The Golden Bachelorette - Joan Vassos - Episodes - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Despite Joan having such a great cast of men ... This wasn't a very good season IMO. She fell for the guy that she had an early date with .... and who said all the right words to win. Hopefully the next golden Bach will be divorced and we won't have to listen to the non stop talk about their deceased spouse! I'm a widow myself and get what they are feeling .. but if you're in that much conflict about moving on ...don't do the show!! I couldn't help but wish Joan's friend and former contestant that she talked with on the ship would have been a much better lead. Would like to see either Pascal or Mark as next Bach .. love Charles but please ...I couldn't watch a season of him.

Her friend is Nancy and I agree that she would have made a better lead, @northernviewer. I think she got the guy she wanted and maybe she's okay with Chock as he is but I thought he came across as a little too possessive.

I finished the show just now and I missed seeing both guys meeting the family. It's nice that she spared Guy but it also meant that we just saw her do things with Chock. I loved her dress at the FRC but overall I found the episode boring. I guess we should be careful what we wish for because Grant's season looks like it will be very drama and crying filled. Good thing he's a looker.

@albean99 I'd love to know if they filmed a MTF with Guy but cut it. Very odd to have Chock have a MTF and LCD before Guy is already shown. I also thought it was odd that there was only a late day/evening portion of the LCD and not a full on date plus private time. It was all off. I think tons of footage was cut to fit the short show and the lack of excitement with Guy,

@northernviewer I am sorry to hear you have suffered great loss in your life but your perspective is certainly interesting on Joan.

As for the next Golden Bachelor, Mark now has a famous girlfriend from One Tree Hill so he's out (at least for now). And Pascal threw the franchise under the bus in a Glamour article so Ben and Ashley (and I agree) think there's no way TPTB would give him the job.

As much as I wanted Mark to be the next GB I'm happy to hear he is dating someone. I'm thinking it will be Guy.

I agree the episode was a little boring since it was all about Chock/Joan. Would have liked to see Joan go on 1 last date w/ Guy.
