The producers of the show asked him for his preferences when it comes to the women he wants to date. “I just said, ’45 to 60,’ just being honest,” Mel said on Michigan football podcast MGo Blue Podcasts with Jon Jansen.
“‘If they’re 60 or over, I’m cutting them,’” Mel told a producer of the show. He also added, “This is not The Silver Bachelor, this is The Golden Bachelor.”
THR reports that Mel added, “[The executive producer] goes, ‘But they’re going to be hot, don’t worry about it, don’t worry about it.’ He goes, ‘You can’t use the word cut,’ I go, ‘That’s an NFL term.’”
Mel also said, “They’ve got to be fit, because I stay in shape and workout and stuff. And I told them to try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs.”
