Don't Stop Believing! - The Golden Bachelor Week 2 RECAP 

It's the best season ever and I have been watching since the first one. (slightly ashamed to admit that)

​@@kimlaffont9951I've been watching since season 1 as well.😊

It best season ever so wholesome ,and heartfelt im already crying for more 😂❤.

If they do a Golden Bachelorette, you just know they are going to cast some troublemakers to stir up drama.

Chris, please seriously consider having merch if it would help you financially. I'm on SS & can't afford a monthly membership (although I've never checked to see how much it is, my bad), but I could occasionally buy some merch if it helps you. And, I'd LOVE IT! I've been with you since before Whit & Ry. Tks, MaryAnne

I thought it was a testament to how funny and entertaining she is that they even included that because i bet bach nation was disappointed at production alongside her

Fr though! And bunk beds??!

And the ladies aren't supposed to wear flat comfortable shoes like the men do!

@@chris6653 expecting straight geriatrics to climb a ladder into bed is dangerous as all get out! Treating aging as normal is not the same as ignoring it!

🧐 hours?

Right!? Clearly, production hasn't consulted any of their Gen X and older friends and relatives. Natasha was on point about the chairs. 😂

Don’t you mean Boomers lolz

@auspicious93 Nope, I'm Gen X. Plenty of us have had multiple surgeries and carry ibuprofen around with us. 😜😅😂

@@valbirkner8131 ah, gotcha

One season someone, a man, fell off the top of a bunk bed and onto the tile floor. Of course they were injured. This show is demented in some ways.

Those are strong words, ha ha.

I completely agree with you. There is honor and respect and caring. Yay, Gary and the girls!

I agree! Plus, I was the 700th “like”/thumbs up. 😊

Agree! I’m the 808th like!

I agree 💯

Bachelor in Paradise let's go!

Golden BIP!🏝️

Yes abc needs to find a place for Natasha and Susan! They are both gems. They’re all great but those two are extra fun.

Show me a Sore Loser and I'll show you ah -----

@@lennonlime7326 🤗 both of them coming out of the Cake! 🥳🎈🎂🎉🎊

Truly not a bad one in the bunch.

Definitely! ☺️

She'd be a great choice!

And she'd have a beautiful throne to sit on while handing out roses, as she deserves!

@@funchik93 and Playing the Weather Girls Hit Song: It's Raining Men! 😊😉🤗 🕺🕺🏻🕺🏼🕺🏽🕺🏿🕺🏿

I would be down with that.

Totally agree!

I think both are valid and offer unique experiences. Thankfully you aren’t 23 still.

It’s the maturity and life experience. Most 20 & 30 year old men have not lived enough life to have gained the wisdom to speak authentically on the topic of marriage

@@rachellerockel 100% agree. I much prefer watching Gerry and all these beautiful ladies. I think this is truly what this show needed, I had stopped watching (except for Fantake’s videos) until this.

@@annahaydenSame!

@@rachellerockel Well, Gerry settled down with his true love early, and stuck with her. Unlike all of the Bachelors.

I 100% Agree.

YES, or at least normalize babes with mobility aids 😎

Yes! Or at least letting them have the option

Go exercise it will cure everything

Standing is one thing. What's scary to me, even with the younger bachorettes is climbing up & down that step platform. No one ever looks as they are focused on the bachelor. That's an accident waiting to happen. (One slipped off the back once, but she was a bit tipsy) Why not chairs in front, tall stools in back? Anything but that step-platform!

I think this sheds light on a bigger issue/convo around how society treats its elder population

@rachelle...🎯

The bunk beds is the most damning of it all. My mum doesn't even bend that much anymore so I can't imagine her climbing up and down😭😭😭

Well, Gerry wants someone fit and active. Most of these ladies are 60...the oldest remaining is 71. He's 72. I think that you're confusing sixty-somethings with ninety-somethings. I'm 61 and do CrossFit and indoor climbing every day. Not everyone is S.A.D. and arthritic!

