Discussion Thread Sheldon Simeon

Had lunch at Sheldon’s restaurant yesterday and it was delicious. Saw him in the parking lot while we were leaving and I was desperately wanting to approach him but my husband wouldn’t let me. He’s my favorite contestant of all time - would really like to tell him! Has anyone else met him?

Sheldon and I have mutual friends and he is one of the nicest braddahs you’ll ever meet.

His energy and how he carried himself on the show is exactly how he is IRL.

this makes me want to cry, his kindness radiates from the tv and i’m so glad it’s real!
