Who Didn't Receive a Rose on The Golden Bachelor?
Barry 'Bear' Myrden is giving out roses to the ladies on The Golden Bachelor Australia 2025, but some must be sent home to find his true match.
Introduction of Contestants and Host
The first episode introduced 20 contestants, all in their 50s and 60s. Samantha Armytage hosts Australia's first version of the US series.
First Rose and Ceremony Details
Bear's first rose went to Jan, a 66-year-old age transformation coach, for making a great first impression. After a lively event with harbour views, the rose ceremony sent three women home immediately.
Jan’s Romantic Connection and Elimination
Jan joined Bear for a romantic ballet performance at the Sydney Opera House, where they bonded over past experiences. She shared being deeply hurt by a cheating ex of three years.
"This is so hard, I so absolutely loved the ballet and jumping into everything feet first," Bear told Jan during her elimination. "I wanted a rose tonight, I wanted to continue the journey."
Despite their connection, Bear felt a stronger bond with other contestants, leading to Jan’s departure.
Season Progression
As the 2025 season unfolds, Bear will continue narrowing down the ladies to find his perfect match, with eliminations expected to become more surprising.
