Golden Bachelor Fans React To Gerry’s Daughters On The Finale
Their honest feedback plays a big role in his decision.
The Golden Bachelor finale kicked off with Gerry Turner giving his daughters and granddaughters an important mission: to give their honest feedback after “spending some time” with finalists Theresa Nist and Leslie Fhima.
“Their radar is going to be up,” Gerry said of his and late wife Toni’s children, Jenny and Angie. “They’re gonna be looking for telltale signs of anything that would indicate a problem for their dad.”
As their investigative work played out, Golden Bachelor fans had thoughts.
Theresa Meets Gerry’s Family
Joined by Jenny’s daughters, Payton and Charlee, in Costa Rica, the group met Theresa first. “I’m absolutely in love with your dad,” she told Gerry’s family, who were as enamored by her as their dad is.
After reporting back to Gerry that Theresa had won them over, Angie really went there and asked her dad flat-out if they “knocked the boots” during Fantasy Suites.
On X (formerly Twitter), some fans blushed in disbelief. “Not Gerry’s daughter asking if he and Theresa ‘knocked the boots’ in the Fantasy Suite!” one viewer wrote, while another added, “I am living for Gerry’s daughters learning about their dad’s rizz.”
A third Golden Bachelor fan summed up, “I really like Gerry’s daughters. They are a hoot and love how accepting they are of the situation.”
Leslie Drops An F-Bomb
Leslie met the family next and similarly made an excellent first impression. In a lighthearted moment, she mentioned how Gerry had used the F-word for the first time in the Fantasy Suite, prompting the Golden Bachelor to joke about whether he used an exclamation point or question mark for punctuation.
This time, his grandkids got a dose of the TMI, too. “Not Gerry making a sex joke in front of his daughters and granddaughters,” a viewer posted on X.
Despite the laughs, Leslie’s anxieties gave Angie and Jenny pause. As another fan worried, “The daughter’s reactions are not a good sign for Leslie and Gerry.” It turned out they were correct, too, because Gerry broke up with Leslie soon afterward.
An Uncanny Resemblance
Laughter and tears aside, most fans simply couldn’t believe how much Angie looked like Gerry, while Jenny resembled his “first love,” Toni.
“Genes are wild because Gerry’s daughters do not look a thing alike to me,” one fan observed. Added another, “It’s amazing how much one daughter got all of Gerry and one got all of Toni.”
It was fitting that Angie and Jenny were there for the finale, as they supported their dad’s journey from the beginning. As Gerry told The Hollywood Reporter, “One of the pieces of advice my daughters gave me was to be genuine and be true to myself.”
Judging from their well-received, honest feedback, it seems to be a character trait that he’d already passed down to his “girls” — and it’s serving them well.
