Who are Joey Graziadei's Final two women? 'The Bachelor' Season 28 fans fume over Kelsey Anderson's 'fake' letter
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?!!"

Kelsey Anderson regrets sending a letter to Joey Graziadei
Kelsey Anderson instantly regretted her decision to send a letter after Joey Graziadei told her that it "sucked" to feel like she was going to leave. Kelsey admitted in a confessional that she didn't intend to scare or stress him out.
Kelsey claimed that it scared her to see Joey stressed like that and she was worried about the upcoming rose ceremony. She said, "It wasn’t my intention to feel scared or have any stress, but he looks like he’s about to cry." Despite the letter drama, Joey awarded his Fantasy Suite rose to Kelsey.
Joey Graziadei's emotional 'The Bachelor' Season 28 finale
During the 'The Bachelor' Season 28 Women Tell All, ABC show host Jesse Palmer sent Joey Graziadei and explained to the audience that he made him leave because they were about to watch a "heartwrenching" sneak peek that he didn't want to make Joey relive.
In the teaser of the upcoming dramatic finale, Joey was seen discussing his relationships with his sisters and his mom before Daisy said that there was "something off" with her and Joey. Meanwhile, Kelsey admitted before breaking down into tears, "It's getting more real and it's terrifying." Joey was then spotted sobbing on the beach as a car drove away. He tearfully said, "I didn't expect it to go that way."
'The Bachelor' Season 28 finale will air on Monday, March 25 at 8 pm ET on ABC.
