A fourth agreed: “This makes a lot of sense. They’re both so youthful,” as a fifth added: “Omg someone suggested they pair up a few days ago. What did they know?”

While Jordan assured that he did want to keep working at his relationship with Joan, the leading lady wasn’t reassured.
“I feel confused,” she told the cameras. “I don’t think Jordan knows where he’s gonna be, but he’s currently opening to continuing this on.”
Jordan and Joan kissed before parting ways, but she left asking herself: “Do I take a leap of faith with Jordan?”
Ultimately, Joan sent Jordan home and fans were not surprised online.
On X, formerly Twitter, one fan wrote: “Woah, Jordan’s going after after doing nothing to get to Hometowns AND said he didn’t want to share feelings..”
Another added: “Tbh I feel for Joan! Like choosing between two uncertain people l’m sure is hard. I think I would have chosen Jordan.. but we’ll see.”
Some fans, though, began asking themselves if all Joan thinks about is money, especially after she chose to send Jordan home.
One fan took to X, formerly Twitter, to write: “She didn’t pick Jordan cause he didn’t have enough money I mean…look at the three left. Coincidence??? No way in hell!!”
However, another said: “If Chock has money, where has he been hiding it? He looks poor to me.”
Meanwhile, Leslie may not have been lucky in love during her time on Golden Bachelor but she isn’t shutting down a romance in the franchise completely.
The former reality TV star was a guest on the Playing The Field: A Bachelor Podcast and revealed: “I’m not shy, but when it comes to that sort of thing, I’m a little old-fashioned, and if they want me, they can ask me. I don’t know if people are intimidated. I don’t know.”
