Who did Joey Graziadei save during first rose ceremony? Fans slam 'The Bachelor' 2024 star for picking Hollinger sisters

The furious fans exclaimed that none of the Hollinger sisters deserved to be in the next round.

AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'The Bachelor' season 28 Joey Graziadei awarded roses to his 22 suitors during the first rose ceremony as he continued his search for his perfect match and forever partner.

Joey gave Lea the First Impression Rose after she turned down her date advantage card. Besides Lea, Daisy, Lexi, Jenn, Jess, Autumn, Chrissa, Katelyn, and Kelsey as well as Edwina, Rachel, Erika, Madina and Sydney advanced to the next round.

Evalin, Starr, Marlena, Maria and Taylor were the other contestants who received Joey's rose. However, Allison Hollinger received the first rose during the ceremony leaving her sister Lauren disappointed.

Lauren was last to get the rose and was left furious over Allison's rose and said, "You did not get the first rose," adding, "Go f**k yourself."

Meanwhile, the furious fans exclaimed that none of the Hollinger sisters deserved to be in the next round.

A social media user tweeted, "Why are two sisters on the show 😑." Another person added, "Sisters. Another 2 people who are there only for producers to have their drama. It really sucks that it comes to that every season. #TheBachelor maybe producers should get a life instead of messing up other people's imo."

Another critic noted, "Can we vote the sisters off the island !? please 🙏🏻." An internet user penned, "We know the producers told him to keep both sisters."

A furious viewer said, "Keeping the sister is dumb lol. I know he did it because the producers told him to. He does not like that girl 🙄."

Who all eliminated during 'The Bachelor' Season 28 first rose ceremony?

On the initial night of 'The Bachelor' Season 28, ten contestants were eliminated. Zoe Antona's attempt to make an impression on Joey with a tray of bananas in various sizes appeared unsuccessful.

Despite Joey commending Zoe's bold move and her question about which banana he resonated with, she was eliminated during the first rose ceremony.

Pro football cheerleader Samantha Washington was another contestant who was eliminated despite her flirty move. She tossed Joey some dough and told him, "I’m the one that you knead."

Meanwhile, another eliminated contestant, Chandler Dewgard, arrived with a 'Friends' joke about their names and told Joey, "I'll be there for you."

However, Kayla Rodgers' fake orgasm noises which she said were "tennis grunts" also didn't help her advance to the next round.

Kyra Brusch, Lanie Latsios, Nat Crepeau, Sam Hale, Talyah Jackson, and Sandra Rabadi were the other ABC show contestants who bid adieu during 'The Bachelor' Season 28 first rose ceremony.

Joey Graziadei complaints about the rose ceremony

'The Bachelor' Season 28 star Joey Graziadei was all set to find love on the ABC show but revealed he had never been a fan of rose ceremonies and breaking hearts in the process.

In an interview with People, Joey shared that "it sucks" regarding handing our roses and having to send women home.

He added, "It's not fun to be that guy. The rose ceremonies are the hardest part, especially on night 1, because you don’t even get the chance to talk to everyone."

Joey further said, "It's not a fun position to be in. There’s no way someone enjoys that part." he also shared that he had one goal in mind when handing out roses, which was, "To be as compassionate as possible and go with my gut."

'The Bachelor' Season 28 airs episodes every Monday at 8 pm ET on ABC, and is available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
