In the latest episode of “The Golden Bachelor,” viewers were left in suspense as Gerry Turner, 72, faced a difficult rose ceremony. After professing love to all three remaining contestants during home visits, he gave a rose to Leslie, 64, before abruptly leaving the scene without revealing his choice between Theresa, 70, and Faith, 61.
However, the episode swiftly transitions to “The Women Tell All,” featuring 14 previously eliminated contestants dressed glamorously and ready to share their experiences before a studio audience. The discussion ranges from lighthearted topics, such as a debate over the cause of a gastrointestinal disturbance at the Bachelor Mansion, to more serious issues, including the Kathy-Theresa feud that led to Kathy, 70, leaving in Episode 4.
The feud is revisited, with Kathy admitting she could have been more delicate in handling the situation. However, she emphasizes that it was a momentary conflict with no lingering hard feelings. The camaraderie among the “Golden Bachelor” contestants is highlighted, with one participant expressing the importance of having supportive shoulders to lean on through life’s ups and downs.
In a surprising twist, Kris Jenner sends a video message praising Susan, a contestant on the show, for her striking resemblance to Jenner. Susan is visibly moved by the compliment.
The episode also features emotional moments, including Joan, 60, expressing regret over her abrupt departure in Episode 3 and hoping for a romantic future. Ellen, 61, who went home in Episode 5, thanks Gerry for making her feel like a princess, and Gerry uses the moment to reflect on the meaningful experiences shared by the older contestants.
The much-anticipated rose ceremony result reveals that Theresa receives the second rose, leaving Faith to tearfully exit the mansion. The subsequent reunion on “Women Tell All” is emotionally charged, with Faith forgiving Gerry for breaking a promise made to her family during his hometown visit.
As the preview for the next episode hints at a tangled love triangle in Costa Rica, Gerry grapples with the difficult decision of choosing between Leslie and Theresa, expressing the emotional toll it takes on him, reminiscent of the pain he felt when his wife passed away. The narrative leaves viewers eagerly anticipating the unfolding drama in the quest for love among the golden-aged contestants.
