A Spoilery Deep Dive on Pascal From 'Golden Bach'Gilles Mingasson

Personally, we are obsessed with all the distinguished gentlemen vying for Joan Vassos's heart on The Golden Bachelorette. But we're here to discuss Pascal Ibgui, man who sleeps in the nude, has no idea how to cook for himself, and has inexplicably convinced other people to do his laundry. All things he has in common with a literal baby (me), yet they somehow make him one of this season's most endearing silver foxes. Can't explain it, but there's just something relatable about watching this man say "I don't like to cook, I don't like to clean, and I don't like to do laundry."

Joan and Pascal already went on one cute date and we have a feeling more are in their future—so here's a full deep dive on this man. (Plus some surprisingly dramatic spoilers on precisely how far Pascal makes it.)

Pascal Is From France (in Case the Accent Wasn't a Giveaway)

While 69-year-old Pascal currently lives in Chicago, he is originally from Paris! Pascal moved to the U.S. when he was pretty young, and these days he operates a successful business, owns a "beautiful home," and drives a luxury car. But life wasn't always so cushy. Pascal told Joan about his tough childhood in France, where money was "always an issue" and his parents offered little in the way of love or support.

Fortunately, he's doing great now (minus having little-to-no ability to fold his own clothes).

He Owns a Beauty Salon

Pascal informed everyone in his intro that he feels "very comfortable with women" (he's nothing if not humble!), and business is clearly booming. Would honestly pay him to do my hair.

He Has Kids, and They're Close

Pascal is a "very proud father and grandfather whose family is his pride and joy." In fact, he showed Joan a sweet note from his son during their first sit-down together and it was all just very sweet.

Pascal Wants to Find His Soulmate

Per ABC, "Pascal is French, so being romantic is in his blood, and he’s hoping to meet a woman who is passionate, full of life and intelligent. Pascal is ready to start the next chapter, and now he just needs to find the right woman to stand by his side."

Sounds great, but I honestly just need to copy down the puns ABC's bio writer wrote real quick, because they've TRULY outdone themselves:

"Pascal is ready to say, 'Eiffel in love!'"

"Oui are rooting for you, Pascal!"

His Fun Facts Are Exactly What You'd Expect

On top of loving the theater, going out to eat, and going to concerts, Pascal also notes he “makes great reservations!,” used to play tennis, and wanted to be a fashion designer.

So how far does Pascal make it with Joan?

SPOILERS AHEAD!

According to professional sleuth Reality Steve, Pascal makes it to hometown dates...

But in a surprising twist, he reportedly self-eliminates shortly after realizing he's not in love with Joan. We'll see how this plays out but...it sounds dramatic!
