If there’s one lesson from the first season of The Golden Bachelor, it’s that Gerry Turner charmed viewers—and ABC needs to greenlight The Golden Bachelorette without delay. Faith Martin, Gerry’s recently eliminated No. 3, says she’s more than ready to take on the leading role if the opportunity arises.
In an interview with Parade, Faith was asked about her interest in a potential spinoff. “I really don’t even know if there would be a Golden Bachelorette because I don’t know when they’d find time to do it,” Faith admitted. However, she left no doubt about her enthusiasm if the logistics worked out.
“My direct answer would be, ‘Absolutely,’” she revealed. “I would do it because it’s been one of the best experiences of my life doing [The Golden Bachelor], and I would love for them to vet the people that I was interested in dating. Find them for me! Of course, I would say yes.”
Faith’s elimination was an emotional turning point in The Golden Bachelor. During the November 2 Hometown Visits episode, she and Gerry had just expressed their love for each other when the show’s week-6 cliffhanger left fans on edge. The following week’s Women Tell All revealed Gerry’s difficult decision to send Faith home, opting instead to give his final rose to Theresa Nist after an emotional breakdown over his choice.
Faith’s departure left her admirers and Bachelor Nation heartbroken, but it also opened the door for her to take center stage as the first Golden Bachelorette. Her vibrant personality and heartfelt connection with Gerry make her a strong contender for the role.
Faith emphasized how much she valued her time on The Golden Bachelor. “It’s been such a positive, life-changing experience,” she shared. “I learned so much about myself, and I really believe in the process of finding love this way. I’d be thrilled to continue the journey in a way that lets me meet people who are truly compatible with me.”
For fans, the potential of a Golden Bachelorette starring Faith feels like a natural progression. As the landscape of dating shows expands, giving women like Faith the opportunity to lead their own season would not only bring diversity to the franchise but also provide a fresh and inspiring perspective on love and second chances later in life.
Bachelor Nation has already started speculating about who might join Faith’s cast if she becomes the lead. Could it be filled with charming, adventurous suitors ready to woo Faith with their wit and sincerity? One thing’s for sure: viewers are ready for a season filled with heartwarming moments and drama, and Faith is more than prepared to deliver.
For now, the decision lies with ABC. The overwhelming support from fans and Faith’s enthusiastic endorsement make it clear that the time for The Golden Bachelorette is now.
“Faith has already proven she’s an incredible woman with so much to offer,” one fan wrote online. “She deserves her own chance to shine and find someone who’s truly her match.”
With the spotlight on Faith and Bachelor Nation clamoring for more golden moments, it seems like a matter of time before The Golden Bachelorette becomes a reality.
