The latest spinoff of the 'Bachelor' franchise comes after the ratings success of 'The Golden Bachelor' last fall, which starred Gerry Turner.
Ever since 'The Golden Bachelor' became a pop culture sensation last fall, fans have been clamoring for a 'Golden Bachelorette.' They've finally got one. On Tuesday, ABC announced that Joan Vassos, a widow and school administrator who chose to leave 'The Golden Bachelor' early because of a family emergency, would be the first 'Golden Bachelorette.' The latest spin-off of the long-running dating reality show will air this fall on Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
'The Golden Bachelor' became a feel-good hit last fall, in large part due to Turner, who was portrayed as a grieving widower, devoted family man and successful restaurateur. The spin-off, in which Turner dated 22 vivacious women over the age of 60, delivered the highest ratings of any 'Bachelor' show in several years and helped to revitalize an aging, scandal-ridden franchise — ironically, by casting older people who spoke openly about love, loss and romantic heartbreak.
