BBs I can’t believe Joan’s journey is almost over!!! This week we’re in Tahiti and it is STUNNING!!! Joan is based on a Windstar cruise ship. Nancy from the Golden Bachelor comes to visit and counsel Joan on the ship. Joan is still dealing with a LOT of guilt because she is feeling real feelings for these men and how can she when she still loves John? Nancy reassures Joan.
Date with Guy:
Joan looks amazing as she and Guy take a yacht out onto the water. They chat and go snorkeling and see stingrays (love!) and little sharks! That night at Fake Dinner, Joan tells Guy there will be no physical hanky panky. He’s totally ok with that and says he is looking forward to the emotional intimacy. They retire to an over the water bungalow. The next morning Guy says he’s falling in love with Joan.
Date with Chock:
Chock and Joan go riding on an ATV all around the island of Moorea. It’s so beautiful. Then they chat while having a picnic. Back on the ship at dinner, Chock says “I’ve grown to love you” and Joan says “I know you will never hurt me”. Chock is totally love bombing her. He’s reminding me of Sam M from Jenn’s season. Joan tells Chock no hanky panky and he says he’s perfectly fine with it. They go to their suite and full on make out!
Date with Pascal:
Joan and Pascal go to a Tahitian welcoming ceremony and feast, then they have a Tahitian bonding ceremony. It’s v beautiful but it totally freaks Pascal out. He keeps saying “I’m not ready” to the camera. That night on the ship Pascal tells Joan “I got scared today. I don’t think I can get tot the place where you want me to be. I care about you as a friend…but there’s no spark and I need that spark”. Joan is visibly shaken and hurt and you can tell she was NOT expecting this. She walks him to the stairs and they say goodbye. It’s v sad. Then Joan tells the camera she’s not lovable!!! That’s so not true!!!
Next week is the Men Tell All and the rest of the finale. Until then BBs, xo 🌹
