Kathy Swarts Shares Conditions For Golden Bachelorette
ABC doesn’t seem to have a shortage of candidates for a Golden Bachelorette spinoff. Several contestants from Season 1 of Golden Bachelor have expressed interest in a second chance at love on reality TV.
The network previously confirmed that the Golden Bachelorette will air this fall. However, they haven’t released any new information, including who will star. Susan Noles and her Golden Bachelor bestie, Kathy Swarts, have both admitted they would love to be the one chosen.
Non-Bachelor Nation possibilities include soap star Susan Lucci and former talk show host Kathie Lee Gifford. But the most likely scenario is the role will go to one of Gerry Turner’s exes, maybe even his soon-to-be ex-wife,...

Kathy Swarts is very open to appearing on the first season of The Golden Bachelorette. ABC has yet to announce the lead in the upcoming series, but fans strongly suspect that one of the favorites from Gerry Turner’s season will lead the series. Susan Noles was a frontrunner, but she’s dating other men already. Joan Vassos and Faith Martin are fan favorites, but neither has committed to the series. If Swarts is named the first-ever golden bachelorette, ABC must send any man who has never been married packing before he even encounters the eligible bachelorette. Swarts has a very important prerequisite for the men she entertains.

Golden Bachelorette fans did a poll to see which of Gerry Turner’s Golden Bachelor contestants they wanted to see as the lead. Actually, the results might shock you a bit. While the show’s been given the go-ahead, the name of the lead hasn’t been revealed. So, it might not be one of the cast members from The Golden Bachelor.
Jesse Palmer Had Ideas On The Golden Bachelorette Lead
Bachelor Nation host Jesse Palmer felt that the lead for the new spinoff should come from Golden Bachelor contestants. While he thought that any of the women from the Askn group would work, he only mentioned Leslie Fhima as a second thought. Remember, she came in second place after Theresa Nist. However, not everyone is wild about Askn’s April Kirkwood, Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts, and Nancy Hulkower.

Gerry Turner’s Contestants Seem Very Different

Kathy Swarts was recently asked about the Askn fallout after the former Golden Bachelor friends appeared together on Joey Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor.
It should surprise no one that Kathy’s response to a question about the friend breakup was just as shady as she was during her time on Gerry Turner’s season of the Bachelor Nation spin-off.
Last week, April Kirkwood, Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts, and Nancy Hulkower appeared on The Bachelor to judge the Mrs. Right pageant group date. Eight women showed off their special talents in the pageant to win Joey’s attention and affection.
Soon after, it became apparent that the “mean girls” of The Golden Bachelor may have turned on one of their own.
In January, three members of the former foursome went on a tropical getaway together. Initially, it was planned that all four would go.

It wasn’t long ago that Leslie Fhima got her heart broken on The Golden Bachelor.
She thought she was “the one” Gerry Turner would give his final rose and propose to, but he had a last-minute change of heart and chose Theresa Nist instead.
The Golden Bachelor viewers thought Leslie dodged a bullet after one of Gerry’s ex-girlfriends dropped a bombshell – right before finale night.
And she may have because Leslie has been living it up lately.
She even returned to Costa Rica last month and reclaimed the country where she was dumped on reality TV.
Now, she’s rubbing elbows with celebrities and attending events that she likely wouldn’t have if not for The Golden Bachelor.

Mean girls are still mean girling, according to a post made by April Kirkwood in January.
She just appeared on an episode of The Bachelor alongside the rest of The Golden Bachelor’s Askn crew.
But it looks like the ladies had a huge fallout after filming together due to April backing out of their Saint Martin trip.
Further proving that something happened between The Golden Bachelor castmates, April Kirkwood no longer follows Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts, or Nancy Hulkower.
Likewise, they don’t follow April anymore either but they do all still follow each other.
And in April’s callout, after the friends started feuding, she’s now comparing herself to Theresa Nist, whom Kathy Swarts famously bullied and picked at while they were all trying to win over Gerry Turner during the first season of The Golden Bachelor.
Only Ksn from the Askn crew hit St. Martin in January

Four women from Gerry Turner’s season of The Golden Bachelor will be extending their 15 minutes of fame just a little bit longer.
That’s because they’ll be appearing on the upcoming episode of The Bachelor to help Joey Graziadei find love.
For those who don’t remember The Golden Bachelor’s mean girls, they actually called themselves Askn as they absolutely missed the opportunity to call themselves Snak instead.
We’re talking about April Kirkwood, Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts, and Nancy Hulkower — who became fast friends while staying together in the mansion and looking for love themselves.
So they know a little bit about what these ladies are going through.
And they’re also well-acquainted with the drama that can kick up in such a competitive environment.

April Kirkwood shocked The Golden Bachelor fans with suggestions that drama was brewing among the show’s contestants. Earlier this week, Kirkwood took to Instagram to rant about people sliding into her D.M.s to harass her over a vacation she had to cancel. Fans quickly theorized that there was drama between Askn, the friend group formed inside the mansion. Kirkwood has seemingly confirmed that there is a rift. She recently revealed that her co-contestants, Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts, and Nancy Hulkower, blocked her on the social network.

The Golden Bachelor ended with a wedding. While Gerry Turner found love in Theresa Nist, plenty of other relationships were established inside the mansion. Many contestants from the first The Golden Bachelor season have remained friends and seem to travel together regularly. That doesn’t mean everything is drama-free, though.
In fact, there might be some drama brewing within Askn, the most prominent friend group from the dating competition. Recently, April Kirkwood lashed out on Instagram as her show besties, Nancy Hulkower, Kathy Swarts, and Susan Noles, vacationed together.
Susan, Nancy, and Kathy appear to be a three-person friend group now
The Golden Bachelor fans have enjoyed following the ladies of the competition as they navigate life after the show. The friend group, Askn, has been particularly active on Instagram, and they sure are living it up after the series. Right now, Susan, Kathy, and Nancy are enjoying a vacation in the French West Indies.

The Golden Bachelor will end with a final rose ceremony on Nov. 30. The first season of the dating competition focused on older daters is absolutely a success. While the series has been fun to watch, fans have noticed something unique about the season. More contestants on The Golden Bachelor have self-eliminated than you might expect. Sure, it’s happened in seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, too, but three contestants in one season seems like a lot. So why did three women turn down the chance to woo Gerry Turner?
Marina left the series to attend to an “urgent family matter”
Marina Perera, a teacher from California, was the first The Golden Bachelor contestant to self-eliminate. The single mother left the competition early without getting a chance to speak to Gerry Turner before heading home.

[This story includes spoilers for the latest episode of ABC’s The Golden Bachelor.]
Gerry Turner was able to cheer on the women as they learned more about one of his great passions — yep, we’re talking about pickleball — during this week’s installment of The Golden Bachelor.
The latest episode featured a group-date competition as the women paired off for a pickleball tournament that included coaching from newly minted Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and encouragement from Bachelor Nation’s Trista Sutter. The Hollywood Reporter attended the taping of the date, which saw Ellen Goltzer and Kathy Swarts prevail as champions, with Sandra Mason — who stunned everyone with the news that she skipped her daughter’s wedding that day to participate — receiving the date rose.
“I’m not going to lie — my excitement was as high as theirs,” Turner quipped to THR about the athletic showdown. “But I think the most impressive part was how hard they were trying. They really wanted to learn the game.
