- I'm Gerry.
Tonight is the first day of the rest of my life.
- How lucky would I be
to find a second true love in my lifetime?
I've had one that was amazing, wonderful...
43 years of marriage to my high-school sweetheart.
- I married Toni in 1972.
- We had 43 wonderful years together.
We had a real typical but beautiful life,
full of love, full of activity.
And as years went on, I retired.
We had a plan,
and we had an idea
of what our dream house was going to be.
So, when Toni retired at the end of May in 2017,
we bought that dream house.
Closed on it on June 6th.
From June 6th on,
it didn't go according to plan at all.
You know, she became ill...
and her situation got worse over a couple of weeks.
It was July 7th,
and I said, Toni, we're going to the emergency room.
And so we went to the local emergency room...
and she had a bacterial infection.
At one point, I counted 13 IV bottles.
And I go, my God. What's going on?
That bacterial infection infected her kidneys,
infected her liver.
And so I took...
I took my wife to the emergency room on July 7th,
and she never came home.
And she passed away on July 15th.
Every time I look at that lake, I go, this is her dream.
This is what she deserves.
Why am I standing here alone?
It will be six years since Toni passed away.
No one's ever going to replace Toni.
- I love you, Dad. - Love you.
- Thanks, guys.
But the love of my daughters and my granddaughters
pulled me out of a dark spot.
- This isn't to replace her
but to just find somebody that makes you happy.
- I yearn for the second chance in life
to fall in love again.
The person who can lay down beside you at night,
not have to say anything, and you feel it...
That's love.
That's what I want.
I'm ready for that.
And I hope that person's out there.
- And now it is finally time
to meet the mysterious Golden Bachelor.
- You, essentially, are going to be
the representation
for what it looks like to date in your 70s.
- It feels amazing, and it's still sinking in.
Of all the men in the United States of America...
over a certain age, I'm the guy?
- We're all going to be watching.
- Yeah.
I mean, I'll be the first Bachelor
that's on Social Security.
- You will find your person. I believe in you.
- I hope so. - I hope you're right.
Come on. - Get in there. Get in there.
- You guys are so good. - Good luck, Dad.
- I love you all. - Good luck.
- We love you, too, Dad. You'll be great.
- I have a new start, a new hope
with 20-plus beautiful women.
- Cheers! - To Gerry!
- Gerry!
- I'm 71, and I'm your first Golden Bachelor.
It's all starting now.
If I can find someone now
to spend the rest of my life with,
I couldn't be any happier, couldn't be any luckier.
It's pretty fantastic.
I mean, I am ready.
The excitement in the air, it's palpable.
I can't believe it's finally here.
Thank you.
- The man of the hour has arrived.
- Jesse, how are you tonight? - I'm doing fantastic.
You look great, sir.
- Thank you very much. So do you.
- Glad you found the place. - Yeah.
- So how the heck are you feeling right now?
- I'm feeling a little anxious and a little nervous.
I'm not going to lie. - What's making you nervous?
- Well, I'm going to meet the woman of my dreams
very shortly.
I hope I recognize her, number one.
So it's huge.
- Listen, man, I'm really excited.
I'm curious tonight.
But more than anything, Gerry, I'm rooting for you.
- Thank you. - The moment's finally arrived.
First limo's going to be pulling up right now.
- My goodness. - Let the journey begin.
- Good luck, sir. - See you later.
- We're here! - We're here!
- I hope you're ready.
- My heart is beating so fast.
Gerry!
- Wow.
- Gerry, we're here.
- I'm excited.
- I hope you're ready.
- We're coming for you.
- My heart is beating so fast.
Gerry!
Wow.
How are you this evening?
- I'm doing great, Gerry.
My name is Edith,
and my heart has just been waiting to meet you.
I'm so excited to be here.
- Edith, it's good to meet you.
Thank you very much. - It's good to meet you.
- You look lovely. - Thank you.
How are you feeling?
- You know, we just made history.
You're the first woman out of the limo,
and I'm the first Golden Bachelor.
- I know. I'm so excited to take this journey.
- Thank you. - These are two confettis.
Let me give you one. - Okay.
- And then we're going to start the party.
Okay.
Well, that sounds good. - Okay, one, two, three.
Ooh!
That's awesome.
Thank you.
- I am so excited.
