Spilling the tea.
Bachelor Nation has been getting to know the remarkable women hoping to capture Mel’s heart and find their happily ever after on Season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor.”
Recently, they reunited to spill the tea and reflect on their Golden journeys during “The Women Tell All.”
Now, Carol, Cheryl, Gerri, and Nicolle have stopped by for an exclusive interview with BachelorNation.com to share how their views on dating have changed since being on the show.
Check out our full interview with the golden women below!
Bachelor Nation: Hi ladies, it’s so great to see you all! We’d love to know, has this experience changed your perspective on dating at all?
Gerri: You know it has. I didn’t do a lot of dating anyway, but now I’m just gonna take my time. I’m open to it, absolutely, but I want the right person. I haven’t had time, I really have not had time. But I mean, dating, that’s a lot of time. One thing I don’t do anymore: I depended on Hallmark movies and I’d go home every night and get in my bed and watch Hallmark. And since I’ve left here, I don’t watch TV in my room anymore. It’s to sleep. I don’t watch Hallmark as much at all because I’m having my own Hallmark movie. I’m gonna make my own Hallmark. I am!
Cheryl: Oh, yeah! I’m gonna get some rest, maybe for a month, and then I’m gonna start dating. I can’t wait to date! Because I’m retired, I wanna go out and have fun. I cannot wait. My perspective has changed, so I need to step up my game. If I see somebody I’m attracted to, not that I’m gonna kiss him right away but I may have to say sweet little things to him. I’m caring, I’m sensitive and I have a big heart, and when I fall in love I fall. But I’m also very shielded. I kind of have a shield up because you know I’ve been hurt by a couple men. And I think a lot of women have, but I’m still hopeful that I am gonna find that man. Someday, I will. I would like to go through life with someone and just have so much fun and be by his side.
Carol: Love that, Cheryl. And it has for me, too! I’ve really grown. People say, “Oh you can grow at 63?” Yeah, you can grow. There’s never, ever an ending time. Until I can’t breathe anymore, I wanna keep growing. And I love it, I love learning every day and that’s what’s so exciting about this show. You come to terms with, “wait there’s so much more out there.” So, just doing things that are uncomfortable like doing comedy, cheerleading at the colosseum, that was a dream come true. I love it. I did things like a comedy club with a full audience, a People magazine shoot, talk about being stretched! So, it was so fulfilling and I’m so grateful for the experience. I really am, I feel very blessed to even be here. I feel like it was meant to be, so yes it would’ve been great if I had gotten the guy, but you know it was wonderful. I couldn’t have been more happy with how everything turned out.
Nicolle: I’m the opposite. No, I don’t think it’s changed my perspective on dating. I mean this is an unusual situation of 23 women with one man. But you know, in a way, it mirrors what could potentially be going on on the outside. You could be having a nice dinner with a man and we have no idea who else he’s dating. Probably not 22 others, but maybe two others. So no, I don’t think so. I think I was always positive and felt very knowing that I’ll meet my person, so it didn’t change it in any way. I still feel that way.
BN: Thank you so much for meeting with us, ladies! We love hearing from you and we’re wishing you all the best!
