glamour.com:

The Golden Bachelorette fan favorite, Charles Ling, is wide awake and ready to party. Well, maybe not party, but he's full of the same joyous energy that made him the breakout star of of The Golden Bachelorette.“Because of tonight's interview, I took a little nap this afternoon,” the 66-year-old retired financial analyst from Pennsylvania tells me over Zoom. “So yes, I'm full of energy now.

Plus, guess what? With the good food I've been consuming in the last few weeks, if we get to do a kick ball game again like we did on the show, we are not going to only win, we're going to win big!”If you watched the latest episode of The Golden Bachelorette—during which, spoiler alert, Mark was sent home—then you know the show just wasn't the same without Charles's gentle spirit and hilarious anecdotes.

While it was fairly clear early on that Charles wasn't going to go all the way considering his connection with Joan was more of a friendship and the fact he needed to work through the grief of his wife's passing, he still provided a levity to the show that everyone from Joan to the men to us viewers at home responded to.Charles has felt a lot of the love on social media, but he's been traveling for “slightly over a month” in China, where the show doesn't air, and therefore is still not quite prepared for the reception he'll get when he's back in the states.He flies to Los Angeles later this month to attend the taping of the Men Tell All; until then, he's focused on his last few days of relative anonymity. “I have more friends coming to visit me tomorrow, so I need to entertain them," he says, admitting they won't be talking about the show.Of course, he is happy to talk about the show and the experience with us, which is what we did.
