A ‘Golden Bachelorette’ breakout who really doesn’t like spit reveals which TV host makes him a thirsty little thirstypants

In the latest buzz surrounding *The Golden Bachelorette*, Jonathan Rone is capturing hearts with his charming demeanor and playful personality, especially during his romantic one-on-one date in Episode 3 and the memorable group date in Episode 2, where he was dubbed the “Prom King.” His connection with lead Joan Vassos has viewers intrigued, especially as he opens up about his life in a lighthearted Q&A on the official Bachelor franchise website.

Jonathan shares some revealing tidbits about himself in a fun game of 20 questions. He starts with his pet peeve—spitting, which he finds particularly gross—and then describes his guilty pleasure: long showers accompanied by music. His last meal on earth would be a decadent “turf-and-surf” feast, featuring a perfectly cooked porterhouse steak, lobster tail, and a rich dessert of vanilla bean cheesecake topped with strawberries. This delectable choice certainly makes one drool, despite his aversion to saliva!

He reveals that his biggest inspiration is his late mother, Lola Mae, and he dreams of meeting environmentalist Jane Goodall. Interestingly, he replays *Dances with Wolves* often and enjoys dancing to Lady Gaga’s “LoveGame,” showcasing a playful side to his personality that fans are starting to appreciate.

When it comes to romance, Jonathan expresses his desire for a partner who embodies the same energy as Goldie Hawn, representing #RelationshipGoals with Kurt Russell. This contrasts sharply with fellow contestant Mark Anderson’s aspirations for a relationship like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s. Moreover, Jonathan confesses that his celebrity crush is Heidi Klum, noting Joan’s resemblance to the model with her striking blonde hair and vibrant personality. Fans are left wondering if this means Jonathan and Joan could be the perfect match.

However, there’s a twist: Jonathan’s five-year plan doesn’t include Joan, as he envisions himself in Oakland, focusing on life after his kids graduate from high school. This absence has sparked speculation about his commitment level, leaving viewers to hope it’s simply due to contractual obligations rather than a lack of interest.

As the season unfolds, fans are left on the edge of their seats, eager to see if Jonathan and Joan can forge a lasting connection. New episodes of *The Golden Bachelorette* air every Wednesday on ABC, with streaming available on Hulu or Disney Plus for those without cable. While many root for Jonathan and Joan to find love, the emotional stakes remain high, especially for Charles Ling, who has already faced heartbreak on the show. Whatever happens, the journey promises to be entertaining!
