Signs Chock Chapple is breaking Joan’s heart (he shouldn’t have sent Mark Anderson home)

The Golden Bachelor‘s Joan Vassos sent Mark Anderson home, but there are signs she made the wrong decision. Although there are still several men for Joan’s final rose, 60-year-old Chock Chapple seems to be her favourite. If he turns out to be a heartbreaker, Joan will regret the wrong decision and sending 58-year-old Mark home too soon. Joan prepares to visit her husband’s last four hometowns, but she missed the opportunity to spend time with Mark’s family.

Joan made her TV debut on Gerry Turner’s season The Golden Bachelor. Although he had to leave early due to a family emergencyJoan made quite an impression during her short stint on the show and was eventually cast as the lead The Golden Bachelor season 1. After meeting 24 impressive Golden single men and dated them for a season, she narrowed it down to four eligible older bachelors, including Chock. Although he seemed to be her favorite, he may have been the worst mistake of Joan’s life.

Chock Chapple may be living in the past

Can he ever get over his late fiancée?

For 12 years, Chock was married to Heather Chapple, with whom he had two children. The marriage ended in divorce, after which he met Katherine Elizabeth White Gore, and they were engaged for nine years before she died in 2022. During the episode The Golden Bachelor season 1, Chock told Joan it was the most devastating loss of her lifeso it’s unlikely he’s over it.

Like Chock, Joan also lost a great love. He was married to the love of his lifeJohn Vassos, 32 years before he died in 2021. The couple had four children together, all of whom are now adults are watching their mothers looking for love on national television. Not having fully gotten over the loss of her late husband, Joan is more forgiving of the fact that Chock hasn’t gotten over his late bride either.

Chock can be influential

He could be in it for the fame

Bachelor Folk shows are often lousy with contestants who are only on the show to chase social media cloutand The Golden Bachelor Season 1 is no exception. Chock is quite active on Instagram where he currently has 16.5k followers. Brake wedge recently posted a photo of him and Joan at some sort of carnival. Chock’s post has 2.3k likes and his caption reads: “Home village visit tomorrow! Ready to show Joan where it all started.” Instead of talking about his love for Joan, he put on a show that shows where Chock’s priorities lie.

Chock may not be a knight in shining armor

He is Pushy

During the earlier period The Golden Bachelor in Season 1, Joan took several men, including Chock, on a group date to a bowling alley. Chock shocked the other men by being so rude to Joan and making sure she always sat next to him. He basically acted like he was already her boyfriendand don’t give other men a chance. Although Joan may like the desired feeling, she should be careful not to ignore red flags. If she ends up all alone, Joan can kick herself for eliminating Mark.

Chock Has Been Flakey With Women

He has commitment issues

By the time someone is allowed to be Brake wedgeage (see him with Joan in his Instagram post, as seen above), they’ve lived a lot of life and probably endured a lot of heartache. Chock had a complicated romantic history before his appearance The Golden Bachelor season 1, which may indicate that he is not as committed as Joan. First, his marriage ended after 12 years, unlike Joan’s successful marriage of 32 years.

His divorce wasn’t the only time Chock ranted about a woman. The fact that his engagement to his late fiancee Katherine lasted nine years is a huge red flag. It’s understandable that Chock was still hurting after his breakup, so he wanted to make sure he chose the right woman, but nine years is too long. Wasting a woman’s time like that is almost criminal. It’s possible that the relationship was never in a good enough place for a wedding, but then again, that’s all the more reason why Chock should have ended things early.

It’s an absolute tragedy that Katherine died before she could walk down the aisle, and Joan would do well to put her foot down in terms of speed. Chock needs to realize that just because his first marriage didn’t work out, it doesn’t mean his next relationship won’t. If Chock wins The Golden Bachelor season 1 with no strategy to deal with his commitment issues, he breaks Joan’s heart.

The Golden Bachelor season 1 airs Wednesday nights at 8pm ET/PT on ABC.
