TAHITI, FRENCH POLYNESIA: 'The Golden Bachelorette' star Pascal Ibgui made the unexpected decision to leave Joan Vassosafter their Fantasy Suite date, which was his biggest mistake.

"I know what true love feels like and I don’t feel that for you." His words stung, revealing his insecurities and worries about being rejected. While Pascal felt that Joan wasn’t putting in enough effort, he failed to recognize the truth: she was ready to open her heart to him, and he was potentially letting a once-in-a-lifetime connection slip away. If he had continued the process a little longer and embraced the journey, he could have discovered that love was right within reach. Instead, his decision left Joan shattered, forcing her to grapple with the consequences of his departure.
