In a series of slides, Carbone began, "Joey's Finale Spoilers (UPDATED)."
According to Carbone, Kelsey Anderson, a 25-year-old junior project manager from New Orleans, LA, won Joey's heart and ended up with The Bachelor star, not Daisy Kent, a 25-year-old account executive from Becker, MN.

"Back in November, I had reported that Joey was engaged to Daisy. That spoiler was wrong. Joey is engaged to Kelsey A. and has been since filming ended," Carbone explained.
Carbone admitted there was "a lot to unpack" and he anticipates fans will "have a lot of questions" for him.
Carbone anticipates a flood of questions because he was absolutely convinced Daisy had won Joey's heart. He reported all the way back on November 30 that Joey had picked Daisy as his The Bachelor winner and that the couple got engaged at the Final Rose Ceremony of Season 28.
"Just like every season, people will question, people will doubt, and contestants will post stuff on social media to throw fans off. Happens every season. This one will be no different," Carbone claimed late last year.
"But come finale night, this is what you'll see. Joey and Daisy got engaged in Tulum, Mexico at the end of the season. Obviously the finale won't air until mid-March so who knows what can happen in the next four months. But this is how the season ended."

Carbone had also reported that Kelsey A. finished in second place and left the show heartbroken, and that Rachel Nance, a 26-year-old ICU nurse from Honolulu, HI, claimed third place.
Carbone stood by his spoilers for three months, but then on February 21, he responded to photo evidence that had surfaced on social media showing Kelsey A. may actually have been the bachelorette to end up with Joey.
Joey and Kelsey A. recently posted separate TikTok videos of themselves, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that the backgrounds in such videos appear to be of a safe house The Bachelor franchise has used in the past for happy-couple visits post-filming.

While Joey and Kelsey A. didn't film themselves with the same exact items in the background, it appears they were at the same safe house at the same time.

The safe house boasts a fenced-in pool, dark walnut kitchen cabinets, and a fluffy beige rug in the bedroom.
Screenshots of the footage have circulated online, and they've also been posted by The Bachelor spoiler Instagram accounts such as BachelorNation.scoop.
Carbone then changed his tune when discussing the possible evidence with his podcast listeners.
"Joey posted a TikTok and [Kelsey A.] posted a TikTok. I've seen the pictures, I'm very well aware of them. And what I'm going to tell you is I'm looking into it," Carbone admitted on February 21.
He added, "[I'll] let you know what I come up with. Because, for the first time, I fully admit I've finally -- finally -- been presented with some actual evidence."

And on February 22, Carbone called the Joey and Kelsey A. pictures "hard evidence."
In his Instagram slides on February 27, Carbone attempted to answer why he was so adamant that Daisy had won Joey's heart for three months.
"[It's] kind of an impossible question to answer without revealing sources, and, because there were so many layers involved," Carbone explained.
"I believed my info to be true. I always have confidence in my sources. This time it happened to be wrong."

Carbone said when information had been presented to him last week about Joey and Kelsey A.'s apparent Happy Couple weekend, he realized his original spoiler "was probably 98% wrong."
The spoiler blogger clarified, "[I] just wanted to see if that small [percentage] was maybe he picked Daisy in the end, but had since changed his mind."
But Carbone confirmed that's "not what happened" and Kelsey A. has been with Joey the entire time, since filming ended on The Bachelor's 28th season.
"Once the pictures came out last week and I realized the spoiler was mostly wrong, I then tried to find out over the weekend exactly what the 'unprecedented ending' was that I'd heard rumblings about a week ago," the spoiler blogger wrote via Instagram.
"Those rumblings ended up being right, just with the names reversed."
Carbone -- who also published a lengthy blog post about his shocking spoiler change -- is now asking himself, "Did ABC purposely plant the wrong spoiler? Did Joey and Kelsey WANT to get caught at the Happy Couple weekend house?"

Carbone noted he's "protecting" his sources, and he concluded, "Sucks to have the spoiler wrong for 3 months, but glad I was able to get it corrected. Congrats to Joey and Kelsey A. Sorry I couldn't have gotten this spoiler sooner."
The Bachelor's 28th season just featured Joey eliminating Jenn Tran and Kelsey Toussant in Jasper, Canada, which determined his Final 4 bachelorettes for hometown dates: Daisy, Kelsey A., Rachel, and Maria Georgas.
Two original spoilers have remained unchanged, that Maria placed fourth after hometowns and Rachel finished in third place after Fantasy Suites.
