As The Golden Bachelor Kicks Off Season 2 With Mel Owens, There's One Thing I'm Hoping To See Again (And Another I Hope They Do Away With)

Another season of The Golden Bachelor is upon us, with Mel Owens making his debut on the 2025 TV schedule on September 24. Season 2 of The Bachelor spinoff should be quite interesting, given the 66-year-old lead’s comments about not wanting to date women over 60.
