The Golden Bachelor: A Delightful Surprise

The new Bachie, 61-year-old infrastructure engineer Barry 'Bear' Myrden, is bearable, but it's the women who shine bright in this show.

Meet Bear, an Australian-Canadian who has welcomed 20 women in their golden years to the Channel 9 reboot of the beloved dating show.

Do you see him too??

Bear shared the emotional story of his wife Audrey's tragic death from a brain tumour, and how he had to be there for their sons, evoking more emotions in the first two minutes than the entire final two seasons of The Bachelor.

The show is a delightful surprise, filling the void left by The Bachelor's axing.

Author's summary: The Golden Bachelor is a surprise hit.
