I’m Convinced Joan Vassos Is the Villain on The Golden Bachelorette (She’s Troubled)

The Golden Bachelor the season 1 lead, Joan Vassos, may turn out to be a villain in the series due to her problematic ideals and behavior. I watched eagerly The Golden Bachelor every week as new episodes came out and it followed all the drama on and off screen and I’m convinced Joan will be controversial. Joan was one of 22 women who competed The Golden Bachelor season 1 lead, Gerry Turner’s heart. Joan didn’t make a strong first impression on Gerry, but she won him over with a poem she read and secured a one-on-one date.

Joan and Gerry became attached to the loss of their spouses and the importance of family in dating. Gerry became so enamored with Joan that she offered him a rose to continue in the competition, and the pair shared their first kiss. Joan left at the beginning of the third episode, and Gerry developed strong connections with several women. He ended up choosing Theresa Nist, and the couple married in January 2024. Unfortunately, they announced their intention to divorce in April 2024, which was devastating. Bachelor Nation.

Joan left Gerry heartbroken with her early exit

Could he do the early exit again?

Joan joins the cast The Golden Bachelor was controversial in his personal life. Joan said that she put her role as a mother first in everything she did, and that she was finally ready to put herself first in this case. However, this was not the case, and she left early to take care of her daughter who recently had a difficult pregnancy and childbirth (via Bachelor Nation.)

Joan seemed sad to lose the chance to continue the show, but hasn’t talked much about how she felt bad about the effect it had on Gerry. If Joan had stayed behind Gerry, Gerry might not have chosen Theresa and divorced like he did.

While I know it’s speculation, it has to be considered because Joan was the obvious frontrunner. In his groundbreaking season The Golden Bachelor, it is possible that he bows out early due to personal family reasons, or maybe she doesn’t think she wants to bring a new man back into her family. If this were to happen, Joan could become mean as it attracted men and viewers.

Joan’s type is too rigid

She’s not going to be happy with most men

Joan recently gave an interview where she was asked about her type. It was clear from her answers that Joan has a certain type.

“Tall, dark and handsome. That’s who I married.”

Joan cared too “Be energetic, kind, generous. Love the kids, love their family like I love my family. I know that’s a tall order, but that’s what I’m looking for.” I think Joan will go along The Golden Bachelor experience with a specific type in mind and she is not open to pursuing men who are not her rigid ideals in a future partner.

Joan started filming the season in June, and there are very few spoilers to show how the experience went, so it’s possible she had some success. However, given his The Golden Bachelor to the past and his uncompromising vision of what he wantshe might still be a villain.

Golden Bachelorette fans didn’t want Joan as the lead

There may already be prejudices against him

While Joan had a similar story and was supported by fans after the show, there were several more obvious options. The Golden Bachelor to lead. Choices like runner-up Leslie Fhima, the charismatic Kathy Swarts and Susan Noles, or even the unknown parent of the series, as Gerry was. Since The Golden Bachelor I think the fans wanted a lead other than Joan Joan is coming into the season with something to prove. If he lets the audience down in any way, it could reinforce his villain status.

The Golden Bachelor is available to stream on Hulu.
