The Golden Bachelor‘s Gerry Turner is more than halfway through his once-in-a-lifetime journey to find love, and with one week left until Hometown Dates, the roses have never been more meaningful.
“We’re literally a week away from Hometowns. The next time I give out roses it means that I’m going to meet their family. That’s actually a bit scary right now,” Gerry said at the end of Episode 4. “I never imagined that I would get to the intensity of feelings that I have and yet realize that there can be only one at the end of this journey. I want to find the woman that I can’t live without.”
Episode 4 gave Bachelor Nation a pickleball tournament to remember, a glimpse at the 72-year-old grandfather’s shockingly large tattoo, and a spicy game of Never Have I Ever. But we also said goodbye to three out of four ASKN members: April, Kathy, and Nancy. And judging by the Episode 5 previews, one-on-one time with first impression rose winner Faith Martin, a carnival group date, and a roller coaster of emotions.
Curious if The Golden Bachelor is on tonight, October 26? Wondering when you can watch The Golden Bachelor Episode 5? Or trying to find out how to watch The Golden Bachelor live on ABC or on Hulu? We’ve got you covered.
Here’s everything to know about The Golden Bachelor Episode 5.
Want to know when Gerry Turner and his six remaining women will be back on your screen? The Golden Bachelor Episode 5 premieres October 26 on ABC ahead of a new episode of Bachelor in Paradise.
Last week’s episode of The Golden Bachelor was delayed by President Biden’s address to the nation, but this week we’re back to our regular schedule, with Episode 5 airing from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
Five weeks into the season we’re still struggling to erase “Bachelor Mondays” from the brain, so as a reminder, new episodes of The Golden Bachelor (and Bachelor in Paradise) air on ABC Thursdays (not Mondays!) until further notice. That means episodes will be available to stream on Hulu every Friday.
As noted, The Golden Bachelor will air new episodes on ABC Thursdays from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. ahead of a two-hour episode of Bachelor in Paradise. Here’s how to watch.
Hoping to catch the Bachelor franchise’s Thursday night lineup live? If you have a cable subscription that includes ABC, you can watch The Golden Bachelor live by setting your TV to the proper channel a few minutes before new episodes air. You can also use your cable username and password to watch live ABC episodes live on ABC.com or with the ABC app. And if your cable package includes a DVR, you can always record live episodes for later viewing.
Don’t have cable? Don’t worry! There are other live viewing options, like live TV skinny bundles, which give you access to networks without cable. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and fuboTV, all come with ABC. But if you don’t have cable or a live TV skinny bundle, you can stream episodes the following day on Hulu. Here’s how to watch The Golden Bachelor online.
Like other shows in the franchise, The Golden Bachelor episodes will be available for next-day streaming on Hulu. If an episode airs on ABC on Thursday, that means it will be available for next-day streaming on Friday, so Episode 5 will be ready to stream on Friday, October 27.
You’ll need to be a Hulu subscriber in order to watch The Golden Bachelor the day after episodes air on ABC. The good news is you’ll have access to the episode with any version of the streaming service. The bad news? Hulu recently raised some of its prices. The streamer’s least expensive ad-supported plan now costs $7.99 a month (or $79.99 a year), while its ad-free option is $17.99 a month. If you choose to add Live TV to your plan you can select an ad-supported Hulu + Live TV now with Disney+ and ESPN+ bundle for $76.99 a month or go ad-free for $89.99 a month.
