Roses are gold tonight when you watch The Golden Bachelor online. It's only been a month since we saw the 20th season of The Bachelorette come to its romantic conclusion, but there's already more Bachelor to take in. New spinoff The Golden Bachelor is changing the game when it debuts on ABC, and it’ll have Bachelor Nation rooting for a whole new age group.
Indiana widower Gerry Turner is taking over as the show's first-ever 72-year-old lead. The show is also swapping its younger singles for older women from ages 60 to 75, for Turner to court. Even though the contestants are different, the format remains the same: Turner will meet the 22 "golden ladies" and get to know each one more intimately through a series of dates, eliminating candidates on a weekly basis. The final contestant will end up with a marriage proposal. From then on? Happily ever after!
Host Jesse Palmer returns to help guide Turner and each of the contestants, though he's hinted that the stakes this time around may be higher given the older cast members' "resilience" and the experience they bring to the table.
Turner is looking for his second shot at love after losing his wife Toni six years prior. Whether he’ll find the right woman for him is anyone’s guess, but it should be fun watching everything play out.
