Golden Bachelor (How about The Amazing Race?)

There a couple of women in my life who are very invested in this new show/concept.. I heard about it a while back, and i figured it would be someone in the late 40s/early 50s age range.. but then i heard the guy is 72.. they skipped right from milinneals to Baby Boomers, giving us Gen Xers the shaft again ! I dont actually care, but i am genuinely surprised that they went from one extreme to the other like that .
