<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Mel Owens<\/strong>\u00a0handed out his final rose on the finale of\u00a0The Golden Bachelor<\/em>.<\/p>\n Owens, 66, walked off into the sunset with\u00a0Peg Munson<\/strong>\u00a0on the Wednesday, November 12, finale episode of the ABC series.<\/p>\n \u201cThis was our time,\u201d Mel told Peg, 62, while on a beach in Antigua. \u201cI trusted you, you trusted me and you told me you had confidence in me that I\u2019d make the right choice and here you are. I have something for you,\u201d he said, revealing a ring that he claimed represents their \u201ccommitment.\u201d<\/p>\n While Mel did not formally propose to Peg, she agreed with his words, gushing over how she found the \u201cperfect\u201d guy for her.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not for everybody, he\u2019s not for everybody, but we\u2019re for each other,\u201d Peg added in a joint confessional.<\/p>\n Earlier in the episode, Cindy, 60, surprised audiences when she self-eliminated during her Fantasy Suite date, claiming that she wasn\u2019t sure where she stood with Mel and\u00a0if he was ready to get married\u00a0at all.<\/p>\n \u201cIt hurts really bad. From day one, I told everyone I though the was my guy,\u201d she said in a confessional. \u201cI hoped he was The One. I\u2019m so disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n Mel, meanwhile, was shocked at her exit, thinking that \u201cthey had a future\u201d but continued the process with Peg, 62, and introduced the former bomb squad technician to his two sons and college friend\u00a0<\/p>\n Mel had admitted during Wednesday\u2019s episode that\u00a0he was \u201ctorn\u201d\u00a0between Cindy and Peg. He previously gave\u00a0Us Weekly<\/em>\u00a0exclusive insight\u00a0into how he made decisions as the season wound down, revealing he made a pros and cons list.<\/p>\n \u201cI usually don\u2019t make those types of lists. I can do it in my head, but when you write stuff down, it\u2019s meaningful,\u201d he said last month, \u201cI wanted to write down my first impressions, the goods, the bads, the neutrals. It really didn\u2019t sway me, but I could still look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n Mel called the process \u201ctough.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just trying to figure out who is going to be the best fit for me, who I would enjoy,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe hometowns are all great. But there\u2019s that magnetism that pulls you in that direction no matter what, and it\u2019s a little bit more toward one person than the other, so I went with my gut.\u201d<\/p>\n The former NFL player went on to praise the set-up for the finale.<\/p>\n \u201cABC can put on a production. We go to Antigua. I\u2019ve never been there. I\u2019ve been to islands, but I\u2019ve never been there,\u201d he said. \u201cBut whoever scouted it out and set it up and got things prepared, just the little details, it\u2019s just so good.\u201d<\/p>\n He then teased, \u201cYou won\u2019t believe how we get there, not mechanically, but how we get there emotionally. There\u2019s some movement and twists and turns.\u201d<\/p>\n The Bachelor franchise has yet to announce plans for another Golden season, but The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul will be the next Bachelorette, with her season premiering in March 2026.<\/p>\n Earlier this year,\u00a0Todd Chrisley<\/strong>\u00a0received a pardon from the President. However,\u00a0Patricia Altschul<\/strong>\u00a0is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this\u00a0Southern Charm\u00a0star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a \u201cfelon\u201d like Todd.<\/p>\n Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming.\u00a0Their tiny tit for tat\u00a0started after Todd\u2019s release from prison. \u201cDuring the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it\u2019s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,\u201d Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, \u201cWell, there goes the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.<\/p>\n So, recently clapping back via\u00a0Decider, Pat quipped, \u201cHe\u2019s very irrelevant. I said four words\u2014there goes the neighborhood \u2014 and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.\u201d Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, \u201cWe just don\u2019t need any more\u00a0felons in Charleston.\u201d<\/p>\n Todd and his wife,\u00a0Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all,\u00a0The Chrisleys: Back to Reality\u00a0stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.<\/p>\n And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward\u00a0her in Charleston.<\/p>\n Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET\/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mel Owens\u00a0handed out his final rose on the finale of\u00a0The Golden Bachelor.
