The brand new “The Golden Bachelor” on ABC features 71-year-old widower Gerry Turner, who will have 22 women to choose from, including a 75-year-old retired executive assistant from Doraville.
The show, the first version of “The Bachelor” franchise focused on seniors, debuts Thursday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m.
Sandra Mason, according the ABC press site, describes her dream man as “handsome, sensitive and intelligent” who likes cruises and she wants to travel the world with him. She is a fan of public displays of affection and calls herself “creative, patient and independent.”
Her hobbies include hanging out with her daughters, thrift shopping, crafting, racquetball and following NFL football. She also won “Wheel of Fortune,” her favorite show back n 1988. Her favorite singer? Luther Vandross.
And in the quirkiest tidbit ABC threw out there: “Sandra is very proud of her high credit score.”
She also happens to be the oldest of the 22 women, who range in age from 60 to 75. Other women include a retired nutritionist, a therapist, a retired realtor, a retired teacher, a fitness instructor, a retired interior designer and the most intriguing job title: a pro-aging coach and midlife speaker. Six like pickleball, as does Turner.
Turner’s story has already been revealed. He is looking for love again after the unexpected death of his wife and high school sweetheart Toni six years ago.
