But at the insistence of his children and with the approval of his doctor, the 65-year-old retired bank CEO went ahead with the show.

“What could have been a really bad, difficult year turned out to be a great year because we included this amazing experience,” Michael said. “And I’ll be fine. He was caught early. And I just want to thank this great group of guys and I want to thank Joan because I’m really grateful for this experience. It just came at the right time for me.”

CHARLES L. KING

After Mark and Jonathan – who later revealed he met someone special – entered the hot seat with the host Jesse Palmerit was Charles L.’s turn. First, he answered what it was like to become a “pop culture icon,” as Jesse, 46, put it.

“It’s a surprise. I’m excited,” said Charles L., 66.

Jesse also asked Charles L. about how his hair went from gray to black. “I think it’s because of the food I ate while I was away,” joked the retired financial analyst.

Charles L. also offered another revelation. “I’ve never been on TV before and Jesse, if you don’t mind, I didn’t even really know your name before,” he said. “Don’t be hard on me, you know.”

Jesse replied, “Just because you’re a celebrity now, I’ll let it go.”

On a more serious note, Charles L. told Jesse that he feels ready to date again.

“I was worried, I don’t know what my daughters would think of me dating again,” said Charles L.. “That’s really, really (a) concern (for) me, and also I wasn’t sure what my relatives would think of me because of my cultural background. But the support I got, the love I got from my daughter and my families and relatives, that worry disappeared. So I would use the world, my body is lighter than before and I hope, you know, one day to meet that lucky one.”

From the studio audience, a woman called out to Charles L., “We think you should be our next one Gold graduate!”

PASCAL He’s tearing down his walls

Before Pascal took the hot seat, the Gay Men’s Choir of Los Angeles sang the song Mansion Men that Gil wrote.

Then Pascal, 69, reflected on his choice to come out before entering the Fantasy Suite with Joan. “It was a very difficult decision I had to make,” he said. “I felt like with more time I could have been there, but I wasn’t at the time.”

The salon owner added that he hoped he had “done no harm” to 61-year-old Joan. “That was not my intention,” Pascal said. “And she’s a very wonderful woman and you know, now I look and see her saying that she’s unlovable – she’s totally wrong. I think she is worthy of love, I just wasn’t able to give her what she was looking for at the time. I was too guarded.”

Pascal felt that his time with Joan helped him realize “where I am now”. “I’m ready to knock down my walls,” he said.

As Joan walked out on stage, Pascal told her: “You’re an incredible woman and I hope that by the time I’m gone, you’ve found the right person for you.”

The mother of four confessed that she saw a future with Pascal. “I envisioned a life with you, and I know that Tahitian bonding ceremony was very uncomfortable for you, and I thought maybe in the Fantasy Apartments we could have figured something out both ways, but you- you already decided You have been very kind and I only want the best for you. I want you to be happy.”

Joan continued to tell her other exes that she wanted to “have a friendship” with all of them.

She also teased how her season ended with only Chock and Guy left in the running for her heart. “It was emotional and there were a lot of tears,” she said during Men Tell All. “But I will tell you some of them are tears of joy.”
