No, I would not go on national television to try to win his heart.From as far east as New Jersey, as far south as Florida and as close to home as Sierra Madre and Downey, these women stepped up to stake their claim on the first-ever Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner, star of ABC’s new addition to their reality dating franchise.
I admit to being skeptical about the show while holding out hope that it would give a realistic view of later-life romance that might eschew the stereotypes. The debut episode began with Gerry putting in his hearing aids as he gets ready to meet the women vying for his attention. Two things surprised me as I watched the stories unfold. First how quickly the women admitted to falling in love with the golden boy and how kindly he responded to them. The man has manners. And heart.
Granted, the audience has no idea how much is real and how much is scripted. But Gerry made us believe him. Surprise number two was his rags-to-riches assertion that he is in love with more than one of his suitors. All this in just a matter of weeks.
