Who will win Bear’s heart? Janette or Sunny? (Nine)
Janette, 61, a down-to-earth pilates instructor from Melbourne caught Bear’s attention from the start. They share a deep connection but could Janette’s reluctance to open up get in the way?
On the other hand, Sunny, 58, a vivacious CEO from Sydney has already professed her love to Bear but he worries that having only been single for six months she might not be ready to commit.
Keep reading for everyone’s predictions on who Bear will end up with, from fans, our writers and even some of Bear’s exes.
The eliminated Bachelorettes
Not long ago, these women were vying for Bear’s heart also, and having lived in the mansion they likely have the most insider knowledge on Janette and Sunny’s connections with Bear.

Here’s who the most recently eliminated Bachelorettes and Bear’s exes Kim and Jan predicted he would choose in the finale:
Kim told 9Entertainment: “Janette is genuinely the loveliest girl, really, there’s nothing manipulative about her. There’s nothing negative about her. She’s just literally what you see, what you get. She’s beautiful and I would put money on Janette.”
Jan felt the same saying her “money is 100 percent on Janette”.
”I’m really close with Janette. We did the camper van activity together. She was particularly fond of Bear.
“When we’d chat, I’d say ‘I can see the connection with you, but I don’t have that connection’ and you know, good on you and good luck to you.'”
Jan shared with 9Entertainment that when she left the mansion she warned Bear particularly to “be kind” to Janette.

We’ve watched The Golden Bachelor just as intently as the rest of Australia and while it could go either way some of our team members have some theories.
“I think the fact that Sunny is the only woman to have received a gift from Bear, remember that gorgeous pearl necklace, speaks volumes!” 9Entertainment editor Lauren said.
“I’m backing Sunny. She brings such a playful side out of Bear.”

But our producer Rosie didn’t see things the same way.
“Are you forgetting Janette is the only woman to get two single dates? That’s got to mean something!” she said.
A third writer added: “To be honest, I did not see Sunny being in the finals at the start, but now that she’s here, it could go either way!”
Video producer Oz had his say: “I feel like Janette isn’t sure about the “L word” and has her insecurities about committing, whereas Sunny’s vibrant personality seems perfect for Bear’s calmness.”
Viewers take to social media
The Golden Bachelor fandom has taken to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X to share their finale predictions.
“Janette’s the one – I can see the spark,” one Instagram user wrote.

While another hoped “Janette and Bear get their happy ending”.
