His Instagram followers had TONS to say about his Halloween costume of choice. Some didn’t like the possibility that he was making fun of Joan. Some were in awe of his confidence to rock that type of Halloween costume. Many, however, just thought it was a nod to his future on the show.
One fan penned in a comment on the post: “I am dying! This is too good! You’re so golden!”
In the comments of many of his other posts, fans have tried asking Pascal if he was going to be the next Golden Bachelor. Understandably, he has not responded to any of these comments.
ABC has yet to confirm the next Golden Bachelor. Fans would love to see Pascal take the spot.
Although Pascal’s Halloween costume has fans buzzing, ABC has yet to confirm who the next Golden Bachelor will be. Traditionally, the announcement is made during the After the Final Rose episode, likely airing in mid-November. So, fans still have a few more weeks to find out if Pascal has snagged the lead.
Since Pascal has proven himself as a memorable and charismatic contestant, it’s no surprise fans are vocal about wanting him to take on the role. His kind-hearted nature, humor, and openness with Joan have definitely made him a fan favorite.
Furthermore, fans think his personality as a lead would be entertaining to watch. If his Halloween costume was indeed a hint, Pascal may soon be turning that rose into reality as the next Golden Bachelor.
