The Bachelor Seniors Looking For Love

The Bachelor producers are working on a new show for seniors. The news came out in January, but now fans saw the commercial for it during Peter Weber’s episode of The Bachelor on Monday. Many fans reacted to the clip and some of them were quite amusing.

The BachelorSeniors Looking For Love

TV Shows Ace reported in January, that  Lindsay Liles, one of the producers of  The Bachelor, shared about it on Instagram. At the time, we noted that they’ll feature people aged 65 and over. They also made it clear that the applicants should be “active” and “outgoing.” When it comes to a name, nobody’s sure, so for now, people think of it as ‘Seniors Looking For Love.’

Now, with the new on-screen advertising for the casting call, fans talked about the new show on Twitter. One person suggested it couldn’t be any more boring than watching “Peter Weber try and make a decision.” Meanwhile, others suggested that they may be meant people over 30, or even 40. But, no, sorry, it looks like when they say “senior,” they mean your grandmother or elderly parent.  From the application site, it looks like they need to be a sharp senior as well, as people fill in a 54 point questionnaire.
