Bachelor 28 - Joey Graziadei - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

ariwolf wrote:a person on reddit attended the filming today and it looks like it was packed. the owner said it was their biggest day in the 28 years they've owned the place and a producer said he's worked on the show for 6 years and it's the most hysteria he's ever seen for a bachelor.

Can you check that link. They either removed it, or there's an error in the link. I looked around and couldn't find it.

Fun fact.

Graziadei visited the bakery last month with his sister Carly Monzo, whose wedding was catered by the bakery. Following that visit, producers from "The Bachelor" reached out to the Carcareys to let them know that Graziadei hoped to film a segment at their establishment.

@GuardianAngel weird, it must've been deleted! it was a video of the local news covering the day.

it still appears in a google search, but when you click the link it says page not found.

@ariwolf I know, that's what I saw when I searched it. It was there, but it doesn't take you to the story. Too bad I would have liked to see that. Thanks for bringing it over. Maybe they'll repost their story.

Interesting....isn't that a little early? Maybe only by a few days. Will be interesting to see if Joey's season is the traditional length or shorter like Charity's. I'm guessing it will be the long version so that they can milk Joey's popularity for all it is worth!

@luvstx lets hope so. Also, with the writer's strike still going on, the producers may have a lot of time to fill - even in January!

@Norcalgal @ariwolf  Thanks for the info.  I also read that RS will release the names of the women he has (so far I guess) either today, Sat or Sun but that we should have them by the first night.

I will drive up by the mansion tomorrow to see what's up if anything, and then try again Monday.

i had a look at the previous start dates. this is just from wikipedia, so i'm not sure if it's 100% accurate but it looks like they're just going back to the pre-covid schedule:

zach - september 26th (gabby & rachel's finale wasn't until september 20th)
clayton - september 29th (michelle's season didn't finish filming until mid-september)
matt - october 10th (bubble season which required a 2 week quarantine before filming could start)
peter - september 20th
colton - september 21st
arie - september 20th
nick - september 24th
ben - september 24th
chris - september 25th
juan pablo - september 16th

Yes Joey, just be yourself. I hope this franchise doesn't rough him up. He is mature beyond years imho. He's very confident when he is interviewed. Speaks very well.

@ariwolf meant to say, love your avi!

Thanks Ariwolf! Joey is just amazing. So much maturity, humility and charm. I really don't think TPTB can or will mess with him too much. He knows who he is and will be true to that.

Fascinating that so many leads say that their biggest fear is not having their love reciprocated. Always some nagging self-doubt.

And I love that he's honest about loving being The Bachelor. He has had a fun month since the announcement and good for him. Now on to the tough stuff.

I can't wait!

When was the last time we had such a genuine guy as the Lead??
