AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: 'The Bachelor' Season 28 star Rachel Nance got eliminated in 'Women Tell All'. Joey Graziadei confessed that he couldn't connect with her as much as she connected with him. 

Joey believed he was falling in love with Daisy Kent and Kelsey Anderson and was not there with Rachel. He eliminated Rachel, saying, "You did everything I could ask." 

After Joey eliminated Rachel in the rose ceremony ahead of the finale episode, she hugged Daisy and Kelsey and broke down into tears.

As Joey walked Rachel out, she said, "You can see how much love was there between the two of us." "I think I really did open up as much as I did at the time," Rachel accepted.

A fan showed his concern toward Rachel "I honestly feel bad for Rachel but it’s like you can’t blame Joey for not being where you want him to be emotionally." Another claimed, "The way Joey said goodbye to Rachel got me."

One fan tweeted, "Can see Joey and Rachel had a genuine connection but one that would never reach husband & wife level." "Keep your head up Rachel, you did nothing wrong girl. You deserve the best," wrote one. A fan tweeted, "TheBachelor something has me really sad about Rachel, maybe it’s because her feelings were way too relatable…not feeling enough."

'The Bachelor' Season 28 star Rachel Nance reflects on online hate

During the 'Women Tell All' episode, Rachel sobbed as she said she had been receiving hateful messages on social media. Ever since Hometowns, Rachel started receiving racist comments.

Rachel confessed that it was hard for her and her family to watch the show. Clapping back at the hate, host Jesse Palmer said to the trolls, "Do better."

Disappointed fans wrote, "I’m really disappointed in BachelorNation right now. Learning about how much racist hate comments Rachel received is sickening." Another claimed, "I hate that Rachel had to share the horrific things she’s been experiencing in order for Bachelor Nation to finally give her, her flowers. She’s been amazing since Day 1 and your biases led you to overlook her all season. And stop blaming the edit."
