The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos exposed secret behind-the-scenes information, admitting that she broke the rules after the Stand Up For Cancer Chippendales group date. During The Golden Bachelorette season 1 episode 4, Joan went on the group date with Charles Ling, Chock Chapple, Dan Roemer, Gary Levingston, Gil Ramirez, Jonathan Rone, Keith Gordon, Mark Anderson, and Pascal Ibgui, in which the men performed strip tease routines for charity. Bachelor Nation alum Kaitlyn Bristowe served as the emcee for the date.
Kaitlyn had announced that the man who performed best on stage would earn some extra alone time with Joan. However, as viewers saw in the episode, Joan never chose a winner.
According to EW, The Golden Bachelorette group date took several hours to film, although only about 12 minutes of it actually aired in the episode. In addition, Kaitlyn had announced that the man who performed best on stage would earn some extra alone time with Joan. However, as viewers saw in the episode, Joan never selected a winner.
Joan revealed to EW that she couldn't choose a winner among the men, so the Golden Bachelorette producers allowed her to break the rules. She confessed, "I was supposed to choose one, and I was, like, tortured. They all gave so much. When [producers] told me, 'You don’t have to choose one,' I was like, 'Oh, thank you!' I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings."

What Joan Vassos’ Indecisiveness Means For The Golden Bachelorette
Joan Has Had To Make Tough Decisions
Throughout The Golden Bachelorette season 1 so far, Joan has struggled to make some decisions. In the premiere episode, she stepped away from the rose ceremony because she was having trouble eliminating the men. Now this is another situation in which she had to make a tough choice, but couldn't because the men really put themselves out there during their strip teases, and Joan didn't want to hurt their feelings.
However, Joan did give Chock the group date rose, which means that he might've been the man she would have chosen if the producers had forced her to make a decision. But, Joan is going to have to get used to possibly hurting some of the men's feelings if she wants to find the second great love of her life.
Our Take On Joan Vassos Being Indecisive On The Golden Bachelorette
Joan Will Make The Right Choice In The End
Although Joan has been struggling with indecisiveness during The Golden Bachelorette, I'm confident that she'll follow her heart in the end and find love. After her group date, she had two wonderful one-on-one dates with Jordan Heller and Guy Gansert, which also gave her hope for the future. Joan is only having a hard time making decisions because she was gifted with such a phenomenal group of men. Any one of them would be a loving and supportive partner for her, so it's difficult for her to choose among them.
The Golden Bachelorette has been a joy to watch so far, and Joan and the men are the reasons for this. The men on the Stand Up For Cancer Chippendales group date gave their all for the cause and for Joan, even though some of them felt uncomfortable in the situation. It's no wonder that Joan couldn't choose a winner among them.
Joan did eventually make the tough choice to send home Charles, Gary, Dan, and Gil, leaving her with Chock, Guy, Pascal, Jordan, Mark, Jonathan, and Keith. I know that Joan will find the second great love of her life among these seven remaining amazing men on The Golden Bachelorette.
