DuringThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1, both Chock and Pascal went on a bowling group date with Joan, during which she allowed Chock to dominate her time. Some saw his possessiveness as a red flag. After Pascal left the show because he wasn’t in love with Joan, he said thatChock acted like a stalker, but he later apologized for saying that.
Chock explained why he thought that Pascal called him a stalker.
In an interview withKCUR 89.3, Chock explained why he thought that Pascal called him a stalker. During the bowling group date, Chock and Joan spent a lot of time together. He shared thateventual runner-up Guy Gansert asked him if he could have some with Joan, and he replied,“Absolutely,“and he walked awayand let him have the time. Chock admitted that he didn’t know"if that was really portrayed — I can’t tell you the accuracy.”
Chock explained that his fellowGolden Bachelorettesuitor Jonathan Rone “really helped me understand that scene, where Jonathan goes, ‘This is the first time we saw Joan with somebody that really was a couple.'” As a result,the other men didn’t like how the situation was unfolding. Several of them “had feelings for Joan,” so for them to see her and Chock at the “next level” of their relationship, it really “bothered them.”
Guy (Gansert) did come up to me and he said, “Hey, can I have some time with Joan?” I said, “Absolutely,” and I walked away (and let him have the time). So, I don’t know if that was really portrayed — I can’t tell you the accuracy. … Jonathan (Rone) really helped me understand that scene, where Jonathan goes, “This is the first time we saw Joan with somebody that really was a couple.” And I think that’s what they didn’t like. Because there were some guys that really had feelings for Joan and to … see us really at that next level of the relationship — I can’t speak for them, but I think that’s what bothered them.

Our Take On Chock Chapple Explaining “Stalker” Scene
Chock Did Not Behave Like A Stalker
Although Chock definitely came on strong with Joan at times, he was definitely not a stalker. In fact,Pascal could’ve learned a thing or two from him, considering that Joan told him that she wanted him to be more attentive on the group dates.Pascal took a backseat, while Chock put all of his energy into getting to know Joan better. She’s a strong woman who speaks her mind, so, if she didn’t want Chock to take all of her time, she would’ve let him know that. Joan enjoyed having so much of Chock’s attention.

Joan and Chock had an undeniable connection from their magical first date in Disneyland. However,Joan really realized how much he meant to her when she almost lost him. Chock had to leaveThe Golden Bachelorettefor a bit when his mother passed away, and Joan didn’t know if he would be able to come back, even though he said that he would. This was because she had to leave Gerry Turner’sGolden Bachelorseason due to a family emergency and didn’t return, so she knew that there were no guarantees.
When Chock did return to Joan onThe Golden Bachelorette, she was ecstatic and relieved. It seemed that, after that, they just wanted to hold on to each other. Pascal’s"stalker"comment definitely seemed to come from a place of jealousy because he never got to that level of connection with Joan.Chock and Joan were meant-to-be, and now they can live happily ever after.
