61-year-old Joan Vassos takes the helm in "The Golden Bachelorette," with 24 men.

The debut of "The Golden Bachelorette" is set to prove that love has no age limit. 61-year-old Joan Vassos, a beloved contestant from the first season of "The Golden Bachelor," returns to the spotlight, this time with 24 eligible gentlemen competing for her heart.

Among the contestants is 69-year-old Kim, a retired Navy Captain from Seattle, who dreams of romantic sailboat rides with Joan. A devoted father and grandfather, Kim values integrity and enjoys cooking and spending time in his backyard. He's also an accomplished whistler with a fondness for old-fashioned cocktails and aspirations to learn piano.

The PNW has another representative in the show with 68-year-old Bill, a retired videographer from Portland, Oregon.

The contestants, ranging in age from 57 to 69, will gather at the iconic Bachelor Mansion in California to embark on their quest for love.
