Gerry Turner questions his decision. Thursday night’s episode of The Golden Bachelor saw the 72-year-old retired restaurateur dating Leslie and Theresa in Fantasy Suite, after which he told cameras he made his decision between the women.

He appears to be hesitant, however, in a preview of the season finale, shown at the end of the episode. The premiere begins on a happy note, as Gerry says in a confessional: “I’m going to propose to the woman I love and the woman I want to start a whole new life with. It’s going to be an epic day. that I went through all this to benefit from it.”

There are still many other things Gerry has to go through to get to this happy moment, as he sobs about how he “took a very good person and broke their heart.”

Leslie and Theresa have the opportunity to meet Gerry’s daughters, during which the former describes him as “the man of my dreams” and the latter admits that she is “absolutely in love” with him.

“I think I made a mistake,” Gerry says in the preview. “The only time I felt worse in my whole life was when my wife died, and that’s a close second.”

He goes even further, telling the cameras: “If I had known how much pain I would cause someone, I would have never taken the first step on this journey.”

Gerry has previously spoken about his feelings for several women in a meeting with ET, saying, “When you’re down to the last two people on that much time and that much investment, you really have strong feelings for them even though you know they’re not the right person. They’re so close to You’re connected so deeply and then you realize they have to leave. It’s, oh my god, it was an incredibly bad situation.”

Then, when ET spoke with Gerry during the taping of “Women Tell All,” he promised that fans will be “amazed” by its finale.

“You’re going to see something that’s never happened before,” he teased. “I think you will be as moved as I was at the time.”
