It is down to the final two.The Golden Bacheloretteseason one has found its top two contestants in Charles “Chock” Chapple and Guy Gansert. This comes after the third man in the running, Pascal Ibgui, stepped away from the competition in season 7, shocking viewers who were rooting for him and Joan Vassos. Just two episodes remain and we will finally find out who is the man who stole the gorgeous Joan Vassos’ heart.
After his withdrawal from the show, Pascal Ibgui appeared for an interview where he candidly spoke about his time on the show. He shared a very valid complaint he has withThe Golden Bacheloretteand honestly, we cannot help but see the logic in his words. With his criticism, Pascal Ibgui underlined the same issue that tore Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner apart.
Pascal Ibgui Has Advice forThe Golden BachelorFranchise
After walking away from the show, Pascal Ibgui sat down for an interview withGlamourmagazine where he voiced his opinion onThe Golden Bachelor’s biggest flaw.
When asked if he would be looking to rekindle things withJoan Vassosif she ends up single after her show, Ibgui gave a very candid and realistic answer. He stated that those between the age of 25-30 and those who are still making a name for themselves can easily uproot their lives and start afresh in a new city.
“She’s not ready to move on from John yet”: Joan Vassos Won’t Find Her Soulmate on The Golden Bachelorette and Fans Have a Strong Reason to Believe It
However, sinceThe Golden Bachelorfranchise aims to bring senior citizens together, the contestants are well-settled in their lives and have full families of their own. It is absurd to ask them to move cities and states just to be with a woman or a man they met on a reality show.
I said from the beginning, if you take a 25- to 30-year-old kid who doesn’t have a pot to pee on, doesn’t own a car, who are in between jobs, who rent an apartment, who’s looking for an identity…it’s easy to say, “Hey, I’m going to move to LA, I’m going to move to New Orleans, and we’re going to make a living together.” But when you are like me, established, I have a business, I have real estate, I have my friends, I have my routine, I have my health club, I have my connection…I ain’t going to move anywhere.
He then added thatThe Goldenfranchise should focus on making shows that are set in the same city. For example, instead ofThe Golden Bachelor,it should beThe Golden Bachelor of Chicago, The Golden Bachelor of Miami,and so on.

Coming back toThe Golden Bachelorette,Vassos lives in Rockville, Maryland and Ibgui lives in Glencoe, Illinois. It would have been near impossible for the two to live a normal life with each other thanks to their worlds being divided by borders. The remaining contestants, Chock and Guy, live in Kansas and Nevada respectively.
It will be interesting to see which bachelor Vassos chooses for herself and how the mystery couple will maneuver through the geographical restraints. Find out on November 13.
The Golden Bachelorette airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. It is also available to watch on Hulu.
