<p id=”par-1_67″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/abc/?swcfpc=1″>ABC </a>has yet to announce who will become the first-ever golden bachelorette. For months, <em>The Golden Bachelor</em> fans have been discussing which contestants from <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/another-alleged-insider-paints-the-golden-bachelor-star-gerry-turner-as-fame-hungry.html/”>Gerry Turner’s season</a> they’d like to see lead their own season. While several names have been tossed around, Susan Noles is a popular pick. The dating show contestant might be a bit too busy to look for love on national TV. Noles is dating a man, and she met him in the most interesting place. </p>

Someone has sparked her interest. She told the publication that she’s been out on a “couple” of dates with a suitor she met while shopping at Marshall’s. </p>

<p id=”par-3_85″>Noles elaborated on the meet-cute. She said a gentleman approached her while she was shopping in Marshall’s and asked for a photo. Apparently, He was a big fan of <em>The Golden Bachelor</em> and didn’t stop at asking for a photo. He scored himself a date and then a follow-up. Noles didn’t mention whether she plans to meet up with her mystery man again, but it sounds promising. If things get serious between Noles and her mystery man, she’s probably out of the running for the first season of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/will-the-golden-bachelorette.html/”><em>The Golden Bachelorette</em>. </a></p>

<p id=”par-4_45″>While a new romance is certainly fun news, Noles’ recent admission has bummed out some <em>The Golden Bachelor</em> fans. Many viewers had hoped that Noles would become the first-ever golden bachelorette. Her new love interest seems to preclude her from appearing as the lead in the series. </p>

<p id=”par-5_40″>Fans might still get to see Noles, though. The fan favorite told People that she isn’t against appearing on <em>The Golden Bachelorette</em>. Still, from the sounds of it, she’s more interested in being a consultant than a woman searching for her golden love. </p>
<p id=”par-6_61″>If Noles is out of the running, there are two other cast members that fans are interested in seeing as the lead. Both Leslie Fhima, the runner-up on Gerry Turner’s season, and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/joan-vassos-would-totally-appear-on-the-golden-bachelorette-but-shed-like-to-see-the-show-have-a-twist.html/”>Joan Vassos</a>, a contestant who self-eliminated to attend to a family emergency, are heavily discussed by fans. Viewers have argued that either woman deserves another chance at finding love. </p>
