However THE Bachelor franchise likes to cast protagonists from previous seasons, several contestants from The golden bachelorette should never be The Golden Bachelor. The inaugural season of The spin-off was launched as the first dating show centered on the love lives of seniors. Gerry Turner, 72, Retired Indiana Restaurant Owner, Dated 22 Golden Singles–elderly women and gave his final rose to 70-year-old day trader Theresa Nist.
They got married in a TV wedding but announced their divorce after just three months of marriage. The disappointing failure hangs like a dark cloud over the franchise, and the series’ second season protagonist will be under enormous pressure to right the ship. Although ABC ran ads asking women to sign up to participate The Golden Bachelor season 2, they haven’t announced the name of their new one yet Golden lead.
There was some expectation that they would during the recent end of The golden bachelorette 1st season, which recently broke up with Joan Vassos, 61, getting engaged to Chock Chapple, 60. During her season, Joan dated 24 singles men, sending them all home one by one until she handed over her last rose. Many of the men Joan dated were very impressive and there were many excellent options for her next Golden lead among them. Although there are several great men to choose from, there are eight men who should never be chosen as The Golden Bachelor.

Chapple shim
Joana’s winner
Joan and Chock hit it off from the moment they met on the opening night of The golden bachelorette season 1, and they had their ups and downs on the journey to the final rose. Shock was the obvious favorite from the moment she gave him his first one-on-one date. After an emotional season of passion, Joan gave her final rose to Chock. Although she had said that she didn’t want to rush into marriage, when Chock got down on one knee and proposed, she eagerly accepted.
Even though Joan and Chock are engaged now, there’s always a chance things won’t work out. If Chock ends up single again, he should not be considered for a future leading man role. It wouldn’t be Chock’s first failed relationship. He was married to Heather Chapple for 12 years before their divorce; Chock was also engaged to Katherine Elizabeth Goree for nine years before she passed away in 2022. divorce and long engagement were warning signs that Joan ignoredBut the show’s producers shouldn’t ignore these same red flags when casting The Golden Bachelor.

Like Joan, 66-year-old Charles was also a widower. The father of two lost his beloved wife to a brain aneurysm six years ago after 36 years of marriage. Charles is still in deep mourning for his wife, and although he is one of most captivating things about himthat should stop you from being The Golden Bachelor. The retired financial analyst from Philadelphia was encouraged to join the cast of The golden bachelorette Season 1 by his daughters.
Charles’ adult daughters worried about their lonely father and wanted him to try to find love again.
During The golden bachelorette In season one, Charles struggled to process his wife’s death. He was with her when the aneurysm happened, so it’s understandable that he’s still traumatized, as well as grieving.

Kim Buike
“We are the men of the mansion”
The golden bachelorette the first season included Kim Buike, a Retired Navy Captain, 69, from SeattleWashington. Kim didn’t get far with Joan, and it wasn’t for lack of trying. At one point, Kim even wrote an original song for Joan that he wanted all the men to sing to her. When Kim stood up in front of the men and sang her song, none of them were interested in participating. The men found the song’s lyrics cringe-worthy and no one wanted any part of it.
” We are the men of the mansion. The men of the Golden Bachelor mansion. We are here to win Joan’s heart.”
The other men were not interested in joining in Kim’s singing to Joan, which seemed to hurt him deeply. Ultimately, another contestant, Guy Gansert, took pity on Kim and was kind enough to sing the awkward song with him while the other men avoided the scene. The whole thing was strange, and Joan must have thought the same thing too because she sent Kim home at the next rose ceremony. Although Kim seemed like a nice enough man, he is too strange to be The Golden Bachelor.

