Another dramatic season of “The Bachelor” wrapped up with Joey Graziadei as this season’s bachelor. Graziadei is a pro tennis coach out of Hawaii. After being the runner-up on the last season with Charity Lawson, he quickly grew to become a fan favorite: he’s even been called “the best Bachelor” of all-time.
Joey’s season premiered back in January where he met 32 women at the Bachelor Mansion in Los Angeles. Some favorites were Daisy, who grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Minnesota. She later shares her story of getting sick and losing her hearing which led to getting a cochlear implant to help her hear again. Another favorite was Maria who had an energetic fiery personality. People fell in love with her and her relationship with Joey. Kelsey shared her story of losing her mom and getting through big milestones without her mom.
Before the final rose, Daisy and Kelsey met Joey’s family. Daisy expressed how much Joey changed her life and gave her more confidence about herself. Daisy told Joey’s whole family he was in love with him and if he proposed she’d say yes, then after anytime she spoke about him it was always what she learned and how she would take that with her in the future, this was all for shadowing for the season.
The ending was one of the more unprecedented endings in Bachelor’s history. The final two women were Daisy and Kelsey and they were two favorites throughout the whole season for their bubbly and kind personalities. What was so different this season was after Joey’s final date with the two of them Daisy was having a lot of doubt and not feeling reassured in her relationship with Joey. She decided to go talk to Kelsey about how she felt revealing she knew he was going to pick Kelsey. The two of them rode together to the final rose which has never happened before. Daisy went first expressing she knew she wasn’t the one and had a heartbreaking exit.
Next thing to look forward to in the Bachelor world is the next Bachelorette. Jenn Tran has been announced as the next Bachelorette making history as the first Asian-American lead in Bachelor history.
