As The Golden Bachelor season 2 nears its finale, set to air on November 5, 2025, spoilers from Reality Steve have already revealed that Mel gave his final rose to Peg Munson, a 62-year-old from Las Vegas.

Peg Munson is a confident, vibrant woman with a heart of gold. She served 22 years with Las Vegas Fire & Rescue and now works as a realtor specializing in interior design and home remodels.

Peg’s adventurous side doesn’t end there — she enjoys riding a unicycle and embraces life with enthusiasm. Like Mel, she has experienced divorce, and their shared pasts might have been what drew them together.

A Playful Start That Led To Love

Peg’s entrance on The Golden Bachelor was unforgettable. She playfully brought a fake bomb prop, referencing her firefighting career, and joked about Mel’s earlier controversial podcast comments about “artificial hips and wigs.” Her witty introduction — “Hey, Mel, no fake hips here!” — set the tone for their chemistry-filled journey.

Their first one-on-one date at the Orange County Fair revealed their natural connection and easy laughter. They bonded over shared life experiences, and during her hometown date in Las Vegas, Mel met Peg’s daughter, Dakota, and some of her firefighter colleagues. Mel described Peg as a “live wire”, admiring her strength and spirit.
