00:00Hey, I'm Joan.
00:04I am the first Golden Bachelorette.
00:05Get ready with me for my photo shoot.
00:07I love this song.
00:10Isn't it great?
00:11I was actually on the first season of The Golden Bachelor, and I went there because
00:16I had been widowed for two years at the time.
00:20My husband passed away from pancreatic cancer, and I kept thinking, you know, I loved being
00:25part of a couple, but I really wasn't sure I was ready to start dating.
00:29I had a great time, but my journey was cut really, really short.
00:32I felt like I left stuff on the table.
00:34And so when The Bachelor people said that I was being considered for The Golden Bachelorette,
00:39I jumped on it.
00:40I was so excited that they even, like, thought of me because I left so early.
00:43Are you excited?
00:44Yeah, I can't wait.
00:45There was a part of me that felt like maybe I was selfish looking for a second love at
00:49this age.
00:50But after being on The Golden Bachelor, I saw all these wonderful women that I loved
00:54and respected, and they didn't feel embarrassed about it.
00:56When the show was over, we got so much positive feedback.
01:00Joan, you're so cute!
01:02Thanks to you!
01:03I'm excited and nervous about night one.
01:05I finally get to meet all these men.
01:07I'm very worried I'm not going to remember their names, but I love that I am the first
01:11Golden Bachelorette.
01:12I want to make this journey look really fun for all the people that are in the same position
01:17as me, and hope that it makes them want to go out and date and find love, too.
01:26I love you.
