The Golden Bachelor (2023– )
3/10
Beautiful visuals, dramatic and manipulative dissapointment
2 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The show started very promising on the mature note, it's nice to see ladies taking care of their health and presentation as time passed.

Everyone liked Gary, very polite, courteous, made the ladies feel as if everyone had a chance with him and was inclusive. But the more you watch the show, the more you see what a mask he wears, feeding women's emotional triggers and then dumping them carelessly, hoping that he still looks good on TV, as a "Nice guy", so they don't cry as much.

The thing for women who have actually matured and gone through therapy and have learned to detect lies sooner as a survival mechanism, it is very clear that Gary wanted a cheerleader, someone who he could manipulate and who could play the nostalgia game with him, which is sad to see the lengths of choice of words he uses, when he had found the woman he wanted right from the beginning, the one who playfully pretended she'd go nude for him during their first impression. The same woman who was at the top of drama and out of so many ladies who were more prudent, graceful and mature, this show favored the drama over the maturity.

Theresa is extremely fake and plays dumb to her conveninence. Anyone who knows what a Karen is can see that. But since she wanted him bad enough, hey, narcissist live for that.

If you want to see a show that stars off charmingly but quickly looses it's substance, the bachelor manipulated using the nice guy card, and plays and toys, leads on, and still can get away with it, this a good show for that. Or if you want to watch a show to have a reference of what NOT to do, starting with the fact that is one man and multiple women fighting over him, in that sense a show that is more inclined towards how nature's natural selection process works, The Bachelorette is a more realistic and more natural approach, as in nature it's the male who earns his female, not the other way.
