Molly Mesnick, after a five-year hiatus from watching “The Bachelor” franchise, has expressed her enthusiasm for Season 28’s lead, Joey Graziadei, following a personal encounter with him at a wedding event. She praises Joey’s listening skills and genuine interest in the contestants, attributing these qualities to his profession as a tennis instructor, and also shares her skepticism about contestants falling in love during the show, emphasizing that true love develops in the real world post-production.
Molly Mesnick, after a five-year hiatus from watching “The Bachelor,” is now fully invested in season 28 lead Joey Graziadei, praising his genuine nature and listening skills, influenced by his profession as a tennis instructor.
Oh, Molly Mesnick is back in the game after a five-year hiatus from the franchise. She’s totally rooting for Joey Graziadei this season. Last time she tuned in was for Colton’s season. It’s not that she’s turned her back on the show or anything. Life’s just been… busy, you know? Kids, chores, and a gazillion other things eating up every minute of those two-hour weekly episodes.
But then, bam! The Golden Wedding happened. That’s where she and Joey crossed paths. Funny thing, she had no clue who he was. Had to be nudged about his name before even saying hi. Imagine that!
Meeting Joey was a game-changer for Molly and her hubby, Jason Mesnick. Yep, the same Jason from season 13. They hit it off with Joey, who turned out to be this super chill tennis pro. Jason even golfed with him. Said he’s the coolest guy around. So genuine, so warm. Molly was sold, especially after Joey convinced her to give his season a watch. He promised it was worth it, and Molly, well, she took his word for it.
Speaking of Jason and Molly, they’ve got quite the story. Met on the show, got engaged, and the rest is history. They even tied the knot on TV, but without the usual commercial breaks. Their wedding was the real deal, no retakes or interruptions. They made sure of it, wanted it to feel authentic. And it did, unlike some of the more recent Bachelor weddings. Molly mentioned how these days, it feels a bit different, with a heavier Bachelor crowd than family and friends. But hey, times change, right?
Fast forward, and Molly’s all in on Joey’s season. She’s convinced he’s an amazing Bachelor, thanks to his day job as a tennis instructor. Makes sense if you think about it. Those guys are like therapists, always listening, always there for you. Joey’s got that vibe, making everyone feel heard and understood. No wonder Molly’s impressed.
There’s talk in Bachelor Nation about Daisy being a frontrunner. Molly agrees. Thinks Daisy’s the real deal, sweet and genuine. If she doesn’t win Joey’s heart, she’s definitely Bachelorette material.
But here’s the kicker – Molly’s pretty sure Joey isn’t in love. Not yet. She’s been there, done that, and knows the show’s drill. Real love happens away from the cameras, in the real world. That’s where you truly get to know someone, without the pressure, without the drama.
Molly and Jason are proof that love can blossom in the most unexpected places. They’ve lived through the Bachelor experience, survived the ups and downs, and came out stronger on the other side. Now, they’re tuning in to see if Joey can do the same.
