It's just about time for Mel Owens to start handing out Golden roses. ABC announced the cast for season 2 of The Golden Bachelor on Thursday, September 4, with the women ranging from 58 to 77 years old. Bachelor Nation has been curious about the casting for the second installment of the senior franchise after leading man Mel, 66, came under fire for remarks about "cutting" any women over 60 from the show. He addressed the scandal in an interview last month after production had already begun.
