Soon after, Joan went to Guy's hotel room and poured her heart out to him. "I'm here to tell you that my heart belongs to somebody else. And I care about you so, so, so, so much and I know we talked about being seen, and I want you to know that I saw you at every rose ceremony, I saw you at every date. I care so much about you, I just my heart belongs to somebody else now," she said.

The reality TV star continued: "And instead of putting you through meeting my family and showing up on the last day, I wanted to spare you all of that because I care so much about you. I’m so sorry, I didn’t want to hurt you. I swear I didn’t.”
