Joan Vassos carried out "the hardest thing I’ve done" on the Oct. 16 episode of 'The Golden Bachelorette' by dismissing one fan-favorite suitor.

We love insider gossip in this newsletter, so this week, I reached out to the person who hears it all: Sarah Hearon from Us Weekly. She’s interviewed countless Bachelor/ettes (including, most recently, Joan).

Keith doesn’t have to mull over his blunder last week for long, as he gets the first one-on-one of the week. He meets Joan for a helicopter ride, and the pair go on a sightseeing tour, even flying right over the mansion. In a confessional, Joan says she’s hoping to see a little more depth from Keith on this date.
