Golden Bachelor Mel Owens<\/strong> may have spent lots of time last week apologizing for his ageist podcast comments about dating, but they certainly seemed to stick in the ladies\u2019 minds this week.<\/p>\n Episode two of The Golden Bachelor<\/em> kicked off with a chance for the ladies to get a little bit of revenge on Owens in the form of a playful comedic roast, with comedian Jared Freid<\/strong> as the host.<\/p>\n And the ladies didn\u2019t hold back, bringing up Owen\u2019s age comments, his past marriage, and more.<\/p>\n \u201cRoses are red, violets are blue, I want all the women to love me, but especially you\u2026 and you\u2026 and you\u2026 But can I check your IDs first?\u201d\u00a0said contestant Nicolle<\/strong>, doing her impression of Owens during the roast. She ended up winning the roast and getting a one-on-one date with Owens.<\/p>\n During their dinner date, Nicolle decided to dig a little deeper and asked Owens about his divorce. His ex-wife, Fabiana Pimente<\/strong>, filed for divorce<\/a> after falling for another man during the COVID-19 pandemic. Owens admitted he was caught off guard and hurt by the divorce, but that he was open to the commitment of marriage again despite what he had been through.<\/p>\n It seems Owens was really feeling a connection with Nicolle, because the two were also seen making out in the pool<\/a> in front of the other contestants, much to everyone\u2019s shock. Contestant Cindy<\/strong>, who was seen making out with Owens in the previous episode, was particularly upset.<\/a><\/p>\n Owens also had a one-on-one date with contestant Debbie<\/strong>, and gave out roses to her and Nicolle ahead of the rose ceremony.<\/p>\n While Owens was out with Debbie, surprise guests Kathy<\/strong> and Susan<\/strong>, contestants from season 1, guest-hosted a slumber party filled with games where they offered advice and gossiped with the rest of the contestants.<\/p>\n At the rose ceremony, ultimately four women were sent home, Terri, Monica B., Amy, and Monica P., with the rest moving into the next week of the experience.<\/p>\n
