Guy Gansert, known as the runner-up on The Golden Bachelorette, experienced heartbreak when Joan Vassos chose to engage with Chock Chapple during the season finale. Despite the emotional setback, the 66-year-old ER doctor from Reno, Nevada, is focusing on personal growth and family connections.
Guy’s Experience on The Golden Bachelorette
The Development of Guy and Joan’s Relationship
Unlike Joan’s immediate spark with Chock, her romance with Guy unfolded gradually. Their chemistry started to build during a memorable one-on-one cooking date where they prepared lemon baked ziti. During this time, Guy shared his experience of going through a divorce after 34 years, allowing their bond to deepen.
As their relationship progressed, Joan offered Guy a hometown date in scenic Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Here, Joan met Guy’s close-knit family, including his siblings—Greer, Gary, and Greg—as well as his children and grandson. Their connection deepened further during the overnight dates in Tahiti, where emotional bonds flourished. Unfortunately, just before the final rose ceremony in Bora Bora, Joan broke the news to Guy that she was in love with someone else, leaving him heartbroken. Despite this revelation, both acknowledged their affection for one another, albeit in differing capacities.

While they have communicated, it remains in the early stages.
Guy humorously shared with the hosts that he had a celebrity crush on Diane Lane, admiring her since the 1983 film The Outsiders. Despite this admiration, he is currently navigating his single status with a focus on personal growth.
Guy’s Future in the Bachelor Franchise
An Open Door for New Opportunities
Many fans are eagerly speculating about the possibility of Guy becoming the next Golden Bachelor. Although this opportunity seems plausible, there are concerns regarding his past; specifically, a protection order for domestic violence was filed by his ex-wife in 2021, but it was subsequently withdrawn. This incident has raised questions regarding his suitability for future franchise roles.
Nevertheless, Guy has expressed his willingness to return to the franchise, stating on the podcast that he would “absolutely”participate again if given the chance. His ability to connect compassionately with other contestants during his season showcased his caring nature, further endearing him to the audience.
