LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bachelor Nation believes 'The Golden Bachelor' star Gerry Turner has chosen his final rose. The uproar began when viewers noticed someone in the background of a new video.

Gerry chatted with Us Weekly from a faraway place in an almost two-minute interview. A mirror tile hung in the backdrop as the camera focused on the 'The Golden Bachelor' star.



 

Observant social media users noticed a female seated on the white bed. Viewers speculated in an internet discussion that they spotted popular candidate Leslie Fhima in the mirror.

As the clip began making waves on social media, a person started a Reddit thread, highlighting who could be the possible winner. On it, another commented, "Looks like Leslie." A second user chimed in, "I think it’s Leslie, not Theresa."

One fan tried to make a guess by adding, "I can’t tell-it kind of looks like Leslie or Faith I think?" A fourth fan wondered, "I see the person but I can’t make it out. Is it Leslie?"

Did Leslie Fhima consider leaving 'The Golden Bachelor'?

Leslie has been a fan favorite on 'The Golden Bachelor' following her romantic one-on-one ATV date with Gerry, but she nearly didn't stay in the mansion. Leslie stated in an exclusive interview with E! News that her son had phoned her and that he "needed" her.

Leslie, like fellow contestant Joan Vassos, felt she had to choose her children above Gerry. "He gave me the gift of staying and having an amazing date with Gerry," Leslie told the source, "which I think changed our relationship, took it to a different level."

Fans recently grew anxious after being unable to locate their favorite frontrunner in a group photo on Instagram. On October 19, the show's Instagram account shared content from the set with its star.

The photos in the post were all taken on a tennis court. Gerry was photographed in mid-swing as he smacked the pickleball with his paddle.

Leslie's absence from the group shot prompted fans to inquire about her location. "Leslie is not in the group shot. Did she get the one on one?" questioned fans in the comments.

It turned out, she just was not in the shot due to the one-on-one date, as another fan realized. The fan commented, "So leslie has the one on one," and another replied to it, saying, "This answers my question. Leslie isn't in the group shot!"
