The Golden Bachelor Season 2 Episode Recaps
S2, Episode 9: ‘Finale and After the Final Rose’
The moment of truth arrived in Antigua as Mel finally faced his biggest decision yet. A tense date with Cindy during Fantasy Suite week ended in heartbreak when she walked away after realizing Mel wasn’t ready to fully commit. Then, on a beach straight out of a fairytale, Mel offered Peg Munson a stunning promise ring, of sorts — not the usual franchise finish, but definitely a headline-making choice for Bachelor Nation.

S2, Episode 8: ‘Week 7’
It was Fantasy Suite week in Antigua, marking Mel’s last chance to deepen his final two connections before the season finale. From romantic dancing and a champagne toast with Peg to swimming with stingrays and navigating an awkward discussion with Cindy, it was chemistry versus caution in real time. But just as emotions peaked, Mel and Cindy’s tough conversation ended on a cliffhanger — leaving fans to wonder where all this is headed. With the season finale next week, Bachelor Nation is officially holding its breath.

S2, Episode 7: ‘The Women Tell All’
It was “The Women Tell All” night, and Bachelor Nation got exactly what it came for — tears, truth-bombs, and a few well-aimed jabs. Mel faced the women he once wooed, while Nicolle took the hot seat to defend her Housewives hustle. Between fiery confrontations and heartfelt apologies, the drama hit peak Golden Bachelor levels. Now, all eyes are on Antigua, where Peg, Cindy, and Mel’s final rose await.

S2, Episode 6: ‘Week 6’
Mel hit the road for hometowns, meeting the families of his final three ladies — Peg in Las Vegas, Debbie in Denver, and Cindy in Austin. Each woman took the intimate opportunity to wear her heart on her sleeve, but Mel’s hesitation was hard to miss. Now, Bachelor Nation is on the edge of their seats — will he be ready to settle down with anyone? Back at the mansion, Mel handed roses to Peg and Cindy, bringing Debbie’s journey to an emotional close.

S2, Episode 5: ‘Week 5’
Things got real at the Butterfly Mountain retreat, where even mud baths and tantric yoga couldn’t mask the pressure — and Carol, doubting her connection with Mel, dropped out on her own terms. Mel then whisked Cindy away on a magical one-on-one under the stars, locking in her place in the final three. At the rose ceremony, Mel bid farewell to Nicolle and Cheryl, leaving Peg, Debbie, and Cindy headed into hometown week.

Mel turned on the charm at the OC Fair, winning Peg’s heart (and a rose) between funnel cakes, Ferris wheels, and a KC and The Sunshine Band concert that hit all the right nostalgic notes. The ladies hit the beach for a glam photoshoot that got sandy and a bit spicy with Carol stealing both the show and the group date rose. Back at the mansion, Nicolle’s Housewives ambitions stirred the pot, and by night’s end, three ladies were sent home.

Sparks flew with Gerri, who snagged the First Impression rose, while nine hopefuls got benched before the first week was over.
