About this episode

It’s finally time for the first episode of The Golden Bachelor! 

Ben finds he relates to Gerry on a deeply personal level, and he’s looking forward to comparing his experience as “The” Bachelor with what he sees in Gerry on his quest for love.

This season of The Bachelor has much higher stakes than a typical season, and Ben and Ashley discuss why contestants in their 60s/70s have an easier time on the show than people in 20s.
 
Plus, we talk to a Golden fan for a REAL grandma’s take on the first episode!
