Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor is over, and he's bringing his final four women with him after the February 26 episode: Daisy Kent, Kelsey Anderson, Rachel Nance and Maria Georgas traveled to their hometown.
Hometown dates are often tense, given the stakes at this point in the bachelor's degree process. But with the hype surrounding Joey's "unprecedented" season finale, this round of family visits may spark more discussion than usual as fans try to predict exactly how the final episode will play out.
Speaking of which, what’s going on in Joey’s Bachelor hometown? If you don't mind taking a look at the next elimination match , there may be spoilers ahead !
tears will flow down
According to the trailer for the finale of Week 7, emotions will be running high during Joey's hometown. Kelsey's father called it a "terrible process," adding that he worried about his daughter while Joy dated three other women. His reservations mask the footage of her crying.
Rachel also had a tearful moment, crying in front of her home and being comforted by Joey. That could mean anything, but this scene follows a clip of Rachel's mom telling him, "I wish you the best," and not seeming to wholeheartedly approve of her daughter's Bachelor relationship.
Family support is also important to Daisy. "I definitely needed help from my family ... to figure out exactly what I was feeling," she said. With Daisy refusing to reveal she's in love with Joey in week seven, it looks like her family's guidance may play a key role in her next steps.
But visiting Maria’s family in Canada was probably the most fun of them all. Maria said her dad "didn't make things easy" when it came to Joey, and sure enough, Mr. George teased that in his own confessional. "Maria is 100 percent a daddy's girl," he said. "If she gets hurt, that's a problem for Joey."
Joey's hometown outlet is...
According to Reality Steve , Mariah was eliminated after her hometown show. (But only time will tell how her father reacts to news of the breakup.)
In fact, Steve didn't specify what happened between Mariah and Joey in Canada. However, while all spoilers are unconfirmed, she did not appear in promos for the remainder of the season - lending credence to reports that she left in front of a fantasy suite in Tulum, Mexico.
Of course, this might not be the end of the fan-favorite season 28. Many viewers are rooting for Mariah to be the next Bachelorette, and she seems to be having a positive experience with the series — saying in a Bachelor Nation questionnaire that she gained a "long-lost soul sister" in the process , and will still be hanging out with Joey today.
Even though Mariah did quit after Hometown , months into filming it seemed like she had nothing but love for the show (and Joey).
