The Golden Bachelorette, which premiered on Wednesday, Sept. 18, featured former Golden Bachelor contestant Joan Vassos in her search for a second chance at love. Twenty-four contestants from across the nation and from a range of backgrounds attempted to win Vassos' heart — including Mark Anderson, the father of The Bachelor season 28 winner Kelsey Anderson. “My goal was to leave in a committed relationship," Vassos told PEOPLE ahead of the season premiere. "I wanted to have somebody I saw a future with and that we wanted to see how it works in the real world outside of the Bachelor bubble. I didn't want to go through all of this and be at the same place I was when I came to the mansion.” See all the men who vied for Vassos' hand in marriage, and who the private school administrator ultimately chose during the Nov. 13 season finale. 01 of 24 Chock Chapple 'The Golden Bachelorette' contestant Chock.