@@vanillaghetto Sandra is 75 and there's a 73 year old ( or 2) still there

I Vote for Natasha and Susan! 😉🤗

I am all for Golden Bachelorette but something tells me casting won’t be able to find a group of men in their 60s and 70s that are the same calibre as Gerry and these women! They lucked out with Gerry I think - he is not your average 70 year old!

@@KimJilene Well my 71 year old, tall, in shape, handsome, well educated, very funny and kind uncle just unexpectedly lost his wife a month ago. Hmm

@@vanillaghetto Golden Bachelor Season 2 - here we come! 😆

Totally! It is so stereotypical that many older women are vying for one man and it would be great to see the opposite!

Susan reminds me (in appearance) of Kris Kardashian.

She hopes to meet and have lunch with her Celebrity look alike Kris Jenner. Wishing it happens for her! 🤗

@@HistoryLover99every time I see her I yell out “Kris?”😂

Oh gosh, me, too! One, her smile is AMAZING and she seems to always be smiling. I absolutely love that woman!

@@HistoryLover99 If I was Susan, I'd be soooo tired of being compared to someone else! I hope that she's okay with it.

I definitely agree. I feel like getting emotional in general should be normalized as I feel like too often we are pressured to remain composed for appearance sake. I recently saw a comment elsewhere where someone criticized the person in the video for crying as it's "not a good look". Everyone experiences/expresses emotions differently. Just because you either can't relate or aren't the same. Doesn't mean it's invalid nor should they be mocked/shamed for it. Especially men who are sadly discouraged from crying because it's considered "not manly". Let's all be more respectful and understanding ❤ We aren't all the same

...and Instagram followers

YES golden BIP but where they go to bed by like 10 and play bingo 😂❤

Yeah we absolutely need a golden bachelorette❤❤❤ I want to see some sassy 60-year-old Grandma looking for love and having so much fun doing it❤

​@@shelbiee-97😂😂😂

We’re in the Golden years people! 🎉

I’m 40 and I feel the same exact way !!

I’m 24, this is so heartwarming. I think Gary is amazing, and I also love how the ladies support each other.

Agree! It's a breath of fresh air to see more maturity and vulnerability. I can watch this show entirely,but find the younger version of Bachelor Show with too many whiny and competitive, gossipy gals. Age changes people.

Or maybe Natscha will join a gym, go paleo, and get in shape!

@@vanillaghettoare you really bodyshaming an elderly person right now? Get a life !

@@vanillaghettoWho raised you? How rude..

@@greatvaluebias7554 I'm sixty and do CrossFit every day. I'm not "elderly", and I'm not "shaming" anyone.

@@VictoriousSage Right. Health advice is "rude"! You are in serious denial.

this show is so calming the young ones get so drama prone at least most of them do

It's only the 2nd show. The drama will come out later when they start getting competitive.

@@peekaboots01 see, I don’t know. They didn’t really even show any real interpersonal drama in the season preview so if it is there, it’s not the focal point. There isn’t even a villain yet, if there even will be one.

Nike's Famous Slogan: JUST DO IT! 😊

Natasha is correct, get the Ladies a🪑 Sandra had 🦵🏾🦵🏾 replacement.

I don't get paid to read lady

😂😂😂

I agree! I hope the ratings show that this can work too. We don’t need unnecessary drama. This is enough

Lmaoo

Maybe having two daughters gives him the ability to appreciate emotions.

@@paulajames6149. and 2 granddaughters! Surrounded by women!

I read that she decided to self eliminate due to a situation with her family. She felt she needed to be with them right now and that was her priority. There's a video on Instagram of her talking to him on FaceTime.

The one who wanted the bottom bunk because her knees also disappeared!

Same, lol. One of my favorite shows to reference along with Parks and Rec

You should! It is a lovely time!

Natasha and Susan for the Golden Bachelorettes! 😊😉🤗

Not a lot of things I love more than people being called out on things like that, lol. I hate how these shows encourage the fights and drama. Maybe (at least some of us) want to watch people actually looking for love. That's why this show is such a feel good watch. The friendships within the group of girls is heartwarming. Especially considering the fact they're all competing over just one guy

BINGO! Such a disservice to have only 40 minutes to enjoy after commercials. Not enough time to tell the story.
