I’m Convinced That Golden Bachelorette’s Mark Anderson Is Too Young to Be the Golden Bachelorette

Nowadays, it seems like everyone is a big fan of The golden bachelorette Season 1 contestant Mark Anderson, and I’m certainly no exception. While I’m firmly in Mark’s camp, I’m convinced the 58-year-old retired Army veteran is too young to be The Golden Bachelor. Mark wasn’t weird Bachelor Fans of the nation. He made his television debut during The Bachelor season 28, when his daughter, Kelsey Anderson, took Joey Graziadei home for a hometown date. A star was born, as the single, widowed father of five became an instant fan favorite.

When Mark was cast as a contestant on The golden bachelorette In the first season, I was sure that no one could beat him, but I was wrong. As hard as it was for me to admit, there was there was no chemistry between Mark and Joanand she preferred other men, such as 60-year-old Chock Chapple and 66-year-old Gus Gansert. In a surprising turn of events, Joan sent Mark home just before her hometown dates. Online speculation was rampant about Mark’s potential Bachelor Future of the nation, but I’m convinced he’s too young to be The Golden Bachelor.

What went wrong between Mark and Joan

Zero Chemistry

When The golden bachelorette the first season premiered, things looked so promising for Joan and Mark. On the first night, Joan seemed thrilled when Kelsey showed up to introduce her to her father. Despite the great first date, whatever chemistry there was between Mark and Joan quickly fizzled. Not only did Mark not get the first impression of Joan, an honor that went to 62-year-old Keith Gordon, but he also didn’t get his first solo shows.

Just when I thought Mark would never get a chance with Joan, she finally gives him the much-coveted solo date. On a beautiful day in Southern California, Joan and Mark boarded a luxury yacht and set off on a romantic trip. Unfortunately, it wasn’t easy for the pair, who spent much of the meeting in awkward silence. The only time they spoke was to discuss how much they loved their late spouses. The next day, in a clip posted to YouTube by Bachelor NationJoan sends Mark home before that night’s rose ceremony.

Mark is only in his 50s

The golden bachelor should be a septuagenarian

At 58, I believe Mark is too young to be the next Golden Bachelor. Think again about The Golden Bachelor season 1. Gerry Turner was 72 when the spin-off began filming, which was the perfect age. With Mark in his late 50s, some of his potential bachelorettes could be in their late 40s. To me, that would be a complete betrayal of a show that promised to focus on people’s love lives in their golden years.

I know it seems unfair because Mark is just a few years younger than 61-year-old Joanbut that’s because Joan is dating older men, while Mark would probably be dating younger women. That might not be very fair, but it’s just a simple truth: men are expected to be older than the women they date. That being said, nothing is stopping The Golden Bachelor Season 2 exceeds expectations.

Mark should be on Golden Bachelor In Paradise

Your Journey Through Bachelor Nation Doesn’t Have to End

Although I think Mark is too young to be The Golden Bachelor, the good news is that time is on Mark’s side. Just because Mark isn’t next Golden Bachelorwhat Doesn’t mean he won’t be there someday. The show is a huge success and I’m sure we’ll see seniors fall in love in The Bachelor mansion for many years.

However, if producers ever did Golden Bachelor in Paradise, Mark would make a perfect resort resident. The Golden Bachelor and The golden bachelorette featured lots of amazing older men and women who could date each other. It may seem like Mark Bachelor The journey is over, but I have a feeling he’s just getting started.
