The Golden Bachelor

Matt Roush says...
Gerry Turner is one emotional guy. Wearing his heart on his sleeve throughout this inaugural season of the more mature Bachelor spinoff, the 72-year-old Indiana widower has anguished every time he’s sent a woman away without a rose. “The only time I’ve felt worse in my whole life was when my wife passed away, and this is a close second,” Gerry says in a trailer for the two-hour finale, where he’ll presumably choose between the last two ladies who joined him in Costa Rica. Will it be Theresa, 69, the upbeat financial services pro from New Jersey? Or Leslie, 64, the saucy fitness instructor from Minneapolis? While there must be a better way to find a soulmate late in life, Golden Bachelor has provided a welcome respite from the fame-seeking hot bodies of Bachelor Nation. (And what are the chances whoever doesn’t get the final rose will become the Golden Bachelorette? And for Leslie in particular, there’s always Dancing with the Stars looking for golden-age talent.)
