When ABC announced that they are doing a version of The Bachelor with seniors, I thought they were going to cast people in their 40s and 50s.
Today, on Good Morning American, they announced who will be the lucky man looking for love, and it is 71-year-old Gerry Turner.
Why does the retired restauranter from Indiana want to find a new wife? Because in 2017, he suddenly lost his wife after a short illness, who was also his high school sweetheart. He knows that she wants him to be happy. So he is finally ready to try his hand at happiness again.
Are his two daughters and two granddaughters happy for him? Very! However, they might be singing a different tune when they watch the dating show in the fall and see how much sex he is getting. I know I was traumatized when my dad told me about the first time he had sex with a woman after my mom passed away.
When it comes to Gerry, I think the Bachelorettes are all going to fight for him because he seems like a catch! But then again, has there ever been a season of The Bachelor where there isn’t a fight?
