The Golden Bachelor fans slammed heartbreaker Gerry Turner’s visit with Joan Vassos, stating that he “damaged” the leading lady’s Golden Bachelorette season. Joan got her start on Gerry’s Golden Bachelor season, but she had to leave early due to a family emergency. Gerry later got engaged and married to Theresa Nist, but their marriage only lasted three months because they couldn’t decide where to live because they didn’t want to leave their families. However, Gerry and Joan remained good friends, and he appeared on The Golden Bachelorette season 1 to offer her some advice.
