'The Golden Bachelorette' stars Charles Ling and Gary Levingston spend money on eye masks and onesies 

In the most recent episode of 'The Golden Bachelorette', Charles and Gary picked up earplugs and Melatonin from the drugstore. In addition to these items, they also bought cute animal-themed onesies and eye masks. As soon as they arrived back at the Bachelor mansion, the other contestants were thrilled after seeing the night-time supplies.

Talking about the earplugs, Chock Chapple said, “I’ll split those." Another contestant, Gregg Lassen, didn't waste any time and put on a blue eye mask with eyelashes on his face. Meanwhile, Kelsey Anderson's father Mark Anderson donned a shark onesie and danced his heart out.  “Hope you sleep better tonight,” Charles told his fellow contestants, who expressed their gratitude to him and Gary.

'The Golden Bachelorette' cast has strange sleeping arrangements

'The Golden Bachelorette' contestants have openly discussed the sleeping arrangements on the ABC dating show, revealing that their sleeping situation is less than ideal. Many of the cast members competing for Joan Vassos's heart are currently in their late 50s, 60s, and even 70s, and are expected to sleep in bunk beds on the show.

The choice of sleeping accommodations on 'The Golden Bachelorette' is simply horrible. Imagine, climbing up and down from a top bunk in your seventies—it's nothing short of a nightmare. The show's producers should provide better sleeping arrangements for the cast, allowing them to focus on building connections and romance instead of dealing with sleep issues.
