The Golden Bachelorette season 1 star Pascal Ibgui took himself out of the running on the popular ABC series, and now, he's opening up about his post-show life. On the series, Pascal was a polarizing presence. He has a strong personality - he may be too much for some people. Those who appreciate a truly gentlemanly approach may feel that Pascal's too bold and outspoken. However, Joan was taken with him before he dumped her on TV. After that drama unfolded, he said that producers told him to end things with her.
The finale's slated for November 13, and the anticipation's building. Pascal will need to watch from the sidelines, but Joan wasn't right for him.
Yes, Pascal blamed producer interference for his decision to break their connection and bow out. Joan was hurt by his actions, and her self-esteem took a hit. However, she rallied, focusing on the other men she liked, including the controlling Chock Chapple and the controversial Guy Gansert, whose restraining order drama is making headlines. So, it's for the best. He's keeping busy after the show, and it's time to talk about what he's been up to.
Pascal Posted About The Golden Bachelorette Men's Tell All
He Seemed To Enjoy The Experience
Pascal is a 69-year-old hairdresser who didn't get Joan's final rose, but then again, he didn't really want it, and he's been sharing fascinating insights into his life after the show. As a fitting farewell, he added an Instagram post featuring a group shot from the Men's Tell All. In the picture, the men all looked happy - for once, they weren't really competing.
However, that doesn't mean that there weren't dramatic reveals that really stood out. Also, Pascal showed up with a bit of a makeover, flaunting a clean-shaven face.
Pascal's costar Charles Ling actually seemed like the Tell-All fan favorite - people cheered for him, almost wildly, and it's possible that the response will get him cast on The Golden Bachelor. However, Pascal has a shot too. He's an interesting choice because he's not so warm and fuzzy. Pascal was polarizing when he called one of Joan's preferred suitors, Chock, a "stalker," during an interview with Glamour. Yes, Chock has a clingy quality - he's the type who stays really close to a love interest at all times.
However, Chock has his good points. He's assertive - he makes up his mind about a situation and moves towards a goal. He's direct rather than overthinking and over-complicating everything. With Chock, his body language shows how he feels. He stays close to be with Joan, or to show dominance, or both. There aren't a lot of other ways to interpret his actions, beyond him feeling insecure because a lot of other men are trying to hit the same goal.
Pascal Took Accountability For Hurting Joan
His Apology Seemed Sincere
The Golden Bachelorette celeb is enjoying his life, but he's sorry he hurt Joan, as per the ExtraTV clip shown above. He's said he was pushed to do it, but really, he didn't have to. Maybe an honest conversation that was a little softer and gentler would have been preferable. She didn't feel good about herself when all was said and done, so clearly, he could have improved his approach. No one can un-ring the bell, and everyone has to deal with life as it really is, but life is long, hopefully, and Pascal's making the most of his.
The Golden Bachelorette star's hanging out with pals, doing hair, and sharing relatable opinions, mostly, such as griping about housework. He's not a hero, exactly, but Pascal's not a total villain. He's an interesting blend of traits and might make for an unlikely yet appealing Golden Bachelor. If he gets the chance, he could shine because he tells it like it is.
