Joey previously teased that the ending of his season was “unprecedented” and made history for The Bachelor franchise.
In addition to Joey’s teasers, The Bachelor has aired preview clips of Joey looking distraught before handing out his final rose, allowing fans to run wild with theories and speculation, including concern that Joey’s journey to find love may have ended with him leaving Mexico single and alone.
At The Bachelor: The Women Tell All taping, Us Weekly asked Joey how he’s feeling with the finale fast approaching and whether he’s worried about any backlash regarding his final choice between Daisy and Kelsey.
“I can’t even tell you if there was a choice — you know that!” Joey told the magazine with a smile.
“But it’s always like I have a level of excitement because I am ready to get to being back to Joey again. Joey, the Bachelor, has been so fun, but this is a lot it — it’s a lot to go through. It’s a lot to take in from time to time.”
Joey said he’s “just ready” for The Bachelor viewers to have their “answer,” adding that he’s ready to have “everything be out there.”
Joey continued, “Whatever happened, whatever people think, all these different theories, I’m ready for it to all be [put] to rest. And I can kind of know and have whatever it was be coming out and then we can just kind of move forward.”
In a preview of the finale that aired during The Women Tell All special on Monday night, Joey was shown crying and then hopping in an SUV while his final rose was still resting on the podium at the Final Rose Ceremony.
“That was crazy. I didn’t expect that at all,” Joey says in the clip.
“I can’t think that’s happened before. I don’t even know what to say. I know I gave as much as I could. I’m sick of feeling like this. It feels wrong, but I don’t know what to do.”

Many fans are speculating whether one of Joey’s Final 2 bachelorettes quit on him, or if one of his former bachelorettes returned.
The Bachelor spoilers have also been unreliable for fans. Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone reported one winner late last year, and he suddenly changed the identity of Joey’s alleged winner last month.
Some fans believe Joey had accidentally spoiled the ending of his season earlier this year and that he selected Kelsey.
Joey and Kelsey had posted separate TikTok videos of themselves, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that the backgrounds in such videos appeared to be of a safe house The Bachelor franchise has used in the past for happy-couple visits post-filming.
While Joey and Kelsey didn’t film themselves with the same exact items in the background, it appeared they were at the same safe house at the same time.
The safe house boasted a fenced-in pool, dark walnut kitchen cabinets, and a fluffy beige rug in the bedroom.
When asked about the Kelsey rumors, Joey recently told Us, “Obviously anything that comes out like that, I can’t really speak on it. I know people are really trying to figure out what’s going on.”
He added, “Yeah, I can’t speak to anything that’s sent because it’s not really something that I’m paying attention to.”
It’s also widely believed that The Bachelorette alum Jason Tartick had accidentally spoiled Joey’s The Bachelor winner.
