Golden Bachelor Mel Owens accused of being an | TV Shows

Fans of the Golden Bachelor accused Mel Owens of being an “expert gaslighter” during Wednesday evening’s finale.

In the last episode, the 66-year-old former NFL star was down to two girls: Cindy Cullers and Peg Munson. However, at the start of the finale, Cindy made Mel’s determination simpler when she determined to depart after Mel was not prepared to commit to marriage. Cindy, 60, was prepared for marriage, and Mel appeared hesitant, having talked about that he might suggest in two years. During the finale, which included an after the ultimate rose ceremony phase, the show reunited Cindy and Mel to talk about their breakup.

The dialog was stuffed with rigidity between Mel and Cindy. Viewers watching at home didn’t like how Mel dealt with the dialog and felt as if he was gaslighting her. According to Middle Georgia State University, “the modern definition of gaslighting is a psychological manipulation technique in which a person tries to convince someone that their reality is untrue.”

On X previously Twitter, a individual wrote, “And the #GoldenBachelor is an expert gaslighter! #lame.” A second individual said, “Is he gaslighting her right now? So everything would have changed if she went to the Fantasy Suite?”

Another said, “OhMiGosh….Mel is such a gaslighting piece of s–t….!” A fourth said, “I can’t believe how deliberately Mel is making Cindy’s disappointment Cindy’s fault.”

Their dialog began with Cindy admitting that she thought Mel was the one and was “disappointed” that Mel had gotten that far without telling her he wasn’t prepared for a dedication to her and nor to all the other contestants. She requested when he knew he wasn’t prepared.

Mel claimed he was prepared and said that their dialog wasn’t completed, and his coronary heart and head weren’t there yet. He said they still had the Fantasy Suites, which he said Cindy was not ready for. He said the Fantasy Suites, not only a place for intimacy but speaking, would have given them a lot more time. He reiterated that they never received there.”

The retired biomedical engineer agreed they didn’t get there and explained why. Cindy said, “I wasn’t sure I needed you to lead me to the Fantasy Suites when you could not lead in the connection.” She added that he spoke more to host Jesse Palmer than to her.

Mel doubled down on how they didn’t have time and “did not get there to ask those questions.” He said there are things they could said behind closed doors and without the cameras. Mel argued that Cindy “only needed a proposal” and had forgotten that another person was present. He continued to say, they can’t “leapfrog” over that person, and if he had said that he wanted to propose to her, it would have been “over.”

Mel told Cindy that he doesn’t operate in a “leap of religion” way, so he doesn’t go from “there” to getting married. Cindy replied that “that’s honest” and how she “operates in another way” from him, and that they were “aligned.” She elaborated how the situation “took her by shock” that they had gotten so far before she “noticed it.”

Mel said to Cindy that he wasn’t trying to get her to the Fantasy Suite after she had said that a “larger price was paid” to get her to the Fantasy Suite. Mel insisted he was trying to get her there, but only wanted to talk and said it was her option.

Cindy said she had learned enough, and she was in it for the commitment at the end, but didn’t feel like she was going to get it from Mel. She stressed how she didn’t need a commitment then, but how Mel had said to her that there wasn’t going to be a commitment and he wasn’t going to take a “leap of religion.”

She told Mel that she wasn’t asking him to commit to her, and she was “effectively conscious” that Peg was also there. Mel said to Cindy that she wanted the commitment before the process, and his “coronary heart wasn’t there.”

Mel once more said that they never got there, and that Cindy decided to leave, which was her “prerogative.” Mel added that his feelings toward Cindy were straightforward. He went on to say that Cindy asked him to take a leap of faith, but he doesn’t go from “figuring out a individual and getting married.” He told Cindy that she wanted to get married without the time in between.

Cindy said she was a “clever girl” and knew there would be no wedding at the end of the show. She just had hope for a commitment and “taking this fairytale to its fortunately ever after.”

Mel claimed she wanted to skip ahead and get married. Cindy gave him an example that she wasn’t; she said she was willing to move to California (live separately) so they can pursue a life together as “there’s no rush.” Mel interrupted her, saying, That doesn’t interest me, though.”

Their dialog concluded with Cindy telling Mel that she actually cherished him so a lot and just desires him to be glad. Mel responded with, “Likewise”. Cindy told Jesse she discovered so a lot from this journey, which has made her notice she is prepared, and her individual is “out there.”
