"Gerry what was the moment?" We never saw any momentum with Gerry but suddenly the career reveal with Teresa - ding ding ding - it was palpable - and he never looked back
I had felt that Teresa had some mental disorder like bipolar for the way her moods would switch, she seemed clingy and her lipstick always seemed like she didn't know how to apply it. When I learned she was a business woman instead of an airhead, I had more respect for her.
I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him, he had more chemistry with Leslie . Total gold digger, especially hearing his past with women. He found his $ ticket, if the relationship lasts I’ll be shocked. She came across the most desperate in my opinion, so she might put up with him so she’s not alone anymore. He hurt Leslie a ton, but he didn’t really care. The moment he knew, was when he found out about her finances. First season of bachelor I’ve watched in years, now it will be the last season I ever watch. Just my opinion, so go ahead jump on the band wagon.
Theresa has always made more sense. She and Gerry have too much in common. Out of all the hometown visits, Gerry appeared to be the most comfortable with Theresa's sisters and her daughter. They had also had already had a convo about traveling together. Leslie's personal life was too messy. #teamtheresa
@user-eu7jb8ev8t , I’m not bitter, just disappointed. I thought at first he was sincere, but after a couple episodes I felt something off with him. I don’t like seeing anyone hurt, especially to be lead on like he did.
Wellllllll - maybe men need to create stability and safety in order for women to reveal that part of themselves, instead of constantly destabilising them, and then judging them
Great job interviewer, For asking the million dollar question, something that most viewers would love to hear what & how it made this Golden bachelor finalized his decision & picked Teresa at end
On the episode with the overnights he was not thinking positively about Teresa. He was thinking about Leslie. It was exactly when Teresa told him about her lucrative career that his eyes lit up and his entire demeanor changed. All the sudden he was positive about Teresa. Go watch that episode. He totally lied to Leslie! And this other woman he dated, should have been shared with viewers. I can't stand to look at his creepy face anymore. They should have brought all this up on the show last night. I gave up watching the bachelor shows a few years ago. Got sucked into this. Never again.
Yep because his home in Indiana isn't worth that much compared to her home now they're moving to South Carolina & I bet she's paying for half of it!!!!!
He could have easily been honest with them all by simply saying you are attractive. I enjoy your company. You are worthy of love. I look forward to spending time with you again. Today was special, etc. WITHOUT diving deep with the LOVE word and making plans for the future. I think they all would have respected that without any false promises. He was careless and irresponsible when it came to their feelings and emotional investment.
It is very easy to feel love for someone when you are caught up in the experience. A very strong like for someone can certainly feel like love in special moments with someone. He felt love for her in those moments. But feelings can be fleeting. Real love revealed itself to him when he made such a profound connection with Theresa. Hard to believe people can't figure this out !
Ugh!! He doesn't regret telling Leslie you're the one, you're my girl, I love you?? Really? He has no heart, poor Theresa. Wait until he falls for someone else.
I'm glad the interviewer brought up the allegations of the former girlfriend. It shouldn't be brushed aside because it speaks to his character and integrity. His TV persona was a man who was grieving the loss of his wife and hadn't dated much due to grief. Quickly dating someone else and living with her for 2 almost years, making her pay half, putting her out--these are huge red flags that shouldn't be ignored. The franchise made a lot of money off the Golden Bachelor; the TV Gerry and the real Gerry seem to be 2 different people. Theresa needs to move with caution but she's a little suspect based on her interaction with the woman who told her to "zip it."
I think Gerry has a nice canned answer about the past girlfriend. He doesn't deny it, his answer is like a politician. I believe there is some truth, or he would deny it!
Theresa if you get con don't go on national tv because you con everyone too I can't stand hearing him talk. He want us to believe he is a good man and he is not 😢
He never during the entire season, had any twinkle, sparkle, sparks, fire, or chemistry for Theresa at all. He never told Theresa that he loved her until the very last date he had with her during the pajama party overnight where she "Rocked His World". He is not in love with Theresa. He treated Leslie really messed up. He always had the hots for Leslie. He never had the hots for Theresa. Playing cruel love bombing games with Leslie’s emotions. A typical abusive man move. He made sure that Leslie felt secure in her hopes and her dreams of life with him. But then dropping her like a hot potato. He played Leslie for a fool. Theresa with the Joker's smile, will be hit with a very rude awakening real soon. He will never be able to continue to fake love or fake a spark and a chemistry connection for Theresa.
Did you watch the first date he and Theresa had together?? She was the first one he ever had a spark with. He lusts after Leslie but also always had chemistry with Theresa.
