Joan Vassos & Jenn Tran Crowned as 2024’s Most Powerful Women on Reality TV

Congratulations! 

Joan Vassos and Jenn Tran both made Bachelor Nation history this past year, as Joan was our very first Golden Bachelorette and Jenn was the first-ever Asian American Bachelorette. 

Bachelor Nation watched these women’s stories unfold during their seasons, revealing both a hopeful, happy ending and heartbreak.   

Since their time on the shows, both Joan and Jenn have gone off to experience some amazing opportunities, like looking for housing properties in NYC and competing on “Dancing with the Stars.”

Now, after an influential year, these two iconic Bachelorettes have been crowned as some of reality TV’s most powerful women. 

Variety just published their “30 Most Powerful Women on Reality TV in 2024” list and our two history-making Bachelorettes are a part of it!

Joan and Jenn are both noted in their descriptions for their resilience and winning over viewers’ hearts during their time on their Bachelor Nation shows. 

And we couldn’t agree more!

Alongside them are other reality TV powerhouses such as the director of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders Kelli Finglass, Julia Fox, Alison Hammond from “Great British Baking Show,” Ariana Madix, Rita Ora, and Taylor Frankie Paul from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”

Other names on the list include Shannon Storms Beador from “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” Allison Holker from “So You Think You Can Dance,” Phaedra Parks, who competed alongside Jenn on “DWTS,” Captain Sandy Yawn from “Below Deck Mediterranean,” and Chrishell Stause from “Selling Sunset.”
