The Golden Bachelorettehas gotten off to an exciting start, and it may have finally turned the page on Gerry Turner’s relevance as a public figure. The 72-year-old retired widower had a thrilling 15 minutes in the spotlight, with more than his share of ups and downs, but audiences are eager to move on from the old, and embrace the new. Now the time had come for Gerry to return to a life of relative obscurity at his custom-built lake house in Indiana.
Before being cast asThe Golden Bachelor, Gerry was happily minding his own business, and after everything that happened,he may be eager to step out of the spotlight. His divorce from 70-year-old Theresa Nist ended his time with theBachelorfranchise on a sour note, as Gerry was unfairly blamed for the split. Now thatThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1has captured the collective attention ofBachelorNation, Gerry may be able to slink away quietly and go back to living his life.
