The former professional football player, 66, began his journey as The Golden Bachelor on Wednesday, Sept. 24. During the show's premiere, Owens was forced to confront controversial comments he made about his cast over the summer, saying on a podcast he would only consider women between the ages of 45-60.
"I messed up. I was wrong. I replay it in my head a lot. I have regrets and I'm sorry for all things I've said on the podcast," he continued. "I know what a lot of people are thinking about me, but that's not who I am."
"I was offended, just because someone might be 50 doesn't mean they are more attractive than someone who is 62," said one contestant. "We all can say really dumb things sometimes, so I needed to form my own opinion." said another.
