'The Golden Bachelor' fans wonder if Gerry Turner's refusal to move 'destroyed' Faith Martin's chance

'The Golden Bachelor' star Gerry Turner's hesitation to move towns might jeopardize his connection with Faith Martin

BENTON CITY, WASHINGTON: After his three hometown dates, The Golden Bachelor's Gerry Turner must decide whether Faith Martin or Theresa Nist should join Leslie Fhima in his Final 2.

However, fans feel that Faith and Gerry's hometowns are too far away to be a dealbreaker!

Gerry and Faith first met in Benton City, Washington. Faith forewarned Gerry that Benton City could be more rustic than he expected.

She took Gerry to see her horses. If Gerry's connection with Faith continued, he said, "I won't wanna be without you."

Faith stated that she wishes to live near her sons, while Gerry stated that he is unsure how to reconcile the logistics, but that he is pleased with their connection.

Reacting to the duo's conversation, fans took to X to write, "Either Faith or Gerry has to be willing to move for this relationship to work." While another user guessed, "That refusal to move single-handedly destroyed faith's chance."

One user wondered, "I don’t see faith moving, but would gerry move out of his and toni’s dream house?" A fourth user tweeted, "Not sure if Gerry would want to move to Faith's town…we'll see….."

While some posed questions like, "I still just don’t understand how any of these women (or Gerry) are expected to pick up and move their lives away from their families. I am just distraught lol." While another user quipped, "In the end Gerry just gonna pick who lives closest to him or who’s willing to move for him.."

One user also asked, "Do you think Gerry would want to move his new wifey into the dream house he and Toni got together?"

"Yeah, I kinda think I am," Gerry said.

During his hometown date, Gerry also confessed his feelings for Theresa Nist. Gerry and Faith stared each other in the eyes and told each other they loved each other in front of Faith's family.

"We're in love with each other!" Faith revealed in a confessional. "It just feels so perfectly right."
