With hometown dates less than two weeks away, Season 28 of ABC’s “The Bachelor” is heating up. Four contestants will get to show the bachelor around their hometowns and introduce him to their families.
Fans took to the X social media platform to express their opinions on Joey Graziadei — the bachelor himself — and the six remaining women vying for his hand heading into week seven: Daisy Kent, Jenn Tran, Kelsey Anderson, Kelsey Toussant, Maria Georgas and Rachel Nance.
Kent has been a frontrunner from the beginning, as it was predicted she would emerge victorious and be engaged to Graziadei at the end of the season.
But some aren’t so sure. Fans have been discussing their favorite contestants, as well as everything Graziadei has gone through so far this season.

Drama began when former contestant Madina Alam expressed insecurity about her age, and another former contestant Sydney Gordon took issue with Georgas’ response to the situation. Eventually, Gordon and Georgas went on a two-on-one date with the bachelor — which ended in Gordon’s elimination.
Lea Cayanan then entered the fray because she was upset with Alam’s courteous nature toward Georgas following the incident. Jess Edwards expressed her dislike of Georgas as well when she cut into Edwards’ one-on-one time with the bachelor.
A confusing situation? You’re not the only one who thinks so. To make matters worse, Cayanan burned her steal a date card in the fire during the first episode.

Now that the drama has been resolved and all of those involved have been eliminated besides Georgas, fans are hoping she wins the season and Graziadei’s heart.

Graziadei, who works as a tennis pro, has been the object of media attention since the show first aired because of his likable, kind and patient nature.
Some have even called him the best bachelor yet.

Joey is MY favorite bachelor. The best Bachelor in years. He's kind, attentive, emotionally intelligent, respectful. He listens to each woman when sharing their story and best of all he doesn’t respond using the same lines on multiple women #Bachelor #BachelorNation #TheBachelor pic.twitter.com/v4P0TUrkNn
