The Golden Bachelor – reality blurred

The Golden Bachelor, Gerry, and the one he picked will get married live on TV, assuming they both live for another month.

So many treacherous decisions on behalf of The Golden Bachelor’s producers, such fear I had for the cast’s safety and well-being!

ABC’s The Golden Bachelor didn’t stray from the formula, but its cast, including 71-year-old Gerry Turner and a group of women ages 60 to 75, really grounded the show.

about reality blurred

Welcome! I’m Andy Dehnart, a writer who obsessively and critically covers reality TV, focusing on how it’s made and what it means.

I created reality blurred 23 years ago as a place to collect interesting links I found. Today, I review and recommend reality shows, documentaries, and nonfiction entertainment; analyze news and report from behind the scenes; and interview people who create and star in reality TV shows. You’ll also find other people’s insightful takes on reality TV in these pages, too.

I believe pop culture can both entertain and affect us, and so reality blurred’s goal is to amplify the best and hold the worst accountable. In other words, I’m here to call it out when it sucks and celebrate it when it’s amazing. Let’s talk about it together!
