The Golden Bachelorette star Chock Chapple won Joan Vassos’ heart, but some reality TV relationships don’t work out, and if their engagement ends, Chock might be a good candidate for The Golden Bachelor. Yes, it would be a little bit unusual to bring a man whose romance failed into a new series, asking him to try again, but maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea. It’s just a question of whether viewers would accept a man who is essentially a failed Romeo.
This is the real world, not a Disney wonderland, and the odds of things working out between Chock and Joan are actually about 40 percent, as per Good Housekeeping. The failure rate for second marriages is over 60 percent. So, it’s possible that viewers would forgive Chock for not being the ultimate Prince Charming. Perhaps they’d even sympathize with a man who tried but didn’t succeed. Who hasn’t done the same? Who hasn’t tried and come up short? It’s a universal experience, and for this reason, it seems like Chock could thrive as a future The Golden Bachelor lead.
Chock & Joan May Make Things Work
However, There Are Red Flags
This isn’t to say that fans shouldn’t root for the duo. Both seem like good people who’ve been through so much heartache. Joan lost her husband to pancreatic cancer, while Chock’s late fiancée died of brain cancer. Joan and Chock have been through the very worst, and they deserve compassion. Right now, The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner is living with incurable cancer.
As older reality stars, Joan, Chock and Gerry have more experience, and more pain. They’ve moved through a lot of life, rather than a little, unlike the 20-something cast members on lighter fare like Too Hot To Handle.
Right now, Joan and Chock are trying to blend their families and this isn’t easy. Yes, their kids are on the older side, but it’s still a big adjustment which is bound to bring some tension. On Thanksgiving, Joan recorded a TikTok while sitting in her car alone. She talked about her feelings on her late husband John Vassos’ birthday, November 27. It was hard for her to grieve while spending time with Chock and his kids, who came to her to bring her into their Thanksgiving traditions.
Chock probably had some deep thoughts of his own on that day. He’s loved and lost too. Joan and Chock are enjoying their time together, but there are complications. They plan to marry, but not yet. In the meantime, they will divide their time between three different locations – Maryland, Kansas and New York City. Joan and Chock possibly found a Big Apple love nest. While this is good news, the more serious they get quickly, the more disappointed the public will be if it all falls apart.
Chock Has A Lot To Offer
He Could Be An Unlikely But Ideal Golden Bachelor
If things don’t work out, Chock, opening up as a podcast guest above, as per Instagram, may be fortunate enough to come back for another shot at love. The Golden Bachelorette’s Chock Chapple seemed controlling at times during his stint on the show, but he had good points too. He was refreshingly direct about what he wanted, cutting through the type of indecision that is often seen on these series. He wanted to be Joan’s partner and made it clear that he was the right person for her.
Chock could bring his distinct sense of self to The Golden Bachelor. The insurance company owner is intelligent and emotionally aware. Chock is also well-groomed and sophisticated. At the same time, he has a down home quality that’s endearing, whether he’s whipping up recipes to eat during a football game or praising his children. If things don’t work out with The Golden Bachelorette lead Joan, Chock would be an interesting Golden Bachelor. The spin-offs are about trying again and never giving up, so maybe Chock should get a second chance, if and when.
