However Chock and Heather’s marriage ended in divorceaccording to Chock, the two enjoy a great co-parenting relationship.

Chock Might Be Playing Joan So He Can Be The Golden Bachelor
He could be playing a long game
A known fact about Bachelor franchise is that the franchise shows often cast their protagonists from the residue of other shows. Joan is a great example of this casting tradition, as she participated in the The Golden Bachelor before being cast The golden bachelorette season 1. There is often speculation about various contestants just being on the show because they would like to be chosen to be the show’s lead.
This is especially frustrating because it takes away a spot from a competitor who would be there for the right reason.
If Chock isn’t able to commit to Joan, there could be a chance that he’s just trying to be next The Golden Bachelor. If he really was a womanizer, he wouldn’t be content to just settle for Joan. He would love the opportunity to court dozens of women at once. At this point, Chock seems to be almost obsessed with Joanbut sometimes it feels like he’s trying too hard. If Joan ends up giving him her last rose, only time will tell if he was there for the right reason.
Is Chock really Joan’s best match?
She could have sent the right man home
With The golden bachelorette Season 1 finale on the horizon, Joan narrowed the field to Chock and 66-year-old Guy Gansert, an emergency room doctor from Reno, Nevada. She sent home several men who might have been better options for her, such as 58-year-old Mark Anderson and 66-year-old Charles Ling. If Joan decides to ride off into the sunset with Chock, time may reveal that he is a womanizer. Hopefully, Chock will prove his critics wrong and end up being exactly the man Joan was looking for.
