The Golden Bachelor's Marina Perera was an early fan favorite, but she mysteriously vanished without an explanation in episode 2. Here's why.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Golden Bachelor contestant Marina Perera's mysterious disappearance wasn't addressed on the show, but there is now an explanation for why she wasn't in episode 2. Marina, a 60-year-old educator from Los Angeles, California, was an early fan favorite. On premiere night, during her one-on-one time with Gerry Turner, she told him that her daughter thinks he's "dope.
However, during The Golden Bachelor episode 2, Marina was nowhere to be found, and her exit wasn't even mentioned. While Gerry went on his first one-on-one date with Theresa Nist, and had a romance novel cover shoot group date with some of the other women, Marina's absence was not addressed. When she didn't appear at the rose ceremony, it seemed that she was gone for good. Here's why Marina had to leave the show.
Marina told Gerry, "I'm a single mom, and I had to choose my family, and support my family's needs at this time. And I am sorry that I had to leave. But, at the same time, I had to get my priorities straight, so here I am, and there you are." The caption of the Instagram post said, "The bittersweet part of maturing gracefully: honoring your priorities. Nothing but respect for Marina and her difficult decision.
How Gerry Turner Reacted To Marina's Exit Gerry has been understanding of the women's emotions and needs throughout The Golden Bachelor, and this situation was no different. He told Marina, "I fully understand. Commitment to family overrides just about everything else, and I really respect you for doing what you've done. I agree with you 100% that you needed to put your family needs before everything else.
Marina then wished Gerry well, telling him that she thinks there are "some beautiful women with beautiful souls, and I want to wish you nothing but the best from my heart." Gerry thanked her and told her that it was a "wonderful sentiment." He wished her "all the happiness in the world." Marina thanked him and told him that she will take it. Gerry then told Jesse that he really respected the decision Marina made to go back to her family.
