The Bachelor Season 28: Meet Joey Graziadei and the Contestants
The common saying “this particular rose also has its thorns” rings true for Joey Graziadei, the leading man of season 28 of The Bachelor. These contestants often find that the Fantasy Suite episodes of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette become some of the most dramatic of each season, as confirmed by the drama of past seasons. For Joey, it was important to handle the delicate situation with grace, considering the scrutiny these encounters receive. He explained, “That is a very tough position to be in.”
While he couldn’t offer specifics, Joey acknowledged that he made an effort to be transparent and true to himself during those intimate moments. “I just tried to make decisions that I could explain, and things that I felt like would stay in tune with who I am as a person. I can’t really say more than that,” he shared.
The 28-year-old first appeared in Bachelor Nation as the runner-up during Charity Lawson’s season of The Bachelorette. After numerous teases, Joey was ultimately chosen live during the finale of Charity’s season to be the next Bachelor. Needless to say, his preparation and reflection paid off. “What I’m looking for is something so real that anyone can feel it, they can see it,” stated Joey.
The Bachelor Season 28 airs on Mondays at 8/7c on ABC and is available to stream on Hulu the next day. For more drama and excitement, the public is encouraged to continue following the show.
