'The Golden Bachelor': Meet the Women Competing for Gerry Turner's Heart
The Golden Bachelor premiere is finally here! ET has your look at the 22 lucky ladies who will be vying for Gerry Turner's heart on the inaugural season of the Bachelor spinoff.
The women who will be dating the 72-year-old retired restaurateur range in age from 60 to 75, and hail from Los Angeles all the way to New Jersey.
As for which lady will be able to snag Gerry's heart, the widower -- whose wife of more than four decades, Toni, died in 2017 -- previously told ET what he's looking for in a mate.
"I think the one thing I'm going to look for is that look in the eye. I've seen it before, and I know the feeling when it's there," he said. "If I see that, that's going to be the person that I'm going to probably pursue above others."
That special someone, Gerry said, will likely have "a great sense of humor, particularly something that is self-effacing."
"I think I'm going to be looking for someone who's sensitive, who's warm and kind," he added. "Someone who blends with me well, so that we feel a partnership... I felt it before in my life, and it's a very important factor."
