The Bachelor producers meddled with Joey Graziadei’s season and almost ruined it

Bachelor season 28 mainstay Joey Graziadei found his happily ever after when he got engaged to Kelsey Anderson during its finale, and he did so despite the absence of producers who seemed determined to create drama during the season. Joey, a 28-year-old tennis pro from Collegeville, Pennsylvania, entered Charity Lawson’s tournament as the No. 2 seed. Bachelorette season. Although Joey was devastated when Charity broke up with him to get engaged to Dotun Olubeko, he was happy to continue his journey to find his potential wife as a bachelor.

Bachelor season 28 began with Joey choosing from 32 women. By the season finale, he narrowed that group down to two: Kelsey and Daisy Kent. In an unprecedented move, Daisy recused herself at the final rose ceremony after announcing to Kelsey that she was leaving. Joey and Daisy had a respectful and loving breakup during which he told her he knew Kelsey was the one. He left after wishing them both well. Joey then proposed to Kelsey, who happily said yes. Although Joey got exactly what he wanted Bachelor at the end, his experience was more difficult due to the absence of producers.

Bachelor season 28’s Lea Cayanan got the benefit

Lea Forfeited the Advantage the Producer gave her

When Joey was announced as the next Bachelor during Charity’s “After the Final Rose” episode, he had the chance to meet one of his future contestants: Lea. During their meeting, host Jesse Palmer gave her an envelope that she was not allowed to open until Bachelor season 28 premiere. When Lea finally opened the envelope, she noticed it it contained a card that allowed him to steal one-on-one dates from any woman throughout the seasonuntil hometown days.

Lea was very upset by this and wanted no advantage. He didn’t want to force Joey to go on a date with him, and he also didn’t like the idea of ​​having to hurt another competitor by stealing his personal date. Because, Lea burned the card in a Bachelor Mansion jacket. Joey was so moved by her actions that she gave him her first impression.

When Joey went on his first date of the season in week one, only Lea and Sydney Gordon were left out of the one-on-one and group dates. It’s very suspicious that a woman who was given a date card that would have allowed her to steal a date from someone wasn’t given a date. It seems the producers wanted to create drama with the card, but it backfired when Lea destroyed it. A stolen date could have changed the course of Joey’s journeyand maybe affected the outcome, especially since Daisy got her first one-on-one date.

Bachelor season 28’s Sydney Gordon seemed to be a production factory

Sydney had previous ties to the show

Sydney was the biggest villain of the season Because of bullying Maria Georgas. However, even after Maria accepts Sydney’s apology in “The Women Tell” and even hugs her, Sydney’s motives for targeting Maria remain a bit of a mystery. Sydney claimed she was standing up for her friend Madina Alam after Madina expressed concern about being one of the oldest women in the house. When Sydney heard Maria say that Madina should accept her age because she is a beautiful woman, she misinterpreted it as Maria belittling Madina’s feelings.

However, Sydney made it her mission to expose Marian a “mean girl” and a bully to Joey, even though it wasn’t true. His reactions to Maria were overwhelming and strange, which made it seem like the producers may have planted him to create drama. The fact that he is a friend Bachelor in Paradise The couple Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon make this even more suspicious. If this is true, the producers almost ruined Maria and Joey’s relationship when she almost quit for bullying herself. It will definitely put a strain on their relationship.

Bachelor season 28 Kelsey Anderson’s note seemed unnecessary

Did the producers force Kelsey to leave the note?

After Joey and Kelsey’s beautiful night on the Fantasy Suite date, during which Kelsey told Joey, “I love you,” for the first time, he started going around about still dating Daisy and Rachel Nance. Before the date, he had met The Golden Bachelor season 1 runner-up Leslie Fhima, who had told him to protect her heart because she had believed Gerry Turner would choose her, and ended up heartbroken when he decided to get engaged to Theresa Nist instead. This lack of producers nearly derailed Kelsey and Joey’s relationship.

Kelsey decided to leave a note on Joey’s door that read: “We need to talk.“ When Joey found the letter, he was immediately scared and began to panic, thinking that something had gone wrong or that Kelsey had to leave. However, when they finally talked, Kelsey told him that she just wanted him to know that she missed him and that it was hard for him when they weren’t together because he was hanging out with other women. Joey admitted in his confessional that it shocked him and that it will take him a while to get over it.

Although there is no way to prove that bachelor producers were behind the memo, Kelsey felt odd doing something so dramatic. She later expressed in her confession that she regretted the wording of the note because it scared Joey so much. The whole situation seemed suspicious, from the note’s unnecessarily dramatic wording to the fact that he left the note. It seems likely that the end of Joey’s season went so smoothly that the producers wanted to do something to create a cliffhanger for viewers. However, it could have destroyed Joey and Kelsey’s relationship.

Daisy and Kelsey got to see each other before the final rose ceremony

The Bachelor season 28 finale was unprecedented

Never in history Bachelor have the last two ladies been allowed to speak before the final rose ceremony. Usually they are completely isolated and don’t know how each other’s last date went. However, Daisy got to visit with Kelsey when he realized that Joey would probably choose Kelsey over him. This led to one of the most powerful moments in the show’s history when Kelsey and Daisy were shockingly revealed to be riding in the same limo to the final rose ceremony, holding hands.

Although this unprecedented moment led to one of the most beautiful bachelor after all, it could easily have gone the other way. Kelsey could have been upset that Daisy got involved, and Joey could have been mad that Daisy told Kelsey she was the one before she had a chance. It looks like the producers set up the ending of the whole show just to promote it as unprecedented. Even if everything works out in the end, producers should never interfere, especially at the end of the journey.

Bachelor season 28 was perhaps the best ever, due to Joey’s near-perfect handling of the lead role and the many gorgeous women on the show. However, the producers need to stop interfering with the action to create drama. Joey and Kelsey are a magical couple that seems meant to be, but their relationship should have been able to develop without the producers manipulating the situation. Viewers can see through it and it’s a turn off. Bachelor producers need to be careful if they want fans to still believe in the show’s integrity.
