Fans boycott Golden Bachelorette premiere as they rage over 'sick' franchise Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos has two simple requests for her future partner "John and I met in Ocean City, Maryland in 1983. I was 20 years old, he was 21. When John and I first fell in love, it was all about family.
We had a joyous, loving household with a lot of people in it filled with love," Vassos said. Fans of the series have now taken to Twitter to compare the season to Jenn Tran's previous season on the Bachelorette. One user stated: "These men seem so wholesome and sweet but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Maybe Jenn’s season scarred me." "If they’re able to cast these type of men for Joan, they damn sure could have done a better job for Jenn #BachelorNation," another stated. A third noted: "I only watched the season finale of Jenn’s season, but I can’t imagine missing a minute of Joan’s season! I’m hooked, and we’re only halfway through this episode!" DON'T MISS.

Vassos also spoke candidly about her late husband John's battle with pancreatic cancer and her initial struggle to accept his illness. "It's a terrible, terrible cancer. He went from 220 pounds to 120 pounds.
I, for some reason, was living in a dream world. He was dying and I was pretending it wasn't happening. I just couldn't accept that he wasn't going to be here anymore," she revealed.
