'The Bachelor' gets a spin-off, 'The Golden Bachelor'
ABC made a grand announcement on May 16, unveiling the latest gem in the Bachelor universe: 'The Golden Bachelor.' It's a twist on the classic formula we've come to know and love, where one lucky man embarks on a quest for love among a bevy of charming women vying for his heart. But this time, there's a delightful shift in focus. It's no longer about young love stealing the spotlight.
Described by ABC as a jubilant celebration of "the golden years," this series offers a second chance at love for our endearing senior as he ventures forth in search of a partner with whom to share the breathtaking sunsets of life. The women, too, find themselves in the same boat, their lives brimming with rich experiences, tales of love, loss, and laughter, each hoping for that electrifying spark that ignites a future full of boundless possibilities. Ultimately, the burning question lingers: Will our Golden Bachelor turn the page and embark on a new chapter with the woman of his dreams?
According to Entertainment Weekly, this captivating show will grace our screens on Monday nights starting this Fall at 10 pm ET. However, some fans have raised concerns, playfully pointing out that the timing might be a bit late for our esteemed seniors to stay up.
'Seniors not gonna stay up till 10'
The fervent viewers took notice of the show's time and were eager to voice their thoughts. One outspoken fan exclaimed, "No senior is staying up that late to watch. Should be on at 4 pm." Another couldn't help but jest, exclaiming, "10 pm?! Are they nuts? lol" The audience was divided, with one user commenting, "Is 10 pm aiming for the crowd of older folks who don’t sleep? I would think most of the target audience would be in bed already. My grandmother went to bed at 9 and was up for the next day by midnight." Another comment surfaced, questioning ABC's decision-making process, "Does ABC not do focus groups anymore?? Their target audience, aka 60-year-olds and us in our 30s, ain't gonna stay up past 10 pm! They need to figure this out again." More voices joined the chorus, with one person expressing, "10 pm is way too late; it's past this 32-year-old's bedtime, and the seniors will definitely be going to bed then too." The frustration continued to mount as another fan added, "10 pm? I thought this was a joke. Seniors are in their 4th hour of sleep at this point. Wow, they really give zero f*cks about actually appealing to the people they plan on exploiting. Bachelor franchise at its finest."
