‘Do Better.' ABC Is Under Fire After New Golden Bachelor Says He's ‘Cutting' Any Woman 60 Or Older
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Bachelor Nation is gearing up for the return of Bachelor in Paradise to the 2025 TV schedule, but it seems trouble may be brewing for another of the reality dating shows. The Golden Bachelor Season 2 lead Mel Owens went on a podcast earlier this month, where the 66-year-old said he told producers he wouldn't date any women over 60, and fans are calling on the network to 'do better' with its casting. Mel Owens, a former NFL player — who was cast to follow Gerry Turner as the second Golden Bachelor — went on the In the Trenches podcast on June 4, where he was asked how much control he had over the women cast for his season. He said he won't know anything about them until they exit the limos at Bachelor Mansion, but he said during the casting process producers asked him about the kind of women he wanted to date. Owens recalled: They asked me, like, 'What's your preferences?' So I just said 45 to 60, just being honest, right? And then the process went and I was selected. And then we had lunch with the executive producer. I said, 'If they're 60 or over, I'm cutting them.' [He said] 'Oh no, you can't. This is not The Silver Bachelor, this is The Golden Bachelor.' He goes, 'But they're gonna be hot, don't worry about it.' Say what you want about Gerry Turner, but The Golden Bachelor's first season warmed viewers' hearts with its messages about hope and never being too old to find love, so as a longtime Bachelor Nation fan, I'm kind of surprised to hear that the Season 2 star apparently has a pretty specific age limit when it comes to who he'll date. It's unclear which producers he told this to, but it's disappointing to hear that they apparently knew Mel Owens has no interest in dating women his age and decided to cast him anyway. For context, none of The Golden Bachelor's cast members were under 60 in its premiere season, and The Golden Bachelorette had just one 59-year-old (Mark Anderson). Owens continued: I know they're gonna be beautiful, I know they are. But I had no say in them. I had no résumé. But they asked me what is my profile. Well they gotta be fit, because I stay in shape, work out and stuff. And I told him, 'Try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs,' you know, that kind of stuff. This definitely isn't a great look for ABC, and Bachelor Nation viewers are not taking these comments lightly. The Golden Bachelor's second season hasn't even begun filming yet, but already fans are speaking out about the decision to cast Mel Owens after hearing his comments on the podcast. On the official Instagram announcement made by ABC months ago, social media users are returning to comment on the latest developments, writing: Too bad he's a walking red flag before the season even started. Do better ABC! – Did you really keep telling us you are going to 'do better' with casting and then cast a Golden Bachelor who has said he would 'cut any woman 60+ on night one'? – sherrieatsplants This man is a walking red flag, and definitely doesn't signal to me personally that this franchise is interested in doing better… – Too bad he's not looking for a woman over 60 ☹️. I think for all the golden women who watch this show that's a real slap in the face. I for one won't be watching 😡 – kathy4more The Bachelor franchise has already been under fire the past few years, particularly over its casting of men (Golden and otherwise) who have had restraining orders against them or been involved in race-related scandals and other controversial behavior. In March, executive producers Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner exited the franchise amid accusations of a toxic workplace environment, and the 2025 cycle of The Bachelorette was canceled. Mel Owens' comments are a really tough pill to swallow. I don't want to see 40- and 50-somethings on The Golden Bachelor, but I also don't want the quarterback-turned-lawyer to pretend to date women he's not interested in. It's quite a pickle, but while we wait to see if ABC or Mel Owens addresses the comments, Bachelor in Paradise is set to premiere at 8 p.m. ET Monday, July 7, on ABC and streaming the next day with a Hulu subscription.