I've been waiting so long just to get to meet him.
It was so magical.
And we started it with a bang.
- Roberta, we made it!
- Dare I ask, who is Roberta?
- You definitely can.
My name is Ellen.
I'm 71 years old.
My friend Roberta and I have been
best friends for 60 years.
She has cancer, and it's been difficult.
Being a big fan of "Bachelor," "Bachelorette"
brings us together.
So we collectively made the decision that,
you have to do this.
- I love you, and I wish you the best of luck.
- I love you, too.
Is it exciting?
My God. It's exciting.
Yeah.
I think Gerry is very handsome.
He's got a lot of spunk,
and I really like the fact that Gerry likes pickleball.
So I'm not going to let this time pass me by, no way.
He could be the one.
Buckle up. We're on our way, Gerry, okay?
Ellen, you are great.
Thank you for that.
We'll get to know each other.
- We definitely will. - Okay.
- Have a good time. - Thanks, Ellen.
Wow. Lovely woman.
Good evening. - Good evening.
Hi, Gerry.
- How are you? - I'm great.
I'm Sandra, from Atlanta.
- Good to meet you. - You too.
I'm awfully nervous.
You know what I do when I get nervous?
I have this Zen practice.
So I'm gonna do that right now, if you don't mind.
- Yeah. - Okay.
I take a couple of breaths.
Okay, I feel better. How about you?
- Very therapeutic. - Yes.
I'm a woman who speaks her mind.
And I try like heck to filter myself.
I like some of those F words and S words
that a lot of people would say...
But that's who I am.
At my age, I'm energetic.
I'm still connected with my body
that I want intimacy with a guy.
And since I really haven't been in love in a long time,
I really do need someone to step into my golden years with.
- Do you need help?
- Do I look like I need help?
- You don't look like you need help at all.
- Hi, Gerry.
I'm Leslie.
I'm 64 years old, and I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I am a fitness instructor, dancer, choreographer.
Fun fact... when I was younger, I dated Prince,
and he wrote "Sexy Dancer" about me.
I have really good friends and family,
so my life is really full.
But it's missing a big piece... love.
Ironically, I was married twice for seven years.
So I haven't had a lifelong partner,
but I'm so ready for it.
I mean, when I found out Gerry was the Bachelor,
I'm like, move over, bitches.
No, just kidding.
I want to know, do you like to dance?
- I am not any good at it, but I like to dance.
- Okay, come on. - Right.
- Yeah. - Come on.
You're so good already. I can tell.
- Yeah. - You're just a sweet talker.
That's all you are. - No, no, no.
- I'm amazed.
I had certain expectations for this part of the night,
and those expectations are just blown away.
- I am Marina. How are you, Gerry?
- Marina, it's a pleasure to meet you.
- I'm Christina. - Christina, good to meet you.
- I'm Joan.
I am so excited to be here and equally as terrified.
- I see you're holding on pretty tight.
- I am. I know.
- The women are just full of energy.
- Yes.
- I really see the desire from these women to meet me.
- When I first saw you on "Good Morning America,"
I could not breathe for two hours.
- Now, you have to close your eyes.
Thank you.
- I see that smile, that gleam in the eye.
- Your smile in your eyes, that tells me everything.
You noticed that?
- That's the first thing I always notice.
- And I'm seeing the intangibles
that I'm looking for.
- I, too, wear a little ear candy behind my ear.
Sweet.
I mean, they're all beautiful women,
so tonight is... We're staying up all night,
if that's what I need to do.
Hi.
- I'm Nancy.
Hi, Nancy.
- How do you feel?
- Can't believe I'm here. - I know.
- My God. - I want to pinch myself.
He is so handsome.
- I got to give him a kiss.
I just wanted to drink him in.
He is absolutely a doll.
- My daughter said to tell him he's dope.
- The women are amazing.
Everybody looks really, really good.
- Hi. - Good evening.
- We're all breaking the stereotypical view
of what a senior looks like or acts like.
- I have a birthday tonight, so I thought,
why not come in my birthday suit?
- Um, all right.
I know where this is going, but...
- I have a birthday tonight, so I thought,
why not come in my birthday suit?
- Um...
My goodness.
- I couldn't do that. I've got six grandsons.
My name is Theresa.
I live in Shrewsbury, New Jersey.
And I feel like I'm at the best part of my life.
