The Bachelor is back for episode two tonight as former Bachelorette contestant Joey Graziadei searches for his second chance at love.
Joey was announced as the next Bachelor during The Bachelorette’s season 20 finale, where he finished in second place.
Season 28 welcomed back host Jesse Palmer, who took over from Chris Harrison in 2021 after he was fired due to controversial comments he made in an Extra interview.
The season premiere on 22 January saw the arrival of 32 women entering the Bachelor mansion, all competing for roses and, ultimately, Joey’s heart.
That number quickly declined as 10 hopefuls were sent home. Among the 22 women to make it to the second episode were two sisters who quickly revealed their familial relationship after initially planning on keeping it a secret.
US viewers will be able to tune into the new episodes of The Bachelor on Mondays on ABC at 8pm ET/PT.

1706044782Why did ABC blur out the Canadian flag?The mystery of why the Canadian flag that Maria gave to Joey was blurred out has been solved! And the answer is not as controversial as you might think.
According to TVLine, a network source said that blurring out the flag was in line with the Canadian government’s official rules and regulations, with respect to the commercial use of its national symbols.
The country’s flag is “protected… against unauthorised use for commercial purposes,” and any requests to use the National Flag of Canada must be approved.

1705980626Who is Daisy, the early Bachelor fan-favourite?25-year-old Daisy is from Becker, Minnesota. Having grown up in a big, loving family with parents whose 30-plus-year marriage has been the blueprint for the kind of love she’s looking for, the account executive is ready to find a man who’s loyal, adventurous and family-oriented.
During the premiere episode, viewers learnt that Daisy lost a majority of her hearing and recently received a cochlear implant a couple of years ago.
She drove up in a pick-up truck with a Christmas tree in the boot, a reference to her childhood growing up on a Christmas tree farm.
