The first episode of The Golden Bachelor Australia dropped on Monday night, and fans are all ready to call the winner. Well — post about it, technically. Because if you scroll even half a second through X (formerly Twitter), you’ll see one name dominating the discourse: Jan.
Yep, 66‑year‑old Jan, the “age transformation coach” from NSW, clearly made an impression on our Golden Bachelor himself, Barry “Bear” Myrden, 61. The pair instantly clicked when she opened up about her past heartbreak.

Jan kept her limo entrance simple (no wild props or glitter explosions, bless her), arriving with a bottle of bubbles and a toast to “taking risks”. Naturally, the internet clocked it as a main character move that was giving winner arc. After some heartfelt chat about relationships and resilience, Bear told producers he “couldn’t take his eyes off her”. And just like that, viewers decided Jan’s name might as well already be engraved on that final rose.
“Jan has the winner’s edit,” one fan posted on X, while another declared it was “game over for the rest of them”. Others piped up, calling her a “sweetheart” and “absolutely amazing for 66”, turning her into the franchise’s unlikely fan favourite before the first rose ceremony even ended.
Jan revealed during a one‑on‑one chat that she never became a mum after her ex couldn’t have kids — a candid, vulnerable moment that set her apart.
“It took me a long time to realise that I wasn’t going to be that mother,” she said, adding that she’s since found peace with her life’s direction.
Bear appreciated her openness, telling the cameras that she’d “shared intimate details” and that he respected how genuine she was.
Basically, she’s giving emotional depth and the kind of edit that Bachelor Nation conspiracies thrive on. More airtime than anyone else? Check. Sincere chat mid‑episode instead of cocktail‑party chaos? Check. Zero villain energy? Check again.
Some other fans think the show could end in a “battle of the Jans”, with Janette proving to be a crowd favourite as well. The pilates studio owner from Victoria walked in with a poem in hand ready to find love and fans think that her dress colour could mean her making it to the final two.

Meanwhile, Angela, Jane and Sharna were the first to go home, but according to the internet, it’s basically the Jan Show featuring everyone else at this stage.
She’s got the edit, the emotional backstory, and the nation’s collective soft spot.
Unless the producers are about to throw the biggest curveball in Bachelor history, it’s safe to say our frontrunner might already have one hand on that final rose.
