Joey said he felt immediate chemistry with Kelsey A. during their first one-on-one date in Spain, but she began to struggle in Montreal, complaining that Joey wasn't giving her enough attention.

"You don't deserve to ever feel like you're in the background," Joey assured Kelsey A. "You can't be. It's impossible for you to be. You have this brightness about you that is so different, and you have this warmth around you."

Joey then calmed Kelsey A.'s fears by asking her to join him on a one-on-one date in Jasper, where he called their connection "magical," and then Kelsey A. secured a hometown date in Louisiana.

"I just know I could be happy every day if Kelsey A. is the person I'm with," Joey said in a confessional.

Joey received a stamp of approval from Kelsey A.'s beloved dad Mark, and Kelsey A. was shown telling her dad that she truly loved Joey.

"I want to blurt out that I love him. I am ready for whatever may come, and I'm ready to fight for him. I hope that he feels the same way," Kelsey told The Bachelor cameras.

Kelsey A., however, doesn't have deep roots in New Orleans, and so she'd be willing to move for love.
