Host Jesse Palmer is weighing in on the similarities - and differences - between the season 2 Golden Bachelor, Mel Owens, and OG lead Gerry Turner. "They're, maybe, more different than they are similar," Jesse, 46, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while on set for the first group date of The Golden Bachelor season 2. "I think in a lot of ways, they're two very different people." Gerry, 74, found love with Theresa Nist on the inaugural season of the show, with the pair tying the knot in 2024 and divorcing months later.
