Joey Graziadei, a prominent figure in Bachelor Nation, has been making waves with his recent commentary on the popular reality TV show. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, the 28-year-old reflected on some of his viral moments from the show's latest season.
During a trip to Malta in week 4 of the season, Joey made headlines for describing the city as having an 'old-school vibe.' Despite facing some criticism for his remarks, Joey took it in stride, acknowledging that people are invested in the show and he is okay with being the subject of jokes.
Another incident that garnered attention was when Joey mistakenly mixed up Gypsy Rose Blanchard and late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Joey took responsibility for the error, apologized, and clarified that he was aware of the difference between the two women.
Additionally, viewers have raised concerns about the apparent discoloration of Joey's eyes, speculating about a possible undisclosed health issue. Joey addressed these concerns, mentioning that he plans to share more information about the issue in a future video.
Despite these offscreen incidents, Joey's presence on the show has contributed to its success, with ratings higher than they have been in years. The women on his season are also gaining significant social media followings, reminiscent of the buzz generated during Matt James' season in 2021.
When praised for his role in the show's success, Joey remained humble, attributing the positive reception to the authenticity of the cast and their genuine efforts to build real connections. He emphasized the investment of both the contestants and the audience in the unfolding stories.
The Bachelor continues to captivate viewers, with an 'unprecedented ending' promised to air in March. Fans can catch the show on ABC on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET to witness the dramatic conclusion of the season.
