The Golden Bachelor Season 2 premiere introduced Mel Owens and Bachelor Nation to 23 gorgeous, smart, capable Golden Gals, but only one knows how to disarm a bomb: Peg Munson.

Ever since Peg, a 62-year-old retired firefighter, fire investigator, and bomb tech, rolled up on scene, hopped out of the limo, and tried to disarm a fake bomb on the driveway of the Bachelor Mansion, Mel was blown away. She kept her first impression going strong by telling the Season 2 lead, “No fake hips here,” as a nod to his controversial podcast comments. And though she didn’t get Mel’s first impression rose on Night 1, her name was called first at the very first rose ceremony! A solid sign!

From the looks of Mel and Peg’s one-on-one chats together, and the fact that she appears to get a one-on-one date invite in Episode 4, it’s clear that Mel has his sights set on Peg, so it’s time we learn more about the spirited Season 2 contestant.

Who is Peg Munson on The Golden Bachelor? Here’s everything we know about Peg, including her official Golden Bachelor bio, Instagram, and more.

Who Is Peg Munson On The Golden Bachelor Season 2?

Per Peg’s official Golden Bachelor bio, the 62-year-old from Las Vegas, Nevada, has “been through fire, literally.”

“This retired firefighter and bomb tech rose from the flames stronger, sassier, and ready to find a spark that lasts,” the bio continues. “She’s a proud single mom, having raised her daughter, Dakota, with grit and grace. Peg is a woman of many talents, and while she isn’t afraid to get down and dirty, she’s also a lifelong dancer with a professional dance career as another feather in her cap. She used to perform with the High Rollers, the official senior dance team of the Aces basketball team. When it comes to dating, Peg doesn’t want to be anyone’s ‘nurse or purse.’ She’s looking for the real deal — no dating apps, no drama, just real connection. Let’s see if Peg can light Mel’s fire.”

Like Mel, Peg is divorced, so on top of their shared zest for life and desire to find late-in-life love, we’ll likely see them bonding over their marriages and what their divorces taught them. That said, since it looks like their one-on-one date will be at a carnival, they’re sure to have lots of fun, too!

So now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: Peg’s fun facts:

  • Peg’s favorite form of transportation is her unicycle.
  • Peg is so happy bell-bottoms are making a comeback.
  • Peg would love to play in the mud with baby elephants.

Want to learn more about Peg outside of The Golden Bachelor? You can follow her on Instagram at @peg__munson, where she had 941 followers ahead of Episode 4. From the looks of her bio, it seems Peg is also a realtor who’s into interior design and remodels. She really is the bomb!

Since Bachelor Nation’s go-to spoiler Reality Steve doesn’t have many insights on The Golden Bachelor Season 2, we’ll have to tune in to new episodes to find out how far Peg will go on Season 2. But considering she survived the first three rose ceremonies and got a one-on-one date, it’s clear she’s a Mel favorite!

New Golden Bachelor Season 2 episodes premiere Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
