AceShowbiz - It's been a rollercoaster week for Gerry Turner. Airing on Thursday, October 26, the new episode of "The Golden Bachelor" saw the leading man going through reluctant goodbyes before he finally picked his final three.
The beginning of the episode saw Ellen, Theresa, Leslie and Susan doing the Hava Nagila in the pool. On the other hand, Sandra opted not to join them as she comfortably watched the ladies from a poolside couch.
A week before the Hometown Dates, most of the women were confident with their connection with Gerry. Faith, however, was anxious because she hadn't had a one-on-one date with him. Host Jesse Palmer made it worse when he announced that there would be only three women heading to Hometown Dates. Thankfully, the final one-on-one date went to Faith.
For the date, Gerry arrived to pick her up in a yellow Bronco convertible. The two then got into a helicopter, flying over the Hollywood sign and downtown Los Angeles. Faith almost passed out as she's afraid of heights, but things got better when they arrived in a luxury yacht in the ocean.
The two got flirty throughout the date and they even kissed while enjoying a glass of wine. "I always thought that if some point, I saw my person, I would get a sense of it," Faith said, "And when I looked at you I went, 'Oh my God, this could be my person.' "
At one point, Faith opened up about her rough childhood. "I lived a lot of time alone, like a homeless teen. I didn't have a mother and a father… That kind of childhood made me think, maybe there's something in me that's not whole," she shared. She noted that while she's happy now, her past left her trauma. Garry loved how Faith was willing to show her vulnerability and that was enough to present her with a rose.
After returning from the date, Gerry invited all the women to revisit their childhood as they gathered at the world-famous Santa Monica Pier. Everyone was having fun playing the games and enjoyed bumper cars.
Meanwhile, Theresa used the moment to tell Gerry that she's falling in love with him. While Gerry didn't reciprocate the L word, the two made out on the Ferris wheel. Gerry also had some time alone with Leslie on the Seaside Wing, where they reminisced about their ATV date.
Leslie told him that seeing him going on dates with other women hurt her as she was cheated on in the past. "You're not doing anything wrong. It was feelings that I obviously had because I wasn't chosen," she said in tears. Gerry tried to comfort her by hugging her.
Later, Gerry and Ellen went to get on the roller coaster. "I am absolutely falling head over heels in love with you. I can't wait to have my children, my best friend Roberta - I know they would adore you as much as I do," she told him.
When it was time for Gerry to reveal who got the group date rose, he said that he would give it to no one. "I can't do this. I can't. It's not something I can do. If I can go one more day and I can have a little bit of clarity, then I'll take the day," he told the women, who were all disappointed.
During the Rose Ceremony, Gerry was no longer be able to delay things. He had to give the final two roses and send three women home. He gave the first rose to Leslie, while the final rose went to Theresa. That meant Ellen, Sandra and Susan were eliminated.
