Could A Version Of ‘The Bachelor’ For Senior Citizens Bring Ratings Gold?

It looks like the producers of ABC’s The Bachelor are taking their concept to an older…um, wiser audience. During Monday’s episode, a promo aired that said the show is casting “Seniors (65+) looking for love.” That got social media, and possibly a few pacemakers, buzzing.
I think this has the potential to be a ratings winner. My wife recently became the massage therapist at a local retirement community and she says that the single women far outnumber the single men. It sounds like many retirees are already living within The Bachelor format.
There aren’t many details about this new production yet, but you can see the casting call information below. As for who should host the TV show, Betty White is the first name that comes to mind.
Phil Harris is 50% of "Phil & Mel in the Afternoon" on K104.7. He has been with the station since 2013 and on the air in Charlotte since 2000. Before coming to the Queen City, Phil worked for radio stations in Pittsburgh, Austin, and Seattle. In addition to the weekly "Throwback Threesome" music video feature, Phil writes about things that matter to Charlotte sports fans and pet owners. He happens to be both.
