The Golden Bachelor: Peg Munson is the Perfect Match for Mel Owens
For his hometown dates, Mel chose Peg, a 62-year-old divorced retired firefighter and bomb tech from Las Vegas, Nevada; Cindy, a 60-year-old divorced retired biomedical engineer from Austin, Texas; and Debbie Siebers, a 65-year-old fitness professional from Denver, Colorado, who's never been married. Although all three dates went very well, he decided to say goodbye to Debbie, which meant that he chose Peg and Cindy for his overnight Fantasy Suite dates in Antigua.
As The Golden Bachelor season 2 comes to an end, Mel will have to make the difficult choice between Peg and Cindy. However, Peg is the better match for him. She brought out a whole new side of him on their one-on-one date, and she makes him come alive. Mel should definitely propose to Peg, so that they can continue their love story in the real world.
Peg Brings Out A Joyous Side Of Mel's Personality
During The Golden Bachelor season 2 premiere, Peg's limousine entrance paid tribute to her career as a bomb tech, as she brought a love bomb with her, and told Mel to stand back. Even though the bomb malfunctioned and didn't go off, Peg's entrance was a great success because she made a strong first impression on him and brought a smile to his face.
That night, Mel and Peg then attended the KC and The Sunshine Band concert. Backstage, they danced together, and she sang to him. It was thrilling to see Mel letting loose, having fun, and experiencing joy with Peg. Mel offered Peg the date rose on stage in front of the audience, and they danced and shared a kiss.
Mel told the cameras that from the first moment that he met Peg, he knew that she was someone special. He said that she was a strong woman, and also loving and compassionate. Mel gushed that he'd never met anybody like her. In her confessional, Peg said that she and Mel were comfortable around each other, and that they didn't feel nervous when they were together. Instead, it felt like something that they'd been doing forever, which is so important in a relationship.
Peg Challenges Mel In The Best Way
Peg challenges Mel in the best way, which appeals to his competitive side as an athlete. During their one-on-one date, he enjoyed playing the carnival games with her, and he even called her a
Peg Would Get Engaged To Mel
During Peg's hometown date, she told Mel that she wasn't looking for fireworks, but a fireplace, because the slow burn lasts much longer. Mel agreed that he wanted that too. Peg later told her mother that she'd say yes if Mel proposed to her. She said that her mom should say yes if Mel asked for her permission, but he didn't take that step yet.
Before the rose ceremony after the hometown dates, Peg told host Jesse Palmer that she was really nervous because she was "definitely in the feels" for Mel, but she said in her confessional that she wasn't sure where she stood with him.
Mel and Peg still have their Fantasy Suite overnight date, during which they can bond without the cameras filming them. Hopefully, that date will help Mel to get the clarity he needs to make the best decision for him, which is to propose to Peg. Mel and Peg have both the fireworks necessary at the beginning of the relationship, but also the potential for the long-term fireplace-like love that they're both looking for. Peg and Mel are meant-to-be.
“She Has Zero Endearing Qualities”: RHOBH’s Erika Jayne Slammed by Former Co-Star Amid Explosive Claims of Theft
EX-RHOBH star Kathryn Edwards is no stranger to Erika Jayne. The pair butted heads during Kathryn’s brief stint on the Bravo series and it’s clear there are still hard feelings.
The former reality star, 50, appeared on the podcast Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef on Thursday, during which she talked about her encounters with her one-time Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmate.
‘LOW BUDGET’
During the episode, Katryn and David spoke at length about how Erika deals with criticism online.
The RHOBH star, 50, regularly hits back at haters, even amid backlash about her alleged involvement in estranged husband Tom Girardi’s embezzlement scandal.
Kathryn told David: “The way she comes back at it, to me, with the comments that she does say are just so low budget.
“Just so crass. She has zero endearing qualities.”
ZERO EMPATHY
Kathryn noted that she wanted to feel bad for Erika, even listing some of the hurtful comments she’s faced including being called a “liar” and “hooker.”
Still, she said, she struggles to feel pity or anything else for her former co-star.
Kathryn explained: “I really had a moment where I asked myself, like, should I just like, you know, I’m asking, please show me a way to have empathy for her.
“I can’t. Because she has none for anyone else. She’s a narcissist. That’s it — That’s the conclusion I’ve come to.”
RHO-BYE BYE
Kathryn isn’t the only one who’s had enough of Erika. Audiences are calling for her to be fired amid the drama involving Girardi.
She addressed RHOBH fans wanting her to be fired, asking: “Why should I be fired?
“Why are you presuming that I’ve done something? Why aren’t we letting the legal process play out? The former Chicago star called the backlash “bulls**t.”
She added: “Give me a chance to defend myself. Watch me. I’m ready for the challenge. Watch me do it.”
STANDING ALONE
Erika’s legal drama, and her response to it, was the focus of much of the first part of the RHOBH reunion and will likely feature heavily in the remaining three parts.
Previews for the multi-episode reunion special showed Erika pleading with her co-stars to “back me up” amid difficult questions from host Andy Cohen.
At one point the Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host says: “We’re gonna put you on a skewer, and I’m gonna fire up the barbecue.”
