The Bachelor Season 28: Final dates and Meeting the parents
Before the final dates began, Joey acknowledged that he was embarking on “the most important week” of his life and that he was falling in love and could see a future with Daisy and Kelsey. However, as we hear in the trailer, Joey also said, “Although these women have given me nothing but confidence that they will choose me, there is still doubt that they would say yes.” Uh oh…
Joey’s parents Nick and Cathy, his two sisters Carly and Ellie, and his brother-in-law Zach flew to Tulum to support their son and meet his final two ladies. (There’s no Uncle Joe in sight, even though Joey told Jugo Mobile that producers shot footage of them for season 28. Interesting!)
For the first time? Daisy, who received a warm welcome from the Graziadeis, as expected. After she and Joey recounted their sweet, first one-on-one encounter, she opened up about her hearing loss and cochlear implant to the group, tearfully explaining, “Honestly, this whole experience has changed my life and that’s because of him and who.” “. he is. And I know a lot of that is because of the people who love him, so I just want to thank everyone.”
First impressions? “These are two people who really seemed in love with each other,” Ellie said. Daisy sat down and bonded more with Joey’s sisters, she told them about her date in her hometown and assured them that if her brother got down on one knee, she would say yes. “If this is me at the end of this, I promise you that I will choose him and I will choose him every day for the rest of my life,” she said, before sharing how terrified she is that he has stronger feelings for Kelsey. Daisy sat down with Joey’s mom and shared what makes her unique: her resilience and her ability to love big. “He’s worth a lot to me,” Daisy cried. “I would be honored to have you as my daughter-in-law,” Joey’s mother shouted before the two embraced.
Joey walked Daisy out and the two shared a kiss and a reassuring talk before he said goodbye to her. The next step? Kelsey’s moment to meet her parents.
Before Kelsey arrived, Joey described her to her parents as “giddy to the point where she’s so stinking cute,” and that showed immediately when she walked across the room. The Graziadei smiled in Kelsey’s presence. She and Joey took them back in time, from Night 1 and their “Lizzie McGuire moment” to Hometown Week and the death of Kelsey’s mother. Kelsey sat down with Joey’s sisters, expressed how much Joey means to her and “answered all the tough questions.” When asked if she’s ready to get married, Kelsey said she doesn’t have any timeline and that if Joey proposed to her, she “thinks” she’d be ready, a red flag for the sisters. Carly and Ellie told her that Joey Kelsey was amazing, but raised concerns about her hesitancy in about the engagement (and Daisy’s disposition), which made him a little worried.
Kelsey talked to Joey’s father and assured him that she was ready for a future with Joey, then told Joey’s mother that she could see it being them in the end. “I can’t tell you how much this means to me,” Kelsey shouted. “He is very special and has a heart of gold.”
When Kelsey and Joey reconnected after the day, she shared her feelings that even if they didn’t end up together, she feels good knowing how great Daisy would be to him. She told Joey that she loved him before saying goodbye to her and the final one-on-one dates began.
The Bachelor Season 28 Finale: Inpidual Joey Finale Dates With daisy and kelsey
“This is my last date with Daisy or our last date until we get engaged,” Joey said before the two embarked on a spiritual experience in Tulum. Daisy’s nerves were at an all-time high when she began to question the strength of her connection with Joey compared to his with Kelsey. During an emotional moment by the fire, she began to fear that she might not be Joey’s best choice, but she tried to be more positive during the nighttime portion of her date. After Daisy talked about her anxieties and finally told Joey that she was in love with him, he said it meant a lot to hear it. However, it wasn’t the level of validation Daisy needed. She felt that he was being measured and careful in her conversation and ultimately worried that something was “wrong” between them. “If I’m 100% honest, I don’t think it’s me,” she told the cameras after he left.
However, the vibes were immaculate at the start of Joey and Kelsey’s latest one-on-one date. Joey surprised Kelsey with a relaxing spa day where they stripped down to their bathing suits, exfoliated, did some facial masks, and got massages.
