Gerry Turner Talks Fantasy Suites On Upcoming 'Golden Bachelor'

72-year-old Gerry Turner is getting ready for his "Golden Bachelor" journey.

Jesse Palmer, the host of “The Bachelor” franchise, recently took to Instagram to announce that filming for the new spinoff series has officially begun. Many have wondered how the new show will compare to the rest of the "Bachelor" franchise, and now fans may be getting some answers as Turner is opening up about what Fantasy Suite week could look like.

Fantasy Suite week is the week during the "Bachelor" journey that typically changes everything. If both the lead of the show and their contestant choose to forgo their individual rooms, they can stay together in the Fantasy Suite, where they even get some time to themselves without any cameras around.

For the upcoming 72-year-old "Golden Bachelor", Fantasy Suites may not look like what many Bachelor Nation members are used to seeing.

"I just think that a Fantasy Suite for someone of my age may look quite different," Turner told ET ahead of his "Golden Bachelor" journey. "The activities could be quite different than for someone in their 20s and 30s."

He went on to explain that the potential Fantasy Suite activities "really don't" make him nervous, adding that "they make my daughters a lot more nervous than me." The 72-year-old lead shares two daughters, Angie and Jenny, with his late wife, Toni, He is also the grandfather to two girls, Charlee and Payton.

Turner also recently spoke out on how week-to-week dates could look and compare to the "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" series, saying, “I would want that date to include some activities, so I know we could engage together. It’d be nice if it was an activity where I would know how well we could work together as a unit. A pickleball date or a golf date would be great. I think those things are kind of revealing of people’s character.”

“I’m kind of thinking an early date, where we could talk about priorities, we can talk about whether or not the person is interested in being married,” he added while on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “There’s many women my age that look at marriage and say you know, it’s kind of a complication, do we need to be married to be committed to each other? And it’s an interesting thought.”

72-year-old Gerry Turner is a “retired restaurateur and doting father and grandfather, Gerry [GAIR-ee] Turner lives in his dream house on a beautiful lake in Indiana,” according to ABC. “He’s often busy hosting barbecues, playing pickleball, cheering on his favorite Chicago sports teams, four-wheeling, and spending time with friends and family at restaurants and local haunts.”

ABC's press release continued, “Always a romantic, Turner married his high school sweetheart, Toni, in 1974. Together, they lived a full and happy life with their two daughters, Angie and Jenny, and later two granddaughters, Charlee and Payton. Sadly, after their 43 years together, Toni suddenly fell ill and passed away in 2017.”

“Six years after Toni’s passing and with the support of his family, Turner is ready to put himself out there and find a love that will stand the test of time in his golden years,” ABC concluded.

The 72-year-old recently said he is looking forward to the new chapter in his life, telling the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, “I want to enjoy every moment. I want to be able to make a mental note or write in a log book at night some of the high points of the day, and remember those moments. And if I can do that, it will be pretty fun.”

The new series will air this fall on ABC. An exact date has yet to be announced.
