First off, the whole Bachelor series should've been canceled a long time ago. It's been coming on since I was 9-years-old. It doesn't have its spark anymore. It's cringey, monotonous, idiotic, and most likely staged. People finding a spouse this way is bizarre. You have to allow yourself to be vulnerable to a certain point when you date, but this show is just insane. As if it wasn't bad enough to have people in their 20s vying for the attention of and humiliating themselves for some person of the opposite sex by playing games, as well as feeling up on/making out with each other, now they have a man, 70 years of age, who's in the market for a new wife. Yes, I used the word market, because it's like he's shopping.
And by the way - society really needs to stop promoting the idea that men become more and more attractive as they age. I remember this woman on QVC selling some kind of anti-aging serum, and she said the bags under her husband's eyes made him look distinguished. Boo, nobody looks distinguished with bags under their eyes. They look tired and nothing else. Aging is a natural process. Your body and face changes. No man's sexiness increases once he reaches his 60s or 70s... Even if he started out handsome. Take Roger Moore, for example. He was dreamy in his younger days. However, beyond his 50s, he no longer looked the same. He was a caring and funny person up until his last day on this earth, but his looks had faded. That's just how life goes.
Don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for the Golden Bachelor. He lost his wife, so I do hope he finds love. But this show has worn out its welcome. Switching it up by having it be some kind of a senior citizen theme is just an opportunity for the network executives to cash in.
