Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner has his paintings lower out for him. The 72-year-old widower from Indiana is looking for a second likelihood at love with considered one of 22 girls, and let me be the primary to say—they’re all beautiful.

Of path, Gerry is sufficiently old and wise sufficient to know that appears aren’t the whole lot. These girls, all of whom are over 60, have lived lives stuffed with friendship, careers, children, fans, or even loss, and they have the stories and smile traces to prove it.

But a couple of of these stories come with photographic proof, which the women have shared on Instagram over time. There used to be Leslie’s time as an aerobics champion, Renee’s NFL cheerleading days, and Sandra’s spin as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune (she won the game and the bonus round, for the report!). If you really liked the hair, the garments, and the glam of the ’70s and ’80s, glance no further.

Ahead of the premiere of The Golden Bachelor on September 28, we’re having a look again at 5 of the women who couldn’t withstand a #TBT.

Leslie

According to her bio, Leslie is a former skilled figure skater—however skating isn’t her most effective skill. In an Instagram post shared on September 27, Leslie says she was once additionally a countrywide aerobics champion at simply 25 years old. She added the hashtag #80sbaby, which feels suitable as a result of I will’t recall to mind anything else extra ’80s than a national aerobics competition.

The most effective thing missing from this ’80s-tastic picture—by which Leslie rocks a curly pixie that adds a excellent three inches to her height—is a Jane Fonda cameo.

Sandra

Sandra, 75, could have a leg up on the competition, and it has nothing to do together with her skill to woo Gerry. The former government assistant has revel in in front of the digicam, having won an episode of Wheel of Fortune back in November 1988. (Better success next time, Karol and Tim!)