I say it's what the producers wanted us to see. A lot of editing went into play to make viewers think Gerry wasn't into Theresa. It's bad but this show is manipulative. I wish these two the best. I think they are a great match....and the producers are the ones who made us think otherwise until the very end to shock viewers. What we perceive on TV isn't always accurate. I'm really rooting for them!
I'm glad she asked about the "Theresa career" question! THAT is when I saw the 180-degree change in him when his eyes lit up after he said he was thinking of Leslie while with Theresa. Theresa says she was censoring herself this whole time thinking of her grandsons and other family members???? Was she censoring herself when she greeted Gerry nude in her birthday suit at the introduction? Was she thinking of her grandsons then?! I call BS!
Thanks! I thought that was the case, but when I read other comments that she was actually nude, I thought maybe it might have been blurred out by the network and that's what I saw.@@Effusive777
She likely got a big life insurance settlement and invested well, so yes it’s about the money, because prior to that it was Leslie and he told everyone he loved them before telling Theresa.
@@catherineritch6241 um well it took him an awful long time to say it to Theresa, And it’s funny that he only told her loved her after the fantasy suite, and AFTER he told everyone else he told Leslie multiple times prior.

If my memory is correct, he was even saying that he was thinking of Leslie while with Theresa but his eyes lit up after Theresa talked about her career, and then there was the sudden 180-degree turn. I have to watch it back.
@@holynight1653 well then he should have figured that out waaayyy before fantasy suites and literally lying to Leslie when saying you’re my girl, I love you multiple times etc. he couldn’t even begin to say it to Theresa, then suddenly she was his girl. SMH it wasn’t right at all. That’s okay because I know Leslie dodged a bullet and I feel bad for Theresa.
Yes I am sure careers are discussed but he literally up like a Christmas tree and I knew from that moment Leslie was history! If Theresa is smart which I know she is ……she needs a prenup signed and her will written for her children!!!
Teresa showed her passion to him about her career. That's what turned him on. He doesn't need money. Teresa was willing to change her life for their relationship. The others were very hesitant about that. Swept up in moments! This show is all about that. Someone was gonna get their heart broke.
Seriously? You don't think you need to know what someone does for a living before proposing? Maybe that is why one in two marriages fail. WTF? How is it a red flag?
I read early on that his late wife's hairdresser said she complained a lot that Gerry was to flirtatious with other women. It was a quiet article. Anyone can say they had a great marriage after their spouse dies though.
Totally agree!!!!! It's all so icky. And Theresa's face is...well, it's simply bizarre looking. And Gerry gives me the heebie jeebies. Bad vibes all the way around this mess. Yuck.
Unbelievable! Answer the question Gerry! The viewers deserve to know! We aren't leaving it in the past. What a jerk. Get a prenup Teresa. Or better yet, run fast, run far girl🏃♀️🤥🤑
@@janeem4371good for you he’s not in a relationship with you. He doesn’t owe us viewers any explanation. Only Theresa. And she obviously has chosen to stay with him. Y’all are way too invested in this show lol.
@@Sweettooth25 ABC owes it's viewers an explanation for why they were deceptive about this bachelor person. If they want to keep their audience they need to be truthful. Teresa isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Hope she gets a prenup. I don't understand all the women sticking up for a lying golddigger, it's mind boggling. And yes, I watched the entire stupid season thinking this bachelor was someone he isn't. It's straight up BS
All these positive comments are unbelievable! This man lied to all the women about his past and yet everyone thinks he's the greatest and most sensitive guy out there that actually cried "real" tears. Come on people, get a grip and realize this guy is a phony and to make matters worse the so called winner is actually still going to marry him.
She was desperate because in 10 years she hasn't dated since her husband died!! Really! I wonder why?? I guess they deserve each other. And when he claimed to Leslie, that "it was in the moment" that he confessed his love to her. What a frickin a_____e!
Granted I don’t belong to their generation, perhaps fake dudes like him are all the rage among women of his age group? But still, how can anyone find him even remotely attractive? He’s just so cringe and fake.
From @1:14 he's lip syncing everything Theresa is saying....seems almost like he prepped her with what to say. She is head over heels and so enamored by him and if what has come out about him is true, I do hope she sees the red flags soon, gets a pre-nup before this marriage although I feel like he'll convince her not to get one.
