Joey Graziadei Breaks Bachelor Nation Record?

Season 28 of The Bachelor kicked off on Monday, January 22. The premiere was full of drama, especially surrounding Lea Cayanan‘s secret envelope.

She ended up burning the contents, which would have allowed her to ‘steal’ one-on-one dates. Her selfless act earned her the first impression rose… and a kiss.

The official Bachelor Instagram posted a series of snapshots of Joey kissing multiple women in the premiere with the caption “breakin’ records,” followed by three lip emojis.

All told, the Bachelor lead kissed seven women on Night 1. Is it really a record? One fan debated it in the comments by saying that Arie Luyendyk kissed all of his contestants except one.

  • I paused and rewinded this dvd so many times so I could learn the Peter Panda dance.
  • that’s a  solid “2 truths and a lie” idea lmao
  • Lmao I was oddly obsessed with this movie for like 3 months when it first came out
