Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts Think Joan Is ‘Most Attracted’ to Chock

Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts are picking up on their pal Joan Vassos’ spark with Chock Chapple on The Golden Bachelorette.

“I think she is more attracted to Chock to anybody,” Susan, 67, said to Kathy, 70, on the Monday, November 4, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast.

Kathy agreed that Joan, 61, seemed the “most attracted” to Chock, 61, out of all her suitors but also picked up on a tender moment with Pascal Ibgui.

“But at the end when she was crying with Pascal,” she reminded Susan.

Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts didn’t find love with Gerry Turner, but that doesn’t mean they’re turned off by dating within Bachelor Nation. While promoting their podcast, “Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour,” the Golden Bachelor alums told Us Weekly that they are interested in pursuing Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos’ castoffs after she finds The One.

Pascal ultimately withdrew from the show during the October 30 episode. Joan’s final two men include Chock and Guy Gansert.

Kathy also pointed out that while Joan might see Chock as the “safe and sexy” option for a partner, the couple have a lot of chemistry.

“Did you notice that she hugs him longer, she laughs with him?” Kathy said while Susan exclaimed, “She makes out with him!’

Kathy chuckled and noted that Joan “truly makes out” with Chock. At first, Susan believed that Joan was being chaste when it came to PDA, but after seeing her and Chock on screen she changed her mind.

“The whole entire show she gives little pecks,” Susan said “You know at some point — Joan forgive me cause I know you’re going to be listening to this — I thought, ‘Doesn’t she know how to kiss?’ Then I see her with Chock I’m like, ‘Oh, OK.’”

Kathy added that it seemed “pretty clear” to her that Joan and Chock have the strongest physical connection.

Joan, Kathy and Susan met on the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor. While neither of the women ended up with Gerry Turner, Joan was given another chance to find love on the first season of The Golden Bachelorette.

In her season of The Golden Bachelorette, Chock emerged early as the potential frontrunner for Joan’s heart. At one point in the season, Chock left the show after learning his mother passed away. However, he made it back in time for the rose ceremony.

“I knew in his heart he wanted to come back, but I knew that he could find something at home that didn’t allow him to come back,” Joan exclusively told Us Weekly in October. “And as a really upstanding guy, he would not leave his family that needed him. So I was honestly really, really worried he wasn’t gonna come back. Thank goodness he did.”

The Golden Bachelorette airs on ABC Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
