It’s time to bring in another round of roses.
The Golden Bachelorette, which premieres on Wednesday, Sept. 18, features former Golden Bachelor contestant Joan Vassos in her search for a second chance at love. Twenty-four contestants from across the nation and from a range of backgrounds will attempt to win Vassos’ heart — including Mark Anderson, the father of The Bachelor season 28 winner Kelsey Anderson.
“My goal was to leave in a committed relationship,” Vassos told PEOPLE ahead of the season premiere. “I wanted to have somebody I saw a future with and that we wanted to see how it works in the real world outside of the Bachelor bubble. I didn’t want to go through all of this and be at the same place I was when I came to the mansion.”
Check back here each week to see which of the eligible bachelors are still in the running, and which have failed to secure a coveted rose.
