This will be a very painful show to watch if the women aren't actresses cast in the roles of contestants. They are putting themselves out there to be judged by viewers, manipulated by producers and ultimately rejected while the world witnesses the palpable disappointment on their faces - unless the show is completely scripted.
The difference between the original Bachelor show contenders and the golden beauties is that these successful women don't need to humiliate themselves to prove they have value to offer. They have already proven their worth by living lives as independent women.
The consensus in our household is that the women should ditch the prospect of dating a man in his early 70s and instead go for a much younger guy.
With that said, Gerry seems like a nice guy - who regularly cries showing that his emotions run deep just below the surface- so hoping he can handle what the show is about to throw at him and not make him wish he chose a dating app instead.
