Our Take On Joan Vassos’ WWHL Appearance As Guest Bartender
Joan Wants To Make A Difference
Joan’s appearance onWWHLis notablefor a few reasons. First of all, she is affiliated with ABC, since that is the network that airsThe Golden Bachelorette. We don’t seeBachelorNation stars mingling with “Bravolebrities” very often, so it was cool to see Joan and the women fromThe Valleyhanging out. To cross over to another network is admirable, since Joan’s appearance is to raise money for charity.
Joan’s media appearances will help raise the profile of the charitywalk she’s promoting. Any attention given to charities like PanCan is good attention in today’s media landscape, where there is so much content and publicity that can be given to the charity.Joan’s using her spotlightto shine a light on a great cause, andThe Golden Bachelorettestar got to have a little fun at the same time.
