<p id=”par-3_59″><em>The Bachelor </em>Season 28 star Rachel Nance has become a fan favorite this season. Rachel is from Hawaii, where Joey Graziadei lived for several years, and Joey adores her playful and humorous personality. As the season continues, Rachel comes out of her shell while ignoring <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-bachelor-season-28-sydney-gordon-comments-drama-elimination-didnt-know-feel-low.html/”>the drama between the other women</a>, making her an even more powerful contender. </p>
<p id=”par-4_71″>Unfortunately, Rachel posted about an injury she received while on the show. On Feb. 13, 2024, she posted a photo of herself to her <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/stories/rachelmariean/3301865223923452719/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram Stories</a> showing her wrist in a brace. “True story: I was injured an hour before we headed to Malta because of a ridiculous fall,” she wrote. “The first thing I said was, ‘I’m still going, right?’” She added a crying-laughing emoji and a cartwheel emoji. </p>
<p id=”par-5_53″>Thankfully, the fall wasn’t serious, as Rachel made it to Malta with the remaining women. Spoilers say she also makes it through the fourth rose ceremony and heads to Marbella, Spain, where she has her first one-on-one with Joey. A preview for episode 5 shows Rachel and Joey dancing during their one-on-one. </p>
<p id=”par-6_15″>“He is the man of my dreams,” her voiceover states. “I’m falling for him.” </p>

You know, just a brown girl from Hawaii, immigrant from the Phillippines, girl with curly hair. I used to struggle for years with loving my features, loving the color of my skin, loving my hair, and now I’m at a place where I just love who I am. I love that I’m now able to be that girl on TV that I wish I saw when I was younger.”</p>
