As for whether there was any drama throughout the season, Turner said he only noticed it \"just on the periphery\"

\"I think any time you have 22 people in an enclosed environment for any amount of time, somebody's going to annoy someone else,\" he said, revealing that there was one \"very minor incident\" he knows of.

Turner said the ladies, all of whom are between the ages of 60 and 75, conducted themselves with grace and maturity.

\"You start with these women and they are supportive of each other. They are so confident. They're elegant women,\" he gushed. \"They were, as a group, I think the sweetest women I have ever met in my life.\"
