We Don’'t Deserve The Golden Bachelor’s Susan

The Golden Bachelor’s on his . This was before the contestant announcement, so I had no idea who the women were, what they looked like, or how old they were.

Though I normally like to be much more prepared, the plus side was that I had no preconceived notions of who I was talking to or what their story was.

If anything, I now blame myself for being cynical that we’d get the typical Bachelor contestants, just “older.”, a 66-year-old wedding officiant and makeup and hair stylist from Philadelphia.

She was dressed in hot pink ’70s attire with a flower power headband, peace sign earrings, and pink-tinted round glasses, and I wasn’t sure if she’d brought this ensemble on her journey, or if she’d requested it from the production team. (As I learned from last night’s episode, the production team picked out a bunch of clothing for a hypothetical romance-novel cover shoot, and the ladies had to choose the outfit that most spoke to them.)You go girl!When I met Susan, she gave me a big hug before proclaiming with her big, East Coast voice, “I am 66 years old and so excited and enjoying every moment of this journey!”Having interviewed Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants for a decade, I've heard that line many times before, minus the age part.
