himself but I was wrong, I think. It's nice when someone surprises you.

You can say wow?how that happened? And they’re gonna keep talking giving you the info you need.
