MONTREAL, CANADA: Joey Graziadei and the women vying for his heart appear increasingly unhappy as 'The Bachelor' Season 28 unfolds. The latest episode was deemed the most "depressed" yet, with neither Joey displaying that spark on his face nor the women expressing happiness.

During a group date with eight women, emotions ran high as tears flowed. Each woman confessed their concerns about not getting a one-on-one chance with Joey. Moreover, many welled up while expressing their feelings of love for him.

Seeing no one happy on the group date, a fan questioned, "why is everyone so depressed as if this is not the premise of the show????" Another noticed, "Everyone including Joey is having such a hard time , and it makes me sad. There’s so much emotion involved in this season."

A fan uploaded a gif saying "The theme of tonight is: Depression." Another wrote, "This is becoming an awkward group date." Another called out the women, "Nawt the dramatic irony of the girls being sad bc they like Joey so much and Joey thinking they’re sad bc they don’t like him."

A fan suggested to Joey, "This group date is so awkward, he could send home half of them."

'The Bachelor' Season 28 star Joey Graziadei sends Jess Edwards home after group date

Joey didn't feel a connection with Jess Edwards, despite her claim of falling in love. He thought it was better for her to go home as he didn't see any spark between them.

Fans believe Jess invested most of her time focusing on the feud with Maria Georgas instead of spending quality time with Joey. When Jess confessed, "I'm falling for you," Joey turned her down, stating, "I don't feel the same way." He didn't hesitate or seem upset after Jess' departure.
