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.
Are you like what am I going to watch this Summer? Well, ABC announced today what we can watch on their network.
The Bachelorette with Jenn Tran starts things off on July 8th. The dating show will be followed by Celebrity Family Feud, which includes the families of Donny Osmond and Flavor Flav this season. Who Wants to be a Millionaire with Jimmy Kimmel and Claim to Fame with Kevin and Frankie “Bonus” Jonas are next up. Steve Harvey’s second show on ABC as a Judge is back. Finally, Press Your Luck with host Elizabeth Banks and the only new show, Lucky 13, with Shaquille O’Neal and Gina Rodriguez.

The Golden Bachelor was a massive ratings success, but Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s marriage is a failure.
The estranged couple announced this morning on Good Morning America they are dissolving their marriage after less than 100 days.
“Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth. And we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage,” Turner told Juju Chang.
So what went wrong? Nist explained, “We looked at homes in South Carolina, we considered New Jersey, and we just looked at homes after homes, but we never got to the point where we made that decision.”
Even though they are getting a divorce, they say they still love each other. It was just that neither one of them wanted to pick up their lives for the other one.
Is anyone surprised that it didn’t work out? I was surprised they actually went through with the wedding. I knew it was never going to last.
I think he likes women he can control. She might give off submissive vibes, but she is from New Jersey, and there is only some much shit she will take. And he, being from mid-America, was not used to someone like that. At least, that is what I am assuming.
Jenn Tran might have placed fifth on season 29 of The Bachelor, but she will be the one on The Bachelorette’s 21st season.
ABC announced yesterday, on After the Final Rose, that the 26-year-old will be the next Bachelorette.
Tran, who is Vietnamese, is the franchise’s first Asian suitor. “It’s honestly incredible and I feel so, so grateful and so honored to be the first Asian Bachelorette in this franchise,” she said. “Growing up, I’ve always wanted to see Asian representation on TV. I feel like it was really sparse. Anytime Asians were in the media, it was to fill a supporting character role, to fulfill some sort of stereotype, and I always felt boxed in by that because I was like, I don’t see myself on screen. I don’t see myself as a main character.”
This summer, she will see herself as the main character, which she never saw as a child, when several men try to win her heart.
Hopefully, she will find her soulmate.
And hopefully, Daisy Kent, who turned down Joey Graziadei and being the Bachelorette will also find her true love!
Tonight on The Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner proposed to Theresa Nist, and she said yes.
Since they are in their Golden years, the betrothed couple is not going to wait too long to say I do. So, on January 4th, we can watch their wedding live on ABC.
And then sometime later in the year, we can watch them on Divorce Court because you know it is not going to last.
Is it wrong that I kind of hope that I hope they break up before their nuptials? That would be a bigger event than if they do make it to their big day!
