The Golden Bachelor season 2 contestant Gerri Flowers is choosing to focus on the positives after being sent home by lead Mel Owens. "I was like, 'Wow, OK.' But I said, 'You know what? This experience tops it all, then I can't be sad,'" Gerri, 64, exclusively told Us Weekly of her mindset after not receiving a rose in the Wednesday, October 8, episode. "It's that old saying, 'It's better to have loved then not to have loved at all.' And that's really how I felt. I really felt like that. I mean, I was a princess for the time that I was there and that was lovely. Some people don't have that.
