The love between Joey Graziadei and the remaining ladies of The Bachelor season 28 is only growing stronger!
WARNING: Major spoilers for The Bachelor season 28 episode 3, which airs tonight, below.
Although it's only Week 3 tonight, we can see some of these contestants becoming frontrunners who may make it to the final weeks of this season. Case in point, Jenn Tran!
The gorgeous New Jersey native went from being in the background of a group date to receiving the one-on-one date this week, reminding us that Joey's feelings can change at any time. But where Joey is falling more in love with one person, he's, sadly, falling out of love with a few others.
Who will Joey strengthen his bond with? Who will Joey send home? And, more importantly, just what is the drama that caused a special group date to turn left?
Here's everything that transpires in week 3 of The Bachelor season 28!
The ladies settle the score with a game of tennis
Just like with their Week 2 group date, Joey wants to make sure he's getting the ladies out of the house and up on their feet. This time, he's doing it with a game of tennis!
According to Reality Steve, Joey has eight contestants paired up into four groups of two. Each group will use stamina and strategy to dominate and secure the win.
Check up the pairings below!
- Evalin Clark + Kelsey Toussant
- Katelyn DeBacker + Jess Edwards
- Starr Skyler + Rachel Nance
- Autum Waggoner + Daisy Kent
After all was said and done, Katelyn's competitive spirit put her on Joey's radar, making her the lucky contestant who received the first group date rose of Week 3.
Joey and Jenn hang ten!
Whereas the first group date was scoring matchpoints and working on their swings, Joey and Jenn Tran, his Week 3 one-on-one date, were having the time of their lives surfing on the waves.
Surfing is right up Jenn's alley, as her Instagram shows us that she loves being surrounded by water. Be it in Miami, Florida, or Newport, Rhode Island, Jenn is no stranger to the ocean blue, so it's safe to say she and Joey's connection is finally making waves.
We'll have to wait and see to know what conversations Joey and Jenn have on their date. But so far, so good!
The same can't be said for some of the other ladies, though!
A drama-filled talent show for the books
We're sure the women from the first group date of this week wouldn't be jealous of the second group date in the slightest, as this group date was nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster.
What was initially supposed to be harmless fun where nine — Madina Alam, Kelsey Anderson, Lea Cayanan, Edwina Dorbor, Maria Georgas, Sydney Gordon, Allison Hollinger, Chrissa Perez, and Lexi Young — showcased their unique talents for Joey to see. However, that all changed when Maria felt slightly insecure about her age and Sydney saw it best to provoke Maria further.
While Sydney and Maria's brewing beef wasn't strong enough to keep Joey from giving the second group date rose to Kelsey Anderson, the beef was powerful enough to carry on through the rest of the week.
No life jackets can save this disaster pool party!
To shake things up, Joey decided to trade in cocktail glasses for pool party floaties! Enjoying some nice pool time under the beautiful California sun was supposed to be a relaxing time for the ladies. However, the drama never stays hidden for long, as the beef between Maria and Sydney continues.
We're sure Joey is keeping tabs on which ladies are causing more trouble for the others. But for now, it seems that fans will get even more of the Maria and Sydney drama next week since these two didn't go home this week.
Who went home in Week 3 of The Bachelor?
Here's who did wind up going home during Week 3 of The Bachelor season 28:
- Evalin Clark
- Chrissa Perez
- Starr Skyler
You can a sneak peek of everything that's in store tonight below!
As the weeks go by, the tides are turning faster than anyone ever expected. The ladies have to put their best foot forward to ensure Joey doesn't send them home before they get their chance. Even so, will the drama cloud their ultimate goal of finding love? Or will they finally realize that the drama is trivial compared to the final goal? More importantly, who will Joey go on a date with next?!
Tune in for a brand new episode of The Bachelor season 28 on Monday, Feb. 12, at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC! See you there!
