Gerry Turner Snubbed; No Invite to ‘The Golden Bachelor’ Reunion Dinner
Susan Noles is keeping up with the women who she competed against on The Golden Bachelor. She’s spent the year since the competition traveling, making memories, and sharing her insights with the world. She even appeared to maintain a relationship with the man who refused to give her another rose in the dating competition. Noles has always been a Gerry Turner defender. It seems like the shine might be off the septuagenarian for Noles now, though. While Noles defended him and his divorce from Theresa Nist, she isn’t into hanging out with him in a group. Noles recently revealed that she is hosting a little The Golden Bachelor reunion, but the actual golden bachelor is not welcome.
Susan Noles won’t be hosting Gerry Turner for dinner
Susan Noles has used her time on The Golden Bachelor to make some great friends. She is happy to welcome her former competition into her home for a meal. Noles is even interested in hosting Gerry Turner’s daughters at her Pennsylvania home. She won’t be serving up a plate for Turner, though.
Us Weekly caught up with Noles recently to discuss all things Bachelor Nation, and she happily revealed she has some significant plans with her former competitors. She said she’d be hosting Joan Vassos for dinner one evening. She was planning a reunion with Gerry Turner’s two daughters, too. Still, Turner’s name isn’t on the guest list. When asked about Turner, Noles joked that there were “no men allowed.”
Sparks between Turner and Noles never really flew, and she was eliminated from the competition in week 5. Noles and Turner didn’t make a love connection. Still, she was certainly a fan favorite. She has turned her time on TV, however fleeting, into an entirely new career.
Susan Noles doesn’t blame Gerry Turner for the golden divorce
Noles isn’t open to the idea of serving Turner a meal in her home. Still, she doesn’t blame him for his divorce from Theresa Nist. While most of the internet turned on Turner following the divorce news, insisting that he played the contestants and kept secrets from Nist ahead of their marriage, Noles insists that wasn’t the case.
During an interview for The Jess Cagle Show, Noles defended Turner, suggesting that Nist might not have been so honest with him herself. Noles theorized that Nist agreed to give up her career and move to South Carolina with her new husband but refused to do it when the time came. Noles suggested Turner had gotten, understandably, frustrated. She blamed the divorce squarely on Nist, who she reportedly still speaks to.
