The success story of Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple from The Golden Bachelorette has taken the internet by storm. While Joan seemed to connect with several contestants, including Guy Gansert and Pascal Igbui, many were not surprised that Joan ultimately gave Chock her final rose. The pair seemed to connect by their first encounter, with Joan awarding him the first one-on-one date of the season.
With the pair bonding over their similar romantic pasts and perspectives on dating throughout The Golden Bachelorette season 1, their relationship seemed inevitable. However, The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist seemed similarly compatible. Unfortunately for this former couple, their romance was short-lived. Most believe Joan and Chock will not share the same fate as they seem stronger than most couples that leave the franchise. Many can expect to find the lovebirds following through on their commitments.

Gerry and Theresa, on the other hand, did not seem like an obvious match. While Gerry ultimately proposed to Theresa, many believed he would choose runner-up Leslie Fhima. Gerry and Leslie seemed to share a spark, and while he and Theresa were deepening their connection, Gerry was assuring Leslie that she had his heart. This made her eventual rejection all the more brutal.

However, when prompted by The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast, she shared, “It’s not just the location thing. That’s all I’ll say.” The pair clearly had underlying issues.
