On February 27, Carbone publicly confirmed his original spoiler that Joey Graziadei had picked Daisy Kent as his winner was wrong and The Bachelor star had actually picked Kesley Anderson instead!
"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 wrote in an Instagram posting.
Carbone admitted there was "a lot to unpack" and he anticipated The Bachelor viewers would "have a lot of questions" for him.
"I believed my info to be true," he wrote. "I always have confidence in my sources. This time it happened to be wrong."
Carbone said he had realized his original spoiler "was probably 98% wrong" the moment he saw the apparent evidence of Joey and Kelsey A.'s apparent Happy Couple weekend.
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 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."
