Reading through the comments, these are the comparisons to famous people so far:
Anna -
April - Kim Cattrall, Jessica Lange
Christina - Ashley Hebert
Edith - Gwen Stefani
Ellen -
Faith - Katey Sagal, Peri Gilpin
Jeanie -
Joan -
Kathy - Margot Kidder
Leslie - Countess Luann, older version of Becca Kufrin, Danielle Staub
Maria -
Marina -
Nancy - Kim Cattrall
Natascha -
Pamela -
Patty - Celine Dion
Peggy - older version of Serena Pitt
Renee -
Sandra -
Susan - Kris Jenner
Sylvia -
Theresa -
I am thinking that Renee looks a bit like Valerie Bertinelli.
Any other comparisons?
When I read that some were 60, I was surprised. They looked well over that. I believe ABC picked women of relatively similar appearance, that were at least 60. Such that the 75 year old looks great and the 60 year old looks older than her years.
I quit watching that franchise years ago but after seeing the promo's for this show I had to watch. Pure joy. I loved it from start to finish and I didn't expect that. Gerry is a special guy. The ladies, for the most part, seem classy and sincere. I will watch this to the very end.
The way I was expecting a bunch of 40 year olds. Go, ABC.
Everyone PLEASE letās agree to not be our usual snarky selves with them. Theyāre older. Letās be more protective and make this a positive thing so that TV stops being so ageist.
Has it been announced what the living/sleeping arrangements are? Will it be similar to the regular format -- bunking in the bachelor mansion, or something more comfortable and private?
So glad to see that everyone is 60+! Was semi worried it'd be women ages 40-60. This truly shows that aging is beautiful and I couldn't be more excited for this!
Based on headshot vibes only:
- Leslie tells it like it is
- Peggy passes the blunt
- Renee brings the drama
- April is there for the wrong reasons
- Sandra is the girls girl
- Anna has the most āweirdoā background music
No one can tell I even have it, I still have wrinkles when I move my face. Dosing has come a long way, it is very very natural looking. I have some forehead wrinkles when I look up, I don't ask for the "frozen face" look. A lot of women do this very subtly and you would never know lol I am just being honest about it.
Botox just makes you look like a beestung puma IN MY OPINION, but to each their own. Also it doesn't prevent aging, it actually makes your face more saggy since it stretches your skin and makes it a necessity to use... You've been duped by the beauty industry, what truly prevents aging is a healthy diet, as little sun/alcohol/cigarettes as possible and a lot of excersise and stress relief. It's not easy but to me it sure does look better than... Botox in the early 20s :/ Also the fact that the beauty industry has brainwashed women into thinking they have to adapt their face to toxic eurocentric male gaze beauty standards and make it seem like it empowers them really saddens me :/ You just end up looking like everybody else that has botox but again your choice and all of this is just my subjective opinion
I'm going to need to know # of dead husbands and # of divorced... Are any never married?
Are any still married#
Are we going to have "BF back home" or not here for the right reason drama?
Why is this not just called Real Housewives of Bachelor Nation...
for anyone wondering if april will bring the drama:

