The search for love is a difficult journey and can be complicated on shows like The Golden Bachelor. It’s tough enough to sort through internal doubts, interpersonal compatibility, and future ambitions without dating multiple potential partners simultaneously. Often, the journey’s conclusion results in devastating heartbreaks or a consensual parting of ways. However, the emotional process has proven a success in franchise seasons past when the right person, for the right reasons, took that romantic leap of faith.
Bachelor Nation is anticipating The Golden Bachelor season 2 after the inaugural leading man, Gerry Turner, picked Theresa Nist to marry after the finale, only to divorce three months after the wedding. With the first season’s conclusion being tarnished by the spousal split, producers should conduct a more rigorous casting process for the next season. The new Golden Bachelor should possess certain qualities that give him the best chance of success to find an everlasting love that stands the test of time.
Gerry Turner’s Replacement Should Be Decisive (He Needs To Be Ready)
Golden Bachelor Needs Quick Decisions
It's never easy to let down walls that keep the heart guarded, but the next Golden Bachelor should be sure he is ready for everything that comes with the journey. It isn’t fair to the women fighting for his heart if the leading man isn’t prepared for the intimate expectations on the show. There should also be definitive criteria of what he is looking for, and every contestant should be held to those same standards.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
After his divorce from Theresa, many viewers questioned Gerry's motives for being on the show and whether he was there for the right reasons. After all, it only took him a few months for him to change his mind from “I do” to getting divorced after the wedding. While it's possible he was looking for his perfect permanent partner, many also questioned if he came on the show for attention and publicity. The next Golden Bachelor should enter the franchise without any level of indecisiveness to ensure the highest chance of success.
A Golden Bachelor Should Have Emotional Intelligence (It Matters How He Deals With Letdowns)
Emotional Maturity: A Must-Have Trait
The next franchise star should have a self-awareness of his feelings and a capability of handling hard situations appropriately. Many scenarios can be challenging, but an emotionally intelligent man can juggle multiple perspectives and reactions without leading women on or giving them false hope. Proficiency with explanations and expectations is also mandatory in order to manage possible fallout and minimize heartbreak.
There may have been a better approach to expressing feelings because it set many women up for failure when their relationships never progressed to the end.
Gerry made some mistakes during his season and one of those was telling multiple women he loved them. There may have been a better approach to expressing feelings because it set many women up for failure when their relationships never progressed to the end. After all, it is one thing to not be ready at the moment; it's another to never be ready at all. The next Golden Bachelor should have the emotional intelligence to navigate the season differently.
The Newest Leading Man Should Come With A Background Of Foundational Stability
A Strong Foundation For Love
A dreadful history of tragedy and trauma can make for an entertaining backstory, but it can also produce a franchise lead who's too damaged to succeed. A troubled past can lend some mystery or intrigue to a contender, but he should still come with minimal controversy. There was even a contestant on this season of The Golden Bachelorette who had a criminal charge from an ex-spouse, which ended up overshadowing his current reputation.
The next Golden Bachelor should come with a presence of security and assuredness that puts the new cast of women at ease and makes them feel safe. There should also be more transparency and honesty involving past experiences so that future partners can be comfortable with the outcome. An emotionally developed Bachelor lead with proper motivations will go over well with the audience and will be appreciated by the women who are not chosen for a proposal.
