Dancing with the Stars Season 33 contestants Ilona Maher and Joey Graziadei posted a funny TikTok over the weekend in which Graziadei trains Maher to be the next star of The Bachelorette. It looks like she might need a little more practice.
Joey Graziadei Trains Ilona Maher to Be Bachelorette
“Joey teaching me to be the next Bachelorette cause y’all keep spreading rumors,” Maher wrote on the new TikTok video, in which wears an off-the-shoulder black dress and holding a rose.
She and Graziadei can be seen practicing a fake rose ceremony, as she tells the men competing, “This has been so fun, and you all are beautiful. But I don’t like all of you.” Graziadei stops her, suggesting that she rephrase things. She says instead, “You’re not all ugly, but some of you just aren’t my type.”
Then they practice handing out a rose, with Graziadei pretending to be a contestant. The awkwardness continues, with Maher eventually asking Graziadei, “Take rose?” As he wrote in the video’s comments, “I think she’s ready!!!”
The skit is in response to Maher being asked in interviews if she’s interested in being on The Bachelorette. She jokingly told Good Morning America, “I will do that for America. I will date 30 men for America if that’s what you want to see.”

Graziadei Competed on The Bachelor
Graziadei knows a thing or two about rose ceremonies. He was the runner-up on Season 20 of The Bachelorette, starring former DWTS contestant Charity Lawson. He went on to become the star of The Bachelor Season 28, which aired earlier this year.
During the season, Graziadei chose Kelsey Anderson as the winner, and the pair got engaged. The couple recently celebrated their one-year anniversary, with Graziadei posting a tribute to Anderson on Instagram.
“I know sitting and anxiously watching me dance on live TV probably wasn’t how you thought we’d spend our first anniversary, but I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your support,” Graziadei wrote.
