How does Joey Graziadei‘s season of The Bachelor end? Us Weekly has some (unfounded and perhaps unhinged) theories to percentage.
Before season 28 of The Bachelor began airing, Jesse Palmer teased that “what happens within the end is an unparalleled stunning first in Bachelor history.” While the franchise makes use of phrases like stunning, dramatic, emotional, and so on. annually, the remaining time ABC opted for “unprecedented” was once Peter Weber’s season 24 finale. (In case you forgot, the pilot were given engaged to Hannah Ann Sluss and referred to as it off — much to his mom’s dismay, shout-out Barb — whilst the display was once airing as a result of he still had emotions for runner-up Madi Prewett. Peter and Madi dated for two days after which he dated his 5th place contestant, Kelley Flanagan, off and on for 2 years.)
As Joey cries within the footage from the finale, he says: “That was once loopy. I didn’t be expecting that in any respect. I will’t assume that’s took place earlier than. I don’t even know what to say. I know I gave up to I could. I’m ill of feeling like this. It feels unsuitable, however I don’t know what to do.”
More not too long ago, one of the most showrunners told IndieWire that something took place particularly all over Joey’s ultimate rose rite that has never took place at the show sooner than. The plot twist impressed the gang to start out the series premiere with pictures from the finale.

“We felt like we had a chance not to just make the exchange for the sake of making a change,” govt manufacturer Claire Freeland stated on Thursday, February 15. “We had what we needed to back it up.”

Before we dive into potential ending, Us items a snappy rundown of ultimate rose ceremony eventualities that haven’t long past as “deliberate” in Bachelor historical past:
- The Bachelor doesn’t propose. This has took place a number of times, together with when present host Jesse was once the Bachelor in and extra lately with season 25 famous person Matt James, who is still courting final rose recipient Rachael Kirkconnell.
- The Bachelor picks no one. Brad Womack made historical past when he opted to ship both of his finalists home on season Eleven in 2007.
- The Bachelor changes his thoughts and opts for his runner-up; Jason Mesnick, Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Peter have all long gone down this road.
- The Bachelor finally ends up alone on the time of the final rose ceremony. Season 26 megastar Clayton Echard walked away solo after Susie Evans didn’t want him again. (The twosome went on up to now for just about a 12 months.)

That leaves Us with a few attainable choices for Joey’s “unheard of” final rose ceremony.
- Joey proposes and his finalist says no. (It’s up for debate if Clayton officially proposed to Susie, however having a ring that stays in your pocket doesn’t count when you ask Us.)
- One of Joey’s eliminated girls returns to scope up the rose. Could Lexi come back after her early go out?
- Joey’s ultimate pick ends things right through the overall rose ceremony but then comes again and adjustments her mind to just accept. (Cassie Randolph did unload Colton Underwood on season 23 sooner than opting to check out dating, however they have been never engaged.)
- Joey’s first select declines his proposal and he — gasp — proposes to his runner-up and she accepts.
