Pascal Ibgui has revealed what he really thinks of Joan Vassos' The Golden Bachelorette frontrunner Charles "Chock" Chapple -- and he's not holding back.

While most of Joan's bachelors appeared to become best friends in the mansion, Chock ruffled feathers by monopolizing Joan's time during a bowling group date.

Guy Gansert even asked the 60-year-old insurance executive to let the other guys have time with The Golden Bachelorette star, but Chock didn't seem to care because Joan was his focus.
When asked about Chock rubbing some of the guys the wrong way, Pascal threw shade at the bachelor by telling Glamour, "Chock was all over her to the point where he was [like a] stalker."

Pascal apparently couldn't believe that Chock had developed such strong feelings for Joan so quickly.
"Oh my god, let's just be realistic. We are mature men. We've been through some marriage, some divorce. We had our struggles and our pain and anxiety, and it's not that easy to say, 'I'm in love,'" Pascal reasoned.
Not only did Chock say that he was "crazy" about Joan, but he told The Golden Bachelorette star that he was "falling in love" with her during his hometown date in Kansas.
"I mean, it was like, 'I love you, let's leave. Let's do this, let's do that,'" Pascal recalled of Chock's intense approach to dating Joan on the show.
"And [Chock asked], 'Which side of the bed are you sleeping on?' It's bizarre behavior. I don't know."

Pascal continued to poke fun at Chock by sharing, "[Chock was like], 'I can't wait to be with you. I feel my love with you.' Maybe in Wichita there is no women. I don't know."
Pascal said it was actually "inappropriate" for Chock to ask Joan about her sleeping arrangement in front of other guys -- who were clearly listening to the pair's conversation -- during the bowling group date.
"As he walked in, he said, 'Let's leave here. Let's get out of here.' And then hovering over her during the bowling. I think, to me, everybody felt uncomfortable," Pascal recalled.
"I think [Jordan Heller] said, 'Hey, put the break on,' and [Jonathan Rone] said, 'What are you doing?'"
Pascal concluded, "I mean, Joan is smart enough to understand and figure it out by herself."

Joan reacted to Chock's "aggressive" approach to woo -- and hopefully win her heart -- during a recent appearance on "The Viall Files" podcast.
"Over the years, I do notice about certain The Bachelor series or journeys, is that every once in a while, one guy or one girl pops out that is just more aggressive -- just tries a little harder to have random interactions," Joan told former The Bachelor star Nick Viall.
"You see them every once in a while, that they came there for a reason... and I think it's evident that Chock is one of those people."
Joan said it was probably just a "bonus" for Chock to make friends on the show.

Joan also shared how she felt a connection with Chock right off the bat.
"Every once in a while, one would roll in and I was like, 'Ohh, he's good. I like that one,' or, 'I could see a life with that one. He's good looking and I'm attracted to him,'" Joan recalled.
"And Chock was one of those people. I immediately loved what he did. The Chock-O-Noodle soup was hilarious."
Joan said Chock's entrance involving food was "such a good thing to do" because he had made an effort to figure out who she is and "what's important" to her.
"Cooking, for me, is all about my family... I do a Sunday-night dinner every single Sunday night," Joan said.
Joan explained how Chock knew that about her, and that he also knew the names of all four of her children when they first met.
"Some people might call that creepy, but some people, like me, thought, 'Wow, he is really interested,'" Joan noted.

The Golden Bachelorette host Jesse Palmer recently told Us Weekly how there was an obvious "chemistry" between Chock and Joan.
"Chock was someone right away, when I was talking to him off camera, [I could tell] he's a man's man and he is an alpha -- that's just kind of how I put it," Jesse shared.
Jesse added how Chock is "a leader of men."

"[He's] someone who's wildly successful professionally and also has a really touching and unique personal story to him as well," Jesse said.
And Joan told Us earlier this month that Chock reminded her of her late husband, John Vassos, who died from pancreatic cancer in 2021. Joan called Chock "a fixer," just like John, who was able to make her feel safe.
