The surprising filming timeline of The Golden Bachelorette season one starring Joan Vassos has been revealed. The 61-year-old former The Golden Bachelor contestant had become a fan favorite early on in the dramatic season of Gerry Turner. Joan is a school administrator from Rockland, Maryland being chosen as the spin-off’s lead ends months of speculation that the first ever Golden Bachelorette was going to be Theresa Nist or Leslie Fhima. Fans will recall that Joan had eliminated herself during week three of the reality TV show when her daughter faced a medical emergency.
Reality Steve is revealing at what stage the filming for The Golden Bachelorette is at the moment.
According to Reality Steve’s recent podcast episode where he discussed Joan being announced as The Golden Bachelorette, the blogger also had a few comments to make about the show’s filming status. “Now they haven’t even started filming it yet,” he revealed. He mentioned that the contestants haven’t even left for filming yet. As per Reality Steve, the show will be filmed in the month of June. He had seemingly told his listeners that The Golden Bachelorette would be filmed “right after Bachelorette” during a podcast episode in January 2024 itself.

What To Know About The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos
Joan has four kids - Allison, Nicholas, Erica, and Luke and two grandkids and was looking for love once again after losing her husband of 32 years to pancreatic cancer. Joan had a similar background to Gerry, who was also in search of a second chance after his wife’s death. However, Joan couldn’t become Mrs. Gerry Turner and the title went on to Theresa after she won the season. Gerry and Theresa’s wedding lasted only for three months because they refused to relocate and change their living situation. Gerry’s season was a major disappointment for The Bachelor Nation.
Now, all eyes are on Joan to make her relationship work and make her spin-off a success. Joan had left the show early when one of her daughters started having a difficult experience after giving birth. Joan’s daughter had just had a baby and it wasn’t a normal delivery. To Joan, her family always came first, so leaving the competition was what she needed to do. Joan had already lost her husband in 2021. She spoke about still feeling the shock of it even if the memories were fading. Still, there is a fun side to Joan that is yet to be explored on TV.
She’s talked about loving to dance after a couple of glasses of wine and enjoying a big, juicy, burger. The social media posts announcing Joan as The Golden Bachelorette are full of positive comments congratulating her and wishing her all the best. A few viewers are hoping that Joan’s contestants are all from her home state, so the Gerry-Theresa issue isn’t repeated all over again. They know that Joan is a down-to-earth woman and dedicated mother who deserves a good man in her life again who will treat her right and give her a lifetime of happiness.
