Bachelor Nation Fans Rave Over Senior Dating Show
After several years in limbo, ABC finally debuted the first season of the senior dating spinoff of their popular Bachelor franchise.
Golden Bachelor was a hit with viewers who tuned in by the millions to watch a group of women over the age of 60 try to find love again with 72-year-old widower Gerry Turner.
Not even an ex-girlfriend’s shocking claims could dampen the fanfare over Gerry Turner. The first season was a ratings bonanza for the network, leaving fans eagerly awaiting news of a possible Golden Bachelorette or Golden Bachelor In Paradise.
At the end of a wholesome season, Turner chose Theresa Nist over Leslie Fhima. But the love story doesn’t end there.
Nist and Turner’s wedding will air live on television. The Golden Wedding airs in just a few weeks. Tune in to ABC on Thursday, January 4, at 8 PM Eastern to watch the nuptials.
