Joan Vassos, the first-ever Golden Bachelorette, has hinted that viewers can expect a surprising twist and an unusual ending in the season finale of The Golden Bachelorette. In a recent interview with TheWrap during the Men Tell All episode taping, Joan, 61, shared that the final family meetings were different from previous seasons, creating a unique dynamic.
A “Weird” Family Meeting and Emotional Finale
Joan described the family meeting portion of the finale as having a “weird twist,” making it unlike previous Bachelor franchise episodes. “The family meeting was a little different this time,” Joan said. “It had a different dynamic than it has in the past … It’s a weird ending.” Although she didn’t reveal specific details, Joan mentioned that her children were very protective when meeting her final two suitors, Charles “Chock” Chapple and Guy Gansert.
Fans can also expect an emotional rollercoaster in the upcoming finale episode. “Most Bachelor finales are emotional, and mine was no different — lots of emotions, lots of tears,” Joan shared. “But in the end, they were happy tears.”
The Final Decision: Chock or Guy?
In the much-anticipated finale set to air on November 13, Joan’s final two suitors, Chock (60) and Guy (66), will meet her family. This pivotal moment will lead up to Joan’s ultimate choice of who receives her final rose. While the winner remains a mystery, fans are eagerly speculating on who will capture Joan’s heart and what the unexpected twist might be.
The Next Golden Bachelor: Who Will It Be?
As the season wraps up, speculation has already begun about who might be the next lead for The Golden Bachelor. During the Men Tell All special, fans showed strong support for Charles Ling, one of Joan’s ex-suitors, as a potential candidate. Joan shared her thoughts on the selection process, saying, “I wouldn’t want the job of picking the next lead because I think they’re all fantastic. They’ve become my friends, and I honestly believe any of them would do great.”
Charles, who quickly became a fan favorite, expressed openness to the idea of becoming the next Golden Bachelor. In an interview on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, Charles said, “I haven’t thought about it yet, but if that opportunity arises, why not?”
Charles Reflects on His Journey
Despite not being chosen by Joan, Charles has no regrets and feels grateful for the experience. He shared his surprise at becoming a fan favorite, expressing gratitude for the support he received. “Please tell the fans Charles misses them and thanks them for their love and support,” he said.
Reflecting on his time with Joan, Charles wasn’t shocked when he was eliminated. “I had a feeling I wasn’t going to be one of the final few,” he admitted. However, he cherishes the friendships he made with the other contestants. “We supported each other without competing. In the end, Joan could only pick one gentleman, and we’re all happy for whoever she chooses.”
What’s Next for The Golden Bachelorette?
With the finale just around the corner, fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Joan finds her happily ever after. Will it be Chock, the charming insurance executive, or Guy, the compassionate ER doctor? And what unexpected twist will surprise viewers in the end? All will be revealed on November 13.
