Illinois Dad Makes His Picks for The Golden Bachelorette Winner

We are on the brink of the first ever Golden Bachelorette season, are you ready to predict which bachelor Joan ends up with? 

Last fall, the Golden Bachelor landed on our TV screens. We knew it was coming, but we didn't know how much of an impact it would have on the reality TV world.

Sure, scripted television was on a break due to the writers and actors' strikes, but I think The Golden Bachelor would've been successful either way.

While the OG Golden couple got married earlier this year... they already split up and we've all moved on to this fall's golden girl, Joan Vassos.

Joan was a front runner on Gerry's season, but chose to leave the show because of a family emergency. Her daughter had recently had a baby and needed her mom by her side.

Now, Joan is ready to take the lead on her own season with 24 men vying for her heart.

If you're new around here... on Thursday afternoons on 97ZOK I call my dad to get his opinion on what's happening in the world and pop culture.

We really broke down the Golden Bachelor last season, he thought Gerry was annoying... and now he's ready to talk about the new season.

After I sent him this article that lays out each man looking for a rose, my dad sent me his picks.

I didn't expect him to give me a list, and I'm pretty proud. Will Chock, Jonathan, Ken and Thomas be the top four?

If they are, I will be so happy.
