Summary

Season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor” is kicking off next week, and ABC has dropped those cast bios! The fact that 66-year-old lead Mel Owens has said he doesn’t want to date women over 60 (i.e. everyone in the show’s typical age range) has cast a pall over the proceedings, but who could be mad about meeting these 23 vibrant, multifaceted, brilliant women? Not us! We dig into the bios and discover a cast full of midlife health and fashion influencers, cosmetic dentists, and government workers – whom ABC seems particularly eager to assure us are all addicted to Pilates, long-distance running, and dance.
