Episode two of The Golden Bachelorette brought more tears, more roses and what appeared to be a solid love connection for Joan Vassos. After sorting through sleeping issues (how dare ABC make these precious men sleep in bunk beds?!), the cast of The Golden Bachelorette got ready for their first group date — a senior prom with Joan, 61. Dressed to the nines in various pastel and sparkly tuxedos, eight men and Joan took a limo to a high school to be serenaded by Taylor Dayne , who sang her trademark 1987 hit “Tell It to My Heart” complete with a wind machine and dance off.
Jonathan , who opted for no shirt under his pale pink tux, then revealed that he didn’t go to his prom. Jonathan, now 61, explained that he was the only Black student at his Catholic high school and he was “shattered” after the girl he asked to the dance changed her mind and no longer wanted to attend with him. Elsewhere during the date, Joan learned about Bob ’s daughter coming out — “Thanksgiving comes around and it’s Dr.
Bob and 27 lesbians,” he joked — and that Jordan actually went on a date with Taylor Dayne five years ago. Joan loves hearing about the past connection, which points to a stark difference between the Golden franchise and the OG series. Bachelor Nation will likely remember back on Peter Weber ’s season 24 of The Bachelor in 2020 when Victoria Fuller pulled up to a one-on-one date with the pilot to see Chase Rice – with whom she hooked up pre-show — was there to.
