It’s understandable that Mark, 58, is still shocked by the surprise elimination. Hopes were high about the retired Army veteran’s chances with 61-year-old Joan. He made his television debut during The Bachelor 28, because her daughter, Kelsey Anderson, took Joey Graziadei on a date in her hometown. His brief time on screen left a big impression on Bachelor fans, and a star was born.
Joan seemed genuinely excited when Mark got out of the limo on the opening night of The golden bachelorette season 1. He was among the 24 singles Golden men who would be competing for the flowers in Joan’s rose boutonniere. Fans expected Mark to easily swoop in and steal Joan’s heart, but instead, Joan told Mark he was “missing something” and sent him home early. Since then, Mark has been spotted with a TV actress, and some speculate that he is trying to make Joan jealous.
