There is a new golden bachelor on the town, however I am unsure if he will probably be as polished as earlier gents in his place.
In Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor, the fortunate main man is Mel Owens, a 66-year-old former NFL participant who was a linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams.
Earlier than the NFL, he performed faculty soccer for the College of Michigan Wolverines, and let me inform you, it is fairly apparent as a result of he is received the problematic locker room speak down pat.
On a June 10 episode of the Michigan soccer podcast MGoBlue Podcasts With Jon Jansen, Mel revealed what he is searching for within the bachelorettes for the upcoming season premiere. He stated in the course of the casting course of, the producers requested him,” ‘What’s your preferences?’ so I simply stated, ’45 to 60,’ simply being sincere.”
After Mel was chosen, he claimed he had lunch with the chief producer and informed him, “In the event that they’re 60 or over, I am chopping them.
He stated the producer informed him, “Oh, man you possibly can’t—this isn’t The Silver Bachelor, that is The Golden Bachelor. However they are going to be scorching, don’t be concerned about it, don’t be concerned about it,'” whereas additionally explaining he “‘cannot use the phrase minimize.'”
Mel stated he defined that minimize is “an NFL time period.”
However he did not cease there. Elaborating on his age parameters, like he is recruiting a highschool senior quarterback, he stated, “They have to be match, as a result of I keep in form and work out and stuff. And I informed them to attempt to keep away from the substitute hips and the wigs. That sort of stuff.”
Sadly, Mel’s feedback are going viral, and the reactions on the r/thebachelor Reddit thread present that persons are not too happy.
One person wrote, “i already hate this man with a burning ardour, and never in a manner that makes me need to watch him on TV. This is the reason I do not mess with The Bachelor anymore.”
Another person stated, “Truthfully I am side-eyeing the exec producer probably the most – he informed you this stuff and you continue to determined to maneuver ahead with him?”
“The wigs and synthetic hips remark is definitely merciless and deranged. No one needs their hair to skinny or to have a hip alternative however it occurs. How horrible to say a girl is not worthy of him due to it. He is gross. I am positively not watching, until solely ladies who need to inform him off apply for the only function of doing so on-air,” one other person wrote.
This individual wrote, “Locking in my prediction now: he will decide one of many youngest ladies on his season, dump her inside six months, and by this time subsequent 12 months he’ll be going to Bachelor hangouts and flirting with the 20-somethings.
“Ew, actually? Males who can’t admire ladies their very own age and demand youthful ladies are gross. I’m so grateful my husband solely appears to seek out me extra enticing as I age! And why shouldn’t he? He’s getting older too, one thing these males all to usually overlook 🤦🏻♀️,” one other individual stated.
This Redditor stated, “Itemizing his vary as 45-60 is so bizarre. I am turning 44 this summer time, and I can not think about being with a person 20+ years older than me. Even when he’s “match.” This man must be humbled.”
“Why on the earth did they decide somebody so unlikeable? They ruined every little thing that individuals appreciated in regards to the first season,” one other Redditor wrote.
And eventually, somebody hilarious requested, “have males ever thought of actually simply shutting the fuck up?”
The final consensus is there’s a pink flag on the play for the previous NFL linebacker. What are your ideas in regards to the new Golden Bachelor? Let’s huddle within the feedback.
