Meet the women looking for love on 'The Golden Bachelor': PHOTOS
Gerry Turner's search for love on the Bachelor franchise's new show begins Sept. 28 on ABC.
LOS ANGELES -- The women of "The Golden Bachelor" were revealed Wednesday!
The 22 contestants, who are between the ages of 60 and 75, will be vying for a shot at love with 71-year-old Gerry Turner, a retired restaurateur from Indiana.
"What I hope is that I can look at one of these women, and know that I found the right person," Turner said of his experience on the romantic reality TV show.
Just like Gerry, many of these golden ladies had decades-long relationships, children and grandchildren and are ready to open themselves up to someone else again.
"I don't want to be alone anymore. I want to be in love again," Theresa said in the cast announcement video.
"People have a mental picture of what a 73-year-old person is and what they look like, which is not me," contestant Christina added.
