Mel Owens’ Final Two Finalists Revealed for Fantasy Suites (SPOILERS)

The Golden Bachelor Season 2 lead Mel Owens has chosen his final two wives, with whom he will share Fantasy Suite evening dates after meeting their families during their hometown dates. Mel, a 66-year-old NFL player turned lawyer and divorced father of two sons from Detroit, Michigan, began his career Golden Baccalaureate course with 23 women, aged 58 to 77 years old. He faced intense backlash before the start of his season due to ageist comments he made on the In the trenches podcast.

Mel had said he only wanted to date women aged 45 to 60 and would exclude anyone over 60 from his cast. Additionally, he stated that he did not want to date women with artificial hips or wigs. For this reason, many Golden Baccalaureate fans called for his firing. However, Mel’s season started with her apologizing to women, and her path to finding love has been successful so far.

Throughout The Golden Bachelor season 2, Mel has formed strong relationships with his final 3 wives: Cindy Cullers, a 60-year-old divorced retired biomedical engineer from Austin, Texas; Debbie Siebers, a 65-year-old fitness professional from Denver, Colorado, who has never been married; and Peg Munson, a 62-year-old divorced retired firefighter and bomb technician from Las Vegas, Nevada. Now he has narrowed them down to his final two after a shocking elimination.

Mel chose Cindy and Peg for her overnight dates in her fantasy suite

After Mel met Cindy, Debbie and Peg’s families, he chose Cindy and Peg for his one-night dates in Fantasy Suite. Mel’s first hometown date was with Peg in Las Vegas, where he met his fellow firefighters as well as her mother, brother, sister-in-law, daughter and daughter’s boyfriend. Peg told her mother that she would say yes to a proposal from Mel.

At Cindy’s date in Austin, he met her three daughters, her son-in-law, and her future son-in-law. She told her daughters that she would be willing to move to California for Mel. Cindy also let Mel know that she was falling in love with him, but she stopped herself from telling him that she loved him because she needed more reassurance from him before saying it.

Mel sent Debbie home

When Mel chose Cindy and Peg as his final two wives, it meant he had to say goodbye to Debbie. During her hometown appointment in Denver, Mel met her two brothers, her two sisters, including her twin, and her brother-in-law. Debbie had told Mel that she was falling in love with him and they seemed to have a very deep connection. However, his bonds with the other women were stronger, so he shockingly sent her home.

Even though Debbie was devastated by Mel’s breakup with her, she wished him well. She said in her confessional that she put herself out there in a big way, only to have another disappointment. Debbie cried that it was “beyond pain.”

It’s going to be very exciting to see who Mel chooses in the end – Cindy or Peg – and whether he proposes to her. It would also be wonderful to see Debbie become the next star of The Golden Bachelorette. Mel, Cindy, Peg and Debbie all deserve love and happiness and hopefully they will find it sooner rather than later and live happily ever after.
