Internet calls ‘The Bachelor’ star Joey Graziedei 'brainless' for picking Jess over Lauren for group rose date

Fans of the show were upset as they believed that Joey had missed a perfect opportunity to choose Lauren who had opened up emotionally to him

AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'The Bachelor' Season 28 viewers have been calling out the star of the ABC show, Joey Graziedei, for picking the 'villain' of the season Jess aka Jessica Edwards over Lauren for the 'group date' rose. Fans of the show took to the internet to express their disappointment over Joey's decision to give a rose to one of the season's most controversial contestants.

Many viewers were quick to point out that Jess had been portrayed as a villain right from the first episode and that her actions and behavior had not endeared her to the other contestants or the show's fans. Fans of the show were also particularly upset as they believed that Joey had missed a perfect opportunity to choose Lauren, who had opened up emotionally to him and seemed to connect with him on a deeper level.

Many viewers felt that Lauren deserved the rose and that Joey's decision to give it to Jess, who had already received the first impression rose, was a mistake. The internet was abuzz with comments and posts from angry fans who called Joey 'brainless' for his decision and criticized his judgment. It remains to be seen how this will affect Joey's chances of finding love on the show, but one thing is clear: the fans are not happy with his decision!

Taking to Twitter, viewers shared how they couldn't believe Joey chose Jess over Lauren and that she only got it owing to the 'villain' arc she had created so far on the show. "Of course, Jess got the group date rose. It’s right on track with her villain arc. We’ve been through this before," wrote a user.

Others called out her hypocrisy for getting the rose after fake crying. "Jess getting the group date rose because she was mad she wasn’t getting time and decided to cry??" said one. "Jess getting the group date rose after the strategic trauma dump," added another. 

Others took a sly jab at Maria for not getting the rose despite her outfit change on the show. "Maria watching Joey pick up the group date rose," said one. "I’m sorry but Maria should’ve gotten the group date rose for the outfit change," added another. Some even called Joey 'brainless' for his decision. One user wrote, "Ugh i thought this one wouldn’t be brainless and then he chose jess."
