Life Is Short.”“That may have been my very first STD test,” Turner laughed. “I had no idea what was gonna happen. I didn’t know if they were gonna look in the iris of my eye, take a urine sample [or] a blood sample.”“I had no idea.
Did not know,” he reiterated. According to the reality star, that was not the only test he was forced to submit to. “I had to send my fingerprints to the FBI, there were numerous background tests,” Turner said.
“There was a psychological evaluation that was, like, 360 questions and then another hour of [an] interview.” “The vetting process is ridiculously thorough,” the retiree added. Turner, who was announced as the first-ever contestant on the spin-off series, previously married his high school sweetheart Toni in 1972. They were together for 43 years until her death in 2017.
According to the Indiana native, his daughters pushed him to sign up for the show. Earlier this month, the former restaurateur revealed to Gayle King that he finally found The One.“I’ve found the person,” Turner told the TV personality, adding: “It was a very difficult choice.”“The three women at the end are all unique. I love them all, but there was a clear choice.
It’s clarified in the fantasy suites,” he said. Turner did not tell King, 68, who the lucky lady was, but admitted he “hated the rose ceremonies.”Talking with The Post, he also revealed that he and his children don’t talk about what went on during the fantasy suites portion of the show. “Oddly, it was almost an area where I think we kind of avoided conversation,” Turner said.
