New year, new Bachelor! Tennis hunk Joey Graziadei<\/strong><\/a> is ready to find his match during The Bachelor<\/em><\/a> season 28 and fans have high hopes for his second journey to find love. ABC gave fans a taste of the seemingly drama-filled and emotional season in the trailer and we have all the information viewers need to know ahead of the premiere including the premiere date, host and more!<\/p>\n The start of the work week won\u2019t be so bad because Bachelor Mondays returns on January 22, 2024. Ladies and gentlemen, get your brackets, charcuterie boards and cocktails ready for hosting season!<\/p>\n You guessed it, Jesse Palmer<\/strong> is returning to host the show he starred on as the season 5 lead.<\/p>\n \u201cGet ready for the most romantic season in Bachelor history,\u201d the TV host said in the trailer before later adding, \u201cWhat happens in the end is an unprecedented shocking first in Bachelor history.\u201d<\/p>\n Joey, who was Charity Lawson<\/strong>\u2019s runner-up during The Bachelorette<\/em>, will have 32 women fighting for his final rose and one of them will possibly become Mrs. Graziadei.<\/p>\n Fans will meet contestants<\/a> Starr, Talyah, Sandra, Zoe, Katelyn, Edwina, Kayla, Daisy, Sydney, Chandler, Jessica, Kelsey T., Nat Autumn, Erika, Sam, Marlena, Rachel, Madina, Jenn, Chrissa, Samantha, Taylor, Allison, Lauren, Lexi, Lea, Kelsey A., Kyra, Evalin, Lanie<\/strong> and Maria<\/strong> upon their grand limo arrivals.<\/p>\n The season hasn\u2019t started yet and the women have already stirred up some drama! For instance, Allison and Lauren knew each other before joining the show \u2026 because they\u2019re twin sisters. Not to worry, they have dated the same guy before, so this isn\u2019t their first rodeo.<\/p>\n Lea, on the other hand, met Joey during After the Final Rose<\/em> and she received a mystery card during Night 1. \u201cIt\u2019s not a date card,\u201d Jesse revealed in the teaser. \u201cHowever, it is absolutely going to help you on your journey.\u201d<\/p>\n The Pennsylvania native saw a future with Bachelorette Charity and his feelings were reciprocated to an extent. Joey made it to the season finale but Charity accepted now-fianc\u00e9 Dotun Olubeko<\/strong>\u2019s proposal. Although he was heartbroken at the moment, the professional athlete holds a great friendship with his ex and costar, and they even celebrated Thanksgiving night together.<\/p>\n All that being said, Joey\u2019s heart is healed and he is ready to find love again.<\/p>\n \u201cEven though you saw true heartbreak last night, I leave this experience with nothing but gratitude and love. Charity and Dotun are unbelievable individuals that deserve a lifetime of happiness. From the bottom of my heart, I wish them nothing but the best,\u201d he wrote via Instagram<\/a> following the August 2023 After the Final Rose<\/em> episode. \u201cAs for me, I cannot wait to see what unfolds over these next few months. I have grown immensely with my time on the show and know that I\u2019ll always have room for more growth. But I feel more ready than ever to find my person. I know this won\u2019t be easy, but I can promise you that I will give it my all and try to just enjoy the hell out of it. All I can do is be myself through and through and hope I\u2019ll be lucky enough to find love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhen Does \u2018The Bachelor\u2019 Season 28 Premiere?<\/h2>\n
