True confessions: as Two Old Bitches, we fully expected the Golden Bachelor to
be the height of cringey, old-people porn. Watching 22 women in their 60s and
70s compete for the affections of one old man threatened gladiator-level, fury-
induced female feuds. And were we ever wrong! Kathy Swarts, one of the
most memorable of the contestants, set us straight in our delightful
conversation with her. Kathy, at 70 years old, helped us understand that the
real story of the Golden Bachelor is not a longed-for romance between a man
and a woman --in this case, Gerry Turner and his choice, Theresa Nist who
married immediately after the show ended to only announce their divorce
three months later in mid-April! The real story is the phenomenal friendships
forged by the gutsy, adventurous and authentic women who were chosen to
‘contest.’ Join us to hear Kathy, and two other contestants who make surprise
cameo appearances, reveal how their experiences on the show awakened
new curiosities and aspirations. From finding a man who loves life as much as
she does to hosting her own TV show, Kathy, and her new crew of friends, are
exploring a new range of possibilities for what’s next. We’re sure you’ll want to
know more so once you’ve tuned in to this TOB episode, join Kathy and
Susan Noles, another contestant, for their new podcast, The Golden Hour. This
conversation roused our interest in delving into the diverse approaches and
stories of ‘later daters,’ so if you have an experience to share about dating in
your 60s, 70s or 80s – or why you’ve decided to forego the experience –
please reach out to us through our website or DM us on Instagram or
Facebook! Enjoy the show!
