When is 'The Golden Bachelorette' finale? Date, time, where to watch Joan Vassos' big decision
"The Golden Bachelorette" spoilers ahead.
"The Golden Bachelorette" is ready to hand out her last rose.
After a shocking breakup, the inaugural season of the reality dating show returned with the "Men Tell All" episode last week which USA TODAY's Bryan Alexandar described as "goo-ey good," with the men embracing "Golden Bachelorette" Joan Vassos, 61, and each other with hearty Sensitive Man Hugs.
During the "Men Tell All" episode of the show, all of Joan's potential suitors talked about their experience on the show while Pascal and Joan addressed the shocking twist in the previous episode.
"I want nothing but the best for Pascal," Joan told USA TODAY after the taping. "It was hurtful, and I was surprised; I admit that. But he wasn't at the place he needed to be. And the bottom line was, he did the right thing."

'Men Tell All':Pascal left Joan's 'Golden Bachelorette' because he was 'the chosen one'
Pascal, meanwhile, said he did not intend to hurt Joan, telling USA TODAY: "I feel very confident that I was 'the chosen one,' and I wasn't at the place she needed me to be. I realized that there is no need for me to continue."
The drama is surely not over: "In every 'Bachelor' ending, there's a twist," Joan told USA TODAY. "There are a lot of tears and emotion. But in the long run, there are happy tears too."
All eyes are now on the season finale as viewers speculate over who Joan will choose between Guy and Chock.
"It’s a crucial week on the breathtaking island of Bora Bora as Joan’s family arrives, eager to meet the men who have been vying for her heart," ABC says about the upcoming episode. "As her journey to find a second lasting love draws to a close, Joan grapples with the uncertainty of whether she can truly let another man in after the passing of her late husband."
Joan, her family and her final two men will join Jesse Palmer in front of a live studio audience to watch her final dates unfold, ABC says.

"The Golden Bachelor" alum Joan Vassos is ABC's inaugural leading lady on the first-ever "The Golden Bachelorette."
A private school administrator from Rockville, Maryland, the 61-year-old Vassos was among the top picks for the show following the success of "The Golden Bachelor," USA TODAY exclusively revealed in February.

During her time on Turner's season, Vassos had passionately talked about her husband, John, who died after 32 years of marriage from pancreatic cancer. "He was the husband that always made me feel safe and cherished," Vassos had written on Instagram in January.
