UPDATE: Gerri Flowers, who captured hearts on the first episode of the “Golden Bachelor” with her first-impression rose from Mel Owen, is speaking out following her shocking elimination in episode 4. In an exclusive interview on “Playing the Field: A Bachelor Podcast,” Gerri shares her emotional journey and reveals her readiness to find love once again.
Reflecting on her time in the Bachelor Mansion, Gerri described an instant connection with Mel: “Right off the bat, I was like, wow, he’s handsome, very handsome. He had this twinkle in his eye, and he was very inviting.” The chemistry was palpable, as she recounted their first meeting: “He put his hands out, and I went right to him, right to him that first night.”
Gerri also highlighted the camaraderie with the other women in the mansion, likening it to a “constant slumber party.” She reminisced about the fun shared experiences, stating, “We had ladies that wanted to cook. I was like, ‘I can clean. You cook. I’ll clean.’ I did it all my life with my children.”
Having faced profound loss, Gerri’s journey has been anything but ordinary. After losing her husband at a young age and raising four children on her own, she opened up about a past tragedy: “I had a sick, very sick son who I took care of in my 20s, who passed away. I didn’t have that college experience. My children have it, and I wanted them to have that.”
Now, at a pivotal moment in her life, Gerri is ready to focus on herself and her future. “It is my time,” she declared. “I’ve given so much, and it’s truly my time.” Gerri is on the lookout for a partner who shares her values: “They’ve got to be God fearing. That is really key to me and a good heart.”
Gerri’s ideal match is someone who is “easy on the eyes,” enjoys fun activities, and values family. “Family is extremely important to me, extremely so that would have to play into it a lot,” she emphasized. She is determined to find someone who is “ready for love” as she embarks on this new chapter.
Fans of Gerri can look forward to seeing her again in the upcoming “Women Tell All” episode later this season, where she will share more about her experiences and insights.
