Gerry Turner, the original 'Golden Bachelor,' has finally spoken out about his experience on the show and his tumultuous relationship with Theresa Nist in a new book titled "Golden Years: What I've Learned from Love, Loss, and Reality TV."
In his memoir, Gerry shares an unfiltered look at what went down behind closed doors during his first season of 'Playing the Field' and his subsequent marriage to Theresa. He claims that Theresa manipulated him with her oversharing and lack of emotional intelligence, leaving him feeling trapped.
On the other hand, Theresa Nist has come forward to express her disappointment with Gerry's portrayal of their relationship in the book. She says she believed he loved her but clearly was misled by his behavior behind closed doors.
Gerry now finds himself engaged to Lana Sutton, a contestant from a previous season of 'Playing the Field.' It seems that after a long time trying to stay out of the spotlight, Gerry felt compelled to share his side of the story in an attempt to set the record straight.
The full extent of Theresa's feelings towards Gerry remains to be seen, but one thing is clear - only Gerry can speak to what truly happened on 'Playing the Field.'

. i mean, he had his time in the spotlight and made a choice to be there, so if people wanna judge him for it, that's their prerogative. but isn't it kinda rude of him to come out now and trash Theresa like that? didn't they used to be together or something? anyway, i'm more concerned about how this is gonna affect Lana 
. seems like Gerry just wanted attention again 
.
. But honestly, I think both of them are just trying to spin their side of the story to get sympathy or attention. Theresa's all like "Gerry manipulated me" but then again, she was on a show where people were basically competing for a husband 
? It seems like they both had some responsibility in what went down. And now Gerry's moving on with someone else... it just feels like a never-ending cycle of drama and PR stunts 
. Anyway, here are some stats that caught my eye:
.
. The way Theresa reacted though, it shows she's still got some emotional baggage from their relationship 
. It's all about setting the record straight now 
I'm kinda surprised Gerry decided to spill all the tea about his time on "Playing the Field" and his relationship with Theresa. I mean, it's like he was feeling really trapped and manipulated by her behavior... but at the same time, I can see how that would be really hurtful for Theresa. 
but on the other hand Gerry did seem kinda clueless during their time together 
. But at the end of the day, we'll never know what really went down behind closed doors 
. Guess only Gerry knows the truth, and he's not sharing it with anyone 
.
. Maybe this whole thing will be a good opportunity for us to have some real discussions about what really happens on these shows 
.
.
. Meanwhile, Gerry's moved on and found someone new, which is good for him 
. But honestly, can't we just leave reality TV drama alone and focus on real-life love stories instead? 
I'm curious to know if Gerry was just playing the field (pun intended) or if he genuinely felt trapped in his relationship with Theresa.