This is such a bizarre couple. I was really rooting for them in the beginning. I knew she would be in his final 2. But during the fantasy sweet, he basically ignored her. It was thinking about Leslie. Then she tells him what she does for a living. And everything changes instantly hello teresa. And I'm glad that interview were put the mom. The spider said Hey, it seemed like the careers would change things. Because it' so true he's such a con artist
Yes his true intentions came out. He did look disinterested. He fell in love with her money! If you read the story about his ex girlfriend “Caroline” it will all make sense. He is a con artist-too good to be true!
I could not watch the finale. I read the spoiler and was Too upset to watch the drama unfold. I kind of agree with these comments about his fake personna. $, I think you are right. I hope they choose the younger gal for next golden Bachelorette. BTW, treasea was too aggressive, had her eyes done and at 70, short shorts??? He's just a man. Wonder what the daughter's think?. Prenuptial mandatory.
There’s a big twist here for me: I liked Gerry from the very beginning… oh there’s still good men out there. Never liked Theresa only to find out in the end she’s the total package not because she has $ but she’s beautiful inside. Beauty is just skin deep…. what’s inside a man’s heart is what matters.
I loved everything about this season. I thought the relationships between all of the women as friends were truly authentic. At the end when Teresa said we loved all these women. I thought that was so sweet and the testimonial too adulthood and friendships.
You mean you fell in love the moment you figured out she waa a perfect sugar mama for you? It's okay to admit it because most everyone knows that is exactly the moment the lights came on. 😂😅
Let's compare Theresa vs Leslie... Theresa : Has only been with one man her whole life from 14 on and stayed committed to 43 years of marriage until he passed. She even stayed celibate for YEARS out of respect for her late husband and truly waited until she'd healed. Leslie : Has two failed marriages and an extensive dating/sexual history with lots of baggage and trauma. It's ultimately concerning that she admits that men always reject her. So ask yourself.. Who is truly wife material? As much as women all over America are making Leslie the victim and Gerry the villain, the majority of men would pick Theresa. 💯
Yes, well said. Theresa has a stable attachment style as does Gerry. Leslies wonderful though at some point, you have to take responsibility for your choices and find out why you pick the wrong guys. I also noted where Leslie said she wouldn't accept Gerrys apology and Don't tell me what to think! Not words that build, nurture or maintain a relationship even after a breakup. Theresa was questioning if she'd be the one wisely and admitted she didn't know what he'd said to Leslie . VERY Mature. Leslie was sure it was her because he said "I think you're the one" ...she completely forget about Theresa there. Gerry also said to Leslie, "You're not asking me any questions (on that fantasy suite night) and she goes "when have you last had sex" WTF? You see, those aren't questions you should be asking if you want to marry someone and find out all about them, where to live, etc, in such a short time. Theresa was the right choice, a good role model for women seeking a happy, long-term marriage and y'all Gerry's human.
@@faithbot1276 exactly. Theresa talked about family and lifestyles and work and what she was willing to compromise on. Leslie likes the thermostat at 69 😒
It just angers me that Teresa plays along with him. He had no intentions of picking her until the fantasy suites. That’s when he found out she had money and that’s also when all the rumors came out about him afterwards, and I don’t know why the bachelor would be paying for a wedding on TV to somebody who lies, as well as if producers knew then they lied to.
So glad Gerry is not giving energies and attention to the expose story. What a wonderful way to respond to negativity and hate! He is so classy to not have said anything negative about anyone!
The way he treated his ex is quite the opposite of classy! Just because it is true does not mean it is negative and hateful. It is just fact and one can react to that accordingly--it is not "being negative" LOL!
I would defend myself against false accusations, especially if told to the world. There is a defense to slander and defamation. It is TRUTH. He doesn't even want to talk about it. hmmmmmm She supposedly still has text messages@@aiai-j7i
He is a creep. Thought he was very fake from day one. Didn't care for Theresa either at all. It will all come to an end. Don't see it working out. She's too smart for him and will realize he only picked her because she is successful. $$$ I think the dirt on him is true. Wait till he has her pay for half of their date night out in advance.
There is a video out on RUclips of another interview that Gerry and Theresa did where they were asked a few questions and one was about splitting the bill. He responded yes right away. Theresa is feeling like Cinderella right now, so she's blinded right now. But, I agree with you that she is smart. I can't wait until she has clarity! @@KRobertson-q1z
I think she is pretty phony too just like all her bad plastic surgery and botox on that face. Yikes. I don't like either of them. Maybe they both deserve one another and are way more alike than we realize???
