Bachelor Joey Graziadei Confronts the Women About Something That ‘Scares’ Him: ‘I Am Taking This Seriously’

The search for Mrs. Right came with the wrong moves for the Bachelor Joey Graziadei.

Monday’s episode Bachelor kicked off with the first of two group dates, the Ms. Law competition judged by April, Susan, Kathy and Nancy from The The Golden Bachelor.

Edwina, Kelsey A., Lexi, Allison, Madina, Chrissa, Lea, Sydney and Maria modeled their coolest Sunday lounges and then answered questions The Golden Bachelor women.

Sydney, 28, admitted to acting in bed, and when Kathy asked Kelsey A what would happen if she and Joey, 28, got stuck in an elevator together, the junior project manager, 25, cheekily replied: “We could do some new memories.”

During the talent show, Edwina, 25, sang a song she wrote for Joey and Lexi declared herself “the best lover in the world”. Lexi asked Joey to come on stage and determine if she deserved the title, and the tennis pro complied. As a result, Joey gave Lexi the title of Mrs. Law.

“Kissing was not a talent,” complained Edwina in an on-camera interview.

Maria, 29, expressed a similar sentiment to Joey at the after party after the election. “I just wasn’t in my comfort zone,” the executive assistant told Joey.

Maria said she would prefer the talent contest to be a kissing contest “because that’s what you confirmed today.”

Joey claimed he was “not looking for special talent” and considered himself “very reserved at times”.

“I need to know that whoever I’m with can understand and actually love that side of me,” he continued.

Maria responded by claiming to be a “homemaker” and an “introvert.”

Joey also checked in with Madina and asked the mental health therapist, 31, if she wanted to say anything to him because she was “kind of upset about something that happened at the house” at the last cocktail party.

Madina told Joey she “feels like I’m being bullied” after some of the women in the house weighed in on her concerns that she was too old to Bachelor.

“From what I’ve heard, some girls have reportedly said, ‘She’s not even that old,’ which seemed very discouraging,” Madina said.

Joey asked what made Madina feel that way, but she refused to name it.

“This is the last thing I want,” Joey told the cameras. “The thought that someone might not show me all sides of themselves scares me.”

Joey confronted the group about what Madina had told him. “Even the thought of the word ‘thug’ scares me because I take this seriously,” he said. “I’m trying to find my forever person and the idea of ​​something possibly happening without knowing what it is scares me. If there is something that needs to be said, I need to hear about it.”

Joey gave Kelsey A a group meeting to “try to be as good as possible throughout the process,” and when he left, Madina admitted that it was her conversation with Joey that prompted his comment.

“Could you please explain to me how you felt mistreated?” Maria asked.

“I felt bullied too,” Sydney chimed in.

When Maria questioned Sydney, the owner of the ancient wound told her, “I literally heard you talking… about my friend. You literally talk— all the time.”

Sydney also called Maria a “cat” and Maria asked Sydney to stay out of the situation.

ONE ON ONE DATE

Jenn scored in the weekly one-on-one session, which consisted of Joey teaching her to surf. Afterwards they toasted on the sand.

“You have to look me in the eye,” Jenn, 25, told Joey. “Seven years of bad sex if you don’t.”

This worried Joey. “What the hell? I’m screwed!” he noticed.

Still, Joey enjoyed his time with Jenn. “I think we just click in a lot of ways,” he told the cameras. “I mean, I’m laughing now. It’s easy with her.”

Jenn felt the same way. “My feelings for Joey have definitely grown today,” she said in an on-camera interview.

During the evening portion of their date, Jenn told Joey that she didn’t feel like witnessing a good example of love because her parents often fought when she was a child.

“They were just arguing all the time and they weren’t necessarily trying to hide their argument,” the student physician assistant said. “As a result, I had to fend for myself and it was a really traumatic place to grow up.”

Jenn said her relationship with her dad has “deteriorated” and he no longer plays a role in her life. But with Joey, she saw the potential for a romantic relationship.

“I see how honest and good a person you are, and that’s something that I’ve been missing in my life and that’s something that I’m ready for now,” Jenn told Joey.

They kissed and Joey took Jenn outside to the light show. One of the screens said, “Jenn, will you accept this rose?” to which she replied “yes”.

DATE OF THE SECOND GROUP

It only lasted until the 3rd week Bachelor to give Joey a tennis date, and Katelyn, Autumn, Rachel, Daisy, Evalin, Kelsey T., Starr, and Jess had the pleasure of being the ones on it.

After appearing in court for The Bachelor Open, host Jesse Palmer told the women that they would find a surprise in the locker rooms. There they found costumes to compete in for their pairs, such as bee and beehive, lobster and butter, and hot dog and bun.

Later, Katelyn, 25, told Joey about her “family curse”.

“All the women in my family are single and they all rely on me to break this curse,” revealed the radiochemist.

That didn’t scare Joey. “I get dizzy when I’m next to Katelyn,” he said to the cameras.

Rachel, 26, told Joey he reminded her of her father and Daisy, 25, invited Joey to touch her cochlear implant. “I feel like it will make you feel more comfortable,” Daisy said.

At the end of the date, Joey gave Katelyn a rose.

POOL PARTY AND ROSE CEREMONY

Joey decided to trade the cocktail party for a pool party with a KFC menu. Sydney took the opportunity to tell Joey how she sees Maria as a “mean girl”.

“She verbally assaulted me and I was sitting there being composed,” Sydney told Joey. “She called me ’embarrassing’, ‘weird’ and ‘stupid’.”

Joey thanked Sydney for “feeling comfortable sharing that with me.”

“I thought she would be someone I could see a future with if we could open up and go deeper,” Joey told Maria’s cameras. “Now I’m hearing that it’s hard for her to get along with other women and create a hostile environment.”

Joey continued to pull Maria to talk. “What I heard were the words ‘verbal abuse’, ‘hostile environment’, the feeling that he couldn’t share how he felt and as soon as someone spoke, you would attack them and swear at some other women. “, he said to Mary.

Maria refuted Sydney’s claims. “I was bullied and that’s just not it,” she told Joey. “From that experience, I never want to treat anyone as badly as I have been treated in the past.”

Maria said the allegations upset her.

“I see you are and I can tell by the way you talk,” Joey said.

The Canadian also stated: “Sydney, if you like her, there’s no way you’re going to like me because we’re completely different people.”

Joey understood what he meant. “I probably should have asked some more questions and I realize it now,” he told Marija.

In an on-camera interview, Joey admitted: “The way Maria talked to me felt more real than the way Sydney talked to me. I’m really freaked out right now.”

Edwina thought that the whole situation did not deserve attention. “I don’t think anyone is exposed to bullying,” she said in front of the cameras. “I feel like people are overdoing it.”

At the rose ceremony, Joey kept both Maria and Sydney, as well as Lexi, Leah, Kelsey T., Rachel, Madina, Daisy, Jess, Edwina, Autumn, and Allison.

Joey toasted the remaining ladies, “I want to let you all know that I’m very excited for the rest of you.”
