Joan Vassos got the shock of a lifetime when Gerry Turner showed up in episode 3 of The Golden Bachelorette. Fans were freaking out when the Golden Bachelor made an appearance in the Wednesday, October 2, broadcast to chat with the show’s leading lady.
It was quite the emotional episode, as Joan broke down in tears while speaking with the guys about her late husband and her hopes for finding love.
Who Went on the 1st 1-on-1 Date?
Joan chose Pascal to go on the first one-on-one date during episode 3. They went in a private jet to Las Vegas. They tried on some fancy outfits in a gorgeous hotel room. Wayne Newton showed up to perform “Danke Schoen.” Joan and Pascal danced together to the music.
Later on at dinner, Pascal opened up about his difficult childhood. “Hearing his story made me feel even more hopeful,” Joan said.
“I really like Joan,” he said in a confessional. “She’s an incredible lady and we had a really fun date.”
Pascal ended up getting the rose at the end of the date, sharing a kiss with Joan.
The Guys Showed Off Their Athleticism on the Date
The group date featured the first ever Golden Bachelorette kickball game. Eric Dickerson and Andre Reed came in to teach the guys how to hone in on their kickball skills. They split into two teams to play a game of kickball in front of a crowd. “These guys are putting so much effort into it,” Joan said while watching the game.
However, during the game, many of the guys got hurt. “It’s amazing what we’ll do for a pretty lady,” Chock said.
Charles L. won everyone’s hearts over when he kicked his first ball and brought home a runner to score. The crowd went nuts when the blue team ended up winning the game and they got to go to a cocktail party with Joan.
Jordan and Joan had a really sweet chat and shared a kiss. Charles and Joan also had a very nice talk. Charles told Joan about a chat he had with Guy, who is a doctor, about his wife’s death. Joan was completely understanding and Charles praised her for being a good listener.
Joan said that as the date went on, she had some “concerns from home.”
Jonathan Went on a 1-on-1 Date With Joan Vassos
Jonathan was chosen for the second one-on-one date of the episode. The duo went horseback riding. Jonathan opened up to Joan about his divorce. But he admitted he packed his bags before the date and “started to cry.” He said that unzipping the suitcase reminded him of the end of his marriage and having to get out. He was thinking that he “wasn’t enough” for Joan. But she assured him that he is “so much.”
“Just being here show’s that you’re good enough … this is scary,” she told him. Joan praised Jonathan’s “calming” presence. She gave him the rose at the end of the date.
But then Joan had a very emotional feeling when she saw hawks fly across the sky. She believed it was a sign from her late husband. She also began thinking about her mom who was sick at home. “I can’t keep going on like this,” she said in a confessional.
