Summary
- The Bachelor season 28 finale will have an unprecedented ending, leaving fans speculating.
- The most common theory is that Joey Graziadei will send his runner-up home but then realizes he made a mistake and tries to salvage a relationship with her.
- Some fans are skeptical that anything groundbreaking will actually happen in the finale, but there are still several weeks until Joey makes his final decision.
The Bachelor‘s Joey Graziadei recently hinted that his finale will be unprecedented, and now fans are trying to figure out what shocking event will happen. Joey first appeared in The Bachelorette season 20, but Charity Lawson chose Dotun Olubeko during the finale instead of him. That’s when ABC swooped in and cast Joey as the lead of The Bachelor season 28. While his journey is only in the beginning stages, there’s already been plenty of drama, including a contestant quitting.
After Joey teased that The Bachelor season 28 finale will end in a way no one’s seen before, fans like Bulky-Ambassador6358 took to Reddit to sound off with their thoughts. While the thread featured numerous predictions, both serious and humorous, the most common theory is that Joey will send his runner-up home, but then the woman he wants to marry rejects him or Joey “realizes he made a mistake” (via Here4daT) and tries to salvage a relationship with the runner-up he already rejected. The OP theorized that the winner “changed her mind and denied the proposal,” but because he “already let the other girl go,” Joey has to work his charm with the rejected woman.
Joey Graziadei’s Bachelor Season 28 Finale Will Be Unexpected
RamblingRose63 said, “I think he thinks he made the wrong choice and doesn’t know until the car drives off then he realizes, wow hold up, changes his mind before the final decision is given to the original picked person.” The second most common theory in the Reddit thread is that the winner is the one who proposes instead of Joey. LilOwlNest said, “Maybe his F1 will propose to him? I secretly hope that happens every season!” Islandchick93 had a similar thought, adding, “They propose to each other.” Some of the predictions are a little more wild, like a pregnancy announcement.
It seems like every year, ABC teases that The Bachelor or Bachelorette is the most dramatic season yet. That doesn’t always pan out, despite how exciting a teaser like that sounds. There are some fans in the Reddit thread that are dubious that anything unprecedented will actually happen in the finale. As SnooCrickets8742 said bluntly, “Same thing that always happens-nothing.” If the outcome does end up being a surprise, it’s possible things will get very awkward if Sock-Parking‘s theory comes true, as they said, “The parents don’t give him the blessing but he proposes anyway??” Someone else thought Joey and his fiancé will elope right after getting engaged, which would definitely make for a shocking end.
