We're just going to dive right in here, because this is not something you don't know. But maybe you'd best be sitting down just the same. You've seen the teasers for ABC's "Golden Bachelorette" Episode 7, which is the always emotionally explosive portion of the Bachelor franchise known as Fantasy Suites, where remaining contestants are treated to "overnight" dates.
In the teaser, Joan, 61, signals tragedy with full Edgar Allen Poe attire — that black Lamarque feather jacket and the matching Loewe long dress. She's in clear distress with French-born Chicago salon owner Pascal, 69, who showed alarming signs of emotional withdrawal episode. Suddenly, it's like the TMZ paparazzi, who usually swarm LAX arrivals, invaded beautiful Tahiti.
The shaky camera zeroes in on Joan in emotional pain, clearly from Pascal. It's true: This fantasy episode turns into a dark, tear-filled nightmare. Brace for what just happened: Pascal has been furiously backpedaling in the Joan stakes as the show has progressed.
Remember, this was the guy who smoothly grabbed Joan on the first night for private time in front of 23 other shocked competitors. So keep that power move in mind when he claims in this episode, "I'm not a fighter; I'm a lover." Things in Tahiti paradise go great when it's chill beach vibes on Joan's third overnight date with Pascal (after emergency room physician Guy, 66, and insurance executive Chock, 60).
Yet somehow, crazy old coincidence, Pascal and Joan end up walking right into .
