Golden Bachelorette Fans Share Reactions to Joan Eliminating Jordan: “A Friend at This Point”

The new episode of The Golden Bachelorette aired on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, featuring Joan and her remaining four suitors: Guy, Chock, Pascal, and Jordan. As they prepared for their hometown visits, Joan expressed her excitement over meeting their families, yet she also shared that her last experience in such a scenario was with her late husband John’s relatives.

After spending time with each suitor’s family, Joan faced a tough choice. Ultimately, she decided to eliminate Jordan, advancing Guy, Chock, and Pascal further in the competition. Joan appreciated Jordan’s likable character but felt uncertain about his dedication to their potential relationship.

During their hometown date, Jordan admitted he was not ready to express deep feelings for Joan within the short span of two weeks. This lack of emotional readiness left Joan questioning their bond, leading to her decision to let him go.

The latest episode sparked a flurry of reactions from fans of The Golden Bachelorette on X. While some noted the apparent lack of chemistry between Joan and Jordan, others commented that Jordan might be better off without her, arguing that Joan still needed to heal from the loss of her husband.

“At this point, Jordan feels like just a friend to Joan. She didn’t show the same affection towards him as she did towards the others,”a fan expressed.

“Jordan, no! Don’t say you’re not prepared!”another fan remarked.

“There’s no chemistry with Jordan,”a user posted.

Many viewers felt that Joan’s choice to let Jordan go was not surprising given the evident lack of romantic connection between them.

“Wow, Jordan’s going home after not really connecting during Hometowns and admitting he wasn’t ready to share his feelings…”a user commented.

“Joan is clearly conflicted about Jordan. She’s not going to choose him,”another viewer noted.

“Jordan’s relationship with Joan feels more platonic than passionate,”someone added.

“Jordan is a fantastic guy who deserves love, but I just don’t think it’s with Joan,”a user shared.

Some fans were taken aback that Jordan managed to reach the hometown dates, questioning how he had avoided elimination sooner.

“I’m surprised Jordan even made it this far; I haven’t seen any real connection with Joan,”one user commented.

“I’m really puzzled about how Jordan got to Hometowns,”another added.

Jordan Faces Challenges Expressing His Feelings to Joan

In this week’s episode of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan visited Chicago, Illinois, to meet Jordan’s family. She interacted with his daughters, Ali and Jamie, along with his brothers Larry, Dan, and Mark, and Ali’s boyfriend, Kodee.

Understanding that her bond with Jordan was not as strong as her connections with the other suitors, Joan still appreciated his youthful spirit. The couple enjoyed a deep-dish pizza at Lou Malnati’s followed by rainbow cake and Jepson Malort shots.

Joan shared a humorous story about Jordan’s “epic fall”during their ice skating date with his family, which elicited laughter from Jordan, who mentioned that playful teasing is a family tradition. Jordan’s brother Dan commented that a two-month engagement timeframe isn’t unusual, sharing his own similar experience.
