Who is the next “The Golden Bachelor”? Three men who would be perfect for the hot seat
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The main character of the first season of “The Golden Bachelorette” was a 61-year-old lady from Maryland named Joan Vassos. Joan has been looking for love since her partner died of pancreatic cancer.
Even though Joan loves her family, she thinks it’s time to get back together first. There are only four suitors left for Joan.
Joan currently has a good chance of finding a lasting relationship with one of them. There were 24 guys at the start of the season, several of whom won over fans.
Each of the contestants, aged between their late 50s and early 60s, had a unique story to tell. Even if Joan can only be won over by one man, season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor” will probably go to another.
Joan’s season included a number of men who would make fantastic Golden Bachelors. In particular, these few stood out from the rest.
We predict one of them will be named a favorite soon!
There are many in the running for season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor” (@abc/@rickymiddlesworth)
Charles Ling
Charles Ling, a retired financial analyst from Pennsylvania, is the object of Internet adoration. Although Charles and Joan don’t seem to get along, Charles might find the right lady somewhere.
During the fourth week, Charles was ousted from the competition, much to the public’s dismay. However, he handled the situation well and this gives him the opportunity to meet someone who is a better fit for him.
Why is Charles so popular? In addition to being helpful, friendly and kind to the guys in his immediate vicinity, he was shown to be completely sincere and truthful when interacting with Joan, the protagonist of Golden Bachelorette.
Indeed, it is obvious that he is still mourning the loss of his wife. Selfishly, though, he hopes to find new love on national television as the next Golden Bachelor.

Gary Levingston
Unfortunately, Charles and Gary Levingston were eliminated in week four. He was another popular competitor with spectators and other competitors.
Even though Gary and Joan’s relationship didn’t work out, he has no resentment. He acknowledges that he and Joan had a friendly rather than sexual relationship, but he still says he would like to remain friends with her in the future.
The series made him realize that he was ready to start dating again, despite the fact that he hadn’t found love. Gary expressed optimism about his chances of finding love in an interview with PEOPLE.
“I just have to keep waiting and stay in prayer, and she’s going to be everything I could have imagined,” he told the outlet.
In season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor,” he may be able to find that love. His sincerity, good humor and deep-rooted feelings make him the ideal protagonist of the next season of “The Golden Bachelor”.

Jonathan Roné
Another outstanding finalist from “The Golden Bachelorette” who would make a fantastic lead role on The Golden Bachelor is Jonathan Rone. The 61-year-old marine surveyor was born in Oakland, Iowa.
When Jonathan opened up to Joan on prom day, he got the first group date of the season. In a one-on-one interview the following week, Jonathan spoke candidly about his divorce.
As a result, his relationship with Joan became stronger, but he was eventually taken back home before his hometown.
Jonathan has been an absolute pleasure to watch throughout his tenure on “The Golden Bachelorette.” Jonathan gave the best of himself to the adventure and loved the group meetings.
Jonathan deserves to find love with another woman on “The Golden Bachelor,” even if he may not have found it with Joan. Jonathan is able to be honest and vulnerable while still knowing how to have fun.
Season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor” would be a perfect fit for him for that reason.
