I’m convinced that the Golden Bachelorette will be the last we see of the new series

The Golden Bachelor was a huge hit for ABC, but I’m convinced that leading man Gerry Turner’s alleged lies about his past and his divorce from Theresa Nist have made it likely. The Golden Bachelor is the last fans will see of the reality dating series aimed at seniors. Joan Vassos has been chosen for the role The Golden Bachelor to lead. He started it The Golden Bachelor, during which she and Gerry developed a very strong connection. However, their time was cut short as Joan had to return home to her daughter, who was suffering from postpartum depression.

Now Joan is ready to continue her journey to find love The Golden Bachelor season 1. Although the spin-off series was one of the most anticipated reality TV series, as Gerry’s experiences took a turn for the worse, I thought it might not even happen. The magic was goneand like Bachelor, Bacheloretteand Bachelor in Paradise often, The Golden Bachelor ended in heartbreak. I think that The Golden Bachelor It will probably be the last “golden” reality dating series for seniors for many reasons.

Gerry Turner destroyed the “golden” series

Gerry’s alleged lies about his past and divorce from Theresa Nist ended the magic

When The Golden Bachelor In his debut, Gerry, a 72-year-old from Hudson, Indiana, was introduced as a widower who hadn’t dated since the sudden death of his wife, Toni, six years earlier. Gerry and Toni had been together for 43 years. However, an article on the subject The Hollywood Reporter claimed that Gerry had a years-long affair with a woman after Toni’s death. Additionally, his career was listed as retired restaurateur, but revealed Gerry was still working as a handyman before the show. Gerry denied these claims, but the damage was done.

I found these bomb accusations disappointing, but magic The Golden Bachelor was completely at a loss when Gerry and Theresa Nist, a 70-year-old financial services professional from Shrewsbury, New Jersey, announced their separation after just three months of marriage.. They broke up because they couldn’t decide where to live since neither of them wanted to leave their families. At first I was shocked that they split up so quickly, but then I realized that they were both in their 70s and devoted to their homes and families. They got into a fantasy The Golden Bachelorbut they didn’t stop to think about how their relationship would translate into the real world.

Fans like me were tired of watching couples get engaged bachelor in franchises, knowing that they would announce their departure soon after. Gerry and Theresa’s Golden Wedding felt like a completely different series of “Golden,” especially since the contestants were supposed to be older and wiser. Their divorce confirmed that bachelor franchising only works for a select few couplesand even seniors are prone to getting caught up in the moment.

I think the producers promised The Golden Bachelor so they have to deliver it, but they might end the “Golden” series there, especially if Joan ends up engaged and happy. He redeems the streak and then they end it on a high. The novelty of senior dating has worn off by nowand that doesn’t seem like a sustainable idea since they’re even more established in their lives than the younger cast members.

Joan Vassos is not a conquering leader

Joan brings no drama

Joan is the perfect person to be the first The Golden Bachelor to lead. He is calm, kind and dignified. Joan is a 61-year-old mother of four and grandmother of three from Rockville, Maryland. Her husband John died in 2021 of pancreatic cancer and she is ready to find a new love. However, in the interview CNNJoan said she would come “never” leave his family. I completely understand why Joan would say that and it’s admirable that she is so devoted to her family, but I’m afraid this will lead to him having the same problem that caused Gerry and Theresa’s divorce.

However, Joan is in no rush to get engaged or married. He explained, “If it ends up being an engagement, I’m open to it. I believe this process works. I’ve seen it work for so many couples on The Bachelor, so I believe in the process. If it ends up being an engagement, that’s great, if it ends up, you and I learn to know each other better in the outside world, that’s also perfect.”

Joan added, “I probably wouldn’t rush into marriage right away – and not just because of what happened to Gerry and Theresa. I guess it takes a while to really get to know someone. In nature, in the real world, you have to spend time there.”

Joan seems to be very practical and has really thought about what she wants The Golden Bachelor, which I think is essential for success. While I think all of these factors make Joan the ideal Golden Bachelorette, they can also make fans find her a little boring. No real drama potential here, which makes for entertaining television. I understand that being realistic about love is important in the real world, but in reality TV, fans want chaos. Otherwise, the shows will be forgotten. Unfortunately, the drama creates the noise that leads to higher ratings.

I’m excited to see Joan’s journey to finding love The Golden Bachelor, although others find him boring. Zach Shallcross, Charity Lawson and Joey Graziade were considered boring choices by fans, but they found true love and formed lasting engagements with Kaity Biggar, Dotun Olubeko and Kelsey Anderson. However, I understand that the drama and chaos brings the ratings and Joan The Golden Bachelor the season may be interrupted.

Joan may find the next great love of her life and even get engaged, but that doesn’t necessarily leave fans wanting more from the “Golden” series. They might lose what little interest they have left after Gerry and Theresa’s divorce. The Golden Bachelor might be the happy ending the “Golden” series needsand then it rides off into the sunset.

“Golden” series films only once a year

Fans may lose interest in a reality dating series aimed at senior citizens

Unlike Bachelor and Bachelorettewhich are presented consecutively each year, The “Golden” series is shown only once a year in the fall. Meanwhile The Golden Bachelor the main announcement was expected because whoever was chosen would be the first star of the show, I think the second round The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelor will be less attractive.

The novelty has worn off, and now we know what a reality dating series aimed at seniors looks like. And unfortunately, it’s not really much different Bachelor and Bachelorette, which most often end in failure. If fans have to wait a whole year to see The Golden Bachelor season 2, there’s a good chance they won’t bother watching at all because they’ll lose interest. I was so excited to see what a dating show about older people would look like, but now I’m sick of the concept. Also, There are so many real life dating series to watch The Golden Bachelor disappears in shuffle mode.

I believe that the The Golden Bachelor has the potential to be another big hit for ABC, but it could also simply fizzle out as people lose interest in a reality dating series aimed at seniors. Although Joan was the perfect choice for the lead role because she is such a lovely woman, her season will likely be calm and quiet, which might make it memorable. I feel that The Golden Bachelor need to make a splash to get fans interested again.

If Joan doesn’t have a happy ending, I think the “Golden” series will definitely be over. However, if she ends up happy, in love and engaged, I think the producers will end the series anyway because they want to end on a high. In any case, I am convinced of it The Golden Bachelor season 1 is the last that fans will see of the “Golden” series.
