For fans outside the U.S., accessing The Golden Bachelorette finale required additional steps, as many streaming services restrict content based on geographic location.

VPN Services

International viewers could use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access streaming services like ABC and Hulu. A VPN allows users to connect to a U.S.-based server, enabling access to content available in the U.S.

• Recommended VPN Providers: ExpressVPN and NordVPN were popular options, offering U.S. servers that worked well with most streaming platforms.

Hulu with VPN

Hulu, which streams The Golden Bachelorette, was restricted to the U.S., but with a VPN, international viewers could create a Hulu account and access its library, including the finale.

This finale concluded the storyline of Joan Vassos, but it was also in this that served as the special episode for the second part:

After the Final Rose. Jesse Palmer was the host and ensured that fans would have a chance to receive more closure as they discovered Joan's final choice.
