THE GOLDEN BACHELOR S.1 E.8 | FANTASY SUITES

November 16, 2023

PHOTO CREDITS | ABC The Golden Bachelor

Well it’s time for Fantasy Suites and we’re in Costa Rica for this week’s The Golden Bachelor. It’s another part of this franchise where we’re interested in seeing how Gerry navigates many of the elements of the show that we have come to expect. Jesse and Gerry catch up on what the week entails as well as what he feels for both of them - he also notes that he said he was in love with Leslie and he hesitated with Theresa.

He kicks off the dates starting with Leslie. They have a little hike which leads them to their repelling activity! Leslie looks super apprehensive (as are we), but they end up getting through it and end up at the base of the waterfall in their swimwear embracing the moment. They continue their date at dinner where they talk more about what they expect. They move onto the Fantasy Suites where they can talk more and can get to know one another. They wake up next to each other enjoying breakfast and Gerry says how he feels that their relationship has improved significantly. Leslie watches him leave knowing that he will be with Theresa next and she has to say secure in what they have built.

The date on paper seems great between Gerry and Theresa; however, his mind is back with Leslie. Theresa notices and brings it up. You can see Gerry struggling and he even acknowledges that he needs to be present to figure it out with Theresa. After they finish riding horses together, they’re at dinner. Gerry asks more questions, but you can see that he’s trying to give her time so that he’s not as lackluster as he was with her before. By asking her questions, he hears more about her life in securities and how she hasn’t been with anyone since her husband. It seems that he has been drawn in a bit more. They wake up together and it seems like they’re close as well. He lets her know that he loves her.

It’s definitely going to be a tough decision and someone is going to be hurt whichever way it goes. Nov 30th will be the day when we find out who he chose! We also get to see his family and what they think about the final two women.

Each night during this season, we will tweet about The Golden Bachelor and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!

Each week we will let you know who our faves were from the last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns.

We also suggest a podcast that we’ve become obsessed with over the past few seasons, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour to get their feedback!
