The 66-year-old retired ER doctor recently made it clear he would no longer be searching for love on TV.

It didn’t go well for him the first time around.

Guy was among the 24 singleGoldenmen who traveled to the iconicBachelormansion to date Joan Vassos, 62.

As Joan’s runner-up, Guy would have been a natural choice.

He was one of my personal favorites for the role.

For a while, itseemed like he was even angling for the role by posting more oftenon social media.

To me, it sounded like a family drama more than a comment on Guy’s character.

Guy’s caption reads, “I HAVE FOUND MY PERSON.”

Now that Guy is out of the picture, the shortlist of potentialGoldenleads just got even shorter.
