TULUM, MEXICO: Season 28 of 'The Bachelor' has surely been different from previous seasons, for better or worse. However, fans seemed frustrated with one thing that has been constant, i.e., Jesse Palmer describing the finale as "most dramatic" like all its previous seasons.

Joey Graziadei's search for love resumed on March 25! But the most unexpected event of the night occurred a few minutes into the episode, when fans were greeted by Jesse, who stood in the dark and issued a stark and absurd warning about the upcoming finale.

Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the premiere episode of 'The Bachelor'. "Tonight, more history will be made," host Jesse said.

Jesse, the host, claimed that whatever occurs in tonight's finale has never happened before, but viewers are skeptical. On X, fans rolled their eyes as they tweet, "Jesse: What happens tonight has never happened before in bachelor history. Me:" Another user chimed in, "How many finales has Jesse told us it’s “the most intense/dramatic/unexpected” finale yet? I feel like what happens tonight is something we’ve all seen. More than once."



 



 

One user quipped, "jesse palmer after teasing a dramatic unpredictable ending every season." A fourth user pleaded, "Jesse stop saying that."



 



 

One frustrated viewer wrote, "If this isn’t actually the most dramatic finale of the Bachelor, I hope this live audience tears Jesse Palmer apart." "I’m sorry, Jesse needs to stop acting like Joey murders someone tonight," wrote another. 



 



 

Some wrote, "Jesse Palmer after saying something about, “THe mOsT drAmATic EPisOde iN BacHeLOr HiSToRY…” for the millionth time." Another added, "Jesse Palmer every final episode: this is the most dramatic ending in bachelor history Me knowing it won’t be:" 



 



 

Daisy Kent meets Joey Graziadei's family in 'The Bachelor' Season 28 finale

Daisy Kent was the first person to meet Joey's family in Tulum, Mexico. She expressed her excitement to show Joey's family who she is.

"I think my biggest fear is that they won't be able to see me completely for who I am and that they won't be able to understand why Joey and I are so good together," she added. "I need today to go well."

Daisy began to weep as she praised Joey's family for raising him into the guy he is today. Joey's sister, Ellie, stated that her initial impression was that the two were really in love.

Daisy was called away by the two sisters for a conversation. Daisy informed them that if he went down on one knee, she would agree to his proposal.

Joey's mother was seen in the live audience with her head in her hands during Joey and Daisy's emotional talk in the finale.
