In a surprising announcement from reality TV TikToker, @zacharyreality, who was tapped by The Golden Bachelor producers to make a post, they shared a casting update. Behind the TikToker leading the annoouncement, was a Golden Bachelor casting call announcement. The post said The Golden Bachelor was searching for "Single Senior Men" to apply for the lead choice. @zacharyreality commentated that:
"You could apply or nominate someone at GoldenBachelorcasting.com. So if you know someone handsome, charismatic, charming, definitely single, whether it's your dad, your uncle, your brother, your grandfather, please nominate them!"
What Golden Bachelor Producers Casting Outside Golden Bachelorette Means
They're Missing A Golden Opportunity
Historically, the format of The Bachelor franchise shows has been to cast the lead from the memorable and popular cast members from the last season. That wasn't the case with The Golden Bachelor season 1, as it was the pilot season. A casting call, like the one presented above, was widespread, and that's how lead, Gerry Turner, was chosen. The Golden Bachelorette stuck to the familiar Bachelor format, as Gerry Turner's season 1 love interest, Joan, was chosen as the The Golden Bachelorette lead.
It could be that Charles doesn't want the role, that producers don't think Pascal would be a good fit, and that Guy wants to pursue acting. Either way, opening up the casting is an irregular move for the franchise. However, it could prove to draw in wide viewership, just as newcomer Gerry did.
The show could be missing a Golden opportunity by not giving the people what they want in having Charles Ling be the lead, but time will tell.
