"Living in the mansion, she says, was like the sorority experience she never got to have. "[Our room] was the party room," the 65-year-old health care CEO and mom of three tells Bustle, recalling delightfully hectic getting-ready scenes. "We'd have one in the shower, one on the toilet, one brushing her teeth, and one putting makeup on. And not just mascara - I mean, full face, just chatting. It was a blast.""
"Even when it was time to wind down for the evening, Gerri and her friends weren't in a hurry to sleep. "Cindy [Cullers] would be like, 'I'm coming in your room!' And she would get in the bed with Robin [Rocha]," Gerri recalls. "And [I'd be] like, 'Why are you in the bed with Robin? Come to bed with me!'" The slumber-party camaraderie extended to the kitchen, where Gerri and several of her fellow Golden Bachelor castmates baked lemon bars for Mel."
Gerri Flowers celebrated her birthday on Sept. 30 and marked the month with festivities. She received Mel Owens' first-impression rose on Night 1 but was eliminated on Oct. 8. Living in the mansion resembled a sorority experience, with a party-room atmosphere and hectic getting-ready scenes where contestants applied full makeup, brushed teeth, and prepared in shared spaces. Late-night camaraderie included bed-hopping jokes and kitchen baking sessions, with castmates making lemon bars for Mel. Despite surprise at her exit and a wish for another rose, Gerri remained elated and maintained positive feelings about the friendships formed and the overall experience.
