ABC on Tuesday revealed the 24 “distinguished gentlemen” who will be competing for Vassos’ heart in the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette, and it’s quite an assortment of suitors.
Vassos, who lost her husband of 32 years to pancreatic cancer, competed for Gerry Turner’s heart in Season 1 of The Golden Bachelor last fall, but she had to withdraw from the competition in Week 3 due to a family emergency.
Since we didn’t get to spend a ton of time with Vassos before her untimely exit, here’s a bit more about her, per ABC: “Vassos is a remarkable woman whose life has been defined by her resilience, zest for adventure and strong family values. It was those family values that led to her heartbreaking decision to leave The Golden Bachelor, self-eliminating after a medical concern with her daughter arose.”
“Despite that and other challenges she’s faced along the way … Vassos remains an embodiment of strength and grace as a devoted mother of four, grandmother of three, and school administrator while finding solace in the music of Elton John, spending time with her dog and cooking,” the description continues. “Now, as she steps into the golden spotlight and begins her journey to seek love once more, Vassos envisions a future filled with shared moments by the beach and cherished time with family.”
The Golden Bachelorette premieres Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 8/7c on ABC.
Read on for a breakdown of Vassos’ 24 potential matches — complete with age, location and career — then drop a comment with your early predictions. Are you expecting any of these guys to make it far? And do you foresee any going home first?
