‘Golden Bachelorette’ Shocker: Pascal Leaves the Show After Confessing He’s Not in Love With Joan

Right after Joan Vassos compared Pascal Ibgui to her late husband John in the October 30 episode of The Golden Bachelorette, the 69-year-old Frenchman’s face dropped. He had been gearing up to tell the lead that a relationship between the two wasn’t in their future.

Trying to let her down gently, he started his speech with, “You’re a beautiful woman. I thought I wouldn’t last that long because I saw all these guys walking into the house.” He added, “This is a lot of competition. I’m not a fighter. I’m a lover.”
