Alert the group chat and dust off the cheese board because The Bachelor is back! Well, sort of.
Following a successful first season in the US, The Golden Bachelor is getting an Australian season, which will feature a senior suitor on his search for love.
One thing is for sure: I'm ready to get hurt again.
It is unclear when exactly we can expect the season to debut, but according to a report by TV Blackbox the show has found a home on a new network: say buh-bye to the nostalgia of tuning into Channel 10 on a Wednesday and Thursday evening, as the Nine Network has secured The Golden Bachelor.
ICYMI: earlier this year it was announced that after a decade of wonderful television, Channel 10 had said farewell to The Bachelor.
The news wasn't a huge shocker as the reality show had seen dwindling in ratings in recent years — a far cry from the glory days of Bachie, when finales would be must-watch TV and draw in more than one million viewers.
The pivot to The Golden Bachelor comes after the first season aired in the US, casting 72-year-old widower Gerry Turner, and was a huge ratings success, drawing in 6.1 million viewers.
Gerry and his chosen winner Theresa Nist even aired their wedding as a TV special called The Golden Wedding, although the couple awkwardly divorced three months later. The magic of reality TV, folks.