I was wrong. he made the right choice, and i actually think this will work long term. I DO wish he had been more respectful towards Leslie, or at least more careful with his words. I understand where she is coming from. But i dont think he is the right guy for her either. I've been "in love with" guys that weren't the right guy for me. I just hate to see her hurt and I'm proud of her for speaking up the way she did. I wish them all happiness.
I appreciated the way Leslie expressed herself both in the suite with Gary as it all went down and on the gathering at the end. She was respectful yet got her point across without yelling, name-calling or throwing things. Gerry set her up to think the way she did.
@@Dragondaughter9 We don’t know what he told her is my point. We only know what was recorded. Reguardless of which one he chose people are going to be upset. I believe he cared about Leslie and thought she may be the one until the Fantasy suite . Since Teresa was last whatever happened behind closed doors cemented Gerry’s feelings for Teresa. Now if Teresa had been first then Leslie and he had said those things to Leslie I would maybe feel differently.
Oh my gosh NOT Leslie for Golden Bachelorette; I wouldn't be able to watch. She's wrathful. It has to be Faith, who I would like to watch and could root for. She'd be fun.
Why are people acting like Theresa is Jeff Bezos? Average wage of a day trader in New Jersey where she is form is under 90k a year. Not shabby but hardly gold digging worthy. Any of the urban dwellers who owned their own home would have a higher net worth than Theresa, just FYI
@lolacookie453 that would depend on whether he has any certifications or specialty trade qualifications. Starting salary is 23 an hour, but with qualifications you could be looking at 40+. Again, he owns a home and is not hurting for money. Many wealthier indo ideals participated in the show. The whole he is a gold digger trope is absurd on its face.
There were other factors difference in religion, age difference and where they would live. In the fantasy suite they agreed on making a compromise as to where to live. I was thinking Gerry seemed too nice He avoided answering questio about his past. The otherr thing is that this couple are both widowed. Leslie has not resolved her divorces and quickly slid into victim role.However, Gerry really shocker her.
People tell me how many of us don't have a skelliton in our closet. There are things in your life which you don't share with any one no matter who, people do change and will sell your soul, so some hints in your life should be kept to you and you alone.
"The Golden Batchelor" Divorce: What a scam "The Batchelor/ Bachelorette" series is. Only something like this still happens in my created acronym "The MSSE" (The "M"ost "S"crewed Up "S"ociety and "E"ra I've ever lived in my life of seventy five (75) years of life)! I had figured, @ Gerry's & Teresa's senior age, that they had better (been there, done that) intelligent sensible reasoning than the younger contestants age. However residing in "The MSSE", nothing has changed since I was a child growing up in "The 50's". Therefore, this incident leaves me to curtail my interest & my time, watching "The Batchelor/Bachelorette" series, now, & in the future! Bob The Builder👷
I know there is a lot of disappointment in many quarters that Gerry did not pick Leslie. I feel Gerry did the right thing for both Leslie and himself by letting her go. Gerry may be a boomer, but he married Toni right out of high school and went on to raise a family with her in conservative Iowa. His life experience was similar to the generation prior to his (and even then the most conservative variant). Leslie is a younger Boomer - the post draft Jones/Wonder Years type - but her whole experience was Gen X. As an entertainer who worked with Prince as one of his dancers, she probably felt pressured to act even younger (and wilder). On Leslie's worse days, she looked like she was in her fifties. On the final show where she confronted Gerry once again and seemed more rested and polished, she looked like she was in her forties. I don't believe that Leslie and Gerry would have made it in the long run. IMO, she's two generations younger, she is used to a faster-paced, more cosmopolitan lifestyle. She'd ultimately hate Gerry for the same qualities that drew her to him. He'd end up looking old and boring and, in view of the fact that he's not as physically fit, she'd spent the last of their years being his nurse. My big hope is that Leslie finds another guy who wants to spend the rest of his life with her, as his wife, but who likes the city and has some experience and comfort with the entertainment and physical fitness industry. I hope he's successful and protective and an all around hero, like her brother Stuart - who I think is awesome.
You're making some excellent points. Both Leslie and Faith were more free spirited and athletic, especially Leslie. They both wanted more stable, long-term relationships. Theresa probably reminded him of his late wife and seems more traditional and doting. However, I think there's a dark side to Gerry. Leslie dodged a bullet.
Theresa talks constantly and interrupts. Why did Gerry get perfect hair and makeup (and clothes) when the women,not all, had straggly hair and horrible makeup! At the reunion show they finally fixed Leslie and Theresa’s hair. But couldn’t they fix Theresa’s eyebrows?
Oh Theresa was so anxious to get that man, she will take anything from him. She is hanging on to his words, and why is he moving his lips , silently repeating, when she is talking?
