Joan Vassos’ Golden Bachelorette journey took a shocking turn with another contestant leaving the show at nearly the last minute. Pascal Ibgui’s actions divided fans, with some viewers calling him out for his behavior in the latest episode.
Golden Bachelorette Pascal Ibgui Dumps Joan
Joan Vassos joined The Golden Bachelor to find love again after her husband’s death. She chose to leave Gerry Turner’s season after just a few episodes to handle a family matter. Joan was given another chance as The Golden Bachelorette.
She narrowed her suitors down from twenty-four to just three. Joan and her final three men – Chock Chapple, Guy Gansert, and Pascal Ibgui – jetted for to Tahiti for the Fantasy Suite dates. Joan Vassos made it clear that her overnight dates would be different than usual in the franchise. She vowed not to be intimate with any of her final three suitors, even going so far as demanding beds be removed from the Fantasy Suites.
She never made it to the Fantasy Suite portion of the date with Pascal Ibgui. After talking to Jesse Palmer about his reservations, he dumped Joan Vassos and left the show. Pascal told her that he was almost engaged to another woman a year ago and still isn’t over his ex.
Fans Divided Over His Behavior
Pascal Ibgui has played it close to the vest this season. So, his confession shocked Joan and viewers. But some fans on the Golden Bachelorette Instagram thought he made the right decision and were glad to see him go.
- “Sadly I called it , He’s very handsome, fun , busy with his family and business, But not husband material, Wishing him the best”
- “Not sure why Pascal was chosen to have this type of date as none of the other men did. There was no fun in this and no really bonding time or fun time alone with each other. I thought it was incredibly awkward”
- “Glad to see Pascal leave , I really feel like there were a lot more opportunities other than him. But the date made him tell the truth which he should have done many episodes ago.”
However, Pascal was blasted on Twitter. One Golden Bachelorette fan wrote, “Like he’s what freakin seventy, and he can’t figure out if he’s not ready for a commitment ridiculous.”
Another viewer speculated that he had ulterior motives for joining the show. “Now that Hometowns are over and Pascal has promoted his salon, he’s ready to go,” they wrote.
Pascal’s shocking self-elimination sent Joan in a downward spiral. Fans already thought she ended up alone, and now they are sure of it. How do you think the Golden Bachelorette season ends?
