‘Golden Bachelor in Paradise’ Dream Cast: Theresa Nist, Charles Ling & More
As Joan Vassos heads into the final part of her journey to find love on The Golden Bachelorette, fans are starting to ask the important questions. Chock Chapple or Guy Gansert? But also, what will happen to the other guys? Don’t all of her suitors deserve love? Yes, they do. So do Gerry Turner‘s bunch from The Golden Bachelor.
If only there were a show that could combine the two. Oh wait, it already exists — Bachelor in Paradise. There would be just one tiny little change: They’d have to put Golden in front of it and invite the older cohort instead of the younger. Wouldn’t that be a treat?
Vulnerable conversations about loss, life, and friendship would ensue, all while getting matched up with your potential next soulmate. We’re in! While ABC hasn’t given the green light to a Golden Bachelor in Paradise, Bachelor Nation fans want it to come to fruition.
To make you want this to become a reality even more, scroll down and see Swooon’s dream cast. Do you agree? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
The Golden Bachelorette, Season 1, Wednesdays, 8/7c, ABC
Theresa Nist
I know, I know, she’s had her shot at love already, but it didn’t pan out with Gerry. We need to give her another shot!
Theresa Nist would be the perfect addition to the Golden Bachelor in Paradise cast. Who doesn’t love a second chance love story?
The New Jersey resident also just deserves real sunset years love, and she could possibly get it this way.
Keith Gordon
The Golden Bachelorette made Keith Gordon aware that he’s ready to fall in love again. That is, of course, if his eventual partner accepts that his daughters will always be his true loves, too.
When asked if he’d be up for a Golden Bachelor in Paradise, he was quick to say that he’s all in. He does, however, have one request, “I still recommend maybe not putting a bunch of us old people on a beach with our bathing suits.” Give Keith a nice resort and some pickleball, and he’d open up his heart again for sure.
Susan Noles
Susan Noles is as bold as can be. The Golden Bachelor alum is never afraid to speak her mind. She and buddy Kathy Swarts would be a hoot to have at a beach resort. We’d honestly watch a Susan and Kathy spinoff.
Susan is an amazing person with a strong personality, and for that, the Kris Jenner lookalike deserves to find love.
Jack Lencioni
Jack Lencioni is destined to go on Golden Bachelor in Paradise. This man deserves a holiday.
Truly making use of the Bachelor Mansion pool, people were often wondering whether he was there for the experience or Joan. However, his kind heart always shined through. Is it such a crime that Jack loved a cannonball — or five — in the pool every once in a while?
There would have to be a kitchen at this resort because watching him talk about food as he prepares it is a must! Maybe he can team up with Susan to make it even better?
Kathy Swarts
“Might burn the house down,” Kathy Swarts jokingly remarked when eliminated from The Golden Bachelor, and it’s exactly that kind of energy that would put some spice in the olden version of Bachelor in Paradise. Never afraid to be herself, Kathy didn’t find love on the show, but she did find friendship.
She always allows her personality to shine. That alone would be a treat to watch. Also, her feud with Theresa was quite entertaining so why not bring the both of them together again?
Gary Levingston
Gary Levingston’s kind and wise demeanor made him such a great suitor on The Golden Bachelorette. His eclectic outfits were always so stylish, and it would be cool to watch what he would bring to Golden Bachelor in Paradise.
Sandra Mason
Sandra Mason really has it all! She’s kind, caring, and, gosh, those arms!
She didn’t necessarily get attached to Gerry that much, but that doesn’t mean that another man won’t do it for her. She has such a youthful spirit, and to see her living it up at the beach for a shot at romance would be quite the treat.
ABC, can you please make this happen? Just for Sandra?
Charles Ling
Who doesn’t want to see Charles Ling on their TV again? The retired financial analyst became a Bachelor Nation favorite with his ability to be vulnerable while adding in some adorable dad jokes in there every once in a while.
His level of excitement to explore new things was a joy to watch. Getting Charles on an island with all different kinds of people would be the best! Also, we need to see him fall in love and get his second happily ever after.
