Gerry must make his final choice in Costa Rica between Leslie, a 64-year-old fitness instructor from Minneapolis, MN, and Theresa, a 69-year-old financial services professional from Shrewsbury, NJ.
Gerry fell in love with both women during the season and actually said, "I love you," to them both, and each of the women were left wanting a marriage proposal after Fantasy Suites.
ABC executive Rob Mills dished about The Golden Bachelor finale and what viewers can expect to see during the November 27 episode of the "Bachelor Party" podcast.
"The finale is really wonderful... but there is also a breakup, as you see from the promos when [Gerry] is crying, and it is devastating," Rob revealed.
Rob went on to tease of the finale, "What I will say... is it will definitely be a shocking night, to say the least."
The executive continued, "I don't want to say anything more."
Rob said even if a person isn't interested in The Bachelor franchise, he or she will probably want to set an appointment to watch this finale, which promises to be captivating and engaging.
"Trust me. You will be entertained, and your jaw will be on the ground by the end," Rob concluded.
The Golden Bachelor finale previews have shown Gerry crying over a potential "mistake" and agonizing about having to break one woman's heart.
"I think this will be the most emotional AFR that the franchise has ever seen. I really believe it," The Golden Bachelor host Jesse Palmer teased of what's to come in an interview with Us Weekly.

Jesse also added how Gerry's emotional breakdown after his breakup with either Leslie or Theresa was "about as intense, as real and as raw as it gets."
But Gerry admitted his "very last choice was an easy choice" during a recent appearance on the "Life is Short with Justin Long" podcast.
Gerry also revealed that he got his "payoff" for all of the sacrifices he had made by starring on The Golden Bachelor.
"I enjoy how it ends," Gerry told actor Justin Long. "I'm completely comfortable with the way it ended. I have no second guesses. It's perfect!"
Gerry previously told TV Insider that getting engaged for the second time in his life was "a very realistic possibility" going into The Golden Bachelor.
"The clock ticks a lot faster than when you're 20," Gerry said. "If I'm going to enjoy the rest of my life, I don't want to waste time. I want to find my girl and move on."
So did Gerry end up with the woman of his dreams? And did Gerry propose to his winner at the Final Rose Ceremony of his The Golden Bachelor season?

At the time, Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone took to Twitter and revealed Gerry's Final 3 women and Final 2 bachelorettes.
Carbone tweeted in late August that Faith Martin had finished in third place and that Gerry's Final 2 women on The Golden Bachelor were Leslie and Theresa.

Carbone, however, initially had no idea who won Gerry's final rose, and he didn't have anything new to report for months.
"A lot of you have been asking where is your Golden Bachelor finale spoiler," Carbone said during the October 31 episode of his "Reality Steve Daily" podcast.
"I do not have it yet, and I can tell you over the last two months since I gave you the Final 2... I just haven't been able to find out who he chose."
According to Carbone, he had actually heard conflicting claims about who Gerry ended up picking as his The Golden Bachelor winner.
"I can tell you this, since filming ended I have heard both of them," he explained on his podcast.
"So clearly he didn't choose two people. But people have said, 'Oh, I heard this, I heard he picked Leslie,' and 'Oh, I heard he picked Theresa.' So you know, I don't have it yet."
Carbone also admitted that there was a chance he may not find out Gerry's winning bachelorette until The Golden Bachelor finale airs November 30 on ABC.
"I don't know if I will [learn the winner] before the finale," he acknowledged. "Hopefully I will. But that's where I'm at and what I've heard with that."
However, Carbone finally received the information he needed to confirm Gerry's winning bachelorette in late November.

"Golden Bachelor Finale Spoiler: It's taken a while, but I finally have been able to find out who Gerry chose. Gerry is engaged to Theresa Nist," Carbone wrote on his social media accounts.
When ABC released the biographical details of all of the women competing on Gerry's season before it debuted, it had teased that Theresa is "a gorgeous catch who has a huge heart," adding how she's very close with her children and grandchildren.
Theresa describes herself as optimistic, encouraging, and ready to love again after loss. Going into The Golden Bachelor, she hoped to meet her best friend, someone who would appreciate the little things in life with her.
Theresa also enjoys playing board games, gardening, reading romance novels, and hula hooping.
Leslie is a former professional figure skater who loves to dance and is passionate about helping others live their best lives. She also enjoys spending time with her Aussiedoodle, Billie.
Leslie, a mom of three kids and grandmother of three, has run 10 marathons in her life, and she's looking for a running buddy as well as "a real man" who will enhance her life.
Gerry insisted he was ready to find "The One" after losing his high school sweetheart and late wife, Toni, to complications from a bacterial infection in 2017.
The pair had been married for 43 years and welcomed two daughters, Angie and Jenny, together. Gerry also has two granddaughters, Charlee and Payton, and lives on a beautiful lake in Indiana.
