Where does Joey Graziadei go for his hometown dates?
Hometown dates are a big deal in the Bachelor franchise.
It’s a chance for viewers to get an inside-look at what the contestants are really like outside of the mansion – and reality TV bubble – they’ve been living in for the last few months.
It’s also a chance for the Bachelor to meet the families and friends of the four women vying for a rose – and his heart.
Joey Graziadei reportedly went on four hometown dates with the final four contestants on his season.
His first hometown date was with Daisy Kent.
Despite Kent living and working in San Diego for the last few years, the duo went to her childhood home in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” Minnesota.
His second hometown date was with Kelsey Anderson.
Kelsey got to take Joey on a tour of the Big Easy, aka New Orleans, Louisiana.
Joey’s third hometown date was with Rachel Nance, and they ended up in a familiar place.
Rachel is a Hawaii native, while Joey relocated to the islands from Pennsylvania.
Rachel also lives and works in Honolulu on the Big Island of Oahu, while Joey works at a resort on Kauai.
Joey’s fourth hometown date meant leaving the warm weather behind and going up north.
He dusted off his passport to meet Maria Georgas and her family in Kleinburg, Ontario, Canada.
