Debbie Is ‘Feeling Hopeful’ After Going Home and Reflects on Her ‘Golden Bachelor’ Journey
Opening up.
Bachelor Nation got to know Debbie as she looked for love with Mel Owens on Season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor.”
Debbie was chosen as one of Mel’s final three women but was sent home this week after her Hometown visit.
Now, she’s reflecting on her “Golden Bachelor” journey and sharing how she’s feeling after being sent home.
In a new video online titled “Feeling hopeful ♥️,” she shared, “Okay, so it’s the day after the big Hometown date… and I definitely got teary-eyed again. It was very bittersweet, but I was surrounded by so much love and so much support.”

Debbie continued, “It’s tough to watch. You know, there’s definitely some cringy moments in there for me. But honestly, I wouldn’t trade in the experience for anything because that’s what life’s all about. Taking chances, putting yourself out there, and I thought, why not? I’m ready to find my person and I’m so happy I had that experience with my family. I will treasure that for the rest of my life. I mean, who has that? …These are exciting times; we’ll see what happens!”
The Golden Bachelor Nation star opened up more in her caption about how she’s feeling since going home, as well as an encouragement to take chances.
She said, “Although it didn’t end the way I had hoped, I am still so grateful that I took this journey. It has opened up my heart and life in so many incredible ways. I would encourage you if you are feeling stuck in your life or struggling with loneliness, that you put yourself out there and take some chances. Get out of your comfort zone and never give up on finding love!”

Debbie ended her post with a note of gratitude for the other women in the house.
She wrote, “Plus, I now have over a dozen of new best friends. How incredible is that at 65 years old!? I hope you enjoyed the episode and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Tune in next week for the women tell episode! ❤️”
We always love hearing from Debbie and we’re so glad she had such a great experience. And yes, make sure to tune in to “The Women Tell All” next week!
Bella Ramsey Tells ‘The Last of Us’ Critics to Not Watch Season 3 If They “Hate It So Much”
Bella Ramsey Tells ‘The Last of Us’ Critics to Not Watch Season 3 If They “Hate It So Much”
The actor, who stars on the HBO show as Ellie, shared the message after Season 2 faced harsh backlash from viewers.

Bella Ramsey is urging critics of The Last of Us to stop watching the show if they don’t like the adaptation of the beloved video games.
Season 2 of the HBO series chronicled the events of PlayStation’s 2020 game
While appearing on “The Awardist” podcast, Ramsey — who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns — was asked to share their reactions to the show’s “louder critics.” They then admitted that they ultimately tried to “steer clear” from the show’s haters.
“Because there’s nothing I can do about it anyway. The show is out. There’s nothing that can be changed or altered. So I’m like, there’s not really any point in reading or looking at anything,” Ramsey explained. “People are of course entitled to their opinions. But it doesn’t affect the show, it doesn’t affect how the show continues or anything in any way. They’re very separate things to me. So no, I just don’t really engage.”
Ramsey went on to tell the show’s critics that they don’t need to tune into the upcoming Season 3. “You don’t have to watch it. If you hate it that much, the game exists. You can just play the game again,” they said. “If you do want to watch it, hope you enjoy it.”
The premiere date for The Last of Us Season 3 has not yet been announced, though the show was renewed for a third season before Season 2 premiered in April.
Prior to the Season 2 premiere, Ramsey made it clear that they wouldn’t tolerate mean comments about the show while gracing the cover of The Hollywood Reporter in April.
Following the success of Season 1, fans pointed out that Ramsey’s physical appearance did not live up to the character’s unrealistic metamorphosis in the video games. Due to the online backlash, Ramsey deactivated their social media accounts.
“I always knew that I’d [deactivate] it one day and never even really wanted to have social media in the first place,” Ramsey said. “It wasn’t like this big dramatic thing, but there was an element of it that was thinking about the show coming out for season two. If I just avoid Twitter and Reddit, which now I’m doing, then everything’s totally fine.”
