The Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner’s reputation has taken a turn for the worse after his season, but I believe his cast has entirely turned against him post-divorce, leaving him with no Bachelor franchise support. Gerry, the lead of The Golden Bachelor season 1, was one of the most buzzed-about leads in Bachelor Nation history when he was named the first of the Golden franchise. A sweet, wholesome grandfather, Gerry shared that he’d been widowed years prior and made it clear that he was ready to find love in his second act despite not having dated after his wife died.
Gerry’s behavior throughout The Golden Bachelor was exactly what Bachelor Nation would expect. A sweet, sensitive guy, Gerry made himself out to be the most vulnerable Bachelor in franchise history, but things didn’t stay so relaxed for long. When Gerry’s ex came out of the woodwork to expose him as a liar, Bachelor Nation hesitated but ultimately believed what she reported after things were corroborated. Gerry’s reputation wasn’t entirely trashed, but it was clear that things weren’t going well for the lead as he rolled into the season finale. When Gerry’s relationship with Theresa Nist imploded, things only got worse.
Gerry And Theresa Were Supported By The Golden Girls
They Were Happy About The Wedding
The Golden Bachelor’s wonderful cast of women were happy for Gerry and Theresa when they announced that they’d be getting married live on ABC just a month after the season finale. Though it was a quick turnaround, Theresa and Gerry seemed happy with their decision, and the cast believed that that was what mattered. Gerry’s behavior leading up to the wedding was perfect, and while there were still some rumors hanging around, he and Theresa were confident in their relationship. The cast of The Golden Bachelor all attended Theresa and Gerry’s wedding, happy to support the show and their relationship.
Gerry’s Reputation Sinking Caused Them To Second Guess Him
No One Knew What To Say About Gerry
While Gerry’s reputation had already been sinking by the time The Golden Bachelor wedding special aired, things got worse after the lead and his bride finally wed. Though Gerry and Theresa had reassured Bachelor Nation that things were going well, many began to wonder if they were lying when there was little content about their relationship in the press. When it was announced just three months later that Gerry and Theresa were ending their marriage, even the cast of the show were outraged. Confused and surprised, The Golden Bachelor cast tried to be diplomatic but showed more support for Theresa.
Gerry’s Relationships With His Cast Have Come To An End
He Hasn’t Been Seen With Any Golden Cast
While many of the women of The Golden Bachelor were diplomatic in their initial statements about Gerry and Theresa’s divorce, most have become far more Team Theresa as time has gone by. It’s clear that Gerry may have had a good run as The Golden Bachelor, but the women of the show have chosen to support each other over supporting Gerry in the breakup. While I don’t think they have ill will toward Gerry, the women of The Golden Bachelor are clearly supporting Theresa and aren’t fans of the man who broke her heart after falling in love on TV.