Theresa and Gerry are buisness partners, no chemistry, just self promotion. She got her handsome CAD, and he got financial security. He will be hitting on all the runner-ups after the wedding is over. Stay tuned... Their 15 minutes will be up, after their free trip, free wedding, and free ring. He didn’t even put the ring on her finger, she grabbed the ring, and put it on her own finger. Omg what joke!
The moment that he found out she’s loaded. I just hope she gets a prenup.
Leave gerry alone. I liked them two from the very beginning.
@@lc-il6wr I’m not bothering him. He went on a TV show. I watched the show, I have a right to my own opinion. You leave me alone.

OMG red flag wanted to hear all about her career!
Oh my OMG these people just want drama they make a good couple he made the right choice people just want to be so
Yes I am sure careers are discussed but he literally up like a Christmas tree and I knew from that moment Leslie was history! If Theresa is smart which I know she is ……she needs a prenup signed and her will written for her children!!!
Teresa showed her passion to him about her career. That's what turned him on. He doesn't need money. Teresa was willing to change her life for their relationship. The others were very hesitant about that. Swept up in moments! This show is all about that. Someone was gonna get their heart broke.
Seriously? You don't think you need to know what someone does for a living before proposing? Maybe that is why one in two marriages fail. WTF? How is it a red flag?
@@ccrisc100 angry much ?
You’re the best. You kinda asked the questions so many are afraid to ask. Loved this!
Gerry dodging questions about his ex. I'm sure there will be more skeletons dug up in the future.
He is a widower, so he gets a break FYI!
@@Maggie-g1v Time will tell if that behavior shows up again.
I read early on that his late wife's hairdresser said she complained a lot that Gerry was to flirtatious with other women. It was a quiet article. Anyone can say they had a great marriage after their spouse dies though.
They are both creepy and cringy. She showed him her checkbook!
Totally agree!!!!! It's all so icky. And Theresa's face is...well, it's simply bizarre looking. And Gerry gives me the heebie jeebies. Bad vibes all the way around this mess. Yuck.
Unbelievable! Answer the question Gerry! The viewers deserve to know! We aren't leaving it in the past. What a jerk.
Get a prenup Teresa. Or better yet, run fast, run far girl🏃♀️🤥🤑
People should not be so mean 😮
@@KathyLucero-ln4kz I don't enjoy being lied to about who this Gerry person actually is.
@@janeem4371good for you he’s not in a relationship with you. He doesn’t owe us viewers any explanation. Only Theresa. And she obviously has chosen to stay with him. Y’all are way too invested in this show lol.
@@Sweettooth25 ABC owes it's viewers an explanation for why they were deceptive about this bachelor person. If they want to keep their audience they need to be truthful. Teresa isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Hope she gets a prenup.
I don't understand all the women sticking up for a lying golddigger, it's mind boggling.
And yes, I watched the entire stupid season thinking this bachelor was someone he isn't. It's straight up BS
@@KathyLucero-ln4kzGerry was mean to his ex when they were dating. Past behavior predicts future behavior
All these positive comments are unbelievable! This man lied to all the women about his past and yet everyone thinks he's the greatest and most sensitive guy out there that actually cried "real" tears. Come on people, get a grip and realize this guy is a phony and to make matters worse the so called winner is actually still going to marry him.
Yeah - what the heck is all this "we love Gerry" about? He's so obviously NOT what he was touted to be!!!!
She was desperate because in 10 years she hasn't dated since her husband died!! Really! I wonder why?? I guess they deserve each other. And when he claimed to Leslie, that "it was in the moment" that he confessed his love to her. What a frickin a_____e!
Granted I don’t belong to their generation, perhaps fake dudes like him are all the rage among women of his age group? But still, how can anyone find him even remotely attractive? He’s just so cringe and fake.
I can't wait to see the wedding in Jan.
From @1:14 he's lip syncing everything Theresa is saying....seems almost like he prepped her with what to say. She is head over heels and so enamored by him and if what has come out about him is true, I do hope she sees the red flags soon, gets a pre-nup before this marriage although I feel like he'll convince her not to get one.
When I was watching the show when they were on the couch in the last show I also saw him lip syncing and was wondering if anyone caught it.
Yep!
In the fantasy suite when hr found out shr was a successful stock broker $$$$$
Great Answer Gary.. Why give Hollywood Reporter ANY any power. Good call to not engage in gossip and address he said she said:) Right on...
