I've thought since the first show expecting the couples to get engaged after a worldwide courtship of only one month is ludicrous, especially considering one of them is dating multiple people. I think the show does need an overhaul. I have plenty of ideas 💡. For instance, one thing that makes it difficult for couples to stay together is they usually live in different parts of the US. Long distance relationships might work if it's a couple hours drive away, but not over 4 hours tops. My suggestion is pick a state find a man to act as bachelor & pick his lot of women to date from that same state, keep the dates local emphasize the sites utilize the local tourism of each state. Pare down the number of women, start with 15. Eliminate 3 first night. First day man spends all day wih all 12 women, to get to know them better before he choses dates. Everyone will get one on one dates, they are half day dates. When he gets down to 7 the one on one dates are all day dates. You wouldn't be spending as much on travel. You could focus more on if they genuinely like each other & want to continue dating. If they do, the show could offer them a vacation the following year if they're still dating or are engaged. It would take a lot of pressure off everyone. Please don't pit the girls against one another, or plant people to cause trouble. Many ways & options to do the shows. You could alternate, or do them both at the same time. Example, every 2 months a new state. Could do men's dating show on Monday, women's dating show on Wednesday. Let show last at least 6-8 weeks. Or first do mans show, then when man show is complete, begin woman's dating show.

I've enjoyed watching this seasons Golden Bachelorette, Joan is the reason. I think Joan is beautiful, kind, honest, a very classy lady, who is worthy of love. I think the one that got away, no one is mentioning is Keith, the one she gave the first impression rose to. He drove up in the station wagon, loaded on top, said he was ready for a day at the beach, with some wine & cheese. He had a big personality, she said he reminded her of her late husband. He was raising his 3 teenage daughters alone due to his ex wife's drug addiction. He could've been a good match. Who isn't a good match... Chock. He divorced his first wife after 12 years doesn't state why they split. Then he met his fiance, I dont know how long he knew her before they got engaged, but it was a long engagement. He said she developed cancer was diagnosed & gone within a matter of a few months. He talked about her being the love of his life, why didn't he marry her before she died? Why was the engagement so long? Seems like he's one of those people that's only interested in the thrill of the chase, then looses interest after it's gone. I've not liked him from the beginning. He's a creep, too handsey- put his hands everywhere on her body, & always trying to stick his tongue down her throat! Very tacky! He has no respect for her acting that way. Her family will be watching this. And acting like your in love with someone the first date, he's trying to push her to have an emotional connection with his physical actions! Can't stand him. Guy on the other hand is respectful, responsible, & isn't trying to eat her face off everytime he sees her. They seem to be a true match & enjoy each other's company. Guy said he's ready to retire, they could have a nice life together. I truly hope she picks Guy for her own sake, & future happiness.
