What Happened To Susan Noles After The Golden Bachelor Season 1?

The Golden Bachelor alum Susan Noles wasn't Gerry Turner's final pick, but she rallied after that disappointment, and since her stint on the show, she's been doing some fascinating things. She did a podcast with Kathy Swarts and participated in Celebrity Family Feud as part of the "Golden 5." While no one likes to get rejected, Susan's thriving now, and she looks fantastic. Sadly, Gerry Turner's living with cancer - it's treatable but incurable. He said his diagnosis played a role in his decision to end things with Theresa Nist.

On The Golden Bachelor, Susan started out strong. Gerry even gave her a present - it was a rose quartz crystal. He felt that she embodied the mystical properties of the pretty semi-precious stone, including "strength" and "empathy." He believed that his late wife Toni Turner had the same appealing traits. Nonetheless, he eventually decided that she wasn't the right woman for him. He eliminated the Kris Jenner lookalike. Susan has since had some cosmetic enhancements, including a lower face-lift and breast reduction. She was notably sad when Gerry took Faith Martin on a date that Susan dreamed of going on.

Susan Is A Charismatic & Exciting Person

Susan is a vibrant person and a romantic failure isn't going to keep her down for long. In fact, after Gerry moved on during his series stint, eliminating her, she was a guest on a SiriusXM podcast, along with fellow The Golden Bachelor alum Kathy Swarts. Both really spilled the tea, with Kathy being the most critical of Gerry.

Susan did indicate that she and Kathy were "East Coast girls." She said they want men with a little more "edge." Kathy, who hilariously unloaded while chatting, believes that Susan was never meant to be shucking corn in Gerry's home state, Indiana.

Susan Appeared On Celebrity Family Feud

She Loved The Experience

Susan made an iconic appearance on Celebrity Family Feud in early April 2024, during an episode that was all about Bachelor Nation. Her group was the "golden 5" and, as seen above on Instagram, everyone seemed to love doing the lighthearted but competitive game show. It was for a good cause, as winners could donate to the charities of their choice.

The cast members who appeared in that episode are Kathy, Faith, Leslie Fhima, Susan, Gerry, Ellen Goltzer, Natascha Hardee, Theresa and Nancy Hulkhower. Fame has been good to Susan so far - she's quite an extroverted person and seems very comfortable in the spotlight. However, Gerry's "Team Golden Bachelor" won the series. Theresa was on his team, along with her children, and so were his kids. Gerry and Theresa called it quits shortly after.

There's Life After The Golden Bachelor

Susan recently frolicked with friends and family, dressed in an elf costume, as they all relaxed at home. She appears to be in the Christmas spirit, and she's always smiling. On the show, she formed a strong bond with Kathy - in fact, she sometimes missed her after filming ended.

While both women supported Gerry after his split with Theresa, taking her side, Susan's mostly about "girl power." The Golden Bachelor's Susan is a vibrant person who will probably stay in the public eye, thanks to her uncanny resemblance to a certain "momager," and her willingness to open up to The Golden Bachelor fans.

Fans of The Golden Bachelor can watch the series on AppleTV, YouTube and Hulu.
