The Golden Bachelorette: I'm Convinced Joan Vassos Will Regret Her Decision On The Finale (She Made The Wrong Choice)

The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos may have chosen who she thought was the right guy during her season finale, but I think she’ll regret the decision to give Chock Chapple her final rose. While Joan, who originally appeared as a part of Gerry Turner’s season of The Golden Bachelor, was a formidable lead, there were issues with the men of her cast throughout the season. Joan was chosen as the lead of The Golden Bachelorette season 1 after a long, heated debate from Bachelor Nation. While there were other women on Gerry’s season suggested, Joan was the best fit.

Joan’s time as The Golden Bachelorette started long before she appeared on the series. Having first appeared on The Golden Bachelor season 1 for a short while, Joan left the series early and viewers needed to have an understanding as to why before following her on her journey to find love. As Joan had her reasons for becoming The Golden Bachelorette, she needed to share with Bachelor Nation what she wanted, hoped for, and would be okay with as the lead of her season. Explaining that she was looking for another love of a lifetime, Joan was met with excitement.

Joan’s time as The Golden Bachelorette had some difficulties from the start, as by the time the show hit airwaves, viewers had discovered some of the guys in her cast were problematic. The Golden Bachelorette season 1 cast’s Gil Ramirez had a restraining order out against him, and it turned out Joan’s finalist Guy Gansert had in the past, as well. While the other guys' personas were crumbling, Joan was falling for Chock, who had some different types of red flags. Isolated from the rest of the cast, Chock left some feeling uneasy. I’m convinced Joan will regret choosing Chock.

Joan May Have Picked The Wrong Man

She Should Have Chosen To Be Alone

Although Joan’s journey led her to find Chock and accept his proposal during The Golden Bachelorette season 1 finale, many members of Bachelor Nation were hopeful that she wouldn’t choose anybody by the end of the season. Joan, who spent her season getting to know the cast of the series and doing her best to narrow down her choices without hurting anyone’s feelings, came down to Chock and Guy for her final two after Pascal Ibgui left during the week of the fantasy suite dates. With just two choices left, Bachelor Nation felt sour about the men Joan had left.

While Joan had connected with both the men on The Golden Bachelorette, there were parts of their personalities viewers were seeing that she wasn’t aware of. Though they weren’t all necessarily bad, Bachelor Nation was struggling to see Joan with either Chock or Guy long-term. While Guy had a restraining order that Bachelor Nation wasn’t happy about, his indiscretions were straightforward. Throughout the season, Chock had been a more difficult presence around the rest of the guys, isolating himself and focusing on Joan in a way that Bachelor Nation found off-putting. Many were hopeful she’d choose to wind up alone.

Joan Should Have Picked Another Golden Bachelorette Cast Member

Mark, Pascal, Or Jordan Would’ve Suited Her Better

Although Joan’s time on The Golden Bachelor prepared her for The Golden Bachelorette, her taste in guys throughout her journey left viewers confused about her final choice. The men that Joan chose to bring on one-on-one dates and get to know in more in-depth ways, like Pascal, Mark Anderson, and Jordan Heller, were far different than the guys who wound up in her final two. Despite knowing that Joan has some eclectic taste, it appeared throughout the season that some guys would suit her better than others. Joan’s final two didn’t seem to be entirely indicative of her standard type.

While Pascal chose to leave The Golden Bachelorette, it was strange to see Joan’s relationships with Mark and Jordan play out in the way they did. Though some were curious about Mark potentially being a producer plant, others were certain that he and Joan would have an incredible connection throughout their time on the show together. Mark ultimately left The Golden Bachelorette before hometowns, but Jordan was on the show through the penultimate week. Though it appeared like Joan and Jordan’s relationship was strong, she ultimately chose to let him go as well, confusing Bachelor Nation with her different choices.

Joan May Not Be Happy After The Show

Her Relationship May Deteriorate Quickly

Although Joan and Chock are happy in their engagement at the current moment, the pair seem to be riding a high that won’t stick around forever. With Chock’s red flags and Joan’s ever-changing taste, the pair may be destined to struggle as they move forward in their relationship. Throughout The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan and Chock had some odd moments of connection, but their relationship could deteriorate quickly in the public eye. While Bachelor Nation hopes Joan winds up happy, The Golden Bachelorette may have made the wrong choice to lead her to that happiness.
