Hollywood, CA – In a dramatic twist on ABC’s Golden Bachelorette, fan-favorite Pascal stunned viewers with a surprise exit, saying goodbye to Joan at a pivotal moment in the season. During the much-anticipated Men Tell All episode, Pascal dropped a bombshell, claiming he left because he was “the chosen one,” leaving fans and fellow contestants with more questions than answers.
The Golden Bachelorette season featuring 65-year-old Joan has captivated audiences as she searches for love among a unique cast of mature and charming contestants. Pascal, a 61-year-old retired professor, quickly stood out, becoming a clear frontrunner with his sincere heart-to-heart conversations and strong chemistry with Joan. But just as viewers were settling into his love story with Joan, Pascal made the unexpected decision to walk away.
In last night’s Men Tell All special, tensions ran high as the men discussed the challenges, heartache, and friendships forged over the season. Host Jesse Palmer didn’t shy away from addressing Pascal’s controversial departure, grilling him on the reasons behind his surprising choice. Pascal’s response left the audience in a mix of shock and excitement: “Joan chose me. I was the one.”
According to Pascal, Joan had expressed her feelings for him during a private, un-aired moment. “Joan told me I was her person, the one she saw a future with,” he revealed. Pascal claimed he walked away because he didn’t want Joan to feel pressured into making such a big decision without fully exploring her connections with the other men. “I didn’t want to be the reason Joan missed out on experiencing her journey to the fullest,” he explained.
Fans of the show immediately took to social media to discuss Pascal’s revelation. Many commended him for prioritizing Joan’s experience, while others wondered if he left due to cold feet or the weight of being “the chosen one.”
Former contestants also chimed in, offering mixed reactions. Joe, one of the quieter contestants who often shared moments with Joan, voiced his respect for Pascal’s decision. “He did what he felt was best for Joan. It was selfless,” Joe said. However, Tom, a fiery competitor known for his witty remarks, questioned Pascal’s motives. “If he was really in love, why leave? You don’t just walk away from that,” Tom remarked.
In the final moments of Men Tell All, Joan herself made a surprise appearance, shedding new light on Pascal’s exit. While Joan didn’t confirm Pascal’s story word-for-word, she did say that she felt a strong bond with him early on. “Pascal was someone who touched my heart deeply,” Joan shared, hinting that there may have been truth to his claim. However, Joan also revealed that his sudden departure pushed her to reconnect with other contestants, leading to meaningful relationships she might have otherwise overlooked.
As fans eagerly await the season finale, it’s anyone’s guess who Joan will ultimately choose. Pascal’s shocking departure and revelations have added a thrilling twist to an already unforgettable season, sparking discussions about love, sacrifice, and second chances. Will Joan find her true match, or will Pascal’s revelation overshadow the finale?
