The Golden Bachelor: A Delightful Surprise

The new Bachie show is bearable, but it's the women who shine bright.

The Channel 9 reboot of the beloved dating show features 61-year-old infrastructure engineer, Barry 'Bear' Myrden, who has just welcomed 20 women in 'their golden years'.

'Do you see him too??'

Bear shared the emotional story of his wife Audrey's tragic death from a brain tumour, and how he had to be there for their sons.

This show is a delightful surprise, evoking more emotions in the first two minutes than the entire final two seasons of The Bachelor.

Author's summary: The Golden Bachelor is a delightful surprise.
