Send us a text

Ever imagined a septuagenarian stealing the limelight on reality TV and capturing the hearts of millennials? Hold onto your earbuds, because the whirlwind journey of our favorite widower, Gerry, on the unexpected smash hit 'The Golden Bachelor,' did just that! However, things took an abrupt turn in the finale, leaving viewers questioning the authenticity of the show and the portrayal of older adults in this genre. We tear apart the implications of Gerry's surprising decision, the emotional aftermath, and its broader implications on reality TV. 

Switching the channel from reality TV to social media, we find another septuagenarian making waves—this time on TikTok. "TikTok Bubbie", as she is popularly known, defies the norms by showcasing her love for her husband unabashedly. We unwrap her old-school love story, tracing the cultural shift in gender norms, and explore how her  narrative challenges today's societal constructs. So if you're interested in a discussion that straddles reality TV, social media, and the evolution of societal norms, sit back, tune in, and let's get the conversation going!
