I haven't watched in about 20 years but I might tune in for this.
All the contestants are over 60!

I might watch too! Looks interesting.

I’m confused, are old people silver or golden?

April is such a babe! Kim Catrall vibes.
They're all lovely and I love that they're all age-appropriate (at the Bachelor's request).
Yes, there's some obvious fillers, veneers and a lot of photoshop, but that's no different from the 20-something contestants. You can still see plenty of wrinkles and normal looking aging arms.

I'm totally stoked for this.

Golden. Like "the golden years". Where did you think the name "The Golden Girls" came from?

I think they should have thrown some sugar babies in to make it interesting.

I'm sure the producers would love that, to drum up ageist competition and drama. But apparently the Bachelor requested this.

Oh I can’t wait to watch this. All of the women look fantastic. Edith is my favorite.

Has this show been aired? How do you know the contestants already?

[Anonymous]

It hasn't aired yet. I think people are just picking early favorites based on the promos.

I think it's going to be a real "feel good" genuine romance story... and we have SO few of those anymore.

I think the country is going to get behind this show and root for Gerry and the ladies. It'll bring tears to the eyes of the viewers when an older lady gets rejected. And we will cheer for the prospect of love at an older age!

Looking forward to a more genuine Bachelor series.

I hate the Bachelor with a passion, but I think I’m going to tune in for this one. These ladies are so beautiful and full of life, the guy himself seems like a good dude, and I’d hope the producers know better than to try to run their same stupid fake script for 20 something’s on women we all know are old enough to know better.

Yeah, I might actually watch this one.

I watch this dumb show so will even watch this version. He seems like a nice guy so I hope he finds someone perfect for them. I hope it doesn't devolve into a whole 'watch what you wish for' situation for his daughters if he falls for a nut.

Thanks for sharing the link/I think it is bizarre/sad how much YOUNGER these women look than him- though they are over 60. Good for them, but damn they are obviously all working at it- much harder than he is (skin care, etc) !

I am wondering if they cast for any drama-ass passive-aggressive oldsters who want to play villain/be manipulative... will be hilarious if so. And you know there are likely a few skanks thrown in who want to launch into a first kiss asap/'stealing time' from others. Wonder if there are any former bachelor/bachelorette's mums in there?

Delicious.

There is one. Patty, I think. Her son was the first black Bachelor.
