As fans may know, Mark (spoiler alert!) was recently eliminated from the inaugural season The Golden Bachelor, in which he competed for the heart of Joan Vassos. The military veteran and father-of-four went one-on-one before being sent home in episode 5, where he and Joan spent the day together on a yacht.

Before the date, Mark told the cameras: “I haven’t felt this good in six and a half years. And I feel like I’ve never been more ready in my life. I’m ready to go deep.”

Joan, however, didn’t share the same sentiments, saying that Mark “ticks so many boxes” but she’s “not there yet” in terms of an emotional connection.

“He’s just quiet,” Joan said. “It is very mild. We are kind of formal, almost, with each other.”

On the date, Joan and Mark talked about where they saw their lives going, and Mark talked about his final days with his late wife, Denise, who died of cancer a few years ago.

While Mark said the date was “the best day I’ve ever had in California,” Joan wasn’t on the same page until the end. “There still seems to be something missing,” she said.

The next day, Joan went to see Mark at the mansion to end things for good. “I didn’t see myself in our conversations when we talked and I didn’t feel like I was imagining us… I need someone who is as far along in their journey as I am,” she told him.
