After The Golden Bachelorette, Joan Vassos stopped by Bravo for a very special appearance.
Joan stopped by the Watch What Happens Live studio to promote the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Purple Stride walk this weekend. She has been a vocal supporter of PanCan since her first husband, John, passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2021. Joan seemed thrilled to appear on WWHL as the guest bartender, happily posing for photos with host Andy Cohen and guests, The Valley stars Nia Sanchez Booko and Kristen Doute.
Joan shared photos to her Instagram, writing in the caption that she got to "pretend" she was a Real Housewife and that she even came up with her own tagline: "I never settle for silver, I always go for gold." She started off her Instagram caption by excitedly announcing that she made her "Bravo debut." Joan ended by thanking Andy and told her followers to "never stop going for gold."

Our Take On Joan Vassos’ WWHL Appearance As Guest Bartender
Joan Wants To Make A Difference

Joan's appearance on WWHL is notable for a few reasons. First of all, she is affiliated with ABC, since that is the network that airs The Golden Bachelorette. We don't see Bachelor Nation stars mingling with "Bravolebrities" very often, so it was cool to see Joan and the women from The Valley hanging out. To cross over to another network is admirable, since Joan's appearance is to raise money for charity.
