I hope any senior that appears on this show finds a HEA - may not be with the lead but opening yourself is hard, particularly if you haven't done it in a long while. My brother ventured into online dating after his painful divorce and his first date was with a woman who was in the same place - divorced and first time online date. They've been married 12 years this fall. I can't remember him with his first wife as they fit so well together!

So what happened to all the people who were cast for the previous version of this show? I'd have hoped they'd get first dibs.

Anyway, I'd rather watch this than yet another round of 25 year old cookie cutter wannabe influencers who are absolutely not 'there for the right reasons'.

@Norcalgal what a beautiful story!

IA @leavers I'm looking forward to this!

Do we think that Gerry will actually propose to his F1? I hope TPTB don't make him do that and that he can just make a commitment to the woman and see where things go.

I wonder if B*tchy Babs friend Renée was cast for drama?

@Sprite Probably!! Based on all her pictures she doesn't seem like a nice person!

@Linds911 I shocked...not! Like minded people stick together.

I think a proposal is just not right - so many more things to consider - children, inheritance, home ownership, etc. I'd love for the season to end with a happy couple riding off into the sunset together. It could be a 'to be continued story'!

When is the Golden Bachelor airing? Date, Time, Chanel ? TIA

It's on Thursday Sept 28th on ABC, @Jolena. I think it's 8 Eastern and is 1 hour. BIP will air after.
