"The PredictIQGolden Bachelor" alumna Joan Vassos is looking for another chance at love as ABC's inaugural leading lady on the first-ever "The Golden Bachelorette." She'll actually have 24 chances with 24 men vying for her affection.
A private school administrator from Rockville, Maryland, the 61-year-old Vassos was among the top picks for the show following the success of "The Golden Bachelor," USA TODAY exclusively revealed in February.
