many The Golden Bachelor fans want Mark Anderson to be the next Golden Bachelor, but there are indications that he will turn down the role of the main man if it is offered to him. It’s easy to assume that Mark was a “production factory” who was only chosen for the show so he could later follow Gerry Turner, 73. The Golden Bachelor season 2 star. Fans got their first glimpse during Marki’s time Bachelor season 28. Her daughter Kelsey Anderson was the contestant who brought Joey Graziade home to meet her family on a hometown date.
Mark was an instant fan favorite and hopes were high when he was cast The Golden Bachelor season 1. Although he and 61-year-old Joan Vassos hit it off at first, the spark between them quickly died. After the world’s most awkward solo date Joan sent Mark home a week before his hometown visit. Despite online speculation about his Bachelor The future of the nation, it’s possible that the golden bachelor isn’t Mark’s dream, especially after he fell The Golden Bachelor.
Mark is not over his late wife Denise
He is still in mourning
Mark is no stranger to true love. Long before he joined the cast The Golden Bachelor in season 1, he was married to the love of his life, Denise Anderson, for 18 years. He sadly passed away in 2018. After losing his short battle with cancer, Markus became a single parent of five childrenand he had to put his own destruction aside to take care of his family. It became increasingly clear that Mark was not over his late wife.
Mark was only the Golden Bachelorette because his daughter
He wasn’t ready
When Kelsey took Joey home during Bachelor in season 28, Mark presented them with a photo album filled with photos of him and his late wife. He wanted to give his daughter and Joey a glimpse of the great love life he was lucky enough to findbut unhappy to lose. Mark wasn’t ready to find love again, and if Kelsey hadn’t wanted to be BachelorMark would never have thought of looking for love on national television.
Mark is too young to be the golden bachelor
He’s just not golden enough
Another reason why Mark doesn’t accept the role The Golden Bachelor is because he is simply too young. Gerry, the first one golden bachelor, was 72 years old. at the age of 58, Mark is definitely not “golden” enough yet.. Although Joan eliminated Mark The Golden Bachelor in Season 1, he is still expected to appear in the “Men Tell All” special unless ABC picks it up. That would traditionally be when they announce leadership The Golden Bachelor season 2. However, if they offered the role to Mark, he would probably turn it down.
