Pascal Ibgui, known for his lively personality and memorable moments on The Golden Bachelorette, has left fans buzzing even after his surprising departure from the show. Despite his self-elimination right before the Fantasy Suite dates, Pascal’s charisma has been recognized with a special award, adding another twist to his reality TV journey.
Pascal’s Dramatic Exit and Apology
During the season, Pascal quickly became a fan favorite, known for his playful antics — including famously paying a fellow contestant to handle his laundry. He seemed like a strong contender for Joan Vassos’s heart, and their one-on-one dates suggested a deep connection. However, when it came time for the overnight dates, Pascal chose to bow out, feeling he wasn’t ready to take the next step with Joan.
His sudden exit left viewers wondering who Joan would choose for her final rose: Chock Chapple or Guy Gansert. Adding to the drama, Pascal made headlines during his exit interviews, where he took a swipe at Chock, labeling him a “stalker” due to his overly protective behavior during a group date. However, just days before Joan accepted Chock’s proposal, Pascal issued a public apology for his remarks.
Chock Chapple’s Forgiving Response
When asked about Pascal’s comments in a recent interview with Glamour, Chock Chapple showed grace and understanding. The insurance executive from Kansas downplayed the tension, saying, “People say things in the heat of the moment. I hold no ill feelings toward Pascal. He was like a brother to us on the show. I wish him nothing but the best.”
Chock’s forgiving response won over fans, reinforcing his reputation as a gentleman and adding another layer of maturity to his relationship with Joan.
Pascal’s Special Award
Despite his abrupt exit, Pascal Ibgui’s charm did not go unnoticed. He recently took to social media to reveal a special award given to him by a close friend, recognizing his standout presence on the show. The engraved glass plaque reads:

Fans flocked to the comments to show their support. One user wrote, “Truth! You have a wonderful personality and are handsome as well.” Another added, “She’s correct, you’re quite charming.” The outpouring of praise has fueled speculation that Pascal could return for a future season of The Golden Bachelor.
