I have to say this is the first Bachelorette / Bachelor franchise reality show that I have enjoyed. There is little to no drama, whining or backstabbing (so far). Great group of men that get along and Joan is amazing. I will say I'm not a big fan of Chock. Positioning is one thing. As Guy politely said to Chock, give the others an opportunity to sit & talk with Joan. If there are any red flags, Joan needs to keep her guard up with Chock. He is manipulative & controlling which will become worse.

Been fun to watch the bonding between the guys! I don't think Joan is ready and I don't think the right guy is left to pick from. Joan let 2 great guys (normal) go. Chock scares me! He looks very jealous and possessive!!! He did not bond with the guys! Guys who don't know how to make friends with other guys is a red flag for me! Just like women who don't have female friends, red flag!!! Good luck Joan if you chose chock!!!!! Gives me the ibbie gibbies!!!!!!!

I agree Gary has no business interfering with Joan's time on The Golden Bachelorette looking for love.

GET HIM OFF OF THERE. He's the picts.

I love this show, even though I always wonder if the producers are just setting the scenario. I truly hope that everybody there is invested in their best interest in finding a soulmate. I feel that Mark really wasn’t given a fair chance. I think we all thought that Joan was gonna choose him. That man shouldn’t have a problem finding another woman, that’s how handsome he is. I love the choice of polite and well mannered the men are. I don’t agree that Joan will pick Chock. Joanne has made it perfectly clear that she is looking for somebody to spend time with and have adventures with, and I believe that Chock is too busy to give her what she needs. The man that she chooses is the man that gets less airtime.

Joan, plz ditch the wig. It's obvious! Looks like you're trying to be young. Does not do u justice.

Mark was beyond boring, a shell, sadly not that different than his daughter. Get Gary off this franchise, a total phoney. Chock not a choice, smarmy and possessive. Loved Jonathan, the doctor would be my choice.

I am disappointed with the Golden Bachelorette. It is a little too mundane. There is no excitement or thrill. While I do enjoy the no whining or backstabbing, it could use more pissaz! Chock just makes me gag. He is way too much! He comes on as really caring for Joan. I see him as manipulating and controlling. I think there is also too much chatter regarding contestants speaking so much about their spouses who have ed away. If they are truly ready to move on with a new partner, in my opinion their former spouses would not be at the forefront of their thoughts. However, I will continue to watch this season.

The show is a little boring to me., Its nothing like the golden bachelor, theirs just not any excitement, but I won't give up, hopefully its coming.But I do love Joan, she is a genuine person, and I like that she has morals, and is willing to stand by them.

I am tried of all the talk about spouses who have died. If Joan and the guys are not ready for romance why come on the show. This show is boring time to spice it up or cancel it.

Jenns’ Mother gave the best advice for all choosing to appear on this tv program

“Honey, You need more time. You can’t know somebody in this short time.”

Amen & Amen

Horr heart breaks on all “contestants “

Chock is a typical salesman. He wants to win. I see no chemistry there what so ever. He seems to be playing to the cameras. I think Guy is sincere... but overall Joan is not ready to turn the page from the loss of her late husband. It's obvious as she continues to feel guilty over dating which is normal. I believe a person who loses a soul mate in some instances may never be ready to move on. Joan seems to have initially thought this journey would perhaps open her heart but it seems she is just not committal.

For weeks she has made it very obvious she is picking chock because he is very rich. He owns several homes, alot of real estate and apt. complexes etc. So she wants him for money not love. She Is very arrogant and always acts like she is better than every one else. The best man there is Guy the er doctor very humble not rich hard working and loves her.If she was marrying for love she would pick him but she is not she is marrying to be rich and every one has known for weeks she will pick chock.He also told her he loved her 2 weeks into the show. She has some money from her job so they are both phoneys looking to be rich. This show is about finding love not wealth.

Joan is a drama queen. I don't think she is ready to be a golden bachelorette. Not over her husband's death. Such a shame.

Chock acts like a man with a temper! He wants to win the prize, like it's an ego thing...Chock invited her to his Mom's celebration of life...what got me was the way he couldn't get back to her fast enough! That was disrespectful to his family!

The Golden bachelorette Joan,has had cosmetic help. You can tell when the camera shows a close up of her. I think Chock is fake.

I love joan,it feel she hasn't pick the right guy yet.she has to figure things out. Make sure if you choose that you would live in the same town!!!

Very staged indeed interesting but staged.

I love it! Can't miss it!

I was excited to see so many handsome men vying for the WIN.

However, I have never felt that Joan was a good fit to be The Golden Bachelorette . I was disappointed to learn she was the one chosen for this premiere show. I give her credit for going for the challenge of it all, but most times she seems a little "plastic" IMO. All the men seem enthralled and enamored with her, so perhaps her true personality exudes "realism" beyond the cameras. Sorry, I suppose I'm just not a fan.

Not very ìnterested in it any longer...itnis sooooo boring....lets get a move on and put some excitement in it....this is too lame.