“I feel like life with him could be so spectacular. “I could see our future together very clearly,” Kelsey told the camera. Later that night, the two met up to get all their emotions out. “I want you to know how much I love you and how clearly I can see you and me at the end of this, and after this, and 10 years from now,” Kelsey told him.
During Joey and Kelsey’s romantic date, where, for the record, he was acting SO normal, Daisy was back at the hotel “feeling sad and hurt” because she felt like something was “not quite right” during her date with Joey.
When asked how he felt about making his final decision, Joey told his family, “I hate it. I hate him a lot. It’s hard for me to even think about it. “It makes a knot in my stomach, because I know that at the end of the day, whoever I choose, I will be hurting someone.”
The great Bachelor final twist: What happened? The Bachelor?
During the episode “Women Tell All”, Jesse Palmer had Joey physically leave the stage before watching the final trailer because, in Jesse’s words, “it’s so heartbreaking”, he didn’t put Joey in the preview. I’ll never see it coming,” he added of the season 28 finale twist. So what exactly happened? And is it as dramatic as Jesse made it sound? Bachelor Nation may be the judge of that, but there’s no denying that the twists were a first for the franchise.
On the day of the proposal, Daisy and Kelsey put on the dresses and Joey met with franchise icon Neil Lane to pick out a ring, who savagely said, “Hello again.” (Because, well…Charity! Ouch!) But before Daisy headed to the proposal platform, she made an unexpected and unprecedented stop…at KELSEY’S ROOM. The two immediately hugged each other, began to sob, and sat down to chat. The two shared their experiences from the past week and Kelsey said she felt a lot of validation during the nighttime portion of her date. “Our date felt a little out of place. There was something missing between us and there wasn’t any kind of validation or confirmation, so it was hard and it hurt,” Daisy told him.
“It hurts a lot and I shouldn’t feel like this,” Daisy told the cameras. “I know he has to make an impossible decision and I am really worried. I want to be with him and I want a future with him but I still have doubts because I truly believe it’s Kelsey. But I’m not leaving right now. Because what if it isn’t? In ANOTHER twist, Daisy and Kelsey hopped into the same SUV and drove to meet Joey at a franchise for the first time.
Who wonThe Bachelor? Was Joey Graziadei engaged to Kelsey Anderson or Daisy Kent?
Daisy walked first to the proposal platform (usually the telltale sign that someone was heading home) and gave Joey a big hug. He started her rant and praised her and her connection. She echoed her love, emphasizing how much he helped her learn her worth, but she said, “the thing is…you’re not going to choose me.”
“The last few days I realized that you’re not my person… and as much as it hurts, I know you said you wanted the best for me, so I’m going to do what’s best for me and I’m going,” she said through tears. Joey She broke down and told him: “You don’t know how special you are… it hurts so much to know that I have something more special with someone else… this has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. You are unique, truly special and you deserve nothing more than what you are.” better and I wish I could give it to you.” He offered to go with her and, like a tough guy, Daisy said, “I think it’s something I should do on my own… I’m working for you.”
While Joey took a moment to collect himself, Daisy returned to the car and gave Kelsey a big hug. “I know your mom will despise this moment and she will be very happy,” Daisy told him. BRB, SOBBING!
So after all the tears, heartbreak, and drama, did Joey get engaged? Did he break up with someone in The Bachelor? Or is he still single? When Joey returned to the proposal stage, Kelsey joined him in her stunning white dress and everything completely clicked.
“We’ve had the experience of a lifetime,” Joey told him. “I knew from the beginning that there was something different about you, and I just wanted to learn more…all we do is just enjoy each other.”
“There’s nothing hard about choosing you and I can’t wait another moment to tell you that I love you,” Joey continued. “I have known for a long time that I wanted to have a beautiful life, but I didn’t know how beautiful that life could be until I met you.” The season 28 star then got down on one knee, said Kelsey’s FULL name, and proposed. She said yes!
The two cried tears of happiness before Kelsey accepted THE! FINAL! PINK! So what’s next for the newly engaged? AFTER the Rose ending, of course! Stay tuned for more updates and check out the rest of Jugo Mobile’s final coverage here.
