Huge disagreement between me and my executive producer on the show.
She does not want to watch this series.
I very much think that I have to.
Now, to be clear, before we even show you the trailer, I have never watched a single minute of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.
Just not for me. Doesn't seem like something I would ever be interested in.
But then they announced that there was going to be The Golden Bachelor, which they were going to have people from their 50s and 60s and 70s that were going to be on this show looking for love again.
And suddenly, I'm interested.
Take a look. I'm falling in love with you, Gary.
The last time that someone said those things to me was my wife of 43 years.
I never thought I would see it again.
And I'm seeing it and feeling it with more than one person.
I don't know. What do you guys think?
Do you guys think my executive producer is wrong and this is kind of sweet?
I don't know the concept of older people falling in love.
My expectations are that this is not going to be as slutty as its prior productions.
I don't picture people in the hot tub taking their clothes off.
I actually don't know if that's what happened in The Bachelor.
I just assumed that by all the clips that I've seen of it.
And that people that are going to be, I don't know, millennial, I guess, is the way that I'm, what I'm trying to get to.
Which, The Golden Bachelor, if I'm right, might be a little bit classier, a little more hopeful.
You guys know I'm a sucker for grandparents.
That's, I think, that's what it comes down to. I'm a sucker for grandparents.
I'm a sucker for a grandparent love story.
So I'm looking forward to diving into this.
I'm going to at least watch the first episode.
But my ultimate prediction...
I'm going to be wrong and that somehow the producers are going to manage to turn it into reality TV trash because that's what sells nowadays.
People want to keep watching when things get trashy, when people are yelling at each other, when people are breaking glasses, when people are drunk and crying.
But I'm going to just hold out a little sliver of hope that that isn't going to be the ultimate production of The Golden Bachelor.
I promise I'm going to watch an episode, and I will get back to you with my thoughts.
But I'm in. Gary seems like a sweet guy.
He's got a sweet story.
Gary, please, please, please, don't let me down.
All right, if you like this video, you're going to like the full episode even better.
