Joey Graziadei, a contestant from “The Bachelor,” has become a topic of discussion in Bachelor Nation for his viral moments and comments, such as confusing Malta for a city and mixing up Gypsy Rose Blanchard with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for which he has taken responsibility and apologized. Additionally, concerns about the discoloration of his eyes have prompted social media speculation, to which Joey plans to address in a forthcoming video, aiming to provide more insight into the matter.
Joey Graziadei, a contestant on “The Bachelor,” acknowledges the public’s engagement and humor in his viral moments, including confusing Gypsy Rose Blanchard with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and addressing concerns about his eyes, while contributing to the show’s high ratings and remaining humble about his role in its success.
Joey Graziadei? Oh, he’s totally tuned into what Bachelor Nation’s buzzing about. You know, the chatter, the memes, the whole shebang. And, boy, did *Us Weekly* get a kick out of chatting him up this Thursday, February 22. They dove right into his viral moments, starting with his Malta mix-up. Malta, with its “old-school vibe,” caught Joey a bit off guard.
“I’ve seen all sorts of stuff,” Joey admitted. He’s cool with being the punchline sometimes. “As for Malta’s vibes, yeah, I knew it was ancient. Just didn’t expect the, um, critiques, you know? But hey, laugh it off, right?”
Then there was that oops moment. Joey got Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ruth Bader Ginsburg mixed up. Yeah, the one’s a recently freed convict, and the other was a Supreme Court Justice. “The RGB mix-up, totally my bad. I own it,” Joey confessed. (He did apologize later, making it clear he’s got the two figured out now.)
And then there’s Joey’s eyes. People noticed something off on social media. Was it a health thing? “About my eyes,” Joey said, “I’m thinking of explaining it all in a video soon. There’s a reason behind it, and I’ll share when it’s time.”
Switching gears, did you catch that viral dolphin costume moment? Bachelor Nation sure knows how to keep things interesting. And speaking of interesting, Joey’s season is pulling in viewers like crazy. The ratings are sky-high, and the ladies? They’re gaining followers at a pace not seen since Matt James’ season in 2021.
When *Us Weekly* suggested Joey should take some credit for the franchise’s success, he stayed humble. “Thanks, but no thanks,” he said. “It’s not about me. It’s the women who are amazing. It’s the authenticity this season, the real stories and connections forming. That’s what’s got people hooked.”
And just when you thought you knew all about *The Bachelor*, they tease an “unprecedented ending” coming this March. Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, don’t miss it. Because, seriously, who knows what’ll happen next?
