Here’s why The Golden Bachelorette viewers are comparing Chock Chapple to Devin Strader

Chock Chapple may be one of Joan Vassos’ favorite men this season but he’s not winning over The Golden Bachelorette viewers.

He’s not a favorite among the other men that are left on the show, either.

That’s because he’s been hogging Joan’s time and attention at times when she should be focused on a group of men and not just him.

During the most recent episode, it was very obvious when the men were bowling and doing their bonding and Chock was sitting next to Joan with his arm protectively around her.

Joan was snuggled up close to him in a way that none of the other men could get close to her, making it look like they were a couple and everyone else was basically just a third wheel.

The remaining men confronted Chock about it when it was Joan’s turn to get up and bowl but he didn’t really seem to care what they thought or if they deserved a chance to bond with The Golden Bachelorette star.

The move made viewers think of Devin Strader, who acted similarly with Jenn Tran on The Bachelorette and we’re hoping it’s not a sign.

Chock Chapple compared to Devin Strader

Chock’s group date behavior had The Golden Bachelorette viewers talking and some thought that maybe what happened was all a part of the production’s plan.

One even asked, “Why is Chock getting the Devin edit???”

Another declared, “Chock is starting to get on my nerves.”

Yet another thought he was acting “a wee bit desperate.”

To be fair… Joan may have been giving Chock a little bit of extra time as consolation. After all, his mother had just passed away and he had to leave to bury her just the week before.

Of course, that wouldn’t excuse the crass way he asked her if he could “just take her home” and which side of the bed she slept on during the group date. That seemed to surprise and offend some viewers more than it did Joan.

One X user even thought Joan made the wrong decision keeping Chock at the rose ceremony even though sending him home right after he returned for her does seem a bit cold-hearted.

They wrote, “All I have to say is this: IMO, Chock is creepy, obsessive and possessive. She made a big mistake. She should have chosen Jonathan or Keith in his place..”

We already miss Jonathan, though, so maybe they have a point.

The Golden Bachelorette airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c on ABC.

I agree about Chock. He knew his Mother was going to die but choose to stay at the Bachelor house until after she died. Not very kind or supportive to the mother or defiantly. the father. He left and returned to the Bachelor as fast as he could. Watch out Joan. He will always be first and will be jealous of your children and grandchildren.
