Is ‘The Golden Bachelor’ On Tonight? Finale Premiere Date, Time, And How To Watch

The moment Bachelor Nation has been waiting for is finally here! Well, almost…

The Golden Bachelor‘s highly-anticipated finale is right around the corner, and with franchise host Jesse Palmer bracing fans for an ending “so emotional it is going to have all of America in tears,” you won’t want to miss a second of the supersized episode.

In The Golden Bachelor‘s highly-anticipated finale, Gerry’s two remaining women — Leslie Fhima and Theresa Nist — will meet his family in Costa Rica. If all goes according to plan, he’ll gain some much-needed clarity and find himself proposing to the second love of his life. But before a happily ever after moment, we’ll undoubtedly see some tears.

Previews for the mysterious conclusion to Gerry’s journey show the 72-year-old sobbing, saying, “I took a really good person and I broke their heart.” In an especially devastating scene, Gerry is heard saying “I think I made a mistake,” before crying, “The only time I’ve ever felt worse in my whole life is when my wife passed away and this is a goddamn close second.”

Jesse Palmer admittedly tells Bachelor Nation that every season in the franchise is more dramatic than the last, but The Golden Bachelor‘s ending, he claims, “really is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.”
