Your support makes all the difference.The Bachelor season 28, starring former Bachelorette contestant Joey Graziadei, made history as it welcomed 32 women to the mansion – the most of any season.
Following the season premiere on 22 January, however, that number has quickly declined.
“I’m looking for someone that’s just themselves. Someone that challenges me. Someone to do life with,” Joey told The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer during The Bachelorette finale.
In a teaser, ahead of The Bachelor’s season debut, Joey added: “I’m lucky to meet so many amazing women. And I hope they feel lucky to meet me.”

The new season comes on the heels of the wildly successful Golden Bachelor spin-off, which saw the franchise’s first septuagenarian, Gerry Turner, find his second chance at love with his new wife Theresa Nist. The two recently tied the night on live television.
Find the list of women who Joey has sent home below. This article will be updated weekly.
