What happened in the finale episode of The Golden Bachelor?
In the finale of The Golden Bachelor, Bear heads to Cape Town to introduce his final two — Janette and Sunny — to his sons Charlie and Jack, and his very intense brother Tim.
Both women get grilled: Janette is questioned for being slow to say “love”, while Sunny raises eyebrows for having only been single six months and calling Bear “strong”.
The family is split — the sons adore Janette’s warmth but think Sunny might be a rebound, while Tim is convinced Janette isn’t committed enough.
Bear spends his final dates trying to untangle his feelings. Janette finally admits she’s falling for him during a safari cheeseboard moment, while Sunny battles her fear of penguins before telling Bear she’s fully in love.
At the final rose ceremony, Janette arrives first — the kiss of death in Bachie world. Bear ends things, prompting Janette to give him an ice-cold, iconic send-off (“Stop saying you’re sorry”). Heartbroken but dignified, she leaves hoping her “time will come”.
Sunny arrives next, and Bear confesses he’s fallen in love again and can’t imagine a future without her. She accepts a commitment ring (not an engagement ring, calm down everyone), and the two leave together, blissfully in love.
