You\u2019re seeing something grow, seeing something get to the point where this might actually work. I was so afraid for hometowns being a step back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joey said that his relationships with <strong>Kelsey Anderson, Daisy Kent, Maria Georgas<\/strong> and<strong> Rachel Nance<\/strong> were going \u201cso well\u201d before hometowns and he feared \u201csomething going wrong\u201d when the women introduced him to their loved ones. His biggest concern was the relationships \u201cnot moving at the same trajectory as [they] were\u201d because of something that happened during the family meetings.<\/p>\n<p>However, at that point in the season, he admitted he was still pretty confident that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/who-wins-the-bachelor-2024-joeys-season-spoilers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">everything would work out<\/a>. He told hosts <strong>Joe Amabile<\/strong> and <strong>Serena Pitt<\/strong> that he was 70 or 80 percent sure the process would work for him as he went into the crucial hometown week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could see the relationships were getting there but we [hadn\u2019t] gotten to the point of anyone expressing that they\u2019re in love with me, if there\u2019s real feelings, if they could see a future,\u201d he explained. \u201cThose conversations come later on. I think what you\u2019re feeling is, \u2018Is [this] going to keep progressing? It is right now, but is it going to get there?\u2019 So there\u2019s always going to be that 20 to 30 percent of doubt until you know that someone is going to feel the way you might feel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the Monday, February 26, episode, Joey made his hardest decision yet when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/who-went-home-on-the-bachelor-joey-graziadei-eliminations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he sent home<\/a> <strong>Jenn Tran<\/strong> and <strong>Kelsey Toussant<\/strong>, leaving just four women remaining. He will travel to their hometowns on the March 4 episode.<\/p>\n<p>When Joey was a contestant on <em>The Bachelorette<\/em>, he had a memorable hometown date thanks to his uncle grilling<strong> Charity Lawson<\/strong> about their relationship. Going through that helped give Joey an idea of how he wanted to handle things as the lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned not to judge completely off the hometown,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s so many dynamics that might affect if it goes well or not. And definitely be willing to ask questions. If I felt any kind of pushback, I would want to learn and ask more about why because I think it\u2019s important to understand it and not just go with how they\u2019re feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Bachelor<\/em> airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/posts\/the-bachelors-joey-reveals-his-fears-about-hometown-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While teasing the upcoming hometown dates episode on season 28 of The Bachelor, lead Joey Graziadei admitted to his biggest fear about meeting his final four\u2019s families. \u201cI think anyone that\u2019s been to that point can understand how good things are going for a lot of relationships at that point [in the season],\u201d the tennis [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":80200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-80199","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lifestyle"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80199"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80199\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
