This week, a new episode of *The Golden Bachelorette* aired on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, featuring frontrunner Joan Vassos as she embarked on hometown dates to ensure she could make a well-informed choice about her future.
One of the standout dates took place in Wichita, Kansas, where Joan met with Chock’s family and friends, including his father, Jay, stepmother, and children—Taylor, Tyler, and Michael. Also present were Tom Sr., the father of Chock’s late fiancée, Kathy, and her brother.
The gathering occurred at Roger’s ranch, a friend of Chock’s, where they took a moment to pay tribute to Chock’s late mother, who sadly passed away during the filming of the show. It’s worth noting that Chock had previously taken a brief hiatus from the competition to be with his family during this difficult time.
The emotional scene prompted varied reactions from viewers online, particularly concerning Joan’s attendance at a memorial service for Chock’s mother. One user expressed:
“Wow… attending a memorial service as part of a hometown date is truly intense. I’m speechless.”
“Rest in peace to Chock’s mother, but can you imagine arriving for a hometown date only to find it’s at a FUNERAL?”commented another viewer.
“Chock turning his deceased mother’s memorial into an opportunity to gain sympathy points with Joan is INSANE,”one tweet stated.
Many fans were critical of Chock during this emotional segment:
“Creepy Chock isn’t in love with Joan; he just wants to win the show. There’s a huge difference, and he’s incredibly manipulative,”one commenter wrote.
“Chock seems like a classic love bomber. Don’t ignore the red flags—trust me, I’ve been there,”another fan noted.
“Joan didn’t learn anything meaningful about Chock aside from his mother’s passing since he didn’t even take her to his home, opting instead for a friend’s ranch,”a tweet noted.
Further reactions from *The Golden Bachelorette* fans included:
“Honestly, I find Chock to be creepy, obsessive, and possessive. Joan made a big mistake; she should’ve picked Jonathan or Keith instead…”stated one viewer.
“Chock just introduced the ultimate Double Trauma Bomb to #TheGoldenBachelorette, planting a tree for his deceased mother while meeting Joan’s parents from his late fiancée of seven years,”another fan remarked.
