Shannon Beador from RHOC Seeks Role as the Golden Bachelorette

Shannon Beador, a familiar face from The Real Housewives of Orange County, recently entertained the thought of stepping into the spotlight as the first Golden Bachelorette. During a conversation on The Viall Files podcast, the 60-year-old reality star revealed that she had pitched the idea to producers connected to the popular Bachelor franchise. Although she understood that the show would likely feature someone from its past, Beador decided to express her interest. Ultimately, Joan Vassos was selected as the inaugural Golden Bachelorette, but the notion of Beador taking on the role captured the attention of Bravo’s Andy Cohen.

In a twist of fate, Beador’s aspirations led to a new opportunity when Cohen approached her with a proposal to join a different project: The Love Hotel. This spinoff from the Real Housewives series is designed for singles on the lookout for lasting relationships. Filmed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the show, which features Beador alongside other single Housewives like Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, and Luann de Lesseps, is already generating buzz.

Beador humorously noted that, in a sense, she plays the role of a “golden bachelorette” on The Love Hotel, as she is the oldest participant. Despite her involvement in the show, Beador is currently in no rush to seek romance following her recent breakup with John Janssen. She did mention, however, that her experiences on the show have been insightful, hinting at connections made along the way.

Reflecting on her journey, Beador discussed her past relationship with Janssen, stating that while her feelings toward their breakup are complex, she remains focused on enjoying life and having fun. With her daughters residing in New York City, Beador is relishing the opportunity to film confessionals in the city, claiming this new chapter is filled with excitement and countless new friendships.

As fans anticipate The Love Hotel’s premiere and what it may hold, Shannon Beador seems content to embrace life as it comes, ready for whatever surprises may be ahead.