I love to garden, and I love to play with my grandsons.
I cannot believe I'm 70.
I feel like I have so much more life to live.
It's been almost nine years since my husband passed away,
and I want to be in love again.
It would be so amazing if Gerry fell in love with me
and I fell in love with Gerry.
It's so, so, so nice to meet you.
- Thank you. That was nice. Happy birthday.
- Thank you. - All right.
- Gerry really has his hands full tonight.
Everybody has their own thing,
but I'm confident mine will be truly memorable.
- My name is April, and I grew up on a chicken farm.
And my eggs are still very fresh.
- I am 65, and I hate saying that,
because aging sucks.
I am eccentric.
Normal's so boring. Really?
Here they come. They know my voice.
Bah.
I love chickens. I love ducks.
I really want to be madly in love,
because I had it before.
Actually, I've been blessed, though.
I've had three men really, really love me.
I like somebody who is playful
and who keeps me on my toes.
- I mean, at the end of the day,
you want something, and you go for it.
And how far will you go to get what you want?
Hi. How are you?
- You have an Easter basket?
- I did the whole chicken dance.
- Tonight is getting crazy.
This little, tiny blonde thing rolls in
with the Easter Bunny basket filled with eggs,
you know, clucking or something.
- I mean, this is your one shot,
so everyone's coming to get his attention.
Golden Gerry, you're my man.
Looking golden with that tan.
Hope to bring you lots of luck,
'cause I'm the girl you want to...
marry.
- These people come with their A-game with creativity.
I came in creatively, walking.
- Do you like to dance? - I do.
- You do a little of this?
- A little of this. - Very good.
- Ultimately, there's only going
to be one woman that Gerry chooses,
so I'm hoping he likes my blue dress enough.
- So I had an idea. - Okay.
- Since we're both adventurous, right?
- Yes.
- I say we get the hell out of here.
Let's go.
- I mean, these women are lovely women.
Each person thinks they're the one.
Unfortunately for them, they don't know I'm the one.
- Gerry, I'm going to marry you.
It looks like you are dressed for the wedding.
- There's so many women and just one man.
Everybody's got to put their best foot forward.
And trust me, I will, too.
And by the way, Gerry, you see these heels?
- Yeah.
- I'm very comfortable with 6 inches.
Hi, everybody.
- I love your dress. - All right, girl.
All right, now.
- This is exciting...
The different dresses, the different energy.
- Yes!
- All the fun things that women like to do, and...
They're on display.
- I want you to know that I think
this can work because my son was the Bachelor Matt,
and he fell in love.
- I hear that your celebrity crush is Penelope Cruz.
- It is. - Well, here I am.
- My mother, at the age of 70, found love and married.
So I believe it can happen for us.
- It's nice to see women that enjoy how they feel
in their skin at this stage in life
and that are ready to bring it.
Are we there?
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- I'll see you in hell.
Hello.
Are you coming with me? Am I by myself?
Are you the unluckiest guy in the world or what?
- No, I am not.
How are you this evening? - I'm great.
How are you? - I'm good.
- Good. You must be lying about your age.
- No. - I was curious.
I said to my nephew, I said,
it's got to be one in a million... I want to meet him.
He said, okay, you got it.
- Who's your nephew?
Jimmy Kimmel.
- I'm Aunt Chippy. I'm Jimmy Kimmel's aunt.
I said, I would like to meet the Bachelor.
And he seems very friendly.
- Hello. Welcome. - Hi.
- My God. - Hi.
- Good to see you.
- This ain't no 80-year-old club, that's for sure.
- Now the party has started.
- Let me tell you something... I don't belong here.
Those ladies are really something.
Look at this one. Whoa.
- I know. - I'm in the wrong place.
- Maybe everybody wants a shot at the Golden Bachelor.
I think we are all in for one hell of a ride tonight.
- That sounds like a motorcycle.
- My God. - My God.
- I cannot... - My God.
- That's amazing.
Yes.
- My... - That's impressive.
- There's no way she's over 60. - Wow.
Hi.
I got to just hug you right off the bat.
You did a nice job there. Well done.
- Thank you.
- Well, I'm proof that you can live fast and not die young.
And if you leave here with me,
it'll be the ride of your life.
- I'm Faith.
I'm 61 years old,
and I always refer to myself as a fun monger.
