THE BACHELOR
When is The Bachelor finale 2024 and who went home last night, Monday 11 March?
Season 28 of The Bachelor, which began with 32 women vying for the love of tennis coach Joey Graziadei, is nearing its conclusion.
After nine episodes, season 28 of ABC’s reality show The Bachelor is approaching its climax, with just three women still in the race to win Joey Graziadei’s heart.
We’re set to witness just one more episode before The Bachelor moves on to the season finale - at which point Graziadei will make his choice. The contest’s conclusion is expected to air on Monday 25 March 2024.
Who is The Bachelor’s Joey Graziadei?
A 28-year-old coaching tennis pro from Royersford, Pennsylvania, Graziadei was previously a contestant in season 20 of The Bachelorette, finishing as runner-up in the battle for Charity Lawson’s affections.
According to ABC, he’s looking for “a life partner who is outgoing, caring, and shares his love for adventure and exploring the outdoors”.
Which contestants are left in season 28 of The Bachelor?
Since season 28 of The Bachelor premiered on 22 January 2024, the field has been whittled down from its initial 32 contestants to the following trio:
Daisy Kent, a 25-year-old account executive from Becker, Minnesota; Kelsey Anderson, a 25-year-old junior project manager from New Orleans, Louisiana; and Rachel Nance, a 26-year-old ICU nurse from Honolulu, Hawaii.
Who went home after Week 9′s “Fantasy Suites” episode?
We’re yet to find out which of Daisy, Kelsey and Rachel is going home after “Fantasy Suites”, which aired on Monday 11 March. The episode, which saw Joey have overnight dates with all three contestants in Tulum, Mexico, ended on a cliffhanger.
During the last of Joey’s dates - with Daisy - Kelsey left a note at his hotel door, telling him: “We need to talk”. Earlier, she had confessed to the camera that she’d “rather leave now than have my heart completely broken”.
On finding the note, Joey burst into tears, describing Kelsey’s potential walk-out as “like my worst nightmare”, adding: “This would derail everything.” Per Decider, he added: “I don’t want her to leave - I want her to be here. I want her to want to be here.”
Viewers can expect to find out which of the final three is the next to be eliminated on Monday 18 March, in “Women Tell All” - an episode that traditionally sees contestants already out of the running take part in a talk show about their experiences on The Bachelor.
