The 28-year-old tennis professional despatched Jenn and Kelsey T. packing in the course of the Monday, February 26, episode of The Bachelor. Each girls seemed to be shocked to exit, with Jenn making huge strikes in the course of the group date — making out with Joey in entrance of the opposite girls as he tried to movie an interview. Kelsey T., in the meantime, had a profitable first one-on-one simply final week and even coined a nickname for our lead, referring to him as JoJo all through the February 19 episode.

So I’ve heard it earlier than. By no means heard it from a woman earlier than, however that’s Kelsey T.”
Whereas “JoJo” mentioned goodbye to Kelsey T. and Jenn, he’s set to fulfill 4 households throughout hometown dates on Monday, March 4. Joey’s ultimate 4 is formally Daisy, Kelsey A., Maria and Rachel, with Daisy and Kelsey A. scoring their roses throughout one-on-one dates this week.
Preserve studying for breakdown of his connections with Daisy, Kelsey A., Maria and Rachel:
Daisy Kent
Us dropped three causes Daisy may very well be the one to win Joey’s coronary heart earlier this month, citing her insane Instagram attain, producers together with no less than one cute second between Joey and Daisy throughout each episode and her latest TikTok about attempting to give attention to the emotions she had whereas filming the present as it may be laborious to observe again.
Throughout this week’s episode, nevertheless, Daisy made it clear that she wasn’t in love with Joey — but. Whereas he appeared disenchanted when she defined that she wasn’t fairly able to drop the L-word, Joey started lovingly taking a look at Daisy once more when she mentioned she might “get there” with him quickly.
The Bachelor appeared to tug out all of the stops for Joey and Daisy this week, with the twosome horseback driving, ice skating and having fun with time in a randomly-placed sizzling tub all throughout one one-on-one. The Hallmark-like music that performed on and off all through their date may be a sign that Daisy will get the ultimate rose.
Disney/Richard Middlesworth Ever since Daisy Kent walked out of the limo throughout season 28 of The Bachelor, she caught the attention of Bachelor Nation — and lead Joey Graziadei himself. Through the first episode, Daisy shared she grew up on a Christmas tree farm — which she introduced a style of to the Bachelor Mansion. […]
Whereas Daisy didn’t safe any group date roses, she has been the first identify Joey known as out at a rose ceremony and acquired two one-on-one dates.
When requested about his emotions for Daisy, Joey tried to play coy. “I feel everybody’s seen the place the emotions are at this level, and if she does proceed to maneuver ahead, I feel you’ll be capable of see that too,” he mentioned. “Daisy’s a really candy and type one that I feel that we linked actually early on, and that’s what individuals have seen.”
Kelsey Anderson
Kelsey A. has turn into the darkish horse of the season. After snagging the group date rose at week 2’s expertise present, she didn’t get a one-on-one date till week 5. Joey clearly loved his time along with her in Malta, nevertheless, as Kelsey A. received a coveted second one-on-one date this week.
Whereas he’s nonetheless making eyes at Daisy, Joey made it clear he has emotions for Kelsey A. in the course of the previous two episodes — and she or he hasn’t hesitated to share that she’s formally “falling” for him. Throughout week 6, Joey even advised Kelsey A. that he has “zero doubts about us,” which is a variety of validation to obtain from a lead. (When Jess revealed the same sentiment in the identical episode, he despatched her packing.) And through week 7, Kelsey made positive to ask Joey about his household — one thing we haven’t seen from the opposite girls.
One other sturdy level to be made for Kelsey A. is a potential spoiler. (Contemplate this your warning.) Whereas not utterly based, some followers are satisfied that Joey and Kelsey A. have posted images with comparable backdrops on social media, probably at a “joyful couple” weekend. When requested concerning the hypothesis, Joey smiled.
“Clearly, something that comes out like that, I can’t actually converse on it. I do know persons are actually attempting to determine what’s happening,” he advised Us final week. “Yeah, I can’t converse to something that’s despatched as a result of it’s probably not one thing that I’m listening to.”
Maria Georgas
For lack of a greater phrase, Maria has been on a JOURNEY this season. For the reason that premiere, she has been a contestant to observe as she declared she wasn’t going to kiss Joey as a result of he kissed too many different girls. After speaking to him for about 30 seconds, nevertheless, the pair had been packing on the PDA. Whereas it appeared she was being set as much as be a villain after she was accused of discounting Madina’s insecurities about her age, Maria got here out on prime regardless of Sydney and Lea each attempting to tackle Madina’s struggle and get Joey to activate her.
“I didn’t get to see the group settings. I feel that Maria can typically be misunderstood,” Joey advised Us. “I get that she defined that herself — that she’s a bit tough across the edges and was shocked that she didn’t get together with a variety of the ladies in the home.”
Maria went from a two-on-one with Sydney in week 4 to getting the group date rose in week 5 to scoring a one-on-one in week 6. She subsequently admitted to “falling” for Joey in methods she “didn’t anticipate.”
Not each couple survives the fact TV curse, particularly in Bachelor Nation. Nonetheless, that doesn’t change the truth that the franchise is likely one of the hottest actuality exhibits on TV. When The Bachelor first debuted in 2005, not even then-host Chris Harrison would have predicted that it will end in six completely different spinoffs: The […]
One fascinating be aware about Maria’s probabilities is that, in line with @BachelorData on Instagram, there has by no means been a Bachelor contestant who has gone on a 2-on-1 date and gained the present. Nonetheless, the contestant who has scored the coveted purchasing date (which Maria did in week 6) has ended up on the ultimate rose ceremony a number of occasions. Examples embody Susie Evans, Rachael Kirkconnell and Becca Kufrin. (Granted solely a kind of relationships continues to be going sturdy, however that’s not the purpose.)
Whereas Maria has turn into an surprising fan favourite, she appeared to harm her probabilities with Joey by expressing her doubts concerning the course of throughout week 7. She scored the rose, however the harm could have been performed as her risk to depart didn’t work the wonders on Joey she seemingly thought it will.
Rachel Nance
Rachel is seemingly at a drawback as she’s had the least one-on-one time with Joey, however Us can’t rely her out. On paper, Joey and Rachel seem like a superb match as Rachel is from Honolulu and Joey at the moment residing in Kauai. Whereas the twosome have proven chemistry on group dates (most notably at week 2’s wedding ceremony date), she hasn’t acquired any group date roses. (Necessary to notice that season 17 Bachelor winner Catherine Lowe additionally by no means received a bunch date rose and continues to be married to Sean.)
Rachel had her one-on-one date in week 5, getting candid with Joey about how her dedication to her job as an ICU nurse has had an influence on her previous relationships.
Joey made it clear that he supported Rachel’s profession and appeared thrilled when she in contrast him to her father. Throughout week 7, Joey was positive to applaud Rachel when she took on the lumberjill problem — even chugging milk regardless of having a lactose intolerance. Nonetheless, it doesn’t fare nicely for Rachel or Maria that Joey opted to not give out a bunch date rose this week, hinting that his connections with the six girls who weren’t Daisy or Kelsey A. had been a bit weaker.
A wild stat by @BachelorData additionally places a damper on Rachel’s probabilities as traditionally, girls who get fireworks on their date not often win. The one exception since 2011 is Rachael, who additionally had the aforementioned purchasing date. (Again in 2021, it was laborious to argue that Matt James was even contemplating choosing anybody else.)
The Bachelor airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
