If Gerry Turner has proven one thing in his time on The Golden Bachelor, it’s just how big his heart truly is. Before the series began, potential viewers already had a glimpse into how sweet he was with the way he talked about his late wife.
That glimpse has only increased since the show began. However, it also took a major toll on Gerry, manifesting in plenty of tears at the prospect of having to send several women home. As a viewer of other Bachelor franchises, Gerry never thought he’d end up like other leads.
Of course, Gerry was not immune to the charms of more than one woman and fell hard for two. Now, Gerry has an impossible choice ahead of him between Theresa Nist and Leslie Fhima. Here’s what he had to say about it.
The Golden Bachelor: Gerry can “see a life” with two different women
In an exclusive sneak preview shared with ET, Gerry admitted he was “dying inside” at the prospect of having to choose between Leslie and Theresa. “With each of them I can see a life together,” he explained. “And, in each case, I have told them, ‘I love you.’”
He weighed the benefits of choosing each woman. With Leslie, Gerry imagined “a very exciting life,” considering “she’s adventurous and she looks out for me and I look out for her.” As for Theresa, Gerry admitted the two have “this bond.” He explained, “We know what the other person is feeling. We know what they’ve been through.”
Gerry said it himself: “This is an impossible task at this moment, and I’m running out of time. At this point, I know that I can’t put it off any longer. Someone is going to come out of this situation hurt beyond what I can imagine.” As difficult as it is, two people could walk away from this situation with immense joy.
The Golden Bachelor airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