Whoo-hoo!
If it looks fun, I want to do it.
Come skate with me, Gerry.
I was married for 21 years, and I was divorced in 2005.
Older women, it's taken us a lot of years
to figure out what it is we want.
But if my heart is truly attracted to somebody,
all the other things fall into place.
We may not be as tight-skinned or as in good a shape,
but, I mean, I'm not dead yet.
- All right, man, met all the women.
How you feeling now?
- My life got a lot brighter in the last hour or two.
Those were pretty amazing ladies.
- Welcome to "The Golden Bachelor."
- I'm so happy to be here.
- All these beautiful women. - I know.
- It's so inspiring to be around women
that have been through life and want to experience more.
- I mean, we're raising the bar.
Gerry, I hope you're ready.
There are a lot of wonderful women here.
We have a lot to say.
And we are a force.
- Cheers to another good decade of really good love.
- Gerry is hot and handsome,
but he is so down to Earth and warm... I can tell already.
- He has a great sense of humor.
And I think I made him laugh a little bit.
- I'm excited that I get a chance to meet
all these wonderful ladies.
They're all so beautiful, so that's kind of hard.
- These women are drop-dead gorgeous.
They have wonderful personalities.
They're smart. They're witty.
But I'm ready to go. Let the games begin.
Isn't that what we're all here for...
To find love?
- All right, well, Gerry, you've met
a lot of extraordinary women tonight.
You think maybe you've met the woman that you'll spend
the rest of your life with?
- There were a couple that really got my attention.
The smile is one thing,
but when the smile gets up to the eyes...
- You just can't fabricate that.
It just happens in the moment. - It's an intangible.
When you see it, you know it.
- All right, we'll get ready for a night that none of us
are ever going to forget.
- Why don't you head on in there, Mr. Golden Bachelor?
- Hey, thanks for the encouragement.
- The night is yours.
- Bonne chance.
Watching all the women arrive today
was the most fantastic experience
that I will ever have.
Every door that opened was like the best Christmas ever.
There he is.
- There's been a lot of surprises tonight,
and I'm sure there'll be many more surprises
in the days to come.
Good evening, everybody.
Thank you, Theresa. - You're welcome.
- Get comfortable. By all means, get comfortable.
I was standing out front just now,
and it occurred to me that I'm way more nervous
about this speech than any one I've ever given before.
I thought I had it nailed, and then I met all of you,
and it's like...
That's all out the window.
I mean, in this room,
there is beauty and poise and intellect.
You've really inspired me.
So I would like to propose a toast to all of you.
Let the journey begin.
- Let the journey begin.
- This is the most I've smiled in, like, forever.
It means so much to me to have this second chance at love.
I really need to get time with Gerry tonight.
I can't wait.
- Gerry, can I talk to you for a minute?
- Absolutely. It'd be my pleasure.
- And so it begins.
- I thought she said she never saw the show.
- What happens now?
- I made you this.
- Okay. - Now, this is me.
I was raised on a farm. Here's my sheep.
There's April as an Easter Bunny.
- What happened to January and February?
- It's all April. - All April. Look at this.
- Every woman's a little mystical.
This is... - You have that mystical look.
You have the "figure me out."
- I'm a therapist.
- Have you spent the last few minutes analyzing me?
- Yeah, you're a very nice guy. - Okay.
- I'm a flirt, but it's been 20 years for me.
I need to get back into my game.
It's like remembering who I am and who I was before,
a caretaker and a matriarch.
I hope he felt a spark talking to me.
- So what do you think Gerry and...
What are they talking about? - Are talking about?
- Yeah. - I don't know.
But I think it's long enough. - It's been quite a while.
- I can't wait to get to know him.
- Yeah, that's the hard part, is hoping that we get
time enough to really get to know him, you know.
- You really saved me today.
I was so excited to meet you,
so my emotions were here and there.
And you just grounded me.
And I just said, this is going to be great.
I am a believer in, you know, finding love.
And why not?
- See, that makes me feel really good,
because one of the things
I wanted to always talk about is, never give up.
It's so true.
My friend Roberta, who's going through a rough time right now,
she's... I said, I don't know if I could do this.
And she said, never say never. - Yep.
- And I think we're capable at this age to do it.
And I think everybody's entitled to love and be loved.
- You're pretty passionate about this.
