00:00 Gary Turner is getting real about what it was like to break up with 21 different women.
00:07 The Golden Bachelors' leading man's journey to finding love later in life has captured
00:12 the hearts of many as fans watch him get closer and closer to giving out his final rose.
00:18 But as Gary developed relationships with some, he had to close the door on many others.
00:25 In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 72-year-old admitted that breaking up
00:29 with the ladies vying for his heart never got easier.
00:32 "I absolutely would not consider myself qualified to teach a course on healthy breakups.
00:38 Just because I did it 21 times does not make me an expert," he quipped.
00:43 "It's like I'm a novice 21 times."
00:48 Gary went on to note that he also felt heartbreak several times during his journey on the ABC
00:53 show.
00:54 "Each one of those exit interviews felt different than others.
00:56 Because of the individual, I had a different reaction to it, but the fundamental agreement
01:01 across the board was the sadness because they all had to leave," he told the mag.
01:07 Last week, we saw Gary say goodbye to Faith and give his final two roses to Leslie and
01:11 Teresa.
01:12 Following the heartbreaking episode, AXIS Hollywood's Lauren Herbert, her grandma Linda
01:17 and mom Heidi all reacted to the shocking elimination during an episode of Reality Recap
01:22 Grandma Edition.
01:29 "I love Leslie.
01:35 Leslie has an amazing vibe.
01:37 Teresa is a lovely, lovely woman.
01:41 But I just get the feeling that Leslie's just a little bit more down to earth, a little
01:46 bit more, you know, but I think it's going to be Teresa.
01:53 I never thought it'd be Teresa, but she got to this point this far along and it's going
01:58 to be Teresa.
01:59 I'm going to say Leslie.
02:00 But do I think he's going to stay with her?
02:01 No.
02:02 I hope it's Leslie.
02:03 It'd be amazing if it was Leslie.
02:04 Oh, yeah.
02:05 Oh, you don't think he'll stay with Teresa?
02:06 No.
02:07 Grandma has a prediction on that.
02:08 Okay, what's the prediction, Grandma?
02:09 My prediction is he'll pick Teresa and it's all for show and it's going to be over when
02:18 nobody's watching so he doesn't break her heart on television.
02:22 I don't think any of them will marry.
02:24 No, no, they won't get married.
02:25 I do.
02:26 I don't.
02:27 Oh, I don't.
02:28 I'm going back to like maybe going back to Faith.
02:29 Like that happens a lot.
02:30 Oh, okay.
02:31 Well, that's possible.
02:32 He's rejected at the Women Tell All.
02:33 That was obvious.
02:34 She was obviously in love with him.
02:35 But the thing is at this point now, I don't think I'd go back with him after he's now
02:38 done.
02:39 Oh, I'd be like, "See?"
02:40 Yeah.
02:41 Maybe five episodes ago with Joan, remember, I thought Joan will come back and he'd be
02:42 with her.
02:43 But at this point now, as far along as he's gone and how he's rejected the women, if he
02:44 went back to one of the guys, I don't think he'd be with her.
02:45 Yeah, I would be like, "No, please don't."
02:46 I don't think he'd be with her.
02:47 It's not high school.
03:08 It's not high school.
