Kelsey Anderson Revealed As Mystery Note Writer

ABC dropped a trailer a few weeks ago about the drama still to come on Season 28 of The Bachelor. The drama included a mysterious note left on Joey’s door. One of the three final women needed to talk to him, but who?

Fans broke down every possible scenario, including a theory that the note was written by multiple people. The writer of the note was revealed on the March 11 episode. As many fans suspected, Kelsey Anderson wrote the note. Why?

She had a heart-to-heart with Golden Bachelor runner-up Leslie Fhima before an overnight date with Joey. Leslie not only reached Kelsey’s heart but also got in her head. What does Kelsey need to talk to Joey about? Could she be thinking of self-eliminating? The last episode ended on a cliffhanger.

Viewers will have to tune in to the episode airing on March 18 to find out what Kelsey so urgently needs to discuss. But the show won’t be airing in its usual 8 PM timeslot.

Bachelor Schedule Change: When to Watch This Week

The Bachelor schedule for Season 28 has been pretty consistent, airing Mondays at 8 PM every week. But if you want to find out what goes down between Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei, you’re going to have to stay up a little later.

The episode airing on Monday, March 18, is still two hours. But it starts at 9 PM Eastern and wraps up at 11 PM. Why the late start?

In a word: Ozempic.

Famed talk show host Oprah Winfrey will host an hour-long sit-down discussion about the rise of weight loss drugs in recent years. An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution airs in the 8 PM timeslot. The special comes a month after Oprah left the Weight Watchers board of directors. She left the popular weight loss brand after admitting to using Ozempic to lose weight.

The March 18 episode of The Bachelor isn’t just about Joey and Kelsey’s talk. His rejected contestants will gather with Jesse Palmer to tell all. That’s right – The Women Tell All airs on Monday, March 18.

Viewers will also find out which women Joey eliminates next and which will be his final two.

Remember – The Bachelor airs at 9 PM Eastern this week. But if you miss it, you can always stream it on Hulu the next day.
