'Bachelor' Joey Graziadei Picks [SPOILER] At The End Of His Season
Things will not be staying Golden for too much longer, Bachelor Nation. While I'd love to watch Gerry Turner chase long-lasting love for the rest of time, the OG Bachelor must, and will, return. In fact, season 28 already has a release date, and it’s coming up sooner than you’d think.
ICYMI, the season 28 Bachelor will be Joey Graziadei, the super-sweet runner-up from Charity Lawson's season. Joey is originally from Pennsylvania, but he's since moved to Hawaii—where he currently lives. The 28-year-old leading man is a tennis pro—so here's hoping there's more than a few dates on the court in the upcoming season. He's also a total family man, which means hometowns will be super interesting, too.
His upcoming wives-to-be include a pair of sisters, and even an actress—which means drama is certainly going to be coming down the pipeline. Luckily, Reality Steve got an inside scoop on what happens this season—right down to who Joey ends up proposing to. Yes, the final rose recipient has been revealed! Thank you, Steve!!
Below, Women's Health has all the spoilers for season 28 of The Bachelor. Get ready for 2024!
***ALERT: Bachelor Season 28 Spoilers Ahead!!!***

The Golden Bachelor only has one final episode left, so this new season of The Bachelor is fast approaching!
Who are the contestants for Joey Graziadei's season?
Joey's season includes 32 women from all over the country. There are already a few to keep your eyes on this season—including Daisy Kent, Kelsey Toussant, Maria Georgas, Rachel Nance, Kelsey Anderson, and Jenn Tran (read on for why that is).
Joey's season also, interestingly, includes a pair of sisters, Lauren and Allison Hollinger.
Here's a list of the contestants:

Reality Steve just let slip some major spoilers for the first episode. And, alas, some women will see their journey with Joey wrap up before it even really begins. The women sent home empty-handed at the very first rose ceremony include:
Chandler Dewgard
Kayla Rodgers
Kyra Brusch
Lanie Latsios
Natalie Crepeau
Samantha Hale
Samantha Washington
Sandra Rabadi
Talyah Jackson
Zoe Antona
Who gets Joey's first impression rose?
This might be one of the best first impression moments in Bachelor history (and that's saying something!). Lea Cayanan first met Joey during The Bachelorette's After The Final Rose episode. Reality Steve reported that Lea was given a letter by Joey to open on opening night of Joey's season.
When the day came, she opened the letter—which revealed she had the opportunity to steal a one-on-one date from any of the other women at any time during the season.
Instead of relishing in the unbelievable power she had just been handed, she burned the letter. Later, Lea told Joey she wanted to be chosen by him for a date, rather than stealing one. This earned her the first impression rose, per Reality Steve.
Daisy gets the first one-on-one date.
Yup, this gal nabs the first special date with Joey, and it looks like it didn’t disappoint. The two take a helicopter ride to the BeachLife Ranch Festival in Redondo Beach, Calif., according to Reality Steve.
A video posted on X (former Twitter) of the date show Joey and Daisy dancing onstage in front of a crowd while looking into each other’s eyes and, generally appearing pretty smitten with each other. Awww!

Who are Joey's final six?
Drum roll please... Joey's final six are Daisy Kent, Kelsey Toussant, Maria Gorgas, Rachel Nance, Kelsey Anderson, and Jenn Tran.
Steve reports that Jenn Tran will be the fifth runner-up and is eliminated in Canada, which means Kelsey Toussant is the sixth runner-up.
Who makes it to hometowns for Joey's season?
Steve has reported that Daisy Kent, Kelsey Anderson, Maria Georgas, and Rachel Nance will make it to hometowns.
So far, Daisy Kent's date was filmed in Minnesota (which must be where she's from originally) and Kelsey Anderson's was filming in New Orleans on Oct. 26.
Who are Joey's final three?
Reality Steve already has intel right down to the final three. The television sleuth claims that Maria Georgas is eliminated during the final four rose ceremony (so, presumably during hometowns).
That means that Daisy Kent, Kelsey Anderson, and Rachel Nance will be Joey's final three ladies.
Who does Joey pick?
Daisy! Reality Steve just reported that Joey's final No. 1 pick from his season is none other than Daisy Kent. Joey drops down on one knee in Tulum, Mexico during the finale.
Is he still engaged?
No word here, but I'm certainly rooting for Joey's happily-ever-after.
What else do we know about Joey's Bachelor season?
Reality Steve has been able to relay a bit of info about the upcoming dates for Joey's season. In episode 5, a few women enjoy a dinner outside Iglesia De Santa Maria in Marbella, Spain.
Then, in episode 6, the group flies to Canada for a street hockey date in Montreal. Steve also reports that Maria and Kelsey Toussant recieve one-on-one dates during this episode. And, at the moment, the group is filming episode 7 at Jasper Lodge in Canada. Apparently, there will be a polar plunge in this episode. Brr.
Reality Steve is reportedly still waiting for intel on the overnights episode, but I'm sure that will come soon enough.
Where has Joey's season of The Bachelor filmed?
All over. Buckle your seatbelts—because it's back to gallivanting around the globe for the upcoming Bachelor season. Reality Steve reports the group has been to Malta, Spain, and Canada (Montreal and Jasper).

The group will also, obviously, spend some time in California. Steve even spotted Joey and Daisy Kent on a pretty public one-one-one date in September. Plus, we'll likely see some hometown dates fairly soon. According to Reality Steve, they started filming those episodes on Oct. 24.

Is there a Bachelor Season 28 trailer?
Not yet! In the meantime, I will be soaking in all the final Golden Bachelor moments that I can before the season is over.