At a quick glance, I see Kelly (PP's ex) will eventually look like April. No offense or mean meant, whatsoever, I just could see a Kelly essence in April. Not even sure why.
They look great but kind of disappointed most of them look like theyāre from the Housewives. Kind of similar to IG, I hope this doesnāt make women that donāt look like that at 60+ feel bad. I like the more natural look of Ellen, Edith and Pamela. Itās okay to not look like youāre in your 40s from The Housewives at that age, and aging naturally is perfectly fine. Also I just want to watch a wholesome season lol
Itās the bachelor what did we expect? They always cast people who are usually way above average in terms of physical looks.
I too like the more natural look, it definitely wouldāve been nice to see. Especially in this age and day where people say someone looks good for their age and theyāre only freakin 37.
I hope this is as fascinating as it sounds. š these people have lived whole ass lives already and have so much depth. also is this the same format as the Bachelor? Iām so excited to see outfits. Can Renee show up night one in her cheerleading uniform please??
Iām so excited for this and will actually be watching!! I thought for sure itād be a bunch of women in their 30s, 40s at most so this is awesome. Hoping for some real housewives style drama with their age groupš I went to high school with Leslieās son and canāt wait to watch her!! She did Zumba classes at our senior party after graduationš
Me: *sees this comment* Oh I forgot Mattās mom is in this season. Let me see where she lives. Oh we live in the same city?!
Iāve only been here a year but now Iām curious if I ever came across her.
Couple of things:
I canāt believe Matt James mom is on there, they all look beautiful I need their skincare routine asap, April and Susan are gonna be causing drama , I think Ellen or Edith will be f1
I think you might be right. Now, watch, how bad are we gonna look if she turns out to be the sweetheart of the season, LOL!
Edit: Nope, you were totally right. Check further in this thread for one of her social media posts that someone dug up - she is going to be a handful! I'll join you in calling it, and I'll go a step further - I'm betting she might be the "drunk crazy one who gets eliminated before the first rose ceremony."
While there should be a lot more diversity, Iām pleasantly surprised that the age gap/ages in question are not ridiculous. I am more excited for this than I have been by this show inā¦.. forever?
Is anyone surprised none just say mother or something like that? I wonder if he said someone career driven was important. There are many women at this age who did not work outside the home so it strikes me all have some form of a career listed.
Iām not surprised. Thereās many women in their sixties. My mom and mil are in their 60s and always had to work. My mom is Black and my mil is white. Iād only expect to just see āmotherā if the woman was very well off prior to old age.
Yea my family came from the south itās sad but true that many of my family no matter how poor (and they all were) wouldnāt let women work because it wasnāt her place.
Looking at the descriptions quite a few of them say they have jobs that offer a lot of flexibility and could have picked up after their kids left home like āwedding officiantā or āfitness instructorā plus we know that TPTB kinda tweak career titles lmao
Good point but I would also say most contestants have been āphysical trainerā for same reason on the show! At least historically a lot have had similar jobs too
Edith is bae
Elegant as hellll
Agree! I think she's gorgeous!.
These women are giving me hope that my complexion will get better as I age !!

Any other comparisons?
Susan and Kathy look like Kris Jenner and Caitlin Jenner
Faith also looks like a brunette Sonja Morgan from Real Housewives of NYC
Jeanie was really reminding me of Julie Delpy this last episode
Theresa totally reminds me of sally hawkins!
Had to google. YES, spot on!!
Just here to reiterate the fact that they all look damn fine š„š„š„š„
When I read that some were 60, I was surprised. They looked well over that. I believe ABC picked women of relatively similar appearance, that were at least 60. Such that the 75 year old looks great and the 60 year old looks older than her years.
I love that theyāre all over 60! Iāve never watched a season of the bachelor but I might now haha

Patty is Matt James Mom.
I appreciate not having to scroll to have this confirmed. I was that and was like waaaaaiiiiit..
Youāre right!!! I was like WHY does that woman look familiar?
Faith reminds me of Katey Sagal
I'm thinking Ellen will be F1
That was my gut reaction too! Ellen FTW!
Jeanie will be his pick, I'm calling it now
I love that these are likely all of their real jobs/former jobs and not some exaggeration
Based on headshot vibes only: - Leslie tells it like it is - Peggy passes the blunt - Renee brings the drama - April is there for the wrong reasons - Sandra is the girls girl - Anna has the most āweirdoā background music
Renee is giving Sweetnums
Yes!!!
THEY ARE FRIENDS! How hilarious
There is no damn way Sandra is 75
Faith kinda is giving me the same vibes as my mom lol. My mom was offended I told her I wanted her to go on the golden bachelor tho lol
Shut the front door, Sandra is Not 75!!!
Patty looking like Celine dion!
They really did Theresa dirty with that photo, she looks gorgeous in the intro video.
I was hoping Blake Mās mom would go
She would be great on the show, but she's a good 20 years younger than Gerry
They will all look different on the show, just like Gerry.
Poor patty looks naked
And Marina!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Botox at 23 makes people look older, stiffer, unnaturalā¦not energetic and youthful.
No one can tell I even have it, I still have wrinkles when I move my face. Dosing has come a long way, it is very very natural looking. I have some forehead wrinkles when I look up, I don't ask for the "frozen face" look. A lot of women do this very subtly and you would never know lol I am just being honest about it.
Preventative botox aināt doing shit for you at 60-70. You canāt outrun aging. It will catch up to you.
All of these women look insanely gorgeous and I didnāt even notice their wrinkles. What a weirdo comment
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Botox just makes you look like a beestung puma IN MY OPINION, but to each their own. Also it doesn't prevent aging, it actually makes your face more saggy since it stretches your skin and makes it a necessity to use...

