After having to leave 'The Golden Bachelor,' it's Joan Vassos' moment. Go inside her 'journey' to find love on 'The Golden Bachelorette.'
Joan Vassos — willowy, blonde, and 61 years young — is surrounded by 12 senior men who are getting ready to show some skin.
To make the final group of 25 men, a suitor had to be "someone you’d be proud to introduce to your 90-year-old mother," says casting director Jacqui Pitman. "We wanted men who were at a stage where they were sincerely looking for the last love of their life." And that day at the Avalon, Joan assures us that romance is already happening, even though she's only part way through filming her season. "I have some strong connections with a few of the guys," she says.
Producers do not agree. "I think once you start getting mail from the AARP — and I get it myself — you're Golden," says Graebner. "I would love to see a season with Ellen. I'd also love to see a season with Susan , with Leslie, with Faith. I can imagine all of those, and they'd all be very different. This was almost an embarrassment of riches."And don't try telling Joan she’s not Golden.
Freeland remembers talking to another contestant off camera after he didn’t get a rose from Joan. "He said, 'I wasn't sure before, but now I know I'm special.'" One month before ABC debuted Joan Vassos as the Golden Bachelorette in mid-May, their first pair of senior stars made an announcement of their own.
