Did Leslie Get the First Impression Rose?

For her entrance during night one of The Golden Bachelor, Leslie pulled off an epic quick change. Gerry was impressed by her cute gimmick and definitely looked smitten! The pair even danced out their nerves in front of the Bachelor mansion, proving that their connection was strong right from the jump.

Later on in the night, the fitness enthusiast and the retiree decide to have a dance party. All of the other contestants jumped in and began showing off their moves. It seemed like Gerry was having a blast with Leslie, who rocked a short black dress for the first night of her journey to find love.

Though they had an awesome time getting to know each other, Leslie did not get the first impression rose. It was Faith who captured Gerry's attention with her heartfelt song that night.

Leslie has already captured the hearts of fans at home, and many are hoping she locks down the man of her dreams this season!

Does Leslie Fhima Make it to ‘The Golden Bachelor’ Finale?

After connecting with Gerry all season long, Leslie became one of his final two contestants, along with Theresa Nist. The bachelor made the tough decision to send Faith Martin home, although he admitted that he had fallen in love with all three women.

“My head and my logical thinking had brought me to the point where I had three women that I was completely invested in, then my heart had to take over,” Gerry told TheWrap of choosing his finalists. “I had to decide of three women that I genuinely felt love for — I’m not going to deny it. But your heart has to take over and you have to follow that. That’s how I made that decision.”
