The hit spinoff reality series, The Golden Bachelorette, has been an emotional rollercoaster, capturing viewers’ hearts nationwide. One of the most talked-about episodes recently showcased the journey of Joan Vassos, a 61-year-old woman on a quest to find true love. However, things took a dramatic turn as she faced an emotional dilemma after eliminating 20 potential suitors, leaving her to make some of the toughest decisions of her life.
Her counterpart, The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner, had wrapped up his series with a televised wedding in just a month. However, Vassos seems to be stuck in a huge dilemma after one of her favorite suitors is bashed online.
Joan Vassos struggles with confidence in her remaining choices
With The Golden Bachelorette’s Joan Vassos being on her 8th episode on the show, fans are wondering how much longer it will be for her to make her decision. In The Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turned captured attention for only 9 episodes and managed to find his former partner, Theresa Nist. However, Vassos seems to be struggling with her upcoming decision.
Since the show began, the 61-year-old took an instant liking to Mark Anderson. Although the attraction might have been there, the chemistry was definitely lacking. Now, after the lead sent the 58-year-old packing, it seems she is questioning some of her decisions, according to reports from an EW preview.
I thought all the hometowns went really, really well, but the conversations were not what I expected. I thought I’d be more confident in these relationships by now.
Vassos may have hoped to have a better connection with the remaining 4 contestants, Chock Chapple, Guy Gansert, Jordan Heller, and Pascal Ibgui. However, it looks like the recent hometown episode has only sent her spinning further.
With the reality star sending home some of the Bachelor nation’s favorite contenders like Anderson and Charles Ling, she seems to be questioning her decision-making capabilities.
Although Vassos seems to be struggling with her upcoming decision, it wasn’t a cause of concern for her counterpart, Gerry Turner. After all, his hometown dates went rather differently.
The difference between Joan Vassos and Gerry Turner
When The Golden Bachelor made waves last year, Gerry Turner left quite a mark on viewers and even some of the contestants. Although the 72-year-old had the chance to meet Joan Vassos on his show, she ended up leaving to go home and take care of her daughter.
Their romance might have been cut short. However, it seems to have been for the best. After all, Turner wound up choosing Theresa Nist and got hitched on air. However, their relationship ended up failing just a few short months after the show ended.
The couple’s unfortunate end should not have come as a surprise. After all, Turner had been flirty with all three of the contestants he had gone on hometown dates with, Theresa Nist, Leslie Fhima, and Faith Martin. In fact, he had even told the 65-year-old fitness instructor that he was in love with her, just before sending her home.
Unlike Vassos, who seemed to be struggling with the decisions she made, Turner was more than content with his. Although the bachelor knew what he wanted, the bachelorette is confused about where she stands with her choices.
After all, Vassos sent home the fan-favorites who fans wanted to win her heart. The 61-year-old might be wrestling with her choices, but in just an episode, she will have to decide who gets her final rose.
