Kaitlyn Bristowe had a front-row seat to Joan Vassos’ connection with her Golden Bachelorette suitors. Keep reading to find out who the former Bachelorette star thinks has the strongest connection with Joan.
Viewers Weren’t Happy To See Kaitlyn Bristowe
Several Bachelor Nation stars have already made appearances on The Golden Bachelorette. Kelsey Anderson, who got engaged to Joey Graziadei on Season 28 of The Bachelor, helped introduce her dad to Joan on night one.
Gerry Turner was on a recent episode to give Joan Vassos advice. The official Golden Bachelorette Instagram heavily promoted Kaitlyn Bristowe appearing in the October 10th episode.
But a lot of viewers weren’t happy to see her, even though her season of The Bachelorette is considered one of the best. Check out some of the comments:
- “NO MORE KAITLYN please. 🙄 Susan, or whoever from Gerry’s season would have been a much better fit.”
- “WHY does Kaitlyn continue to make the screen?🤦🏼♀️. Her presence always seems to take things down a notch or 2……”
- “Kaitlyn must have a godfather/mother in the franchise who loves her. There are SO many more deserving, beautiful and non problematic ex bachelorettes to choose from yet they keep bringing her back. We need to know WHY.”
- “Please stop bringing in former participants. They had their time in the spotlight. They add no value to the show. Do you really think most people want to see them?”
- “Stop bringing her back. Nobody is asking for this 🤦🏼♀️”
- “I found her presence, annoying, and irritating😬”
- “Ugh why is she there?”
Former Bachelorette Reveals Best Golden Bachelorette Suitor For Joan
So, what was Kaitlyn doing on The Golden Bachelorette? She hosted a striptease date for Joan and several suitors. The men bared all to help raise money for Stand Up 2 Cancer. Kaitlyn was on the Love to See It With Emma and Claire podcast after the episode aired and shared what she observed during filming.
In Kaitlyn Bristowe’s opinion, Joan Vassos has the strongest connection with two of her suitors: frontrunner Chock Chapple and fan-favorite Pascal Ibgui. Chock Chapple briefly left the competition to be with his family after his mother’s death.
“Clearly undeniable on TV and off TV. I just think they’re so sweet together and I watched them interact,” Kaitlyn Bristowe said of the connection between Chock and Joan.
The former Bachelorette also saw a strong connection with Joan and Gary Levingston, but only as close friends. Kaitlyn was right about that. Joan sent Gary home during that same episode.
Do you agree with Kaitlyn’s choices of Chock or Pascal for Joan? Sound off in the comments.
