Joan Vassos says Martha Stewart shouldn’t count on men from The Golden Bachelor.
During the performance at Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen On Oct. 22, the lifestyle expert, 83, turned down an opportunity to appear on the ABC dating show because she wasn’t impressed with the male contestants.
Host Andy Cohen asked Stewart if she could be talked into joining the show for $1 million an episode, to which she shook her head. She replied, “No, boys aren’t hot enough.”
Her friend Snoop Dogg chimed in: “It’s not about the money, it’s about how hot the boys are.”

Vassos, 61, later revealed Access to Hollywood that she DMed Stewart after criticizing her suitors.
“I did, and I said, ‘Okay, dating is tough out there and I had a great group of guys,'” she said. “She doesn’t know them like I do. I got to know their insides as well as their outsides. And they are both wonderful.”
Access to Hollywood presenter Lauren Herbert and her 78-year-old grandmother Linda Vandergeest commented at the time that she had a “good group of boys”.

Vassos responded: “The team did a great job casting them because even before I met them, I loved what they were about and their stories and backstory are also beautiful. I mean, they’re there for a reason.”
“When they got out of the limo that first night and walked towards me, each of them did something memorable and made me want to get to know them better,” she added. I guess Martha didn’t look or didn’t see what I saw in them, and maybe you have to be personal, I don’t know.”
She concluded by calling her group of suitors “special boys.”
