Host Jesse Palmer confirmed on-air that Brayden Bowers called Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist to get their blessing to propose to Christina Mandrell before their wedding, and since he went ahead with it, we can assume that they said yes. But that wasn't enough for some viewers.

Another viewer shared, "I don't care if they got permission to do [so]. It was tacky and tasteless to even ask if you COULD do it." Others agreed. "The fact that he asked for their blessing made it even worse [because] it shows that despite having any other day, he still wanted his 5 minutes of fame on their special day," one user quipped. "It's a leap year for crying out loud, you have an EXTRA day to propose this year homie". Then some thought it was probably something cooked up by the producers of the show. "People talk like it was their idea. I would bet money production convinced them it was a good idea for views. I hope they got the ring for free anyways!" another viewer shared. No details yet on her ring.

However, for some, Bowers' surprise proposal to Mandrell was romantic. "Perfect and cute for each other ... you both are adorable together. Please stay together." a fan wrote. Only time will tell if the newly engaged couple gets their fairytale wedding like Turner and Nist, but we hope it goes more smoothly than the reception to their engagement.
