variety.com:

Julia MacCary editor SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from “The Golden Bachelorette‘s” Season 1 finale, which aired Wednesday night on ABC.

Joan Vassos‘ journey as the first-ever “Golden Bachelorette” has come to a dramatic conclusion. Vassos, a school administrator, gave her final rose to insurance executive Chock Chapple — who proposed to her — and sent home ER doctor Guy Gansert.

The episode picked up in Tahiti with Vassos feeling defeated after her second runner-up, Pascal Ibgui, voluntarily eliminated himself after he felt he couldn’t fall in love with her, leaving Chapple and Gansert as the final two men.

Vassos soon bounced back for her final two dates with her remaining suitors, who had the added stress of meeting some of Vassos’ family.
