We’re almost at the end of Mel’s season of the Golden Bachelor, which I’ve enjoyed quite a bit, and this week Mel’s journey takes a break for the Women Tell All. I thought the first two Golden seasons didn’t bring much from the Tell All episodes since those casts all got along with next to no drama. But this season with Nicolle being there for all the wrong reasons. The rest of the cast was great this season, even without Mel being the best lead.

Nicolle being horrible is the first topic that comes up. She says that she was the trailblazer of the show then claims that she was empowering women. Right away Debbie chimes in that Nicolle did the opposite of that, and dismissed them. She then tells her, if she wants to be an influencer, she isn’t going to be if no one likes her. Nicolle finishes saying that she’ll do better, but I think she got off easy on that.

Cheryl’s the first lady on the hot seat. She talks about how hopefully she was after her one on one date, and that she wishes that she had been a little more open. Then she’s surprised by her son and granddaughters in the audience.

Debbie, who just got sent home last week after hometowns is next up on the hot seat. She talks about how emotional her journey was and that she was so proud of herself for putting herself out there. I could see them absolutely making her the Golden Bachelorette.

Finally Mel joins on the hot seat. He praises Cheryl. Then Nicolle then starts crying as she talks to Mel, pumping up the dramatics, and Mel just wishes her the best. Debbie asks Mel if her never being married or having children influenced his decision to send her home, which he says did not.

They finish it off with the rest of the roast of Mel, which was cut down on the episode it aired.

This was an alright Tell All episode. I sort of wish they dug into Mel a bit more on not being very committal to any of these ladies, and I really wish they would’ve shredded Nicolle apart as the worst Golden of all time.

Next week, Mel’s journey nears its end in Antigua as he looks to choose between Peg and Cindy for fantasy suites week. And that won’t be without drama I’m sure.
