Nancy, a 61-year-old interior designer, showed off her hearing aids: “I, too, wear a little ear candy.”


An elderly woman inched across the driveway using a walker. “Do you need help?” Gerry asked. Leslie tossed the walker, tearaway nightgown and gray wig to reveal a strapless mini dress: “Do I look like I need help?” teased the 64-year-old fitness instructor.

And Faith roared up on a motorcycle. “I’m proof you can live fast and not die young,” said the 61-year-old high school teacher. “If you leave here with me, it will be the ride of your life.”


And so began “The Golden Bachelor”: 22 women — ranging from 60 to 75 years old — vying for the love of the 72-year-old widower. ABC’s wildly popular dating franchise is having a senior moment, in the best sense of the term.

My wife cried a few times while I just sat there and realised that my life is basically over.

I actually enjoyed most of the season, it's nice to see mature women with good senses of humour not acting bitchy or stupid.

"The Golden Bachelor alum Joan Vassos has said she was sent unsolicited “dick pics” among other “horrifying” messages after appearing on season one of the Bachelor franchise spin-off."

Girl, if you didn't get any of these before, I don't know what to tell you. But it doesn't take getting on TV for weird people to slide into your DMs and tell you about their fetishes.
