Gerry Turner, the inaugural Golden Bachelor, has captured hearts worldwide in his epic search for love on reality love.

But while all of us have been falling for Gerry and his sweet and genuine demeanor, has he fallen for any of the beautiful ladies who left vying for his heart?

The charming 72-year-old Bachelor spoke with Extra and admitted that the process has been getting harder and harder by the week, and taking a toll on his heart.

The final rose from Golden Bachelor Gerry

Gerry has been out of the dating game for the past 50 years, and now he’s suddenly jumped into the deep end of the dating pool with 25 stunning and accomplished women. They were all eager to see if they can find love with him.

“It’s incredibly difficult,” he shared. “There are moments when you look at it, and you go, ‘I’m just so overwhelmed. I don’t have the input to make the decision,’ and then there are moments that are just ridiculously fun.”

And yes, Gerry thinks he may have found “the one” but notes that it’s “still probationary.” It’s a healthy way of looking at it, considering he appears to have developed strong feelings for all the remaining ladies.

And they have strong feelings for him, too. Leslie, 64, is trying to remain hopeful that she will be the recipient of the final rose. She shared that he was amazing and “there’s a lot of chemistry between us. I’m crazy about him.”

Breaking all the rules

“It’s so hard for any one of the individuals to watch me go off with the others,” Gerry admitted. “I don’t think it’s jealousy, just more that their heart has become more and more committed and just wrenches them a bit to see that happen.”

And Gerry admits it’s easy to get swept away by emotions. He revealed that his own emotions have caused him to break all the rules his daughter laid down before the show — like kissing on the first date.

“The affection I’ve had for everyone here, the kisses are more on a joyous, celebratory level,” he explained. “Showing affection but not showing passion or lust. I think we’ve all been comfortable with our level of intimacy.”

So, who will get that final rose? We’ll have to wait and see.

The Golden Bachelor airs on Thursdays on ABC.

RHONY’s Erin Lichy Defends Husband Abe After He ‘Joked’ He Would Cheat On Her

During Season 14, Real Housewives of New York City stars Erin Lichy and Sai De Silva double-dated with their husbands. The ladies brought up Jessel Taank and Pavit Randhawa’s sexual drought. When asked what their husbands would do in that situation, Abe Lichy piped up and said, “I would f*ck other women. I’m just saying.”

And let’s not forget that Brynn Whitfield was dragged by Erin for flirting with Abe the Babe during their vow renewal. But Abe was flirting and laughing during the exchange. Did Abe catch any of Erin’s fury? Doubtful.

Erin and Abe spoke to The Daily Dish to clear up any misunderstandings about their marriage. Abe definitely wanted to address the “f*ck other women comment.”

“I know you, so to me it was funny and silly and like a joke, clearly, and I think to like our friends or anyone who knows you, it’s a joke. Because people don’t know you that well yet, like the Bravo fans, it seemed like, ‘Oh, so you’re going to cheat?'” Erin remarked.

Both Abe and Erin claimed that they were unaware of Jessel’s painful IVF journey. Abe said, “If we had known that, you know it would have been a completely different situation because the way it [was] being talked about was in that more playful way. Seeing the IVF struggles, I really felt for her, and I felt bad that it came off like that to her and that it might have hurt her.”

Erin explained that they would never want to criticize someone’s marriage. Did you watch this season, Erin? She stated, “It’s not something we would do. I think we’re being more playful with it and then I think got more real, you know, and once I saw that she was upset, I was like, ‘Oh my God,’ I never want her to be upset.” 

Viewers didn’t see enough of the real Abe

Abe also felt that RHONY viewers didn’t see a balanced picture of him, only snippets of “crass jokes.” He called the notion that he would cheat on Erin “ridiculous.” Abe said, “To see my reputation slandered like that was annoying because it’s just not who I am.” Then maybe you should watch what you say on camera? Just a thought.

“We’ve been together 13 years and we’ve been through a lot together and while we’re not, you know, perfect, as no couple is, we have a very strong relationship,” Abe stated.

He continued, “Our lives really do revolve around our family. We spend a lot of time with our children. On the show, there are all these little snippets of us, you know, how can we get away from the kids?” Abe said that the couple does enjoy spending some time alone together, but most of the time they spend hanging with their children.

TELL US – DO YOU FEEL LIKE ABE WOULD CHEAT ON ERIN? DO YOU AGREE THAT VIEWERS DIDN’T SEE ENOUGH OF ABE’S TOTAL PERSONALITY?

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney Discuss ‘Fresh’ Pump Rules Season 11

Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix are making moves, and more power to them. The two have had a rough go in the last couple of seasons of Vanderpump Rules. Between Katie’s divorce from Tom Schwartz and Ariana’s breakup with Tom Sandoval, the two had their hands full.

