Mel Owens’ search for a new flame on “The Golden Bachelor” Season 2 is entering its penultimate stage, with only six women remaining as of the latest episode aired on Wednesday, October 15. The contestants still in the mix are Carol, Cheryl, Cindy, Debbie, Nicolle, and Peg, each vying for Mel’s affection.
In last week’s episode, Peg enjoyed a one-on-one date at the Orange County Fair, while Nicolle humorously noted that she was “dating America” and relishing the exposure that comes with being on the show. A lively group date took place on Malibu Beach, featuring a photoshoot led by People magazine’s Editor-at-Large, Janine Rubenstein. As the drama unfolds, viewers anticipate a tailgate-themed cocktail party leading into a rose ceremony, which will see three women eliminated.
Tonight promises a thrilling episode, marking the final week before hometown visits. Mel Owens will have to narrow down his choices to three women whose families he wishes to meet. The upcoming group date is set at the Butterfly Mountain wellness retreat, where emotional truths are likely to surface. Additionally, there will be a one-on-one date at the Griffith Observatory, followed by Mel seeking advice from Jesse.
“The Golden Bachelor” Season 2, which debuted on September 24, airs every Wednesday, allowing fans to enjoy each two-hour episode from 7 p.m. CT/MT and 8 p.m. ET/PT. For those unable to catch the live broadcast on ABC 15 in Phoenix or their local ABC network, the show will be available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
As for the remaining season schedule, the next episodes are set for October 22. Spoilers for the series have been scarce, but it is rumored that Carol may reach the overnight dates before self-eliminating, while Debbie and Cindy are potential finalists meeting Mel’s family.
With each episode building excitement and connection among contestants, audiences remain hopeful that Mel will find love once again as his journey on “The Golden Bachelor” unfolds.
