Considering howThe Golden BachelorS1 ended withBachelor Nationfeeling a massive disconnect with Gerry Turner, especially after he struggled to maintain his reputation and stay relevant,The Golden Bacheloretteis already proving to be refreshing with Joan Vassos’ heartfelt gestures and impressive beginning. After Turner’s reality had previously disappointed fans, Vassos’ choice for her coveted first impression rose delighted audiences and reinstated their faith in the show.

Joan Vassos’The Golden Bacheloretteis Worth the Hype

After initially appearing as one of the contestants from Gerry Turner’sThe Golden Bachelor,Joan Vassoscame up with her own showThe Golden Bachelorette,underBachelor Nation.

Unfortunately, since Joan Vassos failed to find the love of her life on Gerry Turner’s show, shecame up with her own reality TV series, featuring 24 suitors. And duringThe Golden BacheloretteS1 premiere, Vassos seemed already impressed by Keith Gordon, to whom she offered her first impression rose, and her first and only kiss of the night. But, despite her heartfelt gestures towards Gordon, Vassos went ahead with—Chock Chapple, Guy Gansert, Pascal Ibgui, and Jordan Heller.

After two highly anticipated episodes, it seems that Joan Vassos not only knows how to keep audiences on the edge of their seats but is also aware of how to evoke emotions in fans. Initially impressed by Keith Gordon, the 62-year-old girl-dad from San Jose, California, who pulled up in an old-fashioned station wagon, rather than riding in the limousine, Vassos claimed to be delighted by his authenticity, since it reminded her of the past.

Therefore, with her romantic gestures and heartwarming remarks, Joan Vassos appears to be rulingThe Golden Bacheloretteway better than Gerry Turnerwas ever able to do withTheGolden Bachelor. And the biggest proof of this is how Vassos’ refusal of Keith Gordon sat well with fans instead of enraging them, perhaps because of her genuineness and her ability to accept her vulnerability.

According toReality Steve,Joan Vassos seemingly went ahead with her final four men, perhaps because she and Keith Gordon were both close to their respective families, and it would have been reckless for them to settle for each other and then break up due to distance playing a factor. Therefore, Vassos’ genuine approach to finding love with such realistic reasons helped her outshine Gerry Turner.

Previously, while many of the women onThe Golden Bachelorblatantly used their bodies to appeal toGerry Turner,The Golden Bachelorettefeatured a different and more genuine approach to finding love, wherein the men tried to make Joan Vassos laugh and compliment her. Although Vassos’ season is just getting started, it seems to have the potential to offer an entirely different experience fromThe Golden Bachelorand entertain audiences without scandals, unlike Turner.

With Joan Vassos in control, it seemsThe Golden Bachelorettecould finally undo the wrongs ofThe Golden Bachelor,wherein Gerry Turner left fans fuming after he filed for divorce from Theresa Nist, marking the shortest marriage of the franchise. It seemed that Turner wasn’t actually interested in finding love, he was rather willing to earn television fame. But with Vassos taking genuine steps and using realistic reasons to find love, perhaps she might have a lasting romance and marriage.

The Golden Bacheloretteairs on Wednesdays on ABC.
