Although The Golden Bachelor was must-watch TV and a huge hit with audiences, I’m convinced that Gerry Turner regrets agreeing to be the host of the show. The retired restaurateur, who recently turned 73, lived a life of relative obscurity before being cast as the first head of the Bachelor Spin-off. He lived in an Indiana lake house he built with his late wife, Toni Turner, before she passed away in 2017. A father and grandfather, Gary threw himself into philanthropic work, and I wanted him to Focus on that instead. of agreeing to be The Golden Bachelor.
The widower attended The Golden Bachelor Season 1 in hopes of finding love, and that’s exactly what happened. After dating 22 impressive older single women, Gary gave his final rose to fellow widow Theresa Nestwho recently celebrated her 71st birthday. In January, just a few short weeks after the season finale, Gary and Theresa tied the knot, but the marriage would only last three months. since the Golden Got, Gary became a true pariah with the show’s fans, and I’m sure he regrets ever letting the show’s producers darken his doorstep.
Gary tried to escape the past
His reputation took a hit
When Gary was announced as The Golden BachelorHis first lead, he made a big splash, becoming a household name almost overnight. Although the tall, attractive baby boomer was an initial favorite, the honeymoon would not last long. when Gary and Theresa announced their divorce in AprilFans quickly took Theresa’s side, blaming Gary for the split. In my opinion, this is not fair, because Gary and Theresa are equally to blame for the split.

The Golden Bachelor Season 1 star is traveling around the country spending time with friends. After the way he’s been treated since his public divorce, I don’t blame Gary for wanting to pretend he’s never even heard of the show.
Gary and Teresa rush into marriage
We all got carried away
The Golden Bachelor Season 1 was well received by fans, as it represented the strong idea of ​​second chances. Gary and Theresa Symbolized the hope of finding love later in lifeWhat was an attractive story that everyone wanted to believe, no one wanted to believe in the power of true love like Gary. And Teresa, that’s why it was so easy for her to be seduced by the good women.
Neither Gary nor Theresa had ever had a big dream wedding before, so neither of them could resist an extravagant televised dream wedding paid for entirely by ABC.
The television Golden Bachelor Wedding event was attended by the who’s who of Bachelor Nation and Theresa wore a stunning Badgley Mishka dress that was fitted for her by the designers themselves. I strongly believe that if the septuagenarian couple would have had time before singing at the wedding, they would have realized that they are not right for each other.
Gary’s bitter advice to Joan Vassos
He is still angry
The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 premiered recently, and ABC released a clip of scenes from the rest of the season that teased Gary’s appearance on the show. The clip, what Bachelor Folk Posted on YouTube, teased the fact that, at one point during the season, Gary visits Joan to give her advice on choosing the right person. During the clip, Gary tells Joan to consider the fact that her true love may not be among men She is dating.
The advice really illustrates how bitter Gary is about everything that has happened since he agreed to be The Golden Bachelor.
If I was advising Gary, I would have told him not to project his own failings onto Joan or her season of the show. Just because The Golden Bachelor Season 1 ended with a failed marriage, does not mean that Joan will suffer the same fate. While I don’t think Gary’s advice for Joan is helpful or useful, I completely understand why Gary has such bitter feelings about his time on the show.
