‘Golden Bachelor’s’ Sandra, Susan, & Leslie Share How They Really Feel Joey Has Handled Being the Bachelor
Keeping it real.
Bachelor Nation fans saw Sandra, Susan, and Leslie from “The Golden Bachelor” appear on this week’s episode of “The Bachelor.”
The ladies provided words of wisdom to Joey Graziadei’s final three women ahead of their Fantasy Suite dates.
Now Sandra, Susan, and Leslie stopped by the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast for an exclusive chat with co-hosts Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt about the season.
They shared their thoughts on how they feel Joey has been handling this season, and they didn’t hold back.
Susan started off, saying, “He might be voted one of the best Bachelors ever. He is pretty even keeled, he is so adorable and heartfelt, he is just a good guy, and you can tell. I was a little concerned with his fears, but that’s from what he went through with Charity, so you can't really blame him.”
She went on, adding, “With Maria, I thought he had so much fun with her and when she said she almost left that night, that was her own insecurities. It’s hard when you get down to a few, you get jealous knowing what he’s doing with the others. But I think Joey is doing a hell of a job, I do. I just hope he’s totally happy and he picked the right one for him.”
The co-hosts asked Leslie what she thought as someone who’s been in one of those final spots on the show.
Leslie got candid, saying, “I think Joey has been a complete stand up guy. He didn’t throw around feelings, which was great. He showed his feelings through his eyes and other ways. You could feel him falling in love with the women – the final three and Maria too."
She continued, saying, “He has been hurt, so he knew exactly what to say and what not to say. Plus, I think he just has a heart of gold and he just wants so badly to find that person for him. Like Susan, I hope that he picked the perfect person for him because he is just a wonderful person. The respect that all the girls have for him really speaks volumes about who he is.”
Meanwhile, Sandra can’t get enough of Joey! She is as in love with him as the rest of Bachelor Nation.
Sandra chimed in, saying, “First of all, every time I see him, I just want to pinch his cheeks. He’s a little cutie! He’s the kind of guy that you’d want your daughters to date. Bring him home to mama. He is such a little cutie pie.”
And on a more serious note, she said, “I also think he held his own. He has done very well. He is a sharp young man. He is handsome for sure! But every time one of the ladies would express that they are falling for him, he didn’t respond with those same words, but you could see that his eyes lit up and his pearly whites would come through and he would light up.”
We love hearing from our Golden gals! Check out their full episode of “Bachelor Happy Hour” below.
