Who Went Home on Joey’s ‘The Bachelor’ Season 28 Premiere?

Joey Graziadei began his search for love on Monday night’s premiere of The Bachelor Season 28.

Host Jesse Palmer told the curly-haired tennis teacher, 28, who loved and lost Charity Lawson on last summer’s The Bachelorette Season 20, that he would be greeting the largest cast of women ever on the show—32 hopefuls.

The episode began with an emotional tease on how Joey’s season will end, showing the hunk crying on a beach and moaning to crew members, “Oh, God. It sucks.”

Then cameras reminded fans how Joey’s journey all began, with Charity rejecting him in Fiji, telling her sad runner-up suitor that she felt love deeper with Dotun Olubeko, who became her fiancé.

But Joey bounced back when he was named The Bachelor. The Pennsylvania native told cameras he wants a woman who is open, caring, adventurous and fun.

Joey has a hard act to follow as hugely popular The Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner, married his show choice Theresa Nist in a live ABC wedding on Jan. 4.

The last few years, it started getting really bad. I was not able to hear and understand people, which was really hard and really sad. But I got a Cochlear implant this last year in my left ear and it’s honestly completely changed my life. It’s exciting to me because I forgot like the everyday sounds. I’m so thankful and so happy and my life is so full of love and I honestly just want someone to share all that with.”

Who did Joey kiss on The Bachelor premiere?

Jenn challenged Joey to a go-cart race and after she told him she was learning to play tennis, they kissed.

Daisy told Joey her entrance reflected her life, as she grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Minnesota.

They wound up smooching and Daisy raved to cameras that he was “a good kisser.”

She didn’t want to tell Joey about her Cochlear implant right away, but was struggling to hear the other women as they all chattered in the mansion.

In an usual setup with two sisters competing, Alison and Lauren both wanted to kiss Joey. Alison got the first kiss.

What did Jess do to provoke others?

Jess pushed the envelope more after boasting about her Joey kiss, interrupting Taylor as she was trying to talk to him.

Delivering a familiar Bachelor bad girl line, Jess declared, “I’m definitely not here to make friends.”

Allison wound up smooching Joey first!

With both gals telling him they grew up near Philadelphia, Joey wasn’t surprised when they confessed to him that they were sisters.

In the understatement of all time, Joey sighed to cameras, “There’s a lot of problems that can come with that.”

Who looked like a strong contender?

Joey’s one-on-one time with Kelsey A. seemed electric. The stunner told him she grew up in a military family and at one point lived in Germany. She would be willing to live anywhere.

ABC/Kelsey A. seemed interesting to Joey!

What did Lea’s special card say?

As fans know, Lea was the first contestant to meet Joey and did so when he was named The Bachelor during Charity’s Bachelorette  After The Final Rose special.

She was awarded a card that she couldn’t open until The Bachelor premiered.

But when Lea did, she cried because it entitled her to stealing any one-on-one date from another woman any time before the hometowns episode.

Lea sobbed that it would come at someone else’s expense.

She told Joey privately that she didn’t want to use the card, because the others had sacrificed so much to be there and it wouldn’t be fair.

ABC/Lea showed her character in the house.