‘Just Don't Make It Weird.' Jesse Palmer Addresses Potential Bachelor In Paradise Age Gap Romances After Backlash From Alumni
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We're less than a week away from Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 hitting the 2025 TV schedule, and there's both excitement and nervousness surrounding the revamped reality dating spinoff. After a disastrous ninth season and one-year hiatus, changes are coming, including the addition of contestants from The Golden Bachelor. Host Jesse Palmer spoke out again about potential age-gap romances after his and Wells Adams' previous comments drew backlash from alumni. Jesse Palmer paid a visit to Live with Kelly and Mark this week, and Kelly Ripa expressed concern about relationships forming between Golden cast members and their younger counterparts. The host confirmed it was an issue that he brought up with the dating show contestants, saying: This is what I said. I said, 'Listen, obviously we've got two generations sharing the beach at the same time. I can't tell anybody who you can love and who you can't love.' But I encouraged everybody to stay in their generational lane. And above all else, don't make it weird. Just don't make it weird. That was the biggest thing. Jesse Palmer reminded the talk show hosts that the Goldens are 'deserving' of another chance at love, too, and he admits he encouraged The Bachelor/Bachelorette alums to get to know them — just not for the purposes of romance. He said: I was in the young cast's ear the entire time, explaining to them, 'You've got to pick their brains. They have had so much life, they've had so much experience. You need to get into their psyche and learn about things.' Kelly Ripa wasn't the only one who was nonplussed with the idea of combining the casts of the two shows. Rachael Kirkconnell said she didn't think age-gap relationships should be encouraged, while Jade Roper — who met her husband Tanner Courtad on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 — said she would have been uncomfortable in that situation when she was on the show. These comments followed Wells Adams (and Jesse Palmer, possibly to a lesser degree) expressing 'hope' that there would be some co-mingling between the two age groups. As for whether or not it happened, the host played it coy, saying: I'm not going to say it didn't happen. You're going to have to tune in and watch. But that was kind of how we structured it. Jesse Palmer may not be willing to reveal what happened on the beach ahead of the Season 10 premiere, but The Golden Bachelorette's Gary Levingston had no issue saying what didn't happen. Speaking to the possibility of Goldens dating the 20- and 30-somethings, he said viewers can 'rest assured, we're not going to be dating the younger kids.' The Bachelor in Paradise discourse over dating age comes at an interesting time for the franchise, as ABC and its Season 2 Golden Bachelor Mel Owens are under fire for viral comments he made on a podcast. In discussing the casting process, the 66-year-old said on the In the Trenches show that he told The Golden Bachelor producers he would eliminate any woman over the age of 60 on his season. Hulu: 30-Day Free TrialBoth Hulu's Ad-Supported and Ad-Free tiers give subscribers access to everything the platform has to offer, including original shows and next-day airings of series like Bachelor in Paradise. New and eligible returning customers can enjoy a whole month of the service for free before paying, with plans starting from $9.99 a Deal Seeing as The Golden Bachelor has never had a cast member under 60 (The Golden Bachelorette included one 59-year-old), it'll be interesting to see how things play out now that the podcast quote has made the rounds. In the meantime, though, I'll be tuning in to see our revamped Bachelor in Paradise when Season 10 premieres at 8 p.m. ET Monday, July 7, on ABC and streaming the next day with a Hulu subscription.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth' roars to top of the box office
Dinosaurs are alive and well at the box office as Universal's 'Jurassic World Rebirth' trampled competitors, grossing $147 million domestically over five days of the Fourth of July weekend. The fourth installment of the 'Jurassic World' series outperformed early estimates of nearly $80 million for the three days and $135 million for the five days. It nearly matched its predecessor from 2022, 'Jurassic World Dominion,' which grossed $145 million in its first three days before raking in over $1 billion worldwide. 'Jurassic World Rebirth' is another win for Hollywood, which has effectively rebounded from a sluggish start to 2025. The box office is up more than 14% year-to-date compared with last year, according to Comscore, which collects box office data. The summer season, which Comscore begins tracking on the first Friday in May, is faring even better — up 15% compared to 2024. 'Jurassic Park Rebirth' is the seventh film in the franchise, which began with Steven Spielberg's 'Jurassic Park' in 1993. The original movie would go on to gross $924 million worldwide, or $2 billion when adjusted for inflation. While 'Jurassic World' was a new era for the franchise, calling the fourth film 'Rebirth,' and casting Scarlett Johansson, likely reinvigorated the brand, according to Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst at Comscore. 'This brand will never go extinct because it continues to thrill audiences,' he said. 'It's most impressive to have a franchise three decades old, topping the chart once again.' 'Jurassic World Rebirth' knocked Apple and Warner Bros. Pictures' 'F1' down a peg to No. 2. 'F1' grossed $26 million domestically this weekend, a 54% drop from the week prior. The racing movie starring Brad Pitt opened last weekend to roughly $55.6 million domestically and $144 million worldwide. Warner Bros. Discovery is the parent company of CNN. ''F1' is interesting because it's absolutely killing it at the international box office,' said Dergarabedian. '(It's) a sport that is more internationally centric than in the United States.' 'Jurassic World Rebirth' and 'F1' will face fierce competition next week when Warner Bros.' 'Superman' opens in theaters. Analysts expect 'Superman' to gross over $100 million in its opening weekend. 'The best thing for 'Superman' is the success of 'Jurassic' and 'F1.' The rising tide raises all ships,' said Dergarabedian. Shawn Robbins, director of analytics at Fandango and founder and owner of Box Office Theory, said the releases of 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' 'Superman,' and Disney's 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' (July 25) could account for about a quarter of the domestic box office this summer. Robbins added that 'F1,' 'Jurassic World Rebirth' and 'Superman' will likely attract similar audiences of young men. 'Superman' could also appeal to families and younger audiences. 'It's summer. It's the time when multiple films can coexist, so if any of them are going to do it, this is a good set of movies to pull it off,' he said.
