Before fans watch Gerry Turner hand out the roses on The Golden Bachelor, the 72-year-old shared his approach to the show, including fantasy suites.
. And he believes his late love of more than four decades one would have wanted him to embark on this process.
"I had a lot of soul-searching with respect and my relationship to her on whether or not this was the right thing to do," the Indiana star told E! News. "I kept going back to the conversations that we had over the years that when one of us passed, the other one was so empowered to continue on with their lives and find happiness. And we had those conversations—I think many couples do. So, that was the message I took with me as I started the journey.
It's a journey Gerry feels good about as he said he was "genuine and honest" and "did the right thing" at every turn. Although, he admitted he"The only thing might be a little bit of embarrassment when my granddaughters see that I failed my commitment to not kiss anyone on the first night and I did," Gerry said. "And then in short subsequent manner after that, I think I kissed everyone on the show, including the cameraman and a couple of the audio people.
"If people were to watch that first night and try to pick favorites based on my reactions or based on things that happen that first night," he explained, "they would be far away from what the end result is.""It took me a long time to get to where my final decision was, I will say that," Gerry added. "As more information was absorbed and processed, it led me down a certain path. It wasn't like I had a hard time finding my way.
