Signs The Golden Bachelorette’s Chock Chapple Is Just Like Clout Chaser Gerry Turner (Will He Break Joan Vassos’ Heart?)

The Golden Bachelorette star Chock Chapple may be Joan Vassos’ final choice, but there are signs he could be just like The Golden Bachelor clout chaser Gerry Turner, which means he could break her heart. Chock was introduced on the opening night of The Golden Bachelorette season 1, getting to know Joan along with the rest of the cast of the series. While many contenders could’ve stolen Joan’s heart, Chock was quick to win her affection and ensure that their relationship continued to grow stronger. Some struggled to believe Chock’s feelings were genuine even as Joan continued to prioritize him.

Chock, who has been out of the dating game for quite some time, shared a lot about his life outside of The Golden Bachelorette with Joan during the season. Making it clear that he had some rough experiences, Chock tried to relate to Joan in personal ways that were off-putting to Bachelor Nation. Chock’s ability to wheedle his way into Joan’s psyche was interesting, as he seemed to genuinely care about her in some moments, but in others seemed like he could simply be looking for attention. Chock was called out for being a potential clout chaser throughout the season.

Chock Is An Attention Seeker Like Gerry

He’s Been Sharing As Much As He Can

While Joan and Chock haven’t been able to share much about their relationship outside of what was on the show throughout The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Chock has been doing his best to gain Bachelor Nation’s attention. Chock has posted a fair bit on social media throughout the season, hoping to highlight his relationship with Joan as viewers got to watch it on screen. Though Chock hasn’t been one of the more popular contestants with Bachelor Nation, he’s tried to keep himself relevant.

Like Gerry, who continued to try to build his following throughout The Golden Bachelor season 1 and afterward, Chock made it clear quickly that he was interested in gaining social media relevance. Chock has shared a lot about the season alongside information about his business online, doing his best to push Bachelor Nation to support him. Looking for attention, Chock has alienated himself from a lot of viewers who aren’t interested in supporting his behavior.

Chock’s Been Pushing Joan Into More Attention-Seeking Schemes

They’re Considering A Live TV Wedding

While Chock has been doing his best to keep himself relevant, he’s also been pulling Joan into his attention-seeking schemes. Joan was clear before The Golden Bachelorette season 1 that she wasn’t entirely sold on getting engaged by the end of the season, nor was she interested in a live TV wedding like Gerry and Theresa Nist had indulged in. After the season’s end, however, Joan wound up engaged after putting Chock in the driver’s seat surrounding the potential proposal and has opened herself up to the idea of a TV wedding. Chock’s likely pushing Joan into his attention-seeking plans.

Chock’s Only In It For The Fame The Same Way Gerry Was

He’s Looking To Make A Name For Himself

Although Chock and Joan’s relationship is still fresh to the public, it’s clear that he’s looking for reality TV fame in the same way Gerry was. Chock’s behavior on The Golden Bachelorette made it clear that he was looking for Bachelor Nation to pay attention to him, and while he’s gotten his wish, the majority of the attention surrounding him has been negative. Like Gerry, Chock was hopeful that he’d be able to build a career out of his reality TV appearance, but his time on The Golden Bachelorette may have turned Bachelor Nation against him rather than supporting him.
