The Golden Bachelorettecontestant Mark Anderson was speculated to be a producer plant who wasn’t on the show to date Joan Vassos. If this is true, it proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the show’s producers care more about the show than the lead. They don’t care if Joan gets her heart broken, as long as the first season of the female-ledBachelorspin-off is entertaining and gets strong ratings. It’s a shame because Joan truly deserves to find true love again.
Joan made her television debut on Gerry Turner’s season ofThe Golden Bachelor,but she had to leave early due to a family emergency. She was given another shot when she was cast inThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1. Joan met Mark on the first night of the season, but he was familiar to audiences, becausehe appeared onThe Bachelorseason 28, when Kelsey Anderson brought Joey Graziadei home to meet her father. Increasingly, it looked like Mark wasn’t on the show to date Joan.

Joan and Mark hadn’t connected, and neither seemed to be trying. Other than the one time Mark pulled Joan aside andgave her an impromptu German lesson which ended was a kiss, there hadn’t been much going on between the two.

She’s Not In It For Fame
If Joan was in it for fame, she would never have leftGerry’s season ofThe Golden Bachelorearly.She would have stayed and parlayed her 15 minutes of fame into an influencer career, the way Mark’s daughter, Kelsey, did. Joan is no stranger to true love. The widower was married to her late husband, John Vassos, for 32 years, before he passed away in 2021. Joan isn’t onThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1 to be famous, while Mark seems to be there to be cast asThe Golden Bachelor.
Producers Put Drama Over Love All The Time
It Can Cause Problems
The harsh truth is that the producers ofThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1 aren’t matchmakers,they’re only interested in making an entertaining show. A recent example is when producers ofThe Golden Bachelorseason 1 pushed Gerry and Theresa Nist into getting married way sooner than they should have. ThelavishGolden Bachelor Weddinggot great television ratings, but the marriage was over just three months later. Hopefully, producers won’t get between Joan and true love.
