The Golden Bachelor

Watched the first show and was not impressed seems more like a soap opera than real life, I thought it would be much different from the regular bachelor shows, do women really fall madly in love with someone after seeing and spending a few moments together, that's kinda strange more of a contest and everyone wants to win, I had very high hopes when I started watching since I'm a senior and this is about seniors, I'm planning to watch a couple more episodes and hopefully it'll get better, and the women in tears that didn't get picked is more about pride then a broken heart, of course my opinion only.

The best of the Bachelorette bachelor series. This is reality, the closest to real characters. Gerry is handsome and has aged like a fine wine. Extremely compassionate. He connects with each woman. The women are of different races, are different sizes, and vastly different personalities. I love respect they have for each other..not at all like the caddy crap that goes on in the junior versions. There is more enjoyment and anticipation in this series...and the women that are let go are let down softly. This show will catch on and the next will probably be The Golden Bachelorette! But...I've only watched the first three episodes. The show could turn on a dime, however, I am glued already. Now could we get The Golden Bachelors/Bachelorettes in Paradise. That show needs some help!

Kudos for the Experiment but oops, fumble. Old people seeking romance is, in a word, BORING! What makes the Bachelor genre entertaining is the pettiness and immaturity of young people. These senior citizens are too marure to be entertaining. Too nice. Too mutually supportive. The Golden Bacbelor is a doufus. Decent guy. Kind. Honest. Passionate. Thoughtful. Considerate. Ideal for a familial patriarch. But totally unentertaining for the anchor of a reality t.v. Show. Who wants to watch a movie about a lovable teddy-bear grandpa, I ask? Answer is: no one! This series has made its bread and butter on irrational drama. No fun without it.

Coming from a 28 year old, I LOVE the golden bachelor! It's so refreshing watching women who (mostly) aren't going on tv to get their instagram followers up. All the ladies seemed like they already know who they are and aren't still trying to "find themselves".

It's definitely not as dramatic as The Bachelor, but I think that's part of the spark about it. Most women seemed very genuine and there to meet someone. I thought Gerry was sweet and kind. Just seemed like a warm and wholesome guy (which is lacking in the younger generations).

I'd DEFINITELY watch the Golden Bachelorette!! Bring it on!

First off, this is WAY better than traditional bachelor. The women are so great and positive and supportive! It is much more fun to watch than a bunch of cutthroat woman hating ladies fighting over some dude. They are mature and they have been through life, they are not petty and mean. Gary is delightful! He is such a sweetheart and you can't help but root for him and his path to find love. There are always some "villains" but they are still decent people with depth. I love this version of the bachelor and hope they have many more seasons! I just hope the producers don't ruin it by stirring up unnecessary drama and by picking lame cast members. IF they keep it real, this will be the best series in the franchise in my opinion!