This is such a bizarre couple. I was really rooting for them in the beginning. I knew she would be in his final 2. But during the fantasy sweet, he basically ignored her. It was thinking about Leslie. Then she tells him what she does for a living. And everything changes instantly hello teresa. And I'm glad that interview were put the mom. The spider said Hey, it seemed like the careers would change things. Because it' so true he's such a con artist
Yes his true intentions came out. He did look disinterested. He fell in love with her money! If you read the story about his ex girlfriend “Caroline” it will all make sense. He is a con artist-too good to be true!
I knew Theresa was the one for him.
Hope she gets a prenup!! He has proven to be dishonest.
I could not watch the finale. I read the spoiler and was Too upset to watch the drama unfold. I kind of agree with these comments about his fake personna. $, I think you are right. I hope they choose the younger gal for next golden Bachelorette. BTW, treasea was too aggressive, had her eyes done and at 70, short shorts??? He's just a man. Wonder what the daughter's think?. Prenuptial mandatory.
It was all about the money she has!
Yep
There’s a big twist here for me: I liked Gerry from the very beginning… oh there’s still good men out there. Never liked Theresa only to find out in the end she’s the total package not because she has $ but she’s beautiful inside. Beauty is just skin deep…. what’s inside a man’s heart is what matters.
I loved everything about this season. I thought the relationships between all of the women as friends were truly authentic. At the end when Teresa said we loved all these women. I thought that was so sweet and the testimonial too adulthood and friendships.
You in danger girl.
you made me burst out laughing 😂 thank goodness I wasn't drinking
@@SpringNotes ❤️
Theresa had the $. That’s why he chose her
I agree!
Agreed!
Yes, a woman would never marry for money.
Yep money talks!!!!
Most all of the women are accomplished and have a certain amount of wealth, not just Theresa. 🙄
Theresa get a prenuptial
You mean you fell in love the moment you figured out she waa a perfect sugar mama for you? It's okay to admit it because most everyone knows that is exactly the moment the lights came on. 😂😅
Let's compare Theresa vs Leslie...
Theresa : Has only been with one man her whole life from 14 on and stayed committed to 43 years of marriage until he passed. She even stayed celibate for YEARS out of respect for her late husband and truly waited until she'd healed.
Leslie : Has two failed marriages and an extensive dating/sexual history with lots of baggage and trauma. It's ultimately concerning that she admits that men always reject her.
So ask yourself.. Who is truly wife material? As much as women all over America are making Leslie the victim and Gerry the villain, the majority of men would pick Theresa. 💯
Yes, well said. Theresa has a stable attachment style as does Gerry. Leslies wonderful though at some point, you have to take responsibility for your choices and find out why you pick the wrong guys. I also noted where Leslie said she wouldn't accept Gerrys apology and Don't tell me what to think! Not words that build, nurture or maintain a relationship even after a breakup. Theresa was questioning if she'd be the one wisely and admitted she didn't know what he'd said to Leslie . VERY Mature. Leslie was sure it was her because he said "I think you're the one" ...she completely forget about Theresa there. Gerry also said to Leslie, "You're not asking me any questions (on that fantasy suite night) and she goes "when have you last had sex" WTF? You see, those aren't questions you should be asking if you want to marry someone and find out all about them, where to live, etc, in such a short time. Theresa was the right choice, a good role model for women seeking a happy, long-term marriage and y'all Gerry's human.

Beautiful, eloquent, and TRUE comment. Thank you. So many here are in their feelings😢
Thank you @@firearmdandy1640 💜
EWWW
@@faithbot1276 exactly. Theresa talked about family and lifestyles and work and what she was willing to compromise on. Leslie likes the thermostat at 69 😒
8:55 the Duper’s Delight smirk while he refuses to acknowledge the Hollywood Reporter story…scary
Very classy couple. I wish them a beautiful marriage and life together ❤❤❤❤❤
He said he didn't know until fantasy suites with Theresa. Very late in the game. Wasn't he leading Leslie along before fantasy suites.
The moment is when he hears Money, Money, Money 🤑💰🤑💰🤑💰🤑💰. She's taking care of even in the death of her husband.
Sue would be hilarious as the Bachelorete.
He should have told the truth about ‘ Caroline’ it dies t look good on him.
It just angers me that Teresa plays along with him. He had no intentions of picking her until the fantasy suites. That’s when he found out she had money and that’s also when all the rumors came out about him afterwards, and I don’t know why the bachelor would be paying for a wedding on TV to somebody who lies, as well as if producers knew then they lied to.
