The golden bachelorette contestant Mark Anderson was initially considered a good guy, but lately he has turned to the dark side. Mark is not like most Bachelor Nation’s competitors. Instead of signing up to be in The golden bachelorettehe made his television debut during The Bachelor season 28. His daughter, Kelsey Anderson, was one of Joey Graziadei’s last four wives, and he visited Kelsey’s hometown. When Mark gave Kelsey and Joey a photo album filled with photos of his love story with his late wife, women across the country collectively swooned and a star was born.
Although his time on screen was brief, the 58-year-old retired Army veteran made a big impression. When he was cast The golden bachelorette In the first season, there were high hopes that he would easily win the heart of 61-year-old Joan Vassos, but it didn’t work out that way. However Joan told Mark she loved himshe went on to say that there was “something missing” and sent him home before dates in her hometown. Although many fans were clamoring for Mark to be the next The Golden Bachelor, he may no longer be living up to your impossibly high expectations.
Mark Anderson’s red flags being noticed?
He’s already back there
Things looked so promising for Joan and Mark on their first night The golden bachelorette season 1. Kelsey got out of the limo with her father to introduce him to Joan. Joan seemed genuinely excited to meet Mark, but the spark quickly disappeared. After several weeks, Joan finally gave Mark a solo date, but it got awkward for both of them, and Joan ended up sending Mark home before the rose ceremony the next day.
Mark wasn’t down for long as he recently spent time with Barbara Alyn Woods, an actress best known for her work in Hill of a tree. With the Halloween season in full swing, Barbara recently posted a photo on his Instagram in which she is dressed as Cinderella and Mark is dressed as Prince Charmingwith Barbara’s daughter, Natalie Alyn Lind, dressed as a Star Wars character. Fans of The golden bachelorette and Hill of a tree They collectively lost their minds when they saw the photo. The post has 4.7 thousand likes and Bárbara’s caption says: “When Cinderella and Prince Charming have a child…“

Fans are starting to ask questions
It’s interesting to note that Mark didn’t wait long before getting back out there and dating new women. It is especially surprising because, during his terribly awkward encounter with Joan on The golden bachelorette In season one, Mark stated that he didn’t date much after his late wife, Denise Anderson, passed away in 2018. When Joan sent him home, Mark talked about how being on the show helped change him.
It’s possible that being on the show helped open Mark’s heart to the possibility of finding love again.
If Mark doesn’t act carefully, he risks going down the same path as The Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner from season one. The 72-year-old retired restaurateur endeared himself to fans when he was announced as the Bachelor first lead of the spin-off. The series’ inaugural season ended with Gerry giving his final rose to 70-year-old Theresa Nist, and they were quickly got married in a luxurious Golden Bachelor marriage. When they announced their divorce three months later, fans turned against Gerry. He went from hero to zero overnight, and Mark could follow suit.
Mark Anderson may start avoiding the spotlight
He may prefer a quieter life
Unlike the gregarious Gerry, Mark is a much quieter man. Before appearing with his daughter in The Bachelor season 28, he was living a life of relative obscurity. The retired Army native was married to his late wife, Denise, for 18 years, and they had five children together, before she was diagnosed with cancer in 2018and passed away just two months later. Mark loved his wife deeply and talked about her all the time. Joan was also a widow and their shared loss was all they talked about.
Since Denise’s death, Mark has focused on caring for his five children, including Kelsey.
Mark deserves to find love and be happy, but he may discover that he doesn’t like the spotlight after all. Sure, it might seem fun now when everyone is singing its praises, but he may eventually find it all exhausting. These days, Mark is in high demand, so he’s having a lot of fun. He should talk to Gerry about how quickly an adoring public can turn on a dime.
Mark Anderson may not want to do the Golden Bachelor
Your single journey may be over
The golden bachelorette season 1 episodes recently featured ads asking women to apply to appear in The Golden Bachelor 2nd seasonalthough the identity of the show’s protagonist remains unclear. Mark was the fan favorite to replace Gerry as the show’s new lead, but there are several reasons to believe Mark didn’t get the job. The photo of him with Bárbara is a clue, as it suggests that he may not even be single anymore.
Fans want Mark to be The Golden Bachelorbut they may not get what they want.
Although Mark has many things going for him, he may not be the best choice to be The Golden Bachelor. On the one hand, a Bachelor the leader needs to be a great communicator and Mark is very quiet. Another issue is Mark’s relatively young age. At 58, the women he would date would probably have to be younger, some even in their 40s. That would be a complete betrayal of the show’s premise. That being said, Mark has been a very popular man since leaving The golden bachelorette season 1, so he might not be single for long.
