We are officially one episode into The Bachelor Season 28, and what a premiere it was! Joey Graziadei met all 32 of the women competing for his heart, and it is safe to say, he enjoyed every single second of it.
There was something about Joey, even while he was on Charity's season, that made our hearts flutter. From the minute he gets started in this week's premiere, he had the same impact on viewers as well as all the women that made their way to the mansion.
Suffice to say, we're all very excited about his season and what it has to offer. I can't wait to see what unravels especially after the season opener that gave fans a flash forward of Joey waiting to give out his final rose. Something goes down and all we know is that there is a lot of crying, perhaps him being stood up, and of course, the classic "What am I doing here?" dialogue.
Oh, the drama, have to love it!
In any case, The Bachelor Season 28 had it all--from awkward limo entrances, to two sisters hiding their relation until the end, to Lea finally opening the letter that was given to her during After the Final Rose. A lot went down, and sadly, at the end of it, 10 women were sent home packing, bidding farewell to the journey they had only just begun.
Find out who went home below!
Who got sent home during The Bachelor Season 28 premiere?
As mentioned already, 10 women were sent home during the very first rose ceremony. Here's who they were, in no special order:
Chandler
Chandler is a 24-year-old graphic designer from New York! Sad to see her journey ended all too early.
Zoe
The 24-year-old artist from Atlanta, Georgia did not make it past the first night. This doesn't come as too much of a shocker after that strange limo entrance presenting bananas of different sizes and shapes...
Kayla
This "outgoing woman with a big personality" was sent home tonight and unfortunately will not be in the running for Joey's life partner. We wish you the best of luck, Kayla. Go live your best life as a guidance counselor in Hamilton, Ohio--your person is out there!
Talyah
Hailing from Huntington Beach, California, this 23-year-old esthetician was unfortunately sent home during this week's premiere.
Kyra
Kyra is a 26-year-old paralegal from Miami, Florida. During this week's eliminations, she was one of the ten women who were sent home after night one.
Sandra
This 26-year-old cybersecurity consultant from Nashville, Tennessee was amongst the women sent home tonight. We're sad to see you go, but we wish you the best of luck in finding love! It's out there waiting for you!
Lanie
This 27-year-old adventure seeker from Philly will have to look for adventurous times elsewhere as Joey sent her home during this week's premiere.
Samantha
Did you know Samantha is a NFL cheerleader? Pretty cool, right? The 25-year-old pro football cheerleader will have to get back to the game to find her knight in shining armor as Joey was seemingly not the one for her. Wishing you luck, Samantha!
Nat
Joining the list of 10 women that did not make it past night one is Nat, a 26-year-old registered nurse and professor from Sudbury, Ontario. A Canada native, eh? She'll find someone in no time--Canadians are just the sweetest folks!
Sam
Hailing from Nashville, Sam is a 31-year-old CPA that was hoping to find love with Joey. While that may no longer be the case, we are hopeful she will find the love of her life very soon!
And that is a wrap on the 10 women that went home during The Bachelor Season 28 premiere. While their journey may have ended, there are still 22 women in the running so Joey definitely has his work cut out for him.
We can't wait to see how this journey continues for Joey--we are rooting for you, buddy!c