Gary is super creepy lol
He showed absolutely no remorse omg..when she asked if you would change anything thats the time he could have said i wouldnt say certain things
Yeah, “I believed I was in love with these women until I knew I wasn’t”-what a line.
You seem very well matched.
❤❤
He doesn't even know what truth is so how can she?
SHOWING HERSELF INDEED!!! RIGHTOUT OF THE LIMOUSINE LMAOOOOO
He like that she has $! Theresa get a prenup!
Theresa has excellent diction.
That's the best you can say for her.
I am so happy for them!
Gerry is awesome and so is Theresa. Great couple. God bless them.
💯
He’s a milk toast 🤓
She told him her net worth and then it was clear lol.
So much love and trusting the process! Absolutely beautiful❤❤❤
So glad Gerry is not giving energies and attention to the expose story. What a wonderful way to respond to negativity and hate! He is so classy to not have said anything negative about anyone!
The way he treated his ex is quite the opposite of classy! Just because it is true does not mean it is negative and hateful. It is just fact and one can react to that accordingly--it is not "being negative" LOL!
I would defend myself against false accusations, especially if told to the world. There is a defense to slander and defamation. It is TRUTH. He doesn't even want to talk about it. hmmmmmm She supposedly still has text messages@@aiai-j7i
He is a creep. Thought he was very fake from day one. Didn't care for Theresa either at all. It will all come to an end. Don't see it working out. She's too smart for him and will realize he only picked her because she is successful. $$$ I think the dirt on him is true. Wait till he has her pay for half of their date night out in advance.
There is a video out on RUclips of another interview that Gerry and Theresa did where they were asked a few questions and one was about splitting the bill. He responded yes right away. Theresa is feeling like Cinderella right now, so she's blinded right now. But, I agree with you that she is smart. I can't wait until she has clarity! @@KRobertson-q1z
No…cringy…ugghh…my eyes are bleeding…
She may be a con also remember at the beginning of the show when she played the victim
I think she is pretty phony too just like all her bad plastic surgery and botox on that face. Yikes. I don't like either of them. Maybe they both deserve one another and are way more alike than we realize???
I was wrong. he made the right choice, and i actually think this will work long term. I DO wish he had been more respectful towards Leslie, or at least more careful with his words. I understand where she is coming from. But i dont think he is the right guy for her either. I've been "in love with" guys that weren't the right guy for me. I just hate to see her hurt and I'm proud of her for speaking up the way she did. I wish them all happiness.
He did do the right thing by telling her before the last minute.
I appreciated the way Leslie expressed herself both in the suite with Gary as it all went down and on the gathering at the end. She was respectful yet got her point across without yelling, name-calling or throwing things. Gerry set her up to think the way she did.
@@jeanniebee61 agree 100%
@@Mypretty2 true. Doesn't erase what he told her during fantasy suites.
@@Dragondaughter9 We don’t know what he told her is my point. We only know what was recorded. Reguardless of which one he chose people are going to be upset. I believe he cared about Leslie and thought she may be the one until the Fantasy suite . Since Teresa was last whatever happened behind closed doors cemented Gerry’s feelings for Teresa. Now if Teresa had been first then Leslie and he had said those things to Leslie I would maybe feel differently.
Gerry is such a b s artist ughhhhh😮
I don’t feel like he loves her
I will tell you the moment he picked het money
Theresa is such a gem of a woman. Strong, intelligent, caring and beautiful. Gerry is a lucky guy to have her next to him
She is downright homely
She may be good trading stocks but she's not all that street smart. This guy is a bona fide loser.
Face like the joker
Oh my gosh NOT Leslie for Golden Bachelorette; I wouldn't be able to watch. She's wrathful. It has to be Faith, who I would like to watch and could root for. She'd be fun.
He could be a serial killer who really knows him
Why does he mouth her words as she speaks.
I heard bc he is hard of hearing.which he does have hearing aid
“What was the moment you knew Theresa was the one?”
When she mentioned “day trader”, he went from checked out to 🤑🤑🤑
Why are people acting like Theresa is Jeff Bezos? Average wage of a day trader in New Jersey where she is form is under 90k a year. Not shabby but hardly gold digging worthy. Any of the urban dwellers who owned their own home would have a higher net worth than Theresa, just FYI
Guessing that’s more than what a maintenance man makes a year
@lolacookie453 that would depend on whether he has any certifications or specialty trade qualifications. Starting salary is 23 an hour, but with qualifications you could be looking at 40+. Again, he owns a home and is not hurting for money. Many wealthier indo ideals participated in the show. The whole he is a gold digger trope is absurd on its face.
