With just two episodes left, fans are left very curious to see what will finally transpire in the fantasy suite and rose ceremony afterward.
The Golden Bachelor episode 8 - What to expect and Gerry's take on Fantasy suites
ABC officially unveiled the remainder of The Golden Bachelor on November 1, keeping fans on the edge of their seats by revealing the Fantasy Suites episode. Therefore, The Golden Bachelor episode 8 will see the top two contestants, Leslie and Theresa, try to win Gerry's heart in classic Bachelor Nation style.
Leslie Fhima, 64, is a fitness instructor hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, whereas Theresa Nist, 69, works as a financial services professional from Shrewsbury, N.J. Upon being asked about his fantasy suite dates on The Golden Bachelor episode 8 Gerry candidly confessed to his expectations, explaining -
"They would look quite different,"
He went on to explain on Bachelor Nation that despite his age, the possibility of staying overnight didn't worry him, but he also painted a real picture, saying -
"The activities could be quite different than for someone in their 20s and 30s,"
When quizzed further about the fantasy suites, ET learned that Gerry's children are far more apprehensive about his dates with Leslie and Theresa, as he revealed -
"They make my daughters (Angie, and Jenny) a lot more nervous than me,"
As per the producers' revelation to The Wrap, age doesn't imply one doesn't crave the same level of intimacy, so the makers encourage the ladies and Gerry to do as they desire without any pressure from the makers, viewers, or even their families. The Fantasy Suite episode aims to debunk the taboo around aging and sexuality.
