The Golden Bachelorette is set to premiere on Sept. 18 with Joan Vassos in the lead role. While the decision to give Vassos a second, second chance at love was a no-brainer for the casting department, she was one of many women considered for the role. The team behind the upcoming dating competition had to make some hard decisions. The casting team also seriously considered several of Gerry Turner’s castoffs. These ladies expressed interest in being a part of the series.
‘The Golden Bachelor’ fans think Leslie Fhima and Kathy Swarts were once frontrunners for the role of lead in ‘The Golden Bachelorette’
While Joan Vassos was ultimately crowned the first-ever golden bachelorette, she wasn’t a shoo-in from the word go. It took ABC months to reveal who would become the first older bachelorette. Some fans assumed the network was just building suspense. That might not have been the case.

Remember the days when the Men Tell All was spicy?
Well, those days may be over, or they at least took a vacation during this season of The Bachelorette because this season could have been an email — or a little add-on before the finale.
Seriously. Did we need two hours of this? Even Sam M.’s inevitable hot seat moment felt lackluster. Big sigh.
(Disney/John Fleenor)
But before we get into the men giving us nothing, we see Grant telling his mom he’s going to be the next bachelor, and he will be such a cute little thing when his season airs.
He seems so genuine, which, as we know, is Not a given in this franchise, and you can tell he’s nervous and probably a little overwhelmed, which is refreshing. He probably has no idea what he’s getting into and a love that for us as the audience.

Devin forgot what show he signed up for. Jonathon is just happy to be there, and Marcus is perpetually confused.
And that’s what you missed on Glee The Bachelorette.
Overnights, as usual, bring some revelations, sexy times, and, for one man, a bit of a meltdown. Let’s get to it!

This season flew by. How are we already at the end when I vividly remember Hakeem getting all these balloons stuck in that tree like it was yesterday?
Anyway, the Dramatic overnight episode begins like all others before, with a look into the end of the two hours, with Devin going through it.
Now we know the overnights must not go as he wanted and that he has to wait until later to find out why. I’m intrigued and annoyed, so you won, ABC!

Jenn Tran's Hometowns episode of The Bachelorette played out quite how you'd expect. There was a lot of repetitive conversation about how far along she and her suitors are when it comes to their feelings. Devin has never been shy about where he stands but he still needed some encouragement from his mom to take that final step to tell Jenn he's falling for her.
Jonathan was in the same boat and needed that supportive push as well. Marcus, the suitor with the highest and thickest walls around his heart, also expressed that he, too, is falling for Jenn. Though it should be noted that when the guys met up to discuss what Hometowns was like for them, Marcus realized that he was somewhat behind them in the romance department. He's struggled to see what was keeping him from being fully certain about his bond with Jenn.

Updated: Aug. 19, 2024 - An earlier version of this article stated that Marcus and his sister weren't adopted. This has been corrected.
We're closing on the final stretch of The Bachelorette season 21 and things are getting quite serious. How so? Well, in the sixth episode, Jenn Tran chose the four men she sees enough of a future with to meet their families.

Jenn wanted to go on a solo date with Marcus so she could figure out whether he's as invested in their relationship as she is. While they were on their Yellow Brick Road date, he did admit that he likes to take things slow. We know it's because he's scared of getting hurt, and Marcus has struggled expressing what's keeping him from opening up.

Did anyone see that Sam M. meltdown coming?
Well, yes. I did. And if you’ve been watching this season of The Bachelorette, you probably did, too.
I don’t know what Sam’s primary objective in all of this was, but it certainly wasn’t to be with Jenn. But let’s break this hour down because there was a lot more going on than Sam failing to answer a single question.

When the hour starts, everyone’s back in the United States, Seattle, to be specific. If you want to play a drinking game through the first hour, then take a sip every time someone says they’re in the Emerald City.
It’s a big week because from here, it’s off to hometowns, and Jenn has to decide which guys she’s most serious about, enlisting ex-Bachelorette Charity to help talk it out.

Sam McKinney might have been an early favorite on The Bachelorette, but he has since been dubbed the season’s villain. With his exes coming forward and McKinney’s on-screen antics leaving a sour impression on viewers, public sentiment about the contestant has shifted. McKinney isn’t taking the criticism lying down.

Later, the role was slightly changed, and Sydney Mikayla became Trina, who was now much more of an onscreen presence along with Josslyn, Cameron Webber (William Lipton), and Oscar Nero (Garren Stitt).
Mikayla was popular in the role but decided to leave Gh in 2022 to become a full-time student. Tabyana Ali has been playing Trina ever since.

It wouldn’t be The Bachelor if some of the contestants didn’t have questionable social media posts, would it? This time the spotlight is on The Bachelor Season 27 contestant Greer Blitzer.

Generation Gap – ABCÕs ÒGeneration GapÓ stars Kelly Ripa. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth) Generation Gap, the new revival of an old game show that pits a group of over-30 contestants against a group of under-30 contestants in a trivia contest, was, by design, meant to be more of a comedy than a competition. Kelly Ripa, who’s hosting the new version of the show, thinks that’s the best part of Generation Gap — that you never know what the contestants are going to say … or how unbelievably wrong their answers might be. (Click on the media bar below to hear Kelly Ripa) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Kelly_Ripa_why-_the_-show_is-_so-_funny_Generation_Gap_.mp3 Generation Gap airs Thursdays at 9/8c on ABC, and episodes start streaming the following day on Hulu.

This week's episode of "America's Next Top Model" ran the gamut in terms of genre, throwing us everything from mean girls to Tyler Perry to zombies. There's something for everyone! The scene opens on the Top Model house: Victoria won Best Photo last week, and thusly savors the luxuries afforded to the weekly "president," aka access to the Tyra Suite and not much else. In an unexpected diva move, Vicki opts to stay in the suite alone instead of sharing the wealth, a bitch-play I deeply appreciate. Kiara keenly observes that Vicki might lack the social skills garnered by those who attend schools outside of their own homes, a surprising insight for someone with shaved eyebrows. Semi-plus-size shovel-face Yvonne laments her Yeti looks and lack of fans; I say she needs to bounce out on her misshapen booty Asap.
