00:00 Everybody's talking about the fantasy suites
00:01 that's coming up.
00:02 And the executive producer of the show was quoted as saying,
00:07 the phrase, "knockin' boots"
00:08 will be thrown around.
00:12 - Little bit.
00:13 - Would you like to tell me more?
00:15 - Well, so--
00:15 (audience laughing)
00:16 - The Golden Bachelor, Jerry Turner,
00:18 has teased what really happened
00:20 during the infamous fantasy suites.
00:23 This 72-year-old reality star
00:25 explained on the November 7th episode of Tamron Hall
00:28 what exactly went down between him and his final two ladies.
00:32 And it wasn't just, quote, "knocking boots."
00:35 - Everybody's talking about the fantasy suites
00:37 that's coming up.
00:37 And the executive producer of the show was quoted as saying,
00:42 the phrase, "knockin' boots"
00:44 will be thrown around.
00:47 - Little bit.
00:48 - Would you like to tell me more?
00:50 - Well, so--
00:51 (audience laughing)
00:54 Maybe it's a Texas euphemism for intimacy.
00:57 - Yeah, it's the euphemism for intimacy.
01:00 - Right, right.
01:01 But the misdirect is that that really wasn't
01:04 what those fantasy suites were for.
01:06 - Oh.
01:07 - I found the fantasy suites to be the perfect moment
01:12 to connect intellectually and emotionally with these women
01:15 where I couldn't have conversations
01:17 basically in front of our grandchildren.
01:18 - Yeah.
01:19 - Because when you're on camera and mic'd,
01:22 everything is in front of your grandchildren.
01:24 - Who will be in the fantasy suites with Jerry
01:26 is still a mystery.
01:27 As last week's episode ended on a cliffhanger,
01:30 the Golden Bachelor visited Leslie, Teresa,
01:32 and Faith in their hometowns.
01:34 And at the rose ceremony, Jerry first picked Leslie,
01:37 but then broke down in tears and had to walk away,
01:40 leaving it unknown whether he would choose Teresa or Faith.
01:44 Jerry revealed to Tamron elsewhere in his interview
01:46 that it was a very difficult choice at the time
01:48 because he was in love with all three women.
01:52 - Those three women I was in love with, or I loved them,
01:56 however you wanna say it, they were unique, genuine women.
02:00 And by the end of my journey, I realized, of course,
02:04 that only one of them was the woman I can't live without.
02:07 But--
02:08 - Well, that's 'cause, you know, I read that Trista Sutter,
02:11 the first Bachelorette, she told you,
02:13 "Don't look for the woman that you can live with.
02:16 "Look for the woman you can't live without."
02:18 - Exactly.
02:19 (audience applauding)
02:20 - I love that.
02:21 - Yes.
02:23 And I kept that top of mind as I went through the journey.
02:28 And again, it's like, I loved those three women.
02:31 They were unique, wonderful.
02:32 - You loved three women at the same time?
02:33 - Yeah, yeah.
02:35 I don't see--
02:36 - I think that's fine.
02:37 I'm team go for it.
02:39 - There's a level of affection that doesn't quite make it
02:44 to that person who you wanna spend the rest of your life with.
02:46 - Access Hollywood's Lauren Herbert's grandma,
02:48 Linda VanderGeest, and Lauren's mom,
02:51 Heidi VanderGeest Herbert, broke down the drama
02:53 from the "Hometown" episode and shared their hot takes.
02:57 - Knowing that, you know, he met the three people.
03:00 - Yes.
03:01 - Are you surprised at how it went so far?
03:04 - Yes, he, as usual, he started the crying
03:07 and didn't give out the rose.
03:09 - He does cry a lot.
03:10 - He cries a lot.
03:11 He cries a lot.
03:12 But he's such a sweet man and he's lucky.
03:14 - He is a very kind man.
03:15 - He just doesn't know what to do.
03:18 - This is a lot.
03:18 I mean, think about this.
03:19 You are on, you got cameras all around you.
03:23 You gotta figure out who you like,
03:25 but then you have to look at the personalities of the three.
03:27 - Yes.
03:28 - And I like the two.
03:31 - You like Leslie and--
03:33 - Faith.
03:33 - Yes.
03:34 - Yes, those are the two that I like.
03:35 - And I think he's scared of Teresa.
03:37 - Yes, yes.
03:38 Teresa, I feel bad for Teresa,
03:41 but I don't think she will be picked.
03:44 - I think that was the hard part about it.
03:46 - I think that's what happened.
03:46 - He was just so worried about it
03:49 because she is so vested and she is in love with him.
03:53 And I even think her daughter
03:55 was a little bit taken aback by it.
03:58 And I understand that.
03:59 I mean, that's kind of a lot to take in.
04:01 - Yes, her daughter was a little sad missing her father.
04:04 And then her mom was all about the bachelor.
04:07 I mean, it was like--
04:08 - A whole new thing.
04:09 - I'm in love.
04:10 She was married 43 years.
04:12 And that's all she saw was her mom and dad together.
04:14 - That's a lot.
04:16 - But I don't know how long Teresa's been widowed.
04:18 I know she was married 43 years like him,
04:21 but I do not remember how long she's been widowed.
04:23 - Okay, well.
04:25 - Yeah, she's in love.
04:26 She's in love.
04:26 - So what are you gonna do?
04:27 - And he doesn't wanna hurt anybody's feelings.
04:29 - I know, cheers to that.
04:30 - Yeah, cheers to that.
04:31 - You know, there should be a drinking game.
04:33 Every time Gary cries, you drink.
04:35 - Oh, Heidi.
04:37 - I know, I started something.
04:38 Thank you very much.
04:39 - Yes, and you're taking over my job.
04:42 - Oh dear, Laura may not have a job.
04:44 Hi there, everybody.
04:45 - Oh my God, oh my God.
