Jordan Didn’t Cause Any Drama In The House

An Easygoing Guy

Aside from the romance and drama, one of the most interesting and unique things aboutThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1 washow well all the men got alongwith each other. Though many of the men fell for Joan, they didn’t let the competition get in between them. That’s not to suggest there was never any drama among the men.

During a group date at a bowling alley, Chock annoys the other men by being way too possessive of Joan.

Throughout the group date, Chock always sat down next to Joan and put his arm around her,basically acting as if she was already his girlfriend. It rubbed the other men the wrong way asChock was one of Joan’s favorites. Unlike Chock, Jordan was never the cause of any drama. He was always easy to get along with, which is an ideal trait forThe Golden Bachelorto have.

While the cast ofThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1 included many great options forThe Golden Bachelorseason 2, thefront-runner is 58-year-old Mark Anderson, who happens to be the father ofThe Bachelorseason 28’s Kelsey Anderson. Being a member ofTheBachelorfranchise royalty puts Mark ahead of other contestants. While Mark is a great option for the next male lead ofTheBachelorspin-off, Jordan is more outgoing and would, overall, make a betterGolden Bachelorlead.
