AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'The Bachelor' Season 28 star Joey Graziadei advanced his final two women, Daisy Kent and Kelsey Anderson, to the finale rose ceremony. Joey eliminated Rachel Nance after he couldn't feel a genuine connection with her. However, Kelsey's letter's mystery was also finally unveiled and the viewers were convinced that the drama was fake.

Kelsey previously left a 'we need to talk' note at Joey's hotel room door, and he broke down in tears after receiving the letter. Joey was scared that Kelsey would self-eliminate herself from the ABC show. In the latest episode, Kelsey met Joey and said she "really cares about you" and "just wanted to tell you how much I miss you when you’re not there."

Kelsey noticed that Joey nearly passed out from stress and relief. Joey broke down crying tears of relief as Kelsey apologized and told him that she wanted to meet his family. Kelsey's confession was revealed as no big drama as the teaser previously hyped it up. However, the viewers left disappointed and slammed Kelsey for writing the note in the first place.

A social media user tweeted, "The letter was so fake. Such dumb drama." Another person added, "Why did Kelsey write that letter…what was the bonus amount the producers offered her for writing a cryptic message and putting it on the door??? I don’t like this.." Another critic said, "Oh please, Kelsey was playing games when she wrote that letter. She needed to get the shock value in. There's no other excuse whatsoever. That's called manipulation."

Another internet user penned, "The letter from Kelsey was such unnecessary producer manipulation… and Joey was shaken by it for no reason." Another X user wrote, "This note saga was worse than the time they hyped up Catherine's note to Sean and it was literally a love letter. Producers do better!!!" Another viewer stated, "All that built up suspense after he got the letter for NOTHING?!!"
