Collegeville native Joey Graziadei returned to The Bachelor to offer dating advice to current lead Grant Ellis, helping him reduce the contestants to three, writes Franki Rudnesky for the Philly Voice.
On Monday’s episode, Ellis met with Graziadei, who gave his final rose to now-fiancée Kelsey Anderson last year, at a Los Angeles brewery. Ellis had just completed his cross-country visits to the hometowns of the remaining four contestants, and Graziadei was happy to share some of his insight as this year’s season nears its end.
“This is the week where it hits,” said Graziadei. “I think the biggest thing is, take a beat when you feel something. You have to give it time.”
Ellis said he was surprised to find he had developed deep feelings for multiple women, something Joey Graziadei empathized with. He shared that he couldn’t make his final decision until Anderson met his family and had spent some time alone with her away from the cameras.
He also told Ellis that while sending women home gets harder each week, he could help.
“I will tell you this from being in your shoes: the gut feelings, you have to listen to them,” said Graziadei.
