The inaugural Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner, is ready to embrace the reality TV process with one exception.
“I just think that a Fantasy Suite for someone of my age may look quite different,” Gerry, 72, told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published on Saturday, August 12. “The activities could be quite different than for someone in their 20s and 30s.”
Gerry — who spoke with ET ahead of his first night of filming — noted that he’s not nervous about the overnight dates, but his family is more wary. “[It makes] my daughters a lot more nervous than me,” he quipped, referring to daughters Angie and Jenny and granddaughters Charlee and Payton.

Gerry’s children, whom he shared with late wife Toni Turner, are also not on board with watching him make out with his contestants on the show.
“They said absolutely none of that. They said don’t do it,” he joked to ET, revealing that he’s “been ignoring that part of the advice.” Gerry added: “They said pick your moments. They said enjoy every minute you can.’ They are very much fans of the show. They got me started watching it. They were the ones that motivated me to respond early on to the casting call.”
