“whoever Thought That.. On The Show Should Be Fired”: Gerry Turner Giving Love Advice To Joan Vassos Was The Last Thing The Golden Bachelor Fans Wanted To See

Reality shows are always packed with drama, especially when it comes to romance. The Golden Bachelorette just premiered, and it’s already grabbing attention thanks to one particular appearance. Fans have been quick to share their thoughts, especially since Gerry Turner was picked to give advice to Joan Vassos.

Given everything that’s come out about Turner after The Golden Bachelor, it seems like no one’s really buying into his image anymore. Even the show’s producers might be regretting their choice, as picking him for such an important role on The Golden Bachelorette could turn out to have been a big mistake.

Fans Were Not Happy With Gerry Turner’s Cameo On The Golden Bachelorette

Putting their life on display in a reality show is tough, even when it seems glamorous and exciting. The truth is that the audience is always watching closely, picking apart every little detail — even after the cameras stop rolling.

When the first season of The Golden Bachelor aired, viewers watched Gerry Turner as he looked for the love of his life. He even proposed to Theresa Nist, and their ceremony was broadcast shortly after. The catch? The couple ended up divorcing just a few months later.

In The Golden Bachelorette, the franchise’s spin-off, Joan Vassos is on the hunt for love. At a pivotal moment in her journey, Turner was chosen to offer her some advice. However, fans weren’t thrilled with the decision, criticizing him not just for his divorce but also for his past.

Rumors started circulating that contradicted Turner’s claims about his love life even before he appeared on The Golden Bachelor, yet his cameo suggested that the production team didn’t seem to mind. Fans took to the internet to voice their frustrations and even complain about the show’s producers:

Vassos was still grieving the loss of her husband, which appeared to be impacting her decisions. It was thought that Turner, having gone through a similar experience, could offer valuable advice on navigating her feelings and choices.

That makes sense, but given his public history, the production might’ve wanted to rethink their choice. The reality is, the audience holds the power. If viewers aren’t interested, it’s probably best to switch things up and find a different direction.

Why Has Gerry Turner Become So Disliked By Fans?

Turner was one of the audience’s favorites. However, his reputation took a hit when rumors about an ex-relationship began to circulate. It seems he had a secret girlfriend prior to joining the show, which didn’t sit well with fans. (via New York Post)

In one episode of The Golden Bachelor, Turner claimed he hadn’t been involved with anyone since his wife passed away in 2017. However, Carolyn — who is allegedly his ex-girlfriend– came forward and shared stories of his unpleasant behavior. According to her, the widower portrayed on the show is quite different from who he really is.

Leslie Fhima was one of the contestants eliminated from the show, but she may have been the one who helped fans start to see Turner’s true character. Fhima claimed that he made promises to her off-camera, hinting that she would be his final choice.

It didn’t take long for the widower’s reputation to plummet, with many labeling him as self-serving. In response to Carolyn’s allegations, he simply stated in an interview with Katie Couric Media:

I guess I would say this: I dated a number of women, but then it becomes an issue of how you define whether you’re in a relationship.

Reality shows often connect with viewers on a deeper level than movies or scripted series, mainly because they reflect real life. It might’ve been better for him to be authentic from the beginning, even if it meant revealing some problematic past relationships. It’s clear that the audience prefers transparency over deception.

The Golden Bachelorette airs on Wednesdays on ABC. The Golden Bachelor is available for streaming on Hulu.
