Will tonight’s The Bachelor finale end in heartbreak or happiness for Joey Graziadei?
The reality series’s 28th season has seen tennis coach Graziadei whittle down 32 contestants to two finalists: Daisy Kent and Kelsey Anderson.
In the trailer for the final episode, viewers see Graziadei standing in tears while a car drives away in Tulum, Mexico, where the engagement is supposed to happen.
“I didn’t expect that at all,” a distraught-looking Graziadei tells producers. “I can’t think that’s happened before.”
The Bachelor finale will air in its regular Monday night slot at 8pm ET/PT on ABC. You can find more details on how to watch here.
The latest season has seen theatrical exits, vicious feuds, injuries and no shortage of heartbreak.
In a blog post last month, popular TV blogger Reality Steve shared a “spoiler” for whom he believed to be this season’s winner.
Filming took place last Autumn and the result has been kept tightly under wraps ever since. Follow along with us live as the winner is finally revealed.

Bachelor fans accuse producers of ‘sabotaging’ Rachel
During the fantasy suites episode, fans accused the show’s producers of “sabotaging” Rachel’s chances with Joey by sending her on a “dangerous” date that landed her in hospital.
Joey and Rachel went to a cenote where the two jumped off elevated wooden platforms into a deep body of groundwater.
Rachel landed on her face and had to go to hospital to assess her injuries. Later that night, Rachel told Joey: “I’m still upset about today, I think I still feel bad that I ruined the day because you had the whole day planned, and I was waiting all week for it.”
“Rachel, girl, you didn’t ruin the date,” a fan tweeted, adding: “The Producers put you in a dangerous position and you got hurt during something dangerous. No apologies.”

The Bachelor star reveals she was hospitalised during filming
Ex-contestant Lexi has revealed that she was sent to hospital while shooting to treat an ovarian cyst that had burst.
The 30-year-old digital strategist from Atlanta, Georgia, opened up to Joey during the show about living with endometriosis – a disease in which uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus. It often causes severe pelvic pain and can make it more difficult to get pregnant.
“I actually ended up going to the UCLA hospital while I was on the show,” Lexi recently told People.
“I had an ovarian cyst burst because I froze my eggs two weeks before going on the show. And so my ovaries were so enlarged from all the hormones that they hadn’t come back down yet.”
