The Golden Bachelor Starring Joan Vassos has premiered and the spin-off series has raised hopes Bachelor Nationafter The Golden Bachelor ended with the divorce of Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist. The Golden Bachelor played Gerry, a 72-year-old widower who falls in love with Theresa, a 70-year-old financial services professional. Gerry and Theresa were married shortly after the season finale in a live, televised event called the Golden Wedding. However, they broke up after only three months of marriage because they couldn’t decide where to live since neither of them wanted to leave their families.
The Golden Bachelor season 1 star Joan, a 61-year-old private school administrator from Rockville, Maryland, was also The Golden Bachelor competitor, but had to leave early to attend to a family emergency. Now that Joan’s season has begun, it is very clear that her journey will be as hopeful as Gerry’s, but will likely have a more successful ending for the following reasons.
Bachelor Nation already knows Joan Vassos
There are no surprises with Joan
One of the most shocking things that happened in a while The Golden Bachelor was when The Hollywood Reporter released their introduction to Gerry. They argued that Gerry was not an innocent widower who hadn’t dated since his wife Toni’s death six years earlier, but rather a villain who had dumped the woman he’d been dating for nearly three years because she’d gotten fat before they met in high school. He had even lived with her. This bombshell destroyed Gerry’s reputation and ruined the show in the eyes of viewers who felt the producers had done a terrible job investigating Gerry’s past.

The Golden Bachelorette’s Joan didn’t want to get engaged or married
Joan was happy to leave the show in a relationship
When Joan meets 24 men who compete for her heart The Golden Bachelor, he did not make it his mission to engage. In an interview with People When she finished filming, Joan explained, “I kept saying I didn’t have to get engaged. My goal was to go out in a committed relationship.

In nature, in the real world, you need to spend time there.”
Because Joan is a logical person and also learned from Gerry and Theresa’s mistakes, his journey seems to have much more potential for success than Gerry’s The Golden Bachelor experience. He and Theresa got caught up in the moment and let their emotions get the better of them, which ended in disaster. They didn’t think things through and so their marriage quickly ended in divorce. On the other hand, Joan listens to her head and heart, so she makes a more rational decision. He does not allow a fantasy world The Golden Bachelor ruin his real life.

One thing Joan has in common with Gerry is that they both had phenomenal people to choose from on their golden journeys. Gerry’s women were vibrant and inspiring, including Joan, Theresa, runner-up Leslie Fhima, Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts, Sandra Mason, Faith Martin and many more. Joan’s The Golden Bachelor men seem to be the same so far. Although some of them have experienced tremendous heartache, they have overcome obstacles and become stronger because of it.
Joan has so many quality men to choose from that she is sure to be successful. This combined with his rational view helps him make the best decision. Also, since fans know Joan, unlike Gerry, there shouldn’t be any surprises about her past as the season progresses. Joan stated on the show that it was as important to her to represent the women of her generation as it was to find love. Hopefully Joan’s season ends with her getting exactly what she wants and deserves, and she and her final choice live happily ever after.
