The Golden Bachelor made its grand debut on ABC tonight, September 28. The unprecedented concept put a 72-year-old widower in the hot seat as Gerry Turner set his sights on 22 women in hopes of once again finding true love.
The premiere received an overwhelmingly positive reaction from audiences who praised it for showing real emotion and feelings, but along with the fun and giddy moments, there was some drama (this is a Bachelor franchise, after all—spoiler alert, former Bachelor Matt James’ mom Patty went home on night one), and even some emotional scenes that made viewers feel all the feels.
We’ve gathered some of the best tweets about the premiere—here’s what the internet thought.
It only took 60 minutes to be the best Bachelor season ever. I am so down for this. How refreshing to see real feelings and emotions. #TheGoldenBachelor pic.twitter.com/jQrtKmJ8q7
