Peg Munson and Mel Owens' journey from playful dig to final rose

At the start of the season, Peg made a memorable entrance by attempting to disarm a fake bomb she brought, a nod to her career as a retired firefighter and bomb technician. She also took a sly dig at Mel Owens' controversial podcast statement regarding not wanting to date women who were not fit and had 'artificial hips and wigs'. One of Peg's opening lines for Mel was "Hey, Mel, no fake hips here!" However, her first impression of Mel changed after he apologised to the contestants for his past comments.

Mel and Peg's romantic journey began with a one-on-one date at the Orange County Fair, where their easy chemistry and shared sense of fun became evident. They also bonded over their shared experiences as divorced individuals. For her hometown date in Las Vegas, Peg introduced Mel to her family, including her daughter, Dakota, and fellow firefighters. Her career and bold personality impressed Mel, who called her a 'live wire'. In the season finale, Mel chose the 62-year-old retired firefighter over runner-up, Cindy Cullers. The Golden Bachelor season 2 ended with Mel proposing to Peg and offering her the final rose.

Mel recently revealed that he is once again open to marriage after his painful divorce. If things went right between Mel and Peg, they might even end up walking down the aisle. Fans would be over the moon if it indeed took place. No news regarding the happening is available as of yet. Currently, the couple will remain as fiancés and see what the future holds for them.