- I am. - You have my attention.
- I do? - Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. - I'm so glad.
He said to me, Ellen, you have my attention.
I am listening.
And I felt like I hit the moon.
I haven't felt this giddy and excited
in years.
It is...
the best day of my life in so long.
It's amazing that Roberta is watching this now
and living this with me.
Roberta, he's a hunk!
- I'm going to do an introduction laughter with you.
When I laugh, you laugh with me.
Hi. My name is Natascha.
- Hi, my name is Gerry.
- Gerry is in great shape.
I'm not going to need to resuscitate him
if we have an intimate moment.
First of all, the chant.
- Were you okay with that?
- Caught me off guard a little bit.
- Caught you off guard? - Sorry.
- That was a fair reaction.
Okay, then.
- You know what? - What?
I didn't say.
I am attracted to Gerry. I'm claiming him.
He's definitely golden.
- My daughter sent me a message.
She said to tell you that you're dope.
I'm dope.
My granddaughter told me I had rizz.
- I like Gerry's presence.
He has beautiful blue eyes. I could swim in them.
- If you were able to turn on a song right now,
what would it be?
- "At Last." - Get out.
- Why? - That's my favorite slow song.
- Nuh. - It is.
- Gerry is so handsome.
I've checked out every last inch of him.
He's got a beautiful smile.
He's just perfect.
- So, yeah, I got to tell you, when I got off the motorcycle,
I was petrified.
And I looked at you, and all of a sudden,
I felt so much calmer, so thank you for that.
- Good. You're really very attractive.
- Thank you. So are you.
I want to play a little bit of a song for you, okay?
- I can't wait.
- It goes something like this.
There's something very calming about Gerry.
I feel like he's just got such a calm, peaceful demeanor.
- That was a gorgeous song. - Thank you.
- You had me right from the get-go.
- So what do you see?
I mean, what do you want your 30 years to look like...
Or however many years?
- A little bit of this would be just about right.
- Yeah? That's nice.
- And you're looking pretty deep right now.
- Well, I love that about your eyes.
I could sense that peace in you.
And I need that in my life, too... I really do.
You can be completely honest with him,
and he's so reciprocal, and he listens very well.
I recognize that that's something that I want.
- I'm Leslie. - Yes, Leslie.
I do remember. - No.
It's just that you have so many people to remember.
- I also remember the dress.
The women that I have met tonight are poised.
They're elegant.
Every one of them exudes a youthful spirit.
And that is really the most exciting thing to me.
Yeah.
- You got it.
- Look at you.
- Tonight has been a really wild ride.
I didn't expect to build connections here so quickly,
but it's working.
- I feel hopeful.
I believe my forever partner is in this house.
Gerry, Gerry, Gerry.
- Nobody has fun like we have fun, right?
- You look beautiful. I love your dress.
Everyone's so pretty.
- Your hair looks so great.
- Your earrings are really gorgeous.
- So far, tonight everybody is just so excited to be here.
The women have been such a delight,
but I'm here for one reason, and that's Gerry.
- Hey. - He has the rose.
- Good evening, everybody. - My gosh.
- Hey.
- You ladies all look magnificent tonight.
Is everybody having fun? - Fantastic.
- Yeah. - Fantastic.
I have something for Gerry.
- Leave that right there. - Turn up the heat.
- First Impression Rose.
- And I hope you all enjoy the rest of your evening.
- Thank you. - Thank you, Jesse.
- Wow. - There's only one?
- That's the First Impression Rose.
It's going to the woman who he is most impressed with.
- And if you get it, you stay.
- Yeah. That's the most important thing.
That's true. - Yes.
- Do you think we're going to get some time with him?
- Like, who hasn't gone yet? - I haven't gone yet.
- You haven't gone yet.
There is a rose there now.
It brings, like, a different element into the room,
because tonight is really about getting a rose.
It's about making an impression on Gerry.
- Okay.
Hoo! - Good shot.
- And some people plan their whole evening
around hoping to get that First Impression Rose.
- I'm Jeanie, and I have a little gift for you...
A genie lamp.
As a real genie, I can grant a wish.
It's the first night, and that's important.
Like, you'll get the first rose ever from the Golden Bachelor.
- He must be talked out.
Like, he's had to talk to so many people.
The night is almost over,
and I haven't gotten a chance to talk to Gerry.
