The Golden Bachelor Season 2 is heading into a two-week finish, and the franchise just staged a combustible “Women Tell All.” Here’s the full finale schedule, every major moment from the reunion, where the Final 2 stand, and the latest spoiler chatter tying the “Golden Bachelor” Mel Owens to Peg Munson.
Finale schedule and where to watch
- Wednesday, November 5, 2025 — Part 1 of the finale (Fantasy Suites focus).
- Wednesday, November 12, 2025 — A two-hour conclusion at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC, followed by “After the Final Rose.”
- Streaming: Episodes become available the next day on Hulu.
Host Jesse Palmer presides over a split finish this year, stretching the Final 2 decision and the live reunion across two Wednesdays rather than one supersized block.

What happened on the ‘Women Tell All’ (October 29, 2025)
The reunion brought back 15 of Mel’s former dates and zeroed in on season-long friction with Nicolle Kate. Multiple women challenged Nicolle’s on-camera remarks about “dating America,” her influencer ambitions, and the now-famous lemon bar dust-up. During the taping, Debbie Siebers delivered one of the night’s sharpest rebukes to Nicolle, saying, “You did not empower us. You dismissed us.”
The hour wasn’t all heat. There were lighter moments, nostalgic clips, and even some comedic roasting of Mel, keeping the mood from boiling over as the show teed up Fantasy Suites and the big decision ahead.

Final 2: Peg Munson vs. Cindy Cullers
The last roses are down to Peg Munson and Cindy (Angelcyk) Cullers. The season framed Peg and Cindy as contrasting fits for Mel’s life, with each connection tested across travel, group dynamics, and family meetings. Fantasy Suites (November 5) are positioned as the defining step before Mel chooses whether to propose in the November 12 live finale.
What Mel Owens has (and hasn’t) said about the ending
Mel, 66, kept the big reveal close but did tease how the last leg plays out emotionally rather than mechanically. About the overnight dates, he explained, “I went in there really wanting to know more, because the cameras are off … and now I can ask questions you might not want to say while you’re miked and on camera.” He also hinted that viewers should expect turns in the road: “You won’t believe how we get there. Not mechanically, but how we get there emotionally. There’s some movement and twists and turns.”
Spoilers in circulation: “Mel Owens reportedly chooses Peg Munson”
Across the spoiler ecosystem, the most consistent claim has been that Mel ends the season with Peg Munson. Several spoiler roundups in the past 48 hours have repeated the same core elements: Peg is 62, she’s framed as a steady match down the stretch, and the final episodes build toward an engagement reveal in the live portion of the November 12 broadcast. While the show has not confirmed the outcome, the two-week format puts that speculation front-and-center heading into Part 1 on November 5.
Contestant & key name checklist (Season 2)
- Mel Owens — 66; lead “Golden Bachelor.”
- Jesse Palmer — Host.
- Peg Munson — Final 2; widely rumored pick; 62.
- Cindy (Angelcyk) Cullers — Final 2.
- Debbie Siebers — Reunion “hot seat”; memorable Women Tell All moment.
- Nicolle Kate — Reunion focus; addressed influencer comments and the lemon-bar flap.
- Antigua — Teased locale in the run-up to the finale.
- ABC / Hulu — Where to watch live and next-day.
Why the ‘Women Tell All’ mattered
The reunion reframed late-season narratives rather than introducing new shocks. Nicolle’s justification of her approach invited pushback and gave Debbie a clear runway to articulate the season’s counter-argument about sincerity and respect. For Mel, the roast segments doubled as a palate cleanser before the stakes of Fantasy Suites and proposal talk. In effect, the episode reset the tone: clear the air now, then get serious next week.
How the two-week finale structure shapes the finish
A split finale gives the show room for oxygen. Part 1 (November 5) isolates the overnight dates with Peg and Cindy and lets viewers sit with that intimacy for a week. Part 2 (November 12) uses the live format to deliver the final rose, address lingering questions immediately, and—if an engagement is in play—anchor it with family and audience reaction in real time. The pacing also invites another week of speculation around Peg vs. Cindy.
What each finalist needs to “win”
Peg Munson: The edit emphasizes steadiness and a sense that Peg knows who Mel is at this stage of life. If spoilers are accurate, the case is that Peg aligns with Mel’s day-to-day, not just the show’s fantasy of it.
Cindy (Angelcyk) Cullers: Cindy’s arc underscores compatibility and shared curiosity. If she’s not the final pick, the final episodes still allow her to define the relationship on her terms and exit with clarity.
What to watch for on November 5 and November 12
- Whether Fantasy Suites showcase new information that addresses each finalist’s “what about…?” questions.
- How the live finale brings families and past castmates into the moment once the final rose is handed out.
- Whether an engagement is confirmed on air—and how immediately the couple plans next steps.
Bottom line: The Golden Bachelor Season 2 closes on November 12, 2025, after the Fantasy Suites episode on November 5. The “Women Tell All” cleared the runway, Debbie’s “You did not empower us. You dismissed us.” line set the tone, and the spoiler drumbeat ties Mel Owens to Peg Munson. However it lands, this finale is built to keep you guessing—right up until that final rose.
