Whether he meant to or not, The Golden Bachelor's Gerry Turner took a dig at The Bachelor season 28's Joey Graziadei and The Bachelorette season 21's Jenn Tran in his latest Instagram post. Gerry has had a rough time over the past half-year after announcing he and Theresa Nist were getting a divorce. His reputation was already on thin ice, and the split was the last straw. The comments sections of most of his Instagram posts are filled with nonstop negativity as a result of his villain status in the franchise. Theresa, meanwhile, has gotten through this scandal unscathed.
The Golden Bachelor 's Gerry Turner ended up dissing Joey Graziadei and Jenn Tran by claiming he's better than them.
Joey and Jenn are currently competing on Dancing With The Stars. Gerry took time to diss the new season by claiming he and his granddaughter-in-law Camryn have more talent than the current crop of competitors. The Golden Bachelor lead posted a video that showed him attempting a tricky dance move that involved him lifting Camryn up from the floor. He added the caption, "DWTS has nothing on Camryn, my granddaughter-in-law, and me!!!"
The reactions in the comments section were a mixed bag, with some social media users saying Gerry really should join DWTS. Others thought this video was just another attempt at Gerry trying to maintain his relevance after divorcing Theresa. @Mjb4ku claimed that Gerry is "so yesterday." At first, @Dime_77779 thought Gerry was "pulling up" Theresa from the floor. @Eternally.blessed818 bluntly commented, "Just go away."
Gerry's Critics Think He's Trying To Stay Relevant
Gerry's dance video could be a way for him to get on the DWTS producers' radar to join next season's cast. The DWTS Instagram account even left a comment saying he nailed the move. For his critics, the video could have been a way for him to get people's attention and create a viral moment in order to stay relevant.
No matter what the reasoning was behind posting the video, it definitely got people's attention, fans and critics alike. Gerry will likely never fully rehabilitate his image and reputation after divorcing Theresa. However, it's possible he can earn a few more fans here and there by showing off his talent and skills, like with this dance video.

Gerry Can Still Connect With His Fans
Gerry's previous Instagram post, which was a photo of Big Long Lake in Indiana, received nothing but positive reactions. So that, combined with several fans praising his dance move with his granddaughter-in-law, proves he still has the ability to connect with fans, even if it's not on the same level that he experienced last fall when The Golden Bachelor aired. In the past, he could be found bluntly replying to critics in the comments section. He doesn't reply nearly as much, which might also be helping the situation.
