What has happened so far on The Bachelor season 28?

The premiere episode of the show's season 28 had a fiery start, as 32 women were seen gearing up to fight for Joey's heart. The group included a pair of sisters- Allison and Lauren, who became the topic of discussion among fans. Allison made a great start as she got a kiss from Joey, which put Lauren off, but she hung around till she decided to leave in episode two.

Lea was offered a black card, which allowed her to steal a one-on-one date from any of her co-contestants whenever she pleased, but she chucked the card in the fire, stating she wouldn't need to steal Joey from another girl if her love was true. The end of the episode saw her getting the precious first impression rose and a kiss from Joey.

The second episode divided the ladies into two groups. Group one went on a wedding-themed group date, where the ladies had to dress like brides and win a game of musical chairs to secure the bride's spot next to the groom, Joey. Lauren and Maria secured the coveted spots next to Joey, and Jess became the one to win the date rose.

The second group played a "paintball" fight, which was hosted by The Bachelor alumni Demi Burnett and Jubilee Sharpe. The ladies fought to steal and protect Joey Graziadei's heart, represented by a plush toy. Edwina's competitive performance got noticed and earned her a winning rose.

The episode also saw Joey and Daisy go on a grand one-on-one date. The couple went on a concert date on a chopper, before heading to a fancy dinner. Now, it is up to the fans to see who gets lucky with Joey's one-on-one date on episode 3.