Jack Lencioni
The party animal
Before appearing in The golden bachelorette In the first season, Jack Lencioni was a 68-year-old caterer living in Chicago, Illinois. The gregarious Jack stood out as a rather eccentric character from the moment he set foot THE Bachelor mansion. He took advantage of the chef’s kitchen in The Bachelor mansion to prepare an elaborate dinner for Joan, which she seemed to enjoy. THE other competitors in The golden bachelorette I loved Jackwhich was always good for a laugh.
There was no chemistry between Joan and Jack, but she liked him enough to keep him around for a while.
Jack ended up being eliminated from the The golden bachelorettebut not before making the most of the Bachelor mansion. Although Jack was always fun, he was more interested in having fun and playing with other men than connecting with Joana. Although he was entertainment Bachelor lead, he would be more interested in shooting cannonballs into the pool than finding true love.

Marcos Anderson
The possible producing plant
Mark Anderson, 58, retired Army veteran and widowed father of five, made his television debut in The Bachelor season 28 during Joey Graziadei’s hometown visit with Mark’s daughter, Kelsey Anderson. When Mark gave the young couple a photo album full of photos of him and his late wife, fans instantly fell in love with the tall widower and a star was born.
Although Mark only appeared on camera for a brief period, he left a lasting impression.
When Mark was announced as a contestant on The golden bachelorette season 1, he was so excited to meet Joan. Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed when Joan sent him home before her hometown visit.. Online speculation ran rampant that Mark was only cast on the show to be the next Golden Bachelor. If the show’s producers chose him as the next Golden lead, this would prove the speculation correct.

Gil Ramirez
Your ex filed a restraining order
Gil RamÃrez, a 60 year old educator From Mission Viejo, California, it wasn’t very far The golden bachelorette season 1, as Joan sent him home quite early. Before being eliminated, People reported that Gil’s ex-girlfriend filed a restraining order against him three months before he appeared on the show. In order, she accused him of stalking hermaking unwanted contact with her and her family and showing up in places unannounced to confront her.
The restraining order was eventually lifted, but the damage was done, especially because Gil wasn’t honest about it.
Since Bachelor producers didn’t know about the restraining order, Gil must have passed a background check before the restraining order was filed. In other words, the incident occurred in the window between the background check and the start of production. Still, a lot can happen in a few months, so it’s hard to imagine that producers didn’t double-check near the start of the season. The golden bachelorette production. ABC responded to the report by editing Gil’s already limited screen time. For obvious reasons, Gil should never appear in another Bachelor National show, and certainly not as a protagonist.

Guy Gansert
Disturbing allegations
Guy Gansert, 66, got along well with Joan from the moment they met during The Golden Bachelor season 1, and he made it to the bottom two men, along with Chock. Although things seem to be going great between Joan and Guy, People reported Guy’s ex-wife, Heidi O’Gara, filed for temporary protective order in October 2021. They were getting divorced at the time and things got heated.
Although the restraining order was never officially granted, his ex-wife’s accusations are disturbing.
Heidi accused her ex-husband of having anger issues and making threats, and even claimed that he “He made a sign as if he was going to shoot me with his pistol-shaped hand..” She had the order dismissed a month later before it is officially granted by a judge, but it is still a potential red flag. If Guy was in such a contentious relationship with his ex-wife, he shouldn’t have been cast as The Golden Bachelor.

Pascal Ibgui
Joan was blinded
Pascal Igbui, 69, made it to Joan’s final three and was deeply attracted to the charming French salon owner. During The golden bachelorette In the season 1 hometown episode, Joan visited Pascal’s hometown of Chicago, Illinois, where she spent a day at his luxurious salon, after which she met his close-knit family and friends. As they headed out for date night, Joan and Pascal were excited about the possibilities.
Joan and Pascal’s date night started off well, but things started to go downhill during a bonding ceremony.
The symbolic ceremony scared Pascal because it made him question whether he was ready to commit to Joan. The exercise of the meeting made him realize that he had no romantic feelings for Joan. In a clip posted to YouTube by Bachelor Nation, he told her he only saw her as a friend. This came as a surprise to Joan because Pascal wasn’t acting like her friend when he kissed her a few minutes earlier. Pascal eliminated himself from The golden maiden, and he doesn’t deserve to be The Golden Bachelor.
