"During Mel and Cindy's final dinner date, Mel tried to assure Cindy of his feelings for her. "My heart tells me that I like you a lot, and I wouldn't be here with you if it wasn't," he said. Cindy believed him, and thought they were a good match - but as she told the camera, "time is a-ticking." When she asked if Mel would even be ready to propose by the end of the week, he said no."
""I cannot believe what I'm listening to," she said in a confessional. "I gave him every opportunity to say, 'Just be patient with me, I'm falling for you,' but he still couldn't even go there." She decided to take herself out of the equation altogether. "I kind of want my guy to feel like he got struck by lightning, and can't live without me," she told Mel. "I think you're great, but I'm not sure I just want to free-fall for that long.""
Mel Owens entered the Golden Bachelor finale torn between Peg Munson and Cindy Cullers. During a final dinner date, Mel said he liked Cindy but was not ready to propose and could imagine marriage only in a couple years. Cindy found his timeline unacceptable and insisted she did not want to 'free-fall' into a long uncertain wait. She expressed a desire for a partner who felt struck by lightning and could not live without her. Cindy apologized, asked to leave, and then self-eliminated in Antigua. Mel declined an option to bring her back.
