GOLDEN Bachelorette fans will find out why Pascal Ibgui storms off set in tonight’s Fantasy Suits episode.
In a teaser for the episode due to air tonight (October 30), things appear to get heated when one suitor vying for The Golden Bachelorette’s heart storms off-set.
Joan Vassos is the very first Golden Bachelorette, with her having whittled the hopeful suitors down to just three.
The 61-year-old is a former contestant on Gerry Turner’s season of The Golden Bachelor, with her unsuccessful in his series and hoping to become engaged at the end of her very own season.
After weeks of dates, Joan has narrowed down the possible love interests down to just three men who are keen to win her over.
The top three suitors for Joan are Chock Chapple, Guy Gansert, and Pascal Ibgui.
In a preview from tonight’s episode, Pascal seems to storm off, with some fans branding him “too high maintenance” as he scolds the cameraman.
During the Fantasy Suites episode, things appear to get heated when Pascal fumes at the camera crew and orders them to “go away”.
Pascal can be heard saying that he “knows” Joan “is not okay” before being asked in a confessional if he is okay. He then replies, “No, I’m not okay”.
Then, as he comforts Joan, he says “get away” to the cameraman, before adding, “go, go!”.
Fantasy Suites is a staple segment of the Bachelor and Bachelorette franchises that sees the Bachelor or Bachelorette spend an overnight date with each three final contestants.
It’s unclear why Pascal is storming off in the short clip, but fans will find out the reason tonight on ABC or Hulu at 8/7c.
Reacting to the clip shared on the Instagram page for the show, one fan said, “Pascal is too [high] maintenance,” before adding that “Chock is clingy and needy” and Joan is “not emotionally ready”.
Another then brutally wrote, “Pascal only loves himself.”
“I think Pascal is the best,” added a third.
While a fourth positively penned, “I’m hopeful that there is an engagement at the end.”

‘SEX OFF THE TABLE’
This comes after Joan “took sex off the table” at the Fantasy Suites, with her defending her controversial decision earlier this month.
“I’m not a person who can have a physical relationship with more than one person,” she told Us Weekly on October 16.
Instead of getting physically intimate with her suitors during the overnight dates, Joan said she wanted to focus on “emotional intimacy”.
She told the publication, “I wanted it to be agreed that we would talk and have the conversations we need to have off-camera. We didn’t spend the night together.
“There was no bed in the room.”
JOAN’S FIRST GOLDEN STINT
Joan is from Rockland and has a Bachelor’s Degree in computer science from the University of Maryland.
For her day job, Joan works in alumni relations at the Landon School in her home state and has carried out this job since 2021.
Joan shot to fame during the first-ever season of the senior dating show that starred Gerry Turner as the inaugural Golden Bachelor.
Deciding to leave during week three, Joan said on Instagram last October, “My journey to find love took a detour this week as I traded the mansion for motherhood and headed home to be with my family.
“Family comes first, period. Once a mother, always a mother, I’ll always choose my kids first.
“Thank you for all of your outpouring [of] love and support, for not only me but also my daughter – everyone is now healthy and happy!
“As for me and my journey to love… guess we will have to see where it takes me next. Until then, stay golden,” she concluded.
