The season finale The golden bachelorette is on the horizon and there are signs that Joan Vassos won’t find true love this season. It certainly wasn’t for lack of trying. Joan, 61, must really believe in the process, because it wasn’t the first time she tried to find love on national television. She made her television debut during The Golden Bachelor season 1, as one of 22 singles Golden women who traveled to Bachelor mansion dates Gerry Turner, 72 years old.
Joan had to leave Gerry’s season early due to a family emergency, but she made a big impression and was cast as The golden bachelorette. After an exciting season of dating and drama, Joan has narrowed down her 24 single Golden men until the last two; Chock Chapple, aged 60, and Guy Gansert, aged 66. Every man comes with his pros and cons but there’s a good chance that neither of them will end up being Mr. Right for Joana. Read on to learn more about both men and the mistakes Joan made along the way.
Chock is very possessive
He thinks Joan already belongs to him
Joan liked Chock from the moment they met at night one of the ABC’s The golden bachelorette season 1, and the insurance executive from Wichita, Kansas even hosted her first solo date. The romantic date at Disneyland must have gone to your head. During a later episode, Joan took several men, including Chock, out on a group date at a bowling alley. Although the other men seemed to have a lot of fun, Chock clearly didn’t enjoy sharing Joan.
Wear clearly wasn’t used to having to share Joan in a group setting. He spent the entire meeting sitting very close to Joan, with one arm around her, acting as if she were already his wife. The other men were irritated by his possessive behavior, but Chock didn’t seem to notice or care. While the other men The golden bachelorette The first season got along well throughout the season, Chock always seemed like the lone wolf or the outsider. Chock seems almost obsessed with Joan, which isn’t the best sign.
Guy might have anger issues
Disturbing allegations
Joan’s other finalist, Guy, was an emergency room doctor from Reno, Nevada, and seemed like a great catch. Unfortunately, things are not always as they seem. It was recently reported by People that Guy’s ex-wife, Heidi O’Gara, filed for a temporary protective order against Guy in October 2021. She had the order dismissed a month later, before the restraining order was officially grantedbut some of his accusations are quite disturbing.
Heidi accused her ex-husband, Guy, of becoming angry, lashing out and making threats.
She went so far as to claim that he “He made a sign as if he was going to shoot me with his pistol-shaped hand..” Heidi backed out of the proposal a month later, but the fact that Guy had such a contentious relationship is a huge red flag. If Joan gives you her last rose at the end of The golden bachelorette In the first season, she will have to address these accusations, which were not revealed publicly until recently.
Joan sent Mark home
The one who got away?
Joan sent 58-year-old Mark Anderson home early The golden bachelorette hometown dates from season 1, in a scene posted to YouTube by Bachelor Nation. This came as a shock because Mark was a fan favorite and was expected to be more competitive. The retired Army veteran made his television debut when his daughter, Kelsey Anderson, brought Joey Graziadei home for dates in his hometown of The Bachelor season 28. Audiences fell in love with the widower and a star was born. Mark was cast on Joan’s season, but he had a hard time being himself around herso they never really connected.
Mark hadn’t dated much since his late wife, Denise Anderson, died in 2018, so he was out of practice.
It’s a shame Joan didn’t give Mark more time before eliminating him from the The golden bachelorette season 1. Maybe if he had been given one of the season’s hometown dates, he would have had an easier time breaking down his walls. Joana missed a real opportunity by sending Mark homebecause he seemed like a nice guy. Although they didn’t have as much chemistry as she did with the two remaining men, Mark may end up being the best choice for Joan.
