There Are Signs That 'Golden Bachelor' Mel Owens Ended up With His Season's Biggest 'Villain'
Mel Owens might have been hit with some serious karma after leaving a rocky first impression as the second ever Golden Bachelor.
The 66-year-old former linebacker seems smitten with a woman who is being dubbed this season’s villain after an October 8 episode revealed that she seems to be more focused on getting social media followers than finding love with Mel.
Nicolle Kate, who made a strong impression early in the season when she made out with Mel in a pool in front of the other women, revealed her ulterior motives in a conversation with some of the other women while Mel was out on a one-on-one date with Peg.

“It makes me pause, but she didn’t name names, so we really don’t know,” Mel said in a confessional. “I think everybody’s here for the right reasons, but I appreciate her telling me that, and that’s her opinion. Overall, I think it’s a genuine bunch of women.”
