Joan Vassos has not announced the man who won her heart on The Golden Bachelorette just yet. As the finale grows closer, we can’t help but look at her eliminated contestants and see some potential pairings with the ladies who Gerry Turner turned down during his season of The Golden Bachelor. We think these Bachelor Nation contestants would make great golden couples.

Jordan and Leslie have a lot in common, and they’ve already been in contact

Jordan Heller and Leslie Fhima were heartbroken when booted from their respective dating competitions. Both put themselves out there, hoping to find love. They might be better fits for each other than the leads they competed for, though.

Jordan and Leslie are in the same geographical location, have young-at-heart spirits, share the same faith, and enjoy the same activities. They don’t need us to push them together, though. Jordan already took the initiative and invited Leslie out to a soccer game. She accepted, and while they aren’t dating yet, it could happen.

Gary and Ellen could cut up the dance floor together

Gary Levingston was eliminated during week 4 of The Golden Bachelorette, but it wasn’t because he didn’t play the game. In fact, Joan seemed to enjoy Gary’s company a lot. Still, the pair didn’t appear to have much sexual chemistry. That doesn’t mean the sparks wouldn’t fly between Gary and another The Golden Bachelor alum.

If we had to pick a love interest for Levingston, we’d pair him up with retired teacher Ellen Goltzer. Ellen and Gary have the same kind and caring spirits. They were wonderful additions to their respective casts but lacked some dating confidence. The duo both like to dance, although Ellen claims she has “two left feet.” We could see this pair cutting up the dance floor and laughing together.

Faith and Guy both enjoy the outdoors

Joan Vassos still has time to choose between Guy Gansert and Chock Chapple. While Guy and Joan are a good match, he might be better suited for another The Golden Bachelor contestant. We think Gansert and Faith Martin, who finished third on The Golden Bachelor, would make a solid golden couple.

Faith and Guy are both relatively quiet and laid-back people. They seem introspective and careful with their words. The potential duo also loves the outdoors. We can envision the pair getting along well and enjoying nature together.

Susan and Jack have similiar personas

Susan Noles was a fan favorite during her time on The Golden Bachelor. Jack Lencioni didn’t last long on The Golden Bachelorette, but fans of the series instantly liked his commentary on the mansion. Many viewers were bummed when Jack was sent home during week two. Thankfully, he hasn’t shied away from the spotlight since his short-lived appearance.

That brings us to why we think he and Susan Noles would get along well. Both Jack and Susan have outgoing, boisterous personalities that beg to be in the spotlight. The two extroverts could have a lot of fun together, traveling and commenting on the goings-on in Bachelor Nation. Jack admitted he’d be open to appearing on a Golden Bachelor in Paradise season if it were to happen. Perhaps he can meet Susan there? We think she’d be game, too.
