Fans have been wondering and even have theories about who the chosen one will be. Reality Steve, a blogger, also posted about the same on his Instagram on September 19, 2024, and revealed four hometown dates that happened this season. They were Guy Gansert, Pascal Ibgui, Chock Chapple, and Jordan Heller.
Various signs indicate whether Joan Vassos might be setting herself up for a heartbreak. Why? Let's explore that further, in-depth.
The Golden Bachelorette: Joan Vassos - moving towards a potential heartbreak? Details explored
After premiering on September 18, 2024, 7 participants are still in the show. It includes:
- Mark, Army veteran, Leesville, Louisiana
- Chock, Insurance executive, Wichita, Kansas
- Jordan, Sales Manager, Chicago, Illinois
- Guy, Emergency room doctor, Reno, Nevada
- Jonathan, Shipping consultant, Oakland, Iowa
- Keith, Girl dad, San Jose, California
- Pascal, Salon owner, Chicago, Illinois
Among the names, Pascal Ibgui could be seen since the show's debut episode, building a strong connection with The Golden Bachelorette. Joan, a mother to four and having three grandchildren, could be seen having a connection with Pascal.
Pascal owns a salon and hails originally from France. Currently, he lives in Chicago, Illinois, and has come to participate in the dating show. Through various episodes on the ABC show, Pascal has been vocal about multiple things, including his likes and dislikes.
He has shared how he enjoys designer clothes and has developed an "expensive" taste. The male participant on The Golden Bachelorette has also been open about his preferences for not "cooking, cleaning, or doing laundry."
Pascal's ACB bio states,
"In another life, Pascal would have loved to be a fashion designer."
During Pascal's one-on-one date with The Golden Bachelorette, the duo connected. However, seeing her getting closer to him, in particular, might not be a good thing for her.
Their one-on-one date was in Las Vegas, where they flew private. They enjoyed trying various outfits and had the treat of having a private concert featuring Wayne Newton. The couple also got some time to share a dance.
During their date, he also opened up about his childhood and shared a few things. Pascal could be seen sharing how he didn't get any support from his parents when he was young. That was why he decided to come to the States and make something of it for himself.
Having said that, the couple developed an emotional connection. They also shared quite a few kisses, building a physical connection. However, the male cast member could struggle to be vulnerable and be more open with Joan. That might become an issue in the future if he were to be chosen by The Golden Bachelorette.
On the other hand, Joan has also been vocal about loving her late husband, who died in 2021. She could be seen confessing about her late husband, John, and how he would still be in her heart.
Seeing both of them having difficulties opening up to each other might be another reason for setting themselves up for a potential heartbreak.
Pascal's ABC bio further reads,
"Pascal is French, so being romantic is in his blood, and he’s hoping to meet a woman who is passionate, full of life, and intelligent. Pascal is ready to start the next chapter, and now he just needs to find the right woman to stand by his side."
Another instance was during The Golden Bachelorette's fourth episode's after-party. Joan shared about Pascal not trying to get her attention, after which he apologized. According to Pascal, he didn't want to come off as "aggressive."
Despite many other male participants being there, Joan questioned only Pascal's attention. Although the particular scene didn't make the final cut, it doesn't look good for Pascal.
Fans can see how Joan is trying and making efforts, but that doesn't seem to be reciprocated from Pascal's side. Hence, again, it might be one of the reasons for Joan Vassos's heartbreak.
To know more, fans must wait until ABC airs the next episode of The Golden Bachelorette on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/ PT.
