‘The Golden Bachelorette’ Finale Was Completely Unfair to Guy Gansert

Guy Gansert was left heartbroken during the finale of ‘The Golden Bachelorette,’ did the show’s structure make it unfair?

Last week, The Golden Bachelorette fans watched Joan Vassos pick her next great love in the season finale. While Vassos had a variety of great guys to choose from, her final pick was between Chock Chapple and Guy Gansert. While both men have their fans and critics, most viewers agree that the finale might not have been fair to Vassos’ runner-up.

‘The Golden Bachelorette’ finale felt unfair to Guy Gansert

In the season finale, fans watched Chock Chapple meet Vassos’ family first. Later, he appeared at her villa to offer her a keychain to a hypothetical apartment in New York City. The move sealed Guy Gansert’s fate. Vassos stopped the competition then and there. She went looking for Gansert so she could break up with him before he met her family.

Gansert never got to meet Vassos’ kids or say what he wanted to say. For some fans, that seems inherently unfair. It feels like the finalist who “goes first” has a bit of an “advantage,” so to speak. While Joan Vassos looks pretty happy with Chock Chapple, he’s not who most fans want to see her end up with. In fact, many fans worry that Chapple was merely “playing the game” while Gansert was more authentic in his pursuit of love. How could this be rectified in the future? It might be best to bar contestants from seeking out the lead between the first family meetup and the second one. It’s only fair, we think.

Does Guy Gansert want to be the next golden bachelor?

While Guy Gansert was left crying in the rain over Joan Vassos, it has been several months since the big break up. He seems to be doing just fine, and we think he is ready to find love again. At least, his Instagram account suggests he is prepared and willing to give it another try on national television.

Late last week, TV Show Ace reported that Gansert was promoting himself for the position of the next golden bachelor by sharing posts from various social media platforms that are in favor of him in the lead. Gansert also suggested, in the caption, that he’d be happy to throw his hat into the ring. The post has since been deleted. The quick deletion has some fans questioning if he’s been offered the role. It’s also possible he learned who will become the show’s lead. ABC has yet to make an announcement.

When will season 2 of ‘The Golden Bachelor’ air?

ABC has yet to announce when season 2 of The Golden Bachelor will air. Still, filming dates appear to be set. A casting call makes it evident that seniors interested in finding love on national TV should have their calendars open from June 2025 until August 2025. Joan’s season of The Golden Bachelorette was filmed between June 2024 and August 2024.

Assuming season 2 of The Golden Bachelor follows the same timeline as Joan’s season of The Golden Bachelorette, fans should expect another golden bachelor to find love sometime in September 2025. Two Bachelor Nation shows will likely make it to air before season 2 of The Golden Bachelor. The Bachelor season 29 will premiere in January. The Bachelorette season 22 will likely air over the summer.
