Joan Vassos is set to appear this fall as the first-ever Golden Bachelorette. Vassos is familiar with the world of dating competitions. She appeared in Gerry Turner’s season of The Golden Bachelor and was a fan favorite before self-eliminating in week three. While Vassos is optimistic about her chances of finding love on The Golden Bachelorette, fans shouldn’t get prepped for another golden wedding. Vassos recently revealed wedding bells aren’t in her near future, despite being the lead on a dating show that regularly ends in engagement.

With “The Golden Bachelor” remaining one of the network’s top shows among Adults 18-49, ABC announced in February that it had greenlit a spinoff titled “The Golden Bachelorette,” which will air Wednesday nights this fall.
While presenting its 2024-2025 fall primetime schedule, the network announced that Joan Vassos, the 61-year-old grandmother and school administrator from Rockville, Maryland, the fan favorite from “The Golden Bachelor,” who self-eliminated herself from the competition when a medical concern with her daughter arose, will seek a second chance at finding love as the first-ever Golden Bachelorette.
Despite other challenges she’s faced along the way – including the heartbreaking loss of her husband after 32 years of marriage – ABC notes that Vassos remains “an embodiment of strength and grace as a devoted mother of four, grandmother of three, and school administrator while finding solace in the music of Elton John, spending time with her dog, and cooking.

The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos isn’t letting The Golden Bachelor divorce rain on her parade.
Joan was named the next Bachelor Nation star at the Disney Upfronts earlier this week.
She seemed a longshot to take over for Gerry Turner after self-eliminating in Episode 3 of the premiere season of The Golden Bachelor.
But her crowning has been a pleasant surprise for those who can’t wait to watch the premiere season of The Golden Bachelorette.
Now that Joan has been named, Bachelor Nation is clamoring to know more, including her opinions on many hot subjects — including Gerry and Theresa Nist’s shock divorce news.
The pair decided to end their relationship just three months after their lavish televised wedding, a move that some fans thought dampened the show.

Joan Vassos as the first Golden Bachelorette was a surprise to many fans in the franchise. She has now surpassed Katie Thurston in Bachelor Nation. But what does that mean?
Joan Vassos Surpasses Katie Thurston In Bachelor Nation
Bachelor Nation fans love to give titles and create competition among the contestants. For example, there’s an entire Instagram account dedicated to tracking how many social media followers Bachelor Nation alums have.
One thing fans like to keep track of is specific details of the jump from contestant to lead. In particular, how long they were on the show before getting eliminated and later named Bachelorette or in Joan’s case, Golden Bachelorette.
For example, the early Bachelorette leads typically came in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place on their particular Bachelor season. That tradition differed slightly when Hannah Brown was named Bachelorette despite coming in 7th place on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor.

Golden Bachelor star Joan Vassos was named the historic first Golden Bachelorette. Is Gerry Turner’s runner-up, Leslie Fhima, bitter over the snub? Or is she responsible for the network choosing someone else?
Golden Bachelor Runner-Up Passed Over For Spinoff
Many people thought Leslie Fhima was a shoo-in for the first-ever Golden Bachelorette. After all, she was one of the two finalists on the first season of The Golden Bachelor.
Viewers felt empathy for her. Especially as they watched her heart break when Gerry Turner told her she wasn’t the right one for him. Whose heart didn’t hurt when Leslie said she’s never the right one for anyone?

She clearly wasn’t the right one for ABC to choose to lead the inaugural season of the Golden Bachelorette. That honor went to Joan Vassos, the 61-year-old widow who left the show early due to a family crisis.

ABC is switching up its schedule in a big way come fall 2024, and it’s bad news for some of our favorite series.
The Rookie, which has been bounced around the schedule in recent years, won’t return for Season 7 until 2025.
An exact timeline for the show’s return has not been determined, but it will have an 18-episode order, which is pretty good when considering the delayed start.
ABC plans to air those 18 episodes uninterrupted. Will Trent, which has been renewed for Season 3, is also getting the same treatment.
The biggest shocker on the fall schedule is the decision to bump Grey’s Anatomy to the 10/9c slot after spinoff Station 19 ends its run.

“The Golden Bachelor was probably the television event last year,” ABC TV Group President Craig Erwich said in an interview with Deadline on the day of the Disney upfront presentation. The Bachelor offshoot was so successful, it spawned a highly rated special, The Golden Wedding.
But just three months after Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist tied the knot, they filed for divorce having never lived together. The controversy raised questions about the future of the franchise whose previously ordered spinoff, The Golden Bachelorette, premieres this fall.
The Golden Bachelor is not going anywhere, Erwich suggested.
“I think Golden Bachelor is a show that’s about finding love at a later age. It’s incredibly root-able, it’s aspirational, and that franchise and those values extend to a lot of different people and a lot of different stories. So we’re very dedicated to this franchise,” he said.

Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist are officially getting divorced. The first-ever golden couple made it just three months into their marriage before they decided they were not right for each other. There have been plenty of instances where a The Bachelor or The Bachelorette lead has decided the winner they picked wasn’t right for them. Sometimes, they circle back to another contestant from their season. That won’t be happening this time. At the very least, it isn’t an option for at least one The Golden Bachelor contestant. Leslie Fhima recently dished about her time on the series. She made it clear in a recent interview that she will not be entertaining any possible advances from Gerry Turner now or in the future.

Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner seemed to have made a big mistake when he chose Theresa Nist. Some fans wonder why he went for her instead of the other contestants. While some people chalk it up to fame and attention-seeking, it seems that he might have done better with another contestant, like Leslie Fhima.

Summer is close.” Turner didn’t address his divorce from Nist in his post, but she quickly “liked” Turner’s post.

Kathy Swarts Shares Conditions For Golden Bachelorette
ABC doesn’t seem to have a shortage of candidates for a Golden Bachelorette spinoff. Several contestants from Season 1 of Golden Bachelor have expressed interest in a second chance at love on reality TV.

We always figured that the reason for The Golden Bachelor’s divorce would eventually come out.
Initially, it was because Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist claimed they couldn’t agree on where to live.

The Bachelor alum Ben Higgins said he heard Nist and Turner’s relationship began to unravel after she suggested cornfields and farmlands in Indiana could be turned into prime real estate.

Kathy Swarts is very open to appearing on the first season of The Golden Bachelorette. ABC has yet to announce the lead in the upcoming series, but fans strongly suspect that one of the favorites from Gerry Turner’s season will lead the series. Susan Noles was a frontrunner, but she’s dating other men already. Joan Vassos and Faith Martin are fan favorites, but neither has committed to the series. If Swarts is named the first-ever golden bachelorette, ABC must send any man who has never been married packing before he even encounters the eligible bachelorette. Swarts has a very important prerequisite for the men she entertains.