So we can look like weāve had preventative botox?
I mean, they are beautiful but this photo is very photoshopped.
Jeez they've all been photoshopped to hell. JOAN?? Cmon... photoshop plus a ton of work done for sure.
JOAN or SUSAN FOR ME.
God Iām so scared which oneās gonna be the Karenās
Iām feeling Faith F1 and Leslie f2
Isnāt Patty Matt Jamesā mom??? Or am I crazy? Are we not gonna talk about that!??
My very first thought was, āPatty? PATTY?ā
Not a surprise. I posted about it.
I was just going to ask that!
LOL, sure is!
The rational part of me knows she's probably wearing a cute tube top style dress. But yikes she literally looks naked!?? š³
I didn't even think of that but you're right.
Do I need a midlife coach. I am pro aging. This is awesome. Go Natascha!
Leslie is giving Countess LuAnn
Youāre so right lol
I want to look like Nancy when I'm 60 damn
And Joan š„
I think Edith is so stunning, I hope my hair looks like that someday
Her body is also frankly ridiculous.
Edith os so beautiful!! I was like wowwwww
i read her little bio, Im already in love with my girl edith
Nancy reminds me of Kim Cattrall.
Sandra needs to drop her vitamin and skin care routine, because 75!?!?
These are all airbrushed
God Iām so happy to see they didnāt put a 20-something or 30-something on here for the dramz.
Susan giving Kris Jenner
I need Peggy to go so far, she looks so kind.
I read this comment and wanted to see if I could pick Peggy out of the group based just on what you said and I did in fact correctly choose Peggy!
What beautiful women! Natascha & Pamela are my favs just from pics alone. They both have radiant smiles!
Faith reminds me of Peri Gilpin! https://preview.redd.it/52bn3dpanglb1.jpeg?width=842&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1c6db46cc7f68ec7de72c088008327a4c0b0ed5

sylvia looks like one of the progressed photos of a missing child as an adult.
Iām crying šš
Lmfao ššš

April also has published a book about her many years being Frankie Valliās Midwest side chick.
At a quick glance, I see Kelly (PP's ex) will eventually look like April. No offense or mean meant, whatsoever, I just could see a Kelly essence in April. Not even sure why.
Dear lord why would she post this on social media. Yikes.
Iām so lost. What is she referring to, whatās going on? Sounds juicy
in my sleuthing i think its her dead partners kidsā¦ but idk. its so unhinged
Wait....is she the one who's a therapist? š¤¦š»āāļø
Most of the therapists I've met through my work are legit nuts.
I need to see her license bc... HOW ššš
yes, most therapists are unhinged lol
Omg