But like any good comeback story, the friends are attempting to turn tragedy into triumph. They made it clear that their exes wouldn’t leave them high and dry or in the dust.

So, since Season 10 ended, Ariana and Katie have stuck together like bark on a tree. Still, Season 11 has reportedly been the most difficult for any of the cast members to film thus far. Katie and Ariana have recently given some insight into the highs and lows of filming over the past year.

Katie admitted that returning to film VPR Season 11 was challenging. “I feel like it still felt really fresh. Even though it had been a few months,” she told OK!. She further reported, “Not enough life had been lived in between seasons.” With wounds feeling so fresh, Season 11’s may feel intensified.

On the other hand, without much more lived experience between seasons, things may feel similar to Season 10. Regardless, Ariana and Katie did have something to feel excited about going into Season 11—the progression of Something About Her. “It’s been great because we’ve had the same vision for what we want to accomplish and how we want things to be,” Ariana reported.

The pair also highlighted their desire to promote other female-led businesses. Ariana explained, “Whether it’s women-owned wine brands or any way we can incorporate that into our business, we’re definitely all about that because it’s very difficult to be taken seriously or to be given the opportunity as women in the business world.”

Vanderpump Rules Season 11 is expected to air on Bravo in early 2024.

Brynn Whitfield’s Obsession With Jenna Lyons Is Getting a Little Weird

Bravo/YouTube

Brynn Whitfield and Jenna Lyons were two of the new women featured on the Real Housewives of New York Season 14 reboot. While Jenna has since debuted a new girlfriend, both she and Brynn were among the few single cast mates at the start of the season. Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy, and Jessel Taank are all married, and while Ubah Hassan also started Season 14 single, she is now in a relationship as well.

Despite a season filled with drama and cattiness, Brynn and Jenna maintained a great friendship. However, at one point in the season, RHONY viewers began to pick up on some strange patterns in Brynn’s behavior toward Jenna. Brynn seemed to be more than obsessed with Jenna, and crossed the line with inappropriate comments on multiple occasions.

From odd comments on the Anguilla trip to a scandalous birthday party, here are all of the ways Brynn crossed the line with Jenna on RHONY Season 14.

Brynn Came Off Way Too Strong During The Anguilla Trip

The peak of Brynn’s flirtations with Jenna took place during the Anguilla trip, where she crossed the line one too many times. Things began when Jenna realized her robe had become slightly undone because of the wind, exposing more skin than she had intended to. In response, Brynn replied “Good morning Jenna” in a confessional, which came off just a little creepy.

Brynn made things even more uncomfortable when she decided to showcase her tongue trilling to the women. Jenna was intrigued, and asked Brynn how she was able to do it. In an effort to show her, Brynn asked Jenna to put her finger on Brynn’s tongue. This turned into Brynn full on sucking Jenna’s finger, which was just too much.

Later on during a boat ride, Brynn once again made her intentions very clear to Jenna. After Brynn proclaimed that she had “slammed pineapple juice” for both of them, Jenna asked when they would consummate things. This referred to the ongoing joke that Brynn and Jenna were going to get married, especially after both women wore white to dinner. Of course, Brynn used the opportunity to make a joke about that as well.

Getting back to the boat ride, Brynn told Jenna that she was going to “get her like she gets the rest of them.” When Jenna merely replied by saying thank you, it was evident that she was not as into things as Brynn was. Despite saying that Brynn was beautiful and that anything could happen, the flirtations appeared overwhelmingly one sided for Brynn. Brynn’s behavior on the Anguilla trip was just too much, even if she was not aware of it.

Brynn Did Not Act Much Better At Her Birthday Party

(Bravo/YouTube)

The RHONY Season 14 finale featured a full on birthday bash for Brynn, with a masquerade-themed party. Despite the theme of the evening, Jenna was one of the only guests to show up with a mask. Jenna showed up at the party with a woman she claimed was only her friend, although Brynn had some doubts. She explained that the invite encouraged guests to bring a plus one they were interested in. It was pretty clear Brynn was a little jealous!

Despite coming to the party with another woman, Jenna made it clear that she intended to give Brynn her birthday kiss after all. Brynn had been quite demanding about the kiss, but seemed excited when Jenna reciprocated the interest. Brynn suggested that she just wanted a small kiss, but requested another peck as soon as Jenna pulled away. This all took place in front of Jenna’s friend, who watched on from behind her mask. It was just a little awkward!

In a confessional following the kiss, Brynn gushed over the moment. She even went as far as to claim “it’s gonna happen whether she likes it or not,” referring to a potential relationship with Jenna. This comment was completely out of line, as no one should ever be forced into any kind of relationship or flirtation, whether it is serious or not. If Brynn values Jenna as a friend, then she should be considerate and take her feelings into account as well.

