“I fear,” Owens said, on his way to the “Bachelor” mansion for the premiere episode. “It is a bit overwhelming. Age does not matter. If they walk away, I don’t think of age. I look at feelings for connections. It is chemistry. I hope these women don’t judge me on what they have heard, but they probably do that.”
“It doesn’t matter how old you are,” he said at the start of the episode. “Falling in love never stops being magical.”
Owens sent 10 women home: Maia, 58, Susie, 62, Lisa, 66, Tracy, 62, Lily, 72, Anra, 77, Alexandra, 67, Carla, 62, Diane, 71 and Mylene, 61.
