As we approach the fall season of the 2024 TV schedule , one of the most highly-anticipated series that’s going to be part of the weekly watercooler talk is the first season of The Golden Bachelorette . It’s no secret Gerry Turner’s journey was a huge hit for ABC. I felt like everywhere I turned, people in my life were either getting on the The Golden Bachelor train or I was convincing them to.
It was the right move to revive the franchise, but as the premiere of the spinoff draws closer, I’m finding myself weighing whether or not I’m going to put my heart on the line for Joan Vassos’ Bachelorette journey. I have about a month to decide, as the series will premiere on September 18 on ABC. Let me air out why I was all in on The Golden Bachelor and why I’m feeling pretty burned going into The Golden Bachelorette .
I Was Over The Bachelor Franchise When The Golden Bachelor Came Around Now, I wouldn’t consider myself a long participating member of Bachelor Nation , but when I did end up watching the series for the first time (through a couple of friends), I went all in . It was just too much fun to see how a group of men or women deal with pining over one single person looking for love and all the beats of each season. However, in many of the seasons I have watched (if not all of them), the couples never seem to last very long, giving the original format a feeling like it’s going through the motions for television and doesn’t really have much real stakes to it.
