The Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos had a rough final four hometowns episode, as she felt two of her remaining guys weren’t that into her.
On Wednesday’s episode, viewers saw Joan, 61, visit Guy, Pascal, Jordan and Chock in their hometowns.
Joan said she hadn’t met any man’s family since her late husband John Vassos’ kin in 1983 and admitted that she wasn’t “at the love place yet” with any of them.
Although Joan loved seeing all the men’s relatives, she didn’t like that two of the men weren’t ready to commit. She showed one of them the door at the rose ceremony before fantasy suites.

After their boat ride, he drove Joan to Reno, where they met his sisters and children.
Guy’s sisters Greer and Gayle loved Joan and told her what a caring man he is.
Guy’s son Glenn said Joan “seemed to fit right in.” “I hope you pick him,” Gayle said.
Guy confided to his sons that his interest in Joan was 9.5 out of 10!
The sisters praised Joan to Guy and he said, crying, “I can love again.”
After leaving the home, Guy opened his heart, telling Joan, “I’ve fallen for you big time.”
Happy Joan told cameras, “I feel way closer to Guy after today.”

The blonde beauty met hair salon owner Pascal in his beloved adopted city of Chicago.
Joan said that the Frenchman’s “zest for life” was similar to her late husband’s “epic” style.
As Parade.com readers know, Pascal got attention on episode 5 by appearing in his tighty-whities! After that aired, he posted another underwear shot on Instagram.

“Did you miss me?” Pascal asked on episode 6, and Joan shot back that he always asked her that!
Wearing black, the bachelor proudly walked Joan through his high-end hair salon, where he shouted, “my people!” to his employees amid hugs—then ordered them back to work.
Joan was impressed by the “bustling” business and found it “very sexy” to see Pascal take command.
Later, in a private chat, Pascal told Joan he’d been hurt in a previous relationship and could “feel guarded.”

Joan replied that she’d earlier thought “maybe he’s not into me.”
Pascal said, “I definitely would like to have a companion,” without saying anything about her specifically!
He drove Joan fast in his convertible to his family’s house in Chicago, where he introduced her to friends John and Steven, daughters Natalie and Sara, son Maxim, and grandson Pryce.
Natalie raved to cameras, “They look so good together.”
Maxim told Joan his father was his idol, but also admitted “he has had a lot of girlfriends.”
Would he be ready to commit? Maxim claimed yes because “he’s so sick of dating.”
The father and son spoke and Maxim said Joan was a really good fit. Pascal praised Joan’s classiness.
Pascal cried and hugged his son.
With Natalie, Joan compared Pascal to her late husband, and Pascal’s daughter told her, “You’re already family.”
The Golden Bachelorette admitted to Pascal’s grandson that she’d kissed his grandpa!
Tearful Natalie told Pascal how much she liked Joan, and he said although his walls were still up, he appreciated the family feedback.
Although Joan had strong feelings for Pascal, he still seemed very much a question mark.
What happened on Joan’s hometown date with Jordan?
Joan stayed in Chicago for a hometown with Jordan, with whom she’d had a “slow progression.”
They enjoyed deep dish pizza and then she was embraced by two of his daughters and three brothers.
Jordan’s brother Dan said his own marriage had been fast but stood the test of time, so he felt the show process could work.
However, Jordan told daughter Jamie that he wasn’t ready to be engaged to Joan in two weeks!

Daughter Ali told Joan that Jordan’s hard divorce ten years earlier from her mom had made him cautious. “It comes from a place of fear.”
Joan worried in confessional about Jordan’s “ten-year wall,” which seemed too much.
Seeking to ease her mind, Jordan told her they could make big steps together.
But Joan was confused afterwards. “Do I take a leap of faith with Jordan?” she asked.
The reality star fretted that both Pascal and Jordan were “holding back.”
What happened on Joan’s hometown date with Chock?
Joan eagerly hugged Chock in his native Wichita, Kan.
He had gathered a huge group of friends and family members at a pal’s ranch to meet Joan.
The group even included the father of Chock’s late fiancé, Kathy.
But it wasn’t just a party for Joan, as everyone was also there to honor Chock’s late mother Jill Cobb with a tree-planting.
As The Golden Bachelorette fans know, Chock’s mom, a doctor, died of cancer during the filming of the show and he took off some bereavement time, only to later return to Joan’s side.

Chock’s brother Michael said their mother would have wanted him to be happy.
“Cancer is just an evil thing,” Chock told the crowd, shoveling dirt under the tree to pay tribute to his mom.
Joan also tossed dirt on and said in confessional, “It made me really feel like family.”
She told his two kids, “I’m crazy about your dad.”
Chock shared similar thoughts with his buddy Roger, gushing about Joan being smart and caring. “I’m crazy about the girl,” he enthused.
Kathy’s father Tom gave Joan his blessing and said he could see Chock was in love with her.
The insurance exec’s father Jay knew they were in love also and insisted to his son that he drop his armor and express feelings to Joan.
“I’ve given her my heart,” Chock told cameras. “I’m all in.”

Then Chock told Joan directly, “I’m falling in love with you.”
Joan said to cameras she felt relieved.

In confessional, Chock said, “She better accept my engagement,” while Pascal sounded uncertain, noting, “I want to do my very best to make it work.”
