The first-ever Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner tells PEOPLE that his season 'was remarkably problem-free'
“When they sent me a text about it, I had seen the ads throughout the show. In the back of my mind, I thought, ‘That would be quite an experience. That would be a lot of fun,’” Turner, 72, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “So when they really hit me up hard with it one night, they didn't have to push as hard as what they maybe thought. It was a back-and-forth in my head before I decided to actually fill out a questionnaire online, but I'm certainly glad I did.
“She'd worked her whole life, getting to that spot where she deserved her time in retirement and her time of fun, and she got cheated out of it,” Turner laments. “That was the thing that always bothered me.”Turner sold the lake house where he planned to retire with his wife and sought grief counseling, which he calls a “life-changer.”
Eventually, Turner became “more optimistic” and “more positive” about dating to the point that he figured he’d give searching for love on TV a chance.