And we were sitting there
looking at this First Impression Rose,
and I started getting a little bit nervous.
I seriously want to be in love again.
- I do, too. - I just want to be in love.
Every woman who comes away from speaking with Gerry
feels great about it.
It feels like they've gotten his full attention.
I want that feeling.
- You guys... - Knock him dead, girlfriend.
- Good. - Thank you so much.
I really hope I get a rose tonight.
I want to stay.
- Want to sit down a minute? - Yes. I'd like to.
- Great. - So I'm dressed.
- Yeah. - I have...
- Well... - Well, partially.
I was...
- Yeah.
- I was holding my breath earlier, you know?
- Did you really think?
- I mean, I'm new to this. You never know.
- I know you have two beautiful daughters.
- I do.
- And my daughter Jenny wrote me something
before I came here. - Aw.
- I wanted to read it to you.
"Dear Mom, this is going to be
"such an amazing experience.
"I can't believe I won't be able to talk to you every day
"and I won't be able to tell you
when you have food in your teeth."
- It sounds like you and your daughters
are very similar to the relationship
- I have with my daughters. - Yes. Yeah.
- I have a little something for you.
- You do? - Yes.
- That's so nice. Thank you.
- All right, I'll be right back.
Can you stay right here? - I'll stay right here, yes.
- All right.
My God, t's been such a long time
since I've felt butterflies like this.
And it's such a good feeling.
- No. - No.
- Wow. - Aw.
That's so nice.
- Be careful about the wish. - Yes.
- I want you to think really hard.
- I don't have to think hard. I don't have to think hard.
I know what it is. - Okay. All right.
You ready? - Yes.
- All right.
Okay. Yay.
- All right, so, if I were to just take a bite of that
and have a whole bunch of icing...
- Yes. - You know, like this...
- Yes. - Would you help clean it up?
- Yes, I would. - Would you?
- My God, do that. - Do that.
- Well, I mean, this is your birthday cake, though.
- Yes. Go ahead. Go for it.
- How does it look? - It looks so good.
It's been forever since I've kissed a guy,
and it felt incredible.
It was just so good.
- All right, happy birthday. - Thank you so much.
That was the best birthday gift ever.
- I feel like I got the present.
- Aw.
It's been an amazing 70th birthday.
I never imagined in a million years
that this is where I would be.
I feel that we made a connection.
I'd be very surprised
if I don't get the First Impression Rose.
- And here he is. - And here he is.
He's right here. - Yeah.
- Ladies, do you realize this is the latest
I've ever been up in my whole life?
Ditto.
- We are all in the same boat.
- Absolutely.
- I hope to see you all soon.
Aw.
- He took the rose. He took the rose.
- There's the man himself that we're all talking about.
Hey.
- Hi, Gerry.
- Faith, could you come with me?
- I would love to come somewhere with you.
My gosh.
- She's getting it. - Yeah.
- So, Faith...
you know I'm holding the First Impression Rose.
- I learned about the First Impression Rose
just recently.
- This is the first rose that I will hand out.
And I want you to know that you made this impression
not because you rode in on a motorcycle,
not even because you have a beautiful voice
and you sang a song to me,
but because of what you're doing right now.
You're making me feel very special.
Faith, would you accept this rose?
- I really would love to accept this rose.
Thank you so much. That's so sweet.
Thank you.
To me, this rose represents hope...
Hope that we can create something beautiful together,
and that's the beginning.
And I felt so special.
They're kissing.
- I know. - Look.
- I don't want to look.
- Okay.
- I think it would be really hard
for anybody who does go home tonight
because we were all so happy to be here.
- I am sending vibes... Sandra, Sandra.
- I cannot go home tonight. I didn't get a chance.
If this hen doesn't get the rose tonight,
there's going to be a lot of hell raising in the henhouse.
- The Rose Ceremony is about to start.
It's been a long night. I'm tired.
My contacts are hurting.
My hair is starting to fall. I mean, this is stressful.
I hope I'm what Gerry is looking for.
I definitely felt a spark,
but I didn't even get to, you know, first base.
- I want you to know how grateful I am
that you're all here and you've started this journey with me.
I also know that this is working
because tonight I felt connections
with a number of you.
Unfortunately...
this is something that I have dreaded doing
for many months.
