Golden Bachelor Mel Owens slammed for saving woman who admitted she’s on the show to be ‘an influencer’ and NOT for love
GOLDEN Bachelor Mel Owens slammed for saving contestant Nicolle Kate after she confessed that making a connection with him wasn’t her goal while on the show.
The yoga instructor received a rose on Wednesday night’s episode, despite complaints from the other ladies over the real reason she joined the competition.
Mel, 66, is now down to six contestants after an emotional ceremony that had an unexpected outcome.
Fans’ jaws dropped when Nicolle, 64, was the last woman to receive a rose after her true intentions came to light throughout the episode.
Earlier, viewers watched Nicolle get candid with her co-stars about her motives, saying her goal was to become “an influencer” and grow her social media following, rather than finding love.
The Florida native shared her plan to post more content focused on clean eating and nutrition and use her Golden Bachelor fame to her advantage.

She also slammed the first season’s Golden Bachelor contestants, claiming that those competing for Mel’s heart were a much better-looking group.
Nicolle continued her honesty train later, revealing she initially wanted to boost her name in the health and nutrition industry, but pivoted to the reality TV scene, with hopes that would give her the recognition she’s vying for.
FAIR WARNING
Several of the ladies caught on to Nicolle’s apparent ulterior motives, particularly Robin Rocha, 63, who attempted to warn Mel that not everyone was being their “authentic” selves.
Although she didn’t refer to anyone by name, Mel brushed off the claim and couldn’t fathom that any of the ladies weren’t being genuine.
However, Nicolle further showed that, for her, it might’ve been more about the game than the relationship with Mel when she later gifted the former NFL star homemade lemon bars made by several of the ladies and passed them off as solely her own.
Mel admitted in a confessional interview that he had a strong attraction to Nicolle and was eager to see how things developed between the pair.
But the other contestants repeatedly side-eyed Nicolle, as they worried Mel wouldn’t see past her fasad and choose her over them.
That’s precisely what ended up happening for some of the women in the end, including Robin, who, despite her best efforts to alert Mel about Nicolle’s antics, was sent home.
‘GOLDEN HOUSEWIVES’
Fans were shocked by Mel’s decision and expressed their frustrations online.
“Robin absolutely should have spilled the tea on Noelle,” one person wrote on X.
“Nicolle makes me want to vomit!” complained another.
“Nicolle is kind of a rotten person,” said a third.
“Is this chick trying to create a Golden Housewives?” someone else added about Nicolle’s apparent hunger for fame.
“She just called last year’s cast dogs….,” a fifth pointed out.
Nicolle has made it clear she’s in the game to win, as just two weeks ago, cameras captured the blonde beauty half-naked with Mel in the pool.

The duo shared an intimate moment while the other ladies vying for the football star’s heart looked on.
Many thought it was a bold move, and it caused one of the women, Cindy, to break down in tears over the blatant PDA.