Teddi Mellencamp Explains Her ‘Issue’ With Sutton Stracke

At this point, it’s pretty clear that both Sutton Stracke and Teddi Mellencamp aren’t too fond of one another. It seems like the comment and react loop will keep going a little longer before it dies down.

It started when Teddi appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and seemed to insinuate that Sutton had a drinking problem. This, while shutting down the rumor that Sutton shared that PK Kemsley could have had another woman in his car when he was arrested for a DUI. This suggested he may have been unfaithful to Dorit Kemsley.

No love lost between Sutton and Teddi

During the show, Teddi responded to the bomb Sutton dropped in her confessional on the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She said that she heard a rumor that PK may or may not have had a woman in his car back in 2021 who was not Dorit.

Teddi quickly shut that down, saying, “Well, I think that’s pretty rich coming from Sutton, who has vodka in her purse 24/7.”

Of course, Sutton didn’t take too kindly to those comments (surprise, surprise!) and quipped that “Sutton” should have been WWHL’s Drinking Game Alert word of the night.

The real issue

When pressed further about her comments and general shady behavior toward Sutton by Tamra Judge, Teddi delved deeper.

“You were being a little shady towards Sutton last night,” Tamra said. “I was kind of cringing and biting my knuckles a bit.”

Teddi didn’t shy away from the question. “My issue with Sutton is that she continues to throw out allegations in her confessionals that she doesn’t say in the scene,” she explained.

She added, “And she is so worried about everybody else’s relationships … where’s hers?” I guess it’s a fair question. But, let’s be real! The reason she’s probably all up in everyone else’s relationship business is that she doesn’t have one of her own.

Tamra replied, saying, “Sutton doesn’t need a knight in shining armor because she has a horse.” A clear nod to Sutton’s tagline.

Well, I guess that’s one way of looking at it. I don’t think this little feud is going to die down soon, even without Teddi on the show.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 continues Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

PK Kemsley Facing Backlash After RHOBH Season 13 Premiere

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is certainly off to a rocky start. With so many separations ongoing, you can’t help but wonder if it should be called the Ex-Housewives of Beverly Hills. Now, PK Kemsley is facing a different sort of backlash following the RHOBH Season 13 premiere.

The latest couple to supposedly call it quits is Dorit Kemsley and PK. The news broke that they’ve split, and he is currently living in a hotel. The couple were quick to deny those rumors. It wasn’t this that got PK into trouble during the RHOBH premiere, however. Instead, it was his approach to a guest Dorit had invited to the home, in a bid to bring the ladies on the cast back together after a rocky year.

A bit of a rude welcome

During the RHOBH Season 13 premiere episode, Dorit, invited an intuitive healer to their home. The native alchemist introduced herself as Eaglewoman to the couple. She also brought along a friend, and both were greeted by Dorit and her husband, PK. 

When PK heard the name, he turned to the woman’s companion and asked, “Have you got a name like Eaglewoman as well?”

“I do,” the woman replied. “Blue Raven.”

And instead of politely acknowledging that, PK turned to his wife to almost troll their guests. “Blue Raven? Dorit, this is Blue Raven, also known as Nancy.”

Fortunately, Dorit knew him well enough to stop that in its tracks. She quickly stood between the guests and her husband to separate them and quickly said, “Sorry, I’m just going to apologize right now for my husband.”

And again, instead of just leaving it alone, PK doubled down and said, “Hey, that’s not right. I didn’t say anything wrong. I can’t believe you’re making excuses for me.”

“Well, I have to bubba, because I’m petrified what’s going to come out of your mouth,” Dorit replied. Can’t say we blame her.

Instead of just taking the hint, PK continued by saying, “I don’t know if I should call you Eaglewoman, Eagle, or just Woman.” To which the alchemist politely and awkwardly laughed.

PK put his foot in it

In a confessional later on, Dorit admitted that PK had a bad tendency to not think before speaking. “He has a habit of putting his foot right in his mouth … jamming it down his throat,” she explained.

And she wasn’t the only one upset by his attitude. Fans took to Reddit to share how they were appalled by his bad behavior and how he should be kinder to guests in his home.

“I was cringing,” one said. “This sweet lady and her culture/practices should not be a punchline. So disrespectful and hard to watch.”

Another said, “I feel bad for EagleWoman. She isn’t a character on this show, and this is her real profession.” 

Many more added that they couldn’t believe the level of ignorance in 2023 and how PK should have been more respectful to guests in his home and to the culture of others.

We feel for PK and Dorit, and it must have been very difficult shooting with your marriage on the rocks, but still, it was no excuse to be rude.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 continues Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