It's difficult to look at women as wonderful as you
and know that not all of you will be here tomorrow.
Ellen...
Ellen, will you accept this rose?
- Absolutely. Thank you.
- I am so nervous.
My stomach and my heart
just feels like they're going to come out of my chest.
- Theresa.
Theresa, will you accept this rose?
- Absolutely. Thank you so much.
- Tonight I felt a connection.
I'm just hoping that I get a rose.
- Joan.
Natascha.
- Gerry's handing out roses,
and I'm trying to put my name into his mouth.
You know, look at me, Gerry.
Say Kathy.
- Leslie.
Christina.
- Excuse me.
- Edith.
- And he's saying each name, and it's not Kathy.
- Nancy.
April.
Thank you, God.
- I'm really trying to laser-focus on his eyes.
Do you remember my name, Gerry? It's Kathy.
- Sandra, will you accept this rose?
- Indeed. Thank you.
- Each rose that he gives, my heart is pounding harder.
I'm getting a little weaker in the knees.
- Jeanie, will you accept this rose?
- With pleasure.
- I cannot go home tonight.
When I look into his eyes and his smile, it radiates.
And I felt a connection, for sure.
So I want a rose.
- Kathy.
Kathy, will you accept this rose?
- Absolutely. Thank you.
- I am so nervous.
I haven't heard my name yet.
And I'm looking, and I'm thinking,
there's so many beautiful women.
- Marina.
Will you accept this rose? - Absolutely.
- If my second chance for love ends tonight,
I would be greatly disappointed
because I believe there's a little crush.
I thought he was really cute.
He's just perfect.
- Peggy.
Peggy, will you accept this rose?
- Absolutely.
- I mean, really, how often does a person my age
get a second chance for love?
I want that.
- Ladies, Gerry,
it's the final rose this morning.
- I am not ready to go home right now.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not ready.
I'm hoping that I showed him enough of me.
Give me the rose, damn it.
- Susan.
Susan, will you accept this rose?
- I will. Thank you.
- Ladies, I'm sorry,
but if you did not receive a rose,
please take a moment and say your goodbyes.
- Bye. - Good luck, you guys.
- Have a wonderful time.
- I'll be cheering for you. - Thank you.
- All right. - Thank you so much.
- There are some very sad moments in front of me.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- And good luck with everything.
- The rose ceremonies will get more and more difficult.
- Gerry, I wish you the best. - Thank you.
But I can't wait
for the next chapter of this journey to evolve.
Wow.
That was a tough night.
There are 16 beautiful, poised, elegant women here.
I'm thrilled about that.
But what I'm most looking for is to get to the next layer.
- Gerry, you are amazing.
It's the consensus. You are amazing.
You made us feel really special,
and we're really happy you're here.
- My end result is to find my forever partner.
Here's to you, ladies. Here's to you.
And I feel hopeful.
- This season on "The Golden Bachelor"...
- Whoo!
- Stop looking for the woman that you can live with...
And start looking for the woman
that you just can't live without.
- I'm falling in love with you, Gerry.
- The last time that someone said those things to me
was my wife of 43 years.
I never thought I would see it again,
and I'm seeing it and feeling it
with more than one person.
You made it sound like you chose me.
- I can't keep going like this.
- I just don't have the connection that I did.
I'm sorry.
- My God. - How is this happening?
Boy, is going to hit the fan now.
- The only time I've ever felt worse in my whole life
is when my wife passed away.
And this is a god close second.
I'm done.
- Anyone watching this will see that we are real people...
This is the month that my husband died.
- That have had really hard things happen in our lives.
- We both have hope, like, where there wasn't any.
- You don't stop believing.
Look at this.
- I'm in this journey to find my next true love.
- I'm not falling. I am in love with you.
- Whoo.
And now there is someone falling in love with me
as much as I am falling in love with them.
- I do love you, Gerry.
- What more of a fairy tale could a guy live through?
Here's to a long life together.
Aunt Chippy.
Hi. - Hi.
- Are you doing okay? - Did I get a rose?
- No, you slept through the Rose Ceremony.
Unfortunately, you didn't get one.
- Did I at least get a petal?
- All the stems, all the petals have been handed out.
I'm so sorry..
All right. I'm going to go.
- Did you have a good nap at least?
- I did.
I'm going to take the couch home.
