Gerry Turner has some thoughts when it comes to Golden Bachelor in Paradise.
The current Golden Bachelor lead, 72, shared that he is wary of golden singles meeting on the beach for a potential spinoff of the ABC dating series.
“I just don’t know if that’s something I would support,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “But I do know there’s an awful lot of individuals from The Golden Bachelor that would be fantastic on a beach.”
He added: “They would have the time of their lives!”
However, Gerry admitted after filming Thursday’s Women Tell All special that he would be “wholeheartedly in favor” of The Golden Bachelorette.
“I have no say in it, just to be clear, but I think it would be exciting because it’s going to continue the theme that we’ve started of being hopeful and being visible at our age,” he added. “So hopefully it happens.”
However, the retired restaurateur refrained from picking favorites for the role among the women who vied for his heart on the first season of The Golden Bachelor.
“There’s 22 women that stand out. I absolutely would not be able to single one out,” he shared. “Each one of them has a certain personality that would make a show interesting and charm, and they’re all intelligent, so there’s no bad choice.”
Faith Martin — who was shockingly eliminated during Thursday’s episode — wasn’t shy about throwing her hat in the ring for the coveted position after falling for Gerry while filming.
“I really do believe in the process,” Faith told. “I feel like I’ve seen it work and I lived it. I know that in such a short time, you can have those kind of feelings, and I trust these producers.”
“It’s like they’re matchmaking gods or something because how do they put so many people in a situation where they are compatible and can find those feelings and actually find love on their shows?” she continued. “I mean, they’re really good at what they do. So I would’ve never believed that the process could work, but it does.”
“So I think they should continue to do it with this age group, because I think that gives people hope. I think it’s really fun to watch, and I would definitely be into doing something like that,” Faith added.
When asked if he had guidance for Faith if she became The Golden Bachelorette, Gerry shared, “I don’t think Faith needs any advice from me. I really don’t. She’s got her act together. She knows what she wants. She knows what she can and can’t do. Yeah, she doesn’t need advice from me.”
The Golden Bachelor airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
