‘Golden Bachelorette’ Sneak Peek: Joan’s Suitors Work to Impress Her During Hilarious Talent Show (VIDEO)
Joan Vassos’ senior suitors are turning up the charm in this exclusive preview of the all-new episode of The Golden Bachelorette. A group of contestants hit the stage during the Second Annual Talent Showcase in the hopes of earning a private dinner with Joan.
The 61-year-old Maryland native is assessing the performances alongside host Jesse Palmer and guest judge Loni Love. Joan encourages the men to step outside of their comfort zone and show her their “fun side.” They take direction really well. The suitors aren’t afraid to get a little goofy in order to make Joan smile.
Jack Lencioni performs a sock puppet routine that has everyone laughing. “Jack with sock puppets. It’s a car wreck,” Gregg Lassen laughs. When Gregg takes the stage, he decides to tell a few jokes. He gets the crowd chanting “U.S.A.” before telling the room that “U.S.A.,” in this instance, stands for “Untreated Sleep Apnea.”
Chock Chapple admits that “everyone’s nervous” about performing in front of the crowd, but “everybody’s trying to impress Joan.”
Michael Stevens jots down a few words to make Joan swoon. “I cannot juggle, nor can I dance. But one thing I can offer is sweet romance,” he says. Judging by the look on Joan’s face, she’s digging Michael’s love letter!
During the September 24 episode, the suitors settle into the Bachelor mansion and have to adjust to the close quarters. Joan and a group of men will take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to relive their senior prom, with a special performance by Taylor Dayne, as the men compete for the title of prom king.
Next, Joan and one lucky man head to Disneyland Resort for a magical date. When the week wraps up, Joan and the men swap their cocktail party attire for casual barbecue gear, giving her the chance to see her suitors in a more relaxed light.
