Gerry Turner looking for someone with a heart of gold.
And while fans wait for The Golden Bachelor to premiere on September 28, Jesse Palmer teases what to expect on the first night from both the 72-year-old leading man and the women vying for his heart. Spoiler alert: It sounds like things got off to a rosy start.
“One of the things I really enjoyed about this group of women? “They’re a lot more confident when they step out of the limo on the first night – unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” Jesse told E! News in the exclusive interview. “It’s always the arrival in the limo, the nerves getting out, cameras, the villa, everything. Because they lived life.” [and] They have had experiences, they are rock stars – all season long. They simply shine at group meetings, one-on-one meetings and when traveling.”
But don’t expect Gerry to be there early in the evening.
“The night doesn’t end at 10 p.m. like I thought it would – just because people were a little older and maybe couldn’t stay up that late,” Jesse shared. “People know that the first night in the villa is the longest night on TV – period. I mean, normally it’s from 7pm to 8am, and it’s all night and they roll. And that’s what I’m saying.” – I’ve been here for a few years now – a lot of these little kids talk a lot about game, but inevitably you see them passed out on the couch, taking a little nap here and there.”
But not this year’s stars. “There were no naps on ‘The Golden Bachelor,'” he added. “They partied hard and walked from sunset to sunrise.”
