The Bachelor 2024: Joey leaves eliminated contestant in tears as another walks out in dramatic second episode
Former ‘The Bachelorette’ contestant has returned as the season 28 star of ‘The Bachelor’
The Bachelor is back for episode two tonight as former Bachelorette contestant Joey Graziadei searches for his second chance at love.
Joey was announced as the next Bachelor during The Bachelorette’s season 20 finale, where he finished in second place.
Season 28 welcomed back host Jesse Palmer, who took over from Chris Harrison in 2021 after he was fired due to controversial comments he made in an Extra interview.
The season premiere on 22 January saw the arrival of 32 women entering the Bachelor mansion, all competing for roses and, ultimately, Joey’s heart.
That number quickly declined as 10 hopefuls were sent home. Among the 22 women to make it to the second episode were two sisters who quickly revealed their familial relationship after initially planning on keeping it a secret.
US viewers will be able to tune into the new episodes of The Bachelor on Mondays on ABC at 8pm ET/PT.
We’re only 10 minutes away before we get to watch a looong string of funny, inevitably awkward, unique and hopefully entertaining first impressions. Who’s ready?
Fans are already predicting who they think will win Joey’s heart and who will stir up trouble in the Bachelor mansion?!
Oh poor Joey... they’ve got to show where he’s coming from to show where he’s going. And, of course, you can’t show a sad scene without a Billie Eilish soundtrack.
After the heartbreak with Charity, Joey moved back to Philadelphia to be closer to family. We love a family man.
Let’s meet Lexi
The first woman to step out of tonight’s limo is Lexi – a Canadian transplant living in Atlanta, Georgia.
“When I found out Joey was The Bachelor, I had full body chills,” she says.
Rachel from Hawaii
Rachel from Honolulu really wants to make a good first impression. She definitely learnt you can’t show up empty-handed. She gifted Joey something from her home state of Hawaii.
Another Canadian
The Canadians are showing up in numbers tonight! Maria says she still lives in Canada, so Joey better be ready to consider moving up North.
Also, why did they blur the Canadian flag? Anybody know?
Erika and Joey already share a first dance! The 25-year-old Latina brought out her boom box and made the first fun first impression.
Autumn had a great entrance, throwing out the leaves as her signature move. When she asked Joey what his favourite season was, and he answered spring or summer, it could’ve been awkward. But she handled it very smoothly: “Well, maybe you’ll learn to fall in love with autumn.”
