Our Take On Gerry’s Golden Bachelorette Appearance

It’s Joan’s Time To Shine

Joan’sGolden Bacheloretteseason has been full of good vibes and has been a healing journey for both Joan and her suitors. It’s been joyous and inspiring, butGerry brought down the mood. He was a reminder of all theBachelorfranchise shows' failures throughout the past few years. Gerry even asked if Joan had considered the possibility that her guy wasn’t there. It was a harsh reality check that brought fans out of the fantasy world of theGolden Bacheloretteand into the real world.

In addition,Gerry didn’t even mention Theresa by nameor their divorce. Instead, he made a vague comment in which he told Joan that she was at an advantage over him because she had considered that she might not find true love onThe Golden Bachelorette.This implied that Gerry had perhaps forced himself to find love, which was disrespectful to Theresa.

The Golden Bachelor TV Poster

Even though Joan and Gerry are friends in real life,The Golden Bachelorlead shouldn’t have appeared onThe Golden Bachelorette.Many fans were outraged that he was given more screen time after his disastrous season. Gerry might not be as terrible of a villain as some make him out to be, buthe also shouldn’t continue to be the face of theGoldenfranchise. Joan’sGolden Bacheloretteseason has the potential to save the show, and she’s the true hero.
