I’m convinced Heartbreaker Gary Turner was canceled for this reason (his reputation was damaged forever)

The Golden BachelorGary Turner has gone from hero to zero after divorcing Theresa Nest, and his reputation may never recover from the split. 73-year-old Gary had great intentions when he was cast as the first lead of The Bachelor spin-off, which centered on the love lives of baby boomers. Before the show came together, Gerry was a widower whose late wife, Toni Turner, died in 2017 after 43 years of marriage.

For her part, the 71-year-old Teresa was also a widow before he appeared on The Golden Bachelor Season 1. The day trader was married to her late husband, William Nest, until his passing in 2014. Gary and Theresa got engaged during the season finale and wasted no time planning their extravagant TV wedding. The couple rode off into the sunset together but didn’t live happily ever after, Divorcing three short months after getting hitched. The divorce came as a massive disappointment to fans, leading to Gary’s cancellation.

Gary married & divorced Theresa too quickly

Ratings raise

The Golden Bachelor Season 1 was filmed in the summer of 2023 and did not end until December 2023. The Golden Bachelor’s The last rose ceremony is scheduled for December 2023, and the wedding is planned for January 4. A few weeks later went public with their relationship. I strongly believe that there was simply not enough time for Gary and Teresa to get to know each other, but the ratings of the show were great, and fans were clamoring for a wedding.

Gary should never have proposed in the first place

He told Leslie she was “the one”

Gary broke the hearts of many women The Golden Bachelor Season 1, but none as painfully as 65-year-old dance instructor Leslie Fima. The soft-spoken single mother and grandmother received one of Gary’s last two roses, and during their overnight date, Gary told Leslie that she was “The one.” The next day, Gary blindsides Leslie by giving his final rose to Theresa.

Gary is just like everyone else on The Bachelor

He disappointed so many women

When Gary was announced as the lead of the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorfans of Bachelor The nation was terrified. The tall, attractive widower looked like a big hit, and single elderly women from all over the country rushed to sign up to appear on the show. Over time, Gary was revealed to be someone different than I initially expected him to be. He thought he was special, but he was just like everyone else Bachelor Lead who was before, and I’m convinced that may be Gary’s biggest mistake of all.
