How will The Golden Bachelor be different?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Golden Bachelor’s lead Gerry Turner will be changing the franchise on his spin-off series from his very first night at the Bachelor mansion. Gerry, who celebrated his 72nd birthday during the filming of the series, will get the chance to look for love on the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor.
While The Golden Bachelor season 1 has been in the works for ABC for years, Gerry’s time as the lead only came to fruition during the last several months. After losing his wife Toni in 2017, Gerry took the time to heal and grieve before deciding he was ready to forward with a new relationship. Considering Gerry isn’t a traditional Bachelor, it’s only fair to see that moving into his role as the lead, he won’t be keeping up with some of the traditional Bachelor conventions.
Gerry's Family Will Be Highly Involved In The Golden Bachelor The Bachelor franchise always incorporates a family element to the show, inviting the lead to meet their contestants’ families during hometown week and in turn, inviting the lead’s families to meet their finalists later in the season. The Golden Bachelor will be even more family-focused, as Gerry has raised a family and lived a full life with his late wife.
Mature Relationships Are Quicker To Form & Solidify One of the biggest drawbacks and difficulties found on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette is the fact that the relationships form so quickly that they don’t always feel authentic. While the love between the lead and their contestants may feel strong during The Bachelor experience, things can fizzle out quickly with such young contestants.
Gerry's Looking For An Emotional Long-Term Connection, Not Social Media Fame Some of the leads and contestants in Bachelor Nation weren’t on the series to look for love, which is a common criticism on the series. Many Bachelor Nation viewers are familiar with the phrase “here for the right reasons,” which typically points to contestants who are on the show looking for fame. This won’t be as big of an issue on The Golden Bachelor, especially considering Gerry is already such a beloved figure.
