Who's Still in the Running on 'The Golden Bachelor'? Who's Heading to Hometown Week?
The Golden Bachelor Season 2 is heating up, and after a dramatic group date and a heart-wrenching rose ceremony, the stakes are higher than ever. Who made the cut and who got cut? Who self-eliminated and who's headed to Hometown Week? We've got all the juicy details from this week's episode.
The Group Date: Good Vibes Only or Negative Energy?
Mel brought Peg, Debbie, Cheryl, Nicole, and Carol to Butterfly Mountain for a spiritual group date. The goal was to rid themselves of negative emotions and align their energies. Mel spent one-on-one time with each woman, but two stood out for their negative vibes.
First, Nicole. After packing on the PDA and discussing her influencer career plans, Nicole's true intentions were revealed when Mel asked about her future. She bluntly mentioned her dad's financial advice and her plans to monetize her Instagram. This left Mel thinking, 'Is this what Robin talked about?' He brushed her concerns aside and sent her home.
Then, Carol. She realized she was lagging behind in her relationship with Mel, as she was the only remaining Golden Gal without a one-on-one date. With Hometown Week approaching, Carol decided it was time to self-eliminate. She accurately assessed the situation and went out on her own terms, which is a mature move.
Mel Owens and Cindy Angelcyk Cullers' One-On-One Date: A Romantic Adventure
Cindy didn't get Mel's first impression rose, but their physical chemistry was undeniable. For their date, Mel took Cindy on a horseback ride to Griffith Observatory. Cindy opened up about her divorce, daughters, and struggles with love. She admitted to feeling shocked and told Mel her feelings were real.
The date was a success, with kissing, bonding, dancing, and stargazing. Cindy declared, 'He's the sun, the moon, and the stars for me all wrapped up into one.' It's safe to say she's headed to Hometown Week.
The Rose Ceremony: Who's Out and Who's In?
Mel, determined to make the right choice, prayed before the rose ceremony. He decided to send home Cheryl and Nicole, leaving Carol to self-eliminate. Nicole, in typical fashion, stirred the pot, hinting at future opportunities. ABC, please keep her away from The Golden Bachelorette!
Hometown Week: Mel's Top Three
Mel's final three women are:
- Cindy Angelcyk Cullers: A 60-year-old retired biomedical engineer from Austin, Texas.
- Debbie Siebers: A 65-year-old fitness professional from Denver, Colorado.
- Peg Munson: A 62-year-old from Las Vegas, Nevada.
