Golden bachelorette Joan Vassos reunited with Guy Gansert at the live recording of After the last rose.
After Guy, 66, asked if there was “something missing” in their relationship, Joan, 61, assured him there was nothing. “The bottom line is, it’s a time thing,” she said during the Wednesday, November 13, episode. “In the end it was very difficult to say goodbye to you because in any other situation I would have been with you because we would have had more time.”
She continued, “There was a time element of having to make a decision and I had just moved on, my heart already belonged to someone else. It was absolutely nothing you did. You are a wonderful man.”
Joan added that she has “missed” Guy, noting that it was “hard to be away [him]”
and that she hopes to go on double dates in the future.
Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos shares her reaction to a restraining order filed against one of her suitors in the past.

Before the final rose ceremony — and after choosing not to introduce the emergency room doctor to her family — Joan sent Guy packing. Guy was blindsided by her decision to end their relationship.
“I felt so good today,” he told Joan during the breakup. ‘I fell in love with you. I was ready to let it all go. … This is not at all what I expected.” Guy added that he was getting ready to get down on one knee and propose.
After saying goodbye to Guy, Joan accepted a proposal from Chock Chapple. While 61-year-old Chock emerged as an early frontrunner, Guy and Joan’s bond seemed to blossom all season.
“You’re very handsome,” Joan said as Guy walked up to her during the premiere. For his part, Guy said during a confessional that he thought the interaction went “well.”
“She looked right at me and had a smile on her face the whole time, which made me laugh,” he said. “I started to get butterflies in my stomach.”
After meeting his family in Lake Tahoe for the hometown date, Guy admitted to Joan that he had “fallen” for her “big time.” While on the islands of Tahiti for the fantasy suites, the pair enjoyed a snorkeling date and Joan admitted her feelings for Guy had grown.
Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos was as shocked as the rest of the world when Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announced their decision to divorce. “I was surprised. I loved watching their journey.

“I’m surprised how easy it was and how much we’ve progressed today,” Joan said in a confessional at the time. “This was just a smoldering event that had been going on for a while and it’s pretty incredible. He has opened up and is now so fully into it. It gives me the same feeling. He is certainly just as strong as the other connections I have now.”
During the evening portion of their fantasy suite date, Guy admitted that he was initially “very hesitant” that the trip would work for him. But now he shared that he is “beyond hopeful.”
“I know we’re both looking for the same thing,” Guy said in a confessional. “And I really believe I am the right person.”
