‘Golden Bachelorette’ Suitor Is ‘Below Deck’ Star’s Lookalike
Is a Bravo star wooing Joan Vassos on the first-ever season of The Golden Bachelorette? That’s what some viewers were wondering after one suitor was the doppelganger of a popular Below Deck star. Keep reading to see the comparison.
Golden Bachelor Lookalikes
Joan Vassos was a contestant on Season 1 of The Golden Bachelor. Two of Gerry Turner’s contestants were mistaken for reality stars from the Kardashians. Susan Noles could have been Kardashian/Jenner family matriarch, Kris Jenner. Another contestant, Kathy Swarts, was a lookalike for Caitlyn Jenner. Kathy and Susan became best friends, possibly from bonding over the constant mistaken identities.
In a Hulu crossover moment, Gerry Turner actually got to meet the real Kris Jenner. The reality show that made the Kardashian a household name ended on the E! network in 2021. They debuted a new show, simply titled The Kardashians on Hulu the next year. Season 6 of the Hulu show will air in early 2025.
Neither Susan, Kathy and Joan found love with Gerry Turner. But Joan is getting another chance at finding her second love of her life as the first Golden Bachelorette. Susan, and possibly Kathy, will appear during the season to support Joan. They were also among several ladies from The Golden Bachelor to wish Joan Vassos luck on her journey on the ABC dating show.
Golden Bachelorette Suitor Is Below Deck Star’s Lookalike
One of Joan Vassos’ 24 suitors showed up at the Bachelor mansion in Navy blues. Or Navy whites, rather. Retired U.S. Navy captain, Kim Buike came dressed in his Navy uniform, causing many viewers to do a double take.
The former military officer looks a lot like a favorite Bravolebrity: Below Deck star Captain Lee. The reality star confirmed earlier this year that he was fired from the Bravo show after ten seasons. However, he got his own Peacock spinoff, Deadly Waters With Captain Lee. Season 1 is now streaming. It has yet to be renewed for another season.

Joan Vassos did, however, renew Captain Kim by giving him a rose. Fans will have to keep watching to see if he connects with Joan Vassos. Many fans think her show won’t end happily because of her refusal to move.
Viewers took to Twitter to share their reaction to the Captain Lee lookalike. One fan wrote, “Captain Lee would sail a boat into the SUN before willing being on the bachelor.”