He sounds like Barney
LOL
Does the studio pay for the $60,000. dress Leslie chose??
I can’t. Ear to listen to anything that comes out of his lying mouth
Great actors
There were other factors difference in religion, age difference and where they would live. In the fantasy suite they agreed on making a compromise as to where to live. I was thinking Gerry seemed too nice He avoided answering questio about his past. The otherr thing is that this couple are both widowed. Leslie has not resolved her divorces and quickly slid into victim role.However, Gerry really shocker her.
0:58 LOL! Spot on! "Wait, she has money??!! I am in love!"
Both of the last ladies were just wonderful. Too bad you cant take both of them.
For me the sound kept going out.
People tell me how many of us don't have a skelliton in our closet. There are things in your life which you don't share with any one no matter who, people do change and will sell your soul, so some hints in your life should be kept to you and you alone.
"The Golden Batchelor" Divorce:
What a scam "The Batchelor/ Bachelorette" series is.
Only something like this still happens in my created acronym "The MSSE" (The "M"ost "S"crewed Up "S"ociety and "E"ra I've ever lived in my life of seventy five (75) years of life)!
I had figured, @ Gerry's & Teresa's senior age, that they had better (been there, done that) intelligent sensible reasoning than the younger contestants age. However residing in "The MSSE", nothing has changed since I was a child growing up in "The 50's".
Therefore, this incident leaves me to curtail my interest & my time, watching "The Batchelor/Bachelorette" series, now, & in the future!
Bob The Builder👷
I know there is a lot of disappointment in many quarters that Gerry did not pick Leslie. I feel Gerry did the right thing for both Leslie and himself by letting her go. Gerry may be a boomer, but he married Toni right out of high school and went on to raise a family with her in conservative Iowa. His life experience was similar to the generation prior to his (and even then the most conservative variant).
Leslie is a younger Boomer - the post draft Jones/Wonder Years type - but her whole experience was Gen X. As an entertainer who worked with Prince as one of his dancers, she probably felt pressured to act even younger (and wilder). On Leslie's worse days, she looked like she was in her fifties. On the final show where she confronted Gerry once again and seemed more rested and polished, she looked like she was in her forties.
I don't believe that Leslie and Gerry would have made it in the long run. IMO, she's two generations younger, she is used to a faster-paced, more cosmopolitan lifestyle. She'd ultimately hate Gerry for the same qualities that drew her to him. He'd end up looking old and boring and, in view of the fact that he's not as physically fit, she'd spent the last of their years being his nurse.
My big hope is that Leslie finds another guy who wants to spend the rest of his life with her, as his wife, but who likes the city and has some experience and comfort with the entertainment and physical fitness industry. I hope he's successful and protective and an all around hero, like her brother Stuart - who I think is awesome.
exceptional summation - ditto!!!
You're making some excellent points. Both Leslie and Faith were more free spirited and athletic, especially Leslie. They both wanted more stable, long-term relationships. Theresa probably reminded him of his late wife and seems more traditional and doting. However, I think there's a dark side to Gerry. Leslie dodged a bullet.
He probably told theresa that Caroline staked hin
Theresa talks constantly and interrupts. Why did Gerry get perfect hair and makeup (and clothes) when the women,not all, had straggly hair and horrible makeup! At the reunion show they finally fixed Leslie and Theresa’s hair. But couldn’t they fix Theresa’s eyebrows?
As if no one has ever made mistakes. We should not be defined by our past.
Wish them the best ❤
Oh Theresa was so anxious to get that man, she will take anything from him. She is hanging on to his words, and why is he moving his lips , silently repeating, when she is talking?
Why does he keep opening his mouth ?lol
Theresa and Gerry are buisness partners, no chemistry, just self promotion. She got her handsome CAD, and he got financial security. He will be hitting on all the runner-ups after the wedding is over. Stay tuned... Their 15 minutes will be up, after their free trip, free wedding, and free ring. He didn’t even put the ring on her finger, she grabbed the ring, and put it on her own finger. Omg what joke!
Wish you the best. Marriage isn't always easy.
Theresa Definitely💯 percent GET A PRENUP 😮
HES DEFINITELY A GOLDDIGGER LIAR 😢😢😢
YOU ARE WORTHY OF SOI SOI MUCH MORE ❤
Very good choice. Seem to b a lovely couple
The interviewer is messy! ‘Things switch when discussing Theresa’s career’. We all saw it 😅
He is so freaky
He only said wat he ment the truth prevails she should’ve got the message right then and there
