The Golden Bachelorette‘s Pascal Ibgui admitted that producers would have to make a major change to The Golden Bachelor season 2 if they offered him the lead role. When The Golden Bachelorette season 1 first premiered, Joan Vassos was introduced to 24 suitors. In just the first few weeks, more than half of the men were sent home. Pascal made it all the way to the final 3, but he decided to quit The Golden Bachelorette because he wasn’t falling in love with Joan, so he left instead of giving her false hope.
