SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from Wednesday’s episode of The Golden Bachelorette . Joan Vassos is on the move this week, visiting her final four suitors in their hometowns. First stop: Lake Tahoe, Nevada to see Guy.
Upon Joan’s arrival, Guy immediately takes Joan out on the water for a romantic boat ride. Joan is hoping to deepen her connections with all the men during these trips, which Guy seems to be on the same page about. He says in confessional that he realizes he’s been holding back a bit from Joan, and he wants to find ways to be more vulnerable with her while she’s there.
So far, so good. After the boat, the pair grab drinks on the beach and get deeper into their conversation. Joan admits she’s having a hard time letting herself fall in love with someone else, and she’s feeling guilty about moving forward after John’s death.
Guy assures her that she should take all the time she needs, and he’ll be there when she’s ready. Now, it’s time to meet the family. Joan is visiting with Guy’s siblings, as well as his kids and grandkids.
Very quickly, Guy’s sisters see how happy their brother is with Joan. They tell Joan that he’s had a “couple of rough years,” and they’re looking forward to the idea of him getting a fresh start. Meanwhile, Guy tells his daughter that he’s feeling a bit nervous about the other men who are still in the picture.
She encourages her dad to continue putting himself out there, and hopefully it will pay o.
