Following weeks of ups and downs, Joan knows what she feels about her suitors as she tries to cope with the grief over her husband's death. She is hoping to find love again on The Golden Bachelorette.
Each time Joan returned to the hometowns of the final four, she learned more about the men still interested in her. However, she also knew choosing the right man to spend her golden years with would be hard.
At the end of the episode, Joan decided to send Jordan back home, leaving Chock, Guy, and Pascal as her last three suitors on The Golden Bachelorette.
The Golden Bachelorette's Joan has three final suitors - Chock, Guy, and Pascal
Chock is a 60-year-old widower who has stood out for being honest and open about his feelings. When they went to his hometown, Wichita, Kansas, Joan met Chock's family and shared a touching moment with them. She spent time with them as they planted a tree in honor of Chock's late mother.
Chock's emotional honesty deeply moved Joan, who said that she felt a strong connection with The Golden Bachelorette contestant. As they talked, Chock revealed to Joan that he was falling in love with her, leading to her feeling ready to fall in love again. Chock's family, especially his late wife's father, gave Joan their full support, strengthening her love for him.
Joan's second suitor is Guy
Guy, a 66-year-old contestant on the show, made Joan feel safe and calm on her journey. His calm and caring personality captured her attention as an emergency room doctor. Joan and Guy's hometown trip to Lake Tahoe showed their connection as they had deep conversations during their boat ride.
Guy's family warmly welcomed Joan, and his sons were very proud of how close their dad was to her. When asked about his feelings, Guy immediately told Joan that he would ask her to marry him, showing his commitment.
His steady presence and willingness to take their relationship to the next level made him a strong contender for Joan’s heart in The Golden Bachelorette.
Joan's final suitor is Pascal
Pascal, 69, is a charismatic Frenchman who hails from Chicago. During their trip to the city, Joan met his children and grandson. Pascal has a lively personality, but when discussing past heartbreak, he became vulnerable. His honesty about keeping his heart closed hit home with Joan, as she felt the same during her journey.
Pascal's family supported his happiness and were happy about his relationship with Joan. Unfortunately, Joan said that she wasn't sure if Pascal was ready for a long-term relationship. His tendency to move slowly was understandable in real life, but the show's fast-paced timeline got in the way.
These concerns notwithstanding, Pascal's charm and their undeniable chemistry make him an interesting finalist. In The Golden Bachelorette, Joan must choose to take a chance on Pascal or go with a more emotionally available suitor.