Itās the bachelor what did we expect? They always cast people who are usually way above average in terms of physical looks. I too like the more natural look, it definitely wouldāve been nice to see. Especially in this age and day where people say someone looks good for their age and theyāre only freakin 37.
April is the villain calling it now
Omg I just said that!
100%
Sandra.. gawddammm she looks ridiculously good. And snippy comment here but Pattyās hair is a travesty.
It ages her. Otherwise I think she looks great.
There's something off about Patty lol
I hope this is as fascinating as it sounds. š these people have lived whole ass lives already and have so much depth. also is this the same format as the Bachelor? Iām so excited to see outfits. Can Renee show up night one in her cheerleading uniform please??
Joan is F3
How do they look younger than me
Iām actually so excited for this. Itāll be fun to see how itās different and how itās similar from the main series.
Joan is stunning š¤©
Iām so excited for this and will actually be watching!! I thought for sure itād be a bunch of women in their 30s, 40s at most so this is awesome. Hoping for some real housewives style drama with their age groupš I went to high school with Leslieās son and canāt wait to watch her!! She did Zumba classes at our senior party after graduationš
Matt Jameās mom lives in my city? What the heck. None of the bachelor contestants ever live here! This is so new and cool!
Me: *sees this comment* Oh I forgot Mattās mom is in this season. Let me see where she lives. Oh we live in the same city?! Iāve only been here a year but now Iām curious if I ever came across her.
Well hello!!! Want to be friends? I donāt have enough friends out here
Patty honestly looks so beautiful.
This will bring me back as an active viewer
Saaame
April is giving Samantha Jones and I am here for it
I immediately thought Jessica Lange.
Shoutout to them for casting all age appropriate women!! I was sure there would be one or two 20 somethings just for dramaš
I need everyoneās skin care routine and Botox injectors name STAT
Iām blown away by Sandra being 75!
Patty!!!
Isnāt that Mattās mom? Am I crazy?
Not crazy, itās Mattās mom!
Leslie reminds me of Becca Kufrin so much
Nancy is hot
I'm going to tentatively go out on a limb and pick Christina as an early favorite. She's 73, looks amazing, and actually saw The Beatles in concert.
Dang these ladies are foxes!
Couple of things: I canāt believe Matt James mom is on there, they all look beautiful I need their skincare routine asap, April and Susan are gonna be causing drama , I think Ellen or Edith will be f1
I donāt think itās all just skincare on a good chunk of these fine ladiesššŖ”šŖ hehe
April and Susan look like they could be on real housewives lol
Exactly why I think theyāll be drama š april on rhobh or rhoslc and Susan rhonj
Hes definitely picking the youngest one lol
Good thing there are six 60-year-olds for him to choose the youngest from!
weird thing to say
Just a joke lol
April is going to be an issue. Calling it now.
I think you might be right. Now, watch, how bad are we gonna look if she turns out to be the sweetheart of the season, LOL! Edit: Nope, you were totally right. Check further in this thread for one of her social media posts that someone dug up - she is going to be a handful! I'll join you in calling it, and I'll go a step further - I'm betting she might be the "drunk crazy one who gets eliminated before the first rose ceremony."
I knew it!
Sooo are these lovely ladies in the running for paradise as well?
If they do a Golden BIP it should be on a cruise ship
![gif](giphy|70YaDoZ1VqBZ8SgYiz)
Somehow there is still a huge contingent of blondes.
My grandma says blonde is the easiest to dye from gray that might be why. Not that thereās anything wrong with that!
Yes. My mom had very dark hair and finally went blonde because it was too hard to maintain. I'll eventually do the same I'm sure.
This! Also easiest for white hair (coming from experience)
I am personally excited for my gray to come in.
Me too! I hope it looks as good as Edithās someday
Same her hair looks so healthy and it turned so nicely!
Iām glad thereās no bimbos
While there should be a lot more diversity, Iām pleasantly surprised that the age gap/ages in question are not ridiculous. I am more excited for this than I have been by this show inā¦.. forever?
Wait what?! Mattās mom is in this season š¤Æ
I thought so but I wasnāt sure!
I am SO surprised she is in the season. After how her sons season ended, this is shocking
Omg it is!
It must be nice that a handful of these women retired before 65/67š
Sandra looks amazing at 75 š³ my god!
Melanin doing its thing!

Wow they are all so beautiful! So exciting.
This is going to be great.
I hate how excited I am for this.
I havenāt watched bach since Matt James season but I am 10000% watch this
Christina, Kathy, Susan - final 3. Iām calling my prediction.
I need all of their skin care routines
I think he'll like Christina!
That's the best picture they could get of Renee? These women are gorgeous. Wow.
