Seriously? OMG! WTF?

(Disney/Ricky Middlesworth)

ABC revealed who are the 24 men who will be vying for The Golden Bachelorette’s heart, and I am calling foul.

For Gerry Turner’s season, most of the women were beautiful and youthful. However, I can’t find one fuckable looking man for Joan Vassos to choose from.

I am not saying Turner was sexy because he wasn’t. But why do the women have to be knockouts, and the men just have to be single?

They say men age better than women, but this show makes it seem like the opposite. Baby Boomers are turning things around in that department.

On that note. I am upset with the casting department for not finding one sexy guy. They exist because look at Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, David Duchovny, and Hugh Grant, to name a few.

Do you think any of them are doable?

And I am not saying they are not good men, but fair is fair. I need eye candy to tune in, and there isn’t any.

Here is a very short synopsis of the 24 Rose Seekers:

William “Bill,” 68, a retired videographer from Portland, Ore.
Robert “Bob,” 66, a chiropractor from Marina Del Ray, Calif.
Charles K., 62, a portfolio manager from Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.
Charles L., 66, a retired financial analyst from Philadelphia, Pa.
Charles “Chock,” 60, an insurance executive from Wichita, Kan.
Christopher, 64, a contractor from West Babylon, N.Y.
Daniel “Dan,” 64, a private investor from Naples, Fla.
David, 68, a rancher from Austin, Texas
Gary, 65, a retired finance executive from Palm Desert, Calif.
Gil, 60, an educator from Mission Viejo, Calif.
Gregg, 64, a retired university VP from Longboat Key, Fla.
Guy, 66, an ER doctor from Reno, Nev.
John “Jack,” 68, a caterer from Chicago, Ill.
Jonathan, 61, a shipping consultant from Oakland, Iowa
Jordan, 61, a sales manager from Chicago, Ill.
Keith, 62, a girl dad from San Jose, Calif.
Kenneth “Ken,” 60, a property management treasurer from Peabody, Mass.
Kim, 69, a retired navy captain from Seattle, Wash.
Mark, 57, an army veteran from Leesville, La.
Michael, 65, a retired banking CEO from Denver, N.C.
Pablo, 63, a retired UN agency director from Cambridge, Md.
Pascal, 69, a salon owner from Chicago, Ill.
Ralph “RJ,” 66, a financial advisor from Irvine, Calif.
Thomas, 62, a fire department chief from New York, N.Y.

Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette premieres tonight on ABC. So she spent the morning doing press. One of her stops was Live with Kelly and Mark.

The first question Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos had for her was why is she trying to meet her husband on TV. She responded, “I have a question: where did you meet your husband?” The married couple said that they met at work. And Tran was like, “On TV?”

Ripa and Consuelos got defensive and were like it is not the same. Then Ripa wanted to know if she was acting on the show.

Has Kelly ever seen The Bachelor? That is all they do do.

After this interview, Tran became my hero! I hope she finds true love and that the feisty Bachelorette is invited back to Live.

Before Joan Vassos the Golden Bachelorette, she was an extra in St. Elmo’s Fire. If you blinked, you would’ve missed the 21-year-old in that 1985 movie.

The Bachelor franchise is like a Soap Opera so it would make sense the producers would want a Soap star to be their suitor.

Therefore, they reached out to the Soap legend Susan Lucci. While her All My Children character, Erica Kane, was married 11 times, the actress was only married once in real life. That is kind of like the premise of the dating show. There is one person holding the rose, but several people who want it. So in that way, Lucci would be perfect as the lead.

Lucci has been a widow for two years, so ABC wanted to fix her up with a new man on The Golden Bachelorette.

The Emmy winner told People that their people reached out to her people and asked if she wanted to join the show. She told them that it isn’t for her.

While she won’t be going from Soap Queen to  Queen B on The Bachelorette in the Fall, she will be watching. It is a recent guilty pleasure thanks to her assistant.

ABC announced this morning that The Golden Bachelorette will be airing on Wednesdays in the Fall. And then in the afternoon they revealed who will be handing out the roses.

The lucky lady is Joan Vassos, 61, a widowed mother of four children, grandmother of two, and school administrator from Rockland, Maryland.

She competed on The Golden Bachelor but had to leave early to be with her daughter, who just gave birth and did not have a normal delivery. So, ABC is giving her a do-over.

Personally, I wish they had gone with Susan Noles because she is a character. Vassos is safe, and that is what they show likes.
