With the finale of The Golden Bachelor now concluded, Mel Owens finally reveals why he didn’t choose Cindy Cullers, and the reason is…
When it came down to choosing between them, The Golden Bachelor Season 2 star Mel Owens picked Peg Munson over the runner-up, Cindy Cullers. And just recently, in an interview with People, the former Rams linebacker revealed that Cullers believed he had not shown her enough respect, despite his efforts to demonstrate his commitment. He said:
[Cindy] was telling me what I was thinking, and what I did. But she had the right to do what she did. She thought that I wasn’t opening up, or wasn’t committed. I’m committed, just not to her. My feelings were stronger for Peg, much stronger.
And thus, the reason for the runner-up self-eliminating herself in the finals was also clarified with Owens’ comment. And now, he’s ready to settle down with Peg Munson, details about whom we have compiled below.
Peg Munson: Who Is the Star That Won Mel Owens’ Heart in The Golden Bachelor
When it comes to the winner of both The Golden Bachelor Season 2 and Mel Owens’ heart, the 62-year-old Peg Munson has a history that would convince you that the retired NFL star made the right choice.
Munson served as a personnel member in the Las Vegas Fire Department, working as a firefighter and bomb technician. This was evident when she successfully defused a fake bomb on the set of the series during its premiere. She was also a professional dancer in Las Vegas with a senior dance group in association with the basketball team Aces (via Swoon).
At the same time, along with her background as a realtor, she’s also a single mother to her daughter, named Dakota (via Instagram @peg_munson). And as we saw in the series, she managed to express her strong yet kind and caring personality to Owens, which led to her winning the show and becoming her future partner.
Mel Owens Revealed His Preference in Partners Before The Golden Bachelor
In a simple turn of fate, despite his preferences in his potential partners, in relation to their ages specifically, Owens found Munson. In an episode of the MGoBlue Podcast, the linebacker revealed how the producers asked for his age preference in the participants, and he said anyone between 40 and 65, saying:
They asked me, ‘What’s your preferences?’ So, I just said 45 to 60, just being honest. And then the process went, and I was selected, right? And then we had lunch with the executive producer. I said, ‘You know, if they’re 60 or over, I’m cutting them.
And as luck would have it, he chose his current partner in Munson, who’s 62 years of age, proving his own preferences as silly.
