The Bachelor Recap
A rose ceremony twist shocked Joeys remaining women.
At the beginning of the Feb. 26 episode, Joey felt shaken afterLexi Youngs self-eliminationlast week.
All six of the women here are unbelievable, he said.
Daisys Not In Love…
Yet
For the first one-on-one date in Alberta, Joey andDaisy Kentwent horseback riding and hot-tubbing.
She was the first real connection I created, and it hasnt faded, he said.
Its been there the entire time, and I feel like I am falling for Daisy.
Daisy, however, wasnt exactly on the same page.
While she could envision a future with Joey, she was careful with her feelings.
Im not gonna sit here and be like, Im in love with you.
She also told him, I really, really like you.
But … am I there yet?
Joey said it was scary to hear he and Daisy werent totally aligned.
But then, she explained why she had reservations about Hometowns.
The heart-to-heart seemed to resonate with Joey, and he ultimately gave her a rose.
Maria broached these concerns with Joey after the date, but he tried to assuage her.
You always discredit what we have, what we could have … youre doing it right now.
Still, Maria said she wasnt sure if she could continue on the show.
She stepped away and collected herself, but the uncertainty still left Joey startled.
It seemed like you were just about to walk out, he said.
If you felt the way that I felt, there would be no way you would be doing that.
Joey also heard from the other women about the prospect of Hometowns.
Rachel Nance was confident about the potential relationship milestone.
Joey talked to Kelsey T., too, who shared that her dad didnt know she was onThe Bachelor.
(During last weeks one-on-one, she explained that religion caused a major rift between them.)
What he thinks is best and what I think is best is just too different, she said.
Needing more time to think, he didnt give out a rose during the group date.
Joey & Kelsey A.
Later at dinner, Kelsey opened up about getting closer to her dad after her moms passing.
Their one-on-one dinner led to the best conversation weve ever had, Joey said in a confessional.
After the date, it seemed that Kelsey could very well be the front-runner for Joeys final rose.
This left Jenn, Kelsey T., Maria, and Rachel the four women without a rose shaken.
Sadly, that fear was confirmed.
Joey told Kelsey he appreciated her before she rode away, seemingly speechless on the car ride home.
Jenn, for her part, was similarly baffled.
I know we would have been amazing together, she said in her own exit interview.
I know that we would have been so happy.
