<\/p>\nThe debut season of \u201cThe Golden Bachelor\u201d charmed franchise viewers as they watched Gerry Turner look for love. He found love with Theresa Nist, and they got engaged during the final rose ceremony.<\/p>\n
Nist and Turner decided that time was of the essence, and they wed on live television in front of fans and family in January. On April 12, they announced on \u201cGood Morning America\u201d they were divorcing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Golden Bachelor\u201d fans had plenty to say about the divorce announcement and the fact it came barely three months after Turner and Nist\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n
\u2018The Golden Bachelor\u2019 Announcement Prompted a Lot of Snark Online<\/strong> \u201cWell I gave this 6 months and I guess I was being generous,\u201d a franchise fan wrote in \u201cThe Bachelor\u201d subreddit.<\/p>\n That commenter added, \u201cI\u2019m sorry but I am not buying the living situation being the cause. My feeling is that Gerry gained popularity from the show and would rather live out his years being a golden playboy.\u201d<\/p>\n Another Redditor quipped, \u201cWait, is this the shortest marriage in franchise history?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like they were pressured to get married ASAP to \u2018show\u2019 that it works and clearly it doesn\u2019t,\u201d someone else commented on Reddit.<\/p>\n \u201cThey must have been broken up by then and were just honoring their last couple of commitments before calling it. Per usual, the break is being announced on a Friday,\u201d a Reddit comment read.<\/p>\n \u201cShould have picked faith,\u201d a Facebook comment read, referring to \u201cThe Golden Bachelor\u201d contestant Faith Martin.<\/p>\n \u201cOh NO surprise there,\u201d a fan tweeted in response to the divorce news.<\/p>\n Gerry Turner & Theresa Nist\u2019s Announcement Had Fans Buzzing<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve looked closely at our situation\u2026and we\u2019ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it\u2019s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage.\u201d t.co\/tmeLsD9HqB<\/p>\n \u201cThe Golden Bachelor\u201d fans questioned why Turner and Nist didn\u2019t resolve the living situation before having a televised wedding.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re truly in love with someone you would go to the ends of the earth for them & make it work,\u201d another Facebook comment read. That person continued, \u201cI knew it wouldn\u2019t work out because of their kids and not wanting to move away. Did they not think about that before they got married?!!\u201d<\/p>\n Another person tweeted, \u201cHow much were they paid? This stinks of fraud in every way.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo surprise and really, who cares? It was a fun show to watch. I can\u2019t wait for the golden Bachelorette,\u201d added someone else.<\/p>\n After months of speculation and plenty of rallying from Bachelor Nation, ABC announced \u201cThe Golden Bachelorette\u201d will air in the fall. A lead has supposedly been chosen, but her identity has not been revealed.<\/p>\n \u201cWow. I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m surprised, but I am. So much for that,\u201d tweeted a disappointed fan.<\/p>\n A frequent suggestion online was that the show should cast people from a common geographic area. Netflix\u2019s \u201cLove Is Blind\u201d does that, and \u201cThe Golden Bachelor\u201d fans noted it might help in a senior version of \u201cThe Bachelor,\u201d too.<\/p>\n Another Reddito user wrote, \u201cI\u2019m confused by why people are acting so unsurprised. This is shocking!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n That poster continued, \u201cYeah I didn\u2019t see crazy chemistry and didn\u2019t particularly care for either of them but this was the most successful season in years, the first televised wedding special in a decade and the first iteration of this show where people are supposedly there for the right reasons and to settle down. And they are getting a divorce 3 months after the wedding and 6 months after the finale.
