How to Watch ‘The Golden Bachelorette’

About ‘The Golden Bachelorette

Follow along as Joan embarks on a dazzling journey filled with joy, hope, and heartbreak. The series begins with the men’s first impressions. In the premiere episode, each of the 24 men will exit the limos to meet Joan for the first time, and they must find a way to pique her interest. Eliminations begin on night one so no one is safe.

Each week, the series follows Joan and the men as they get to know each other on individual and group dates. By the end of the competition, Joan will propose to just one of the men, giving them both a chance at getting their happily ever after.
