Other contenders, such as Guy Gansert and Pascal Igbui, already broke her heart, as the studio found out the former’s ex-wife filed a protective order against him, while the latter eliminated himself from the competition after feeling a lack of spark.

Now that Vassos returned to leadThe Golden Bachelorette, she was given another shot at finding romance. From 24 men, it was narrowed down to three potential partners: Chock Chapple, Guy Gansert, and Pascal Igbui. The finale episode saw her bestow the rose to Chapple.

Looking at the bigger picture, Vassos may have been blinded by love because of the pressure and the need to end the show with a grand engagement. In a previousinterview, she revealed that she was not necessarily looking for an engagement, but a love she could pursue outside of the reality show.

Evidently, she has ignored all the red flags because of her vulnerable state. It seems like she might be repeating Turner’s mistake of not looking at life outside of the show. The famed TV star’s marriage with Theresa Nist dissolved in just three months because of their inability to cohabitate. Theirliving situationwas complicated and it took a toll on their relationship. It’s a shame because they were truly a perfect match. Nist was undoubtedly the ideal woman for Turner.

In the case of Vassos, fans can only hope she made the right choice, although many signs hint she picked the wrong guy when she has all the chance to look for love elsewhere.

Chock Chapple and His Questionable Past Romances

Before joiningThe Golden Bachelorette, Chock Chapple was married for 12 years to Heather Chapple. They remained civil after their divorce, and while this is a good thing, the fact that he failed to save their marriage is already a telltale sign.

His other former partner, Katherine Elizabeth White Goree, was engaged to him for nine years before she died in 2022. It’s heartbreaking to know, but there is a possibility that Chapple might still be not over her death as it was only two years ago. This would make it difficult for him to commit to Vassos.
