Joey Graziadei hosted an exhilarating night at T-Squared Social in NYC, bringing together tastemakers to celebrate in advance of 'The Bachelor' season premiere.

After finishing The Bachelorette as Charity Lawson's runner-up, Joey Graziadei is the lead for Season 28 of The Bachelor. Graziadei's season premiered on Monday, Jan. 22, and fans collectively agreed: It's incredibly awkward that sisters are competing for his love.

Viewers were introduced to the Season 28 contestants during Monday's premiere, during which Graziadei met a woman named Allison, 26, shortly followed by her older sister, Lauren, 28. In confessionals, the Hollinger sisters shared they wanted to initially keep their family relationship a secret so Graziadei could form his own opinions about them as individuals. This also meant not telling the other women they're sisters.

"I am living for the sisters pretending not to know each other," one Twitter (formerly) X user wrote in response to Allison and Lauren "introducing" themselves to each other.

Another X user wrote, "The sisters 'fake meeting' each other is STUPID cringy."

While some were amused over the initial ruse, others couldn't get past the fact that siblings were competing for the same guy.

One X user wrote, "PLSSS NOT THE SISTERS KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY."

Another person tweeted, "Ummm there are sisters here?!?"

Meanwhile, someone else declared, "Ok this older sister/ younger sister thing is weirder than the twins a few years ago."

Yet another person exclaimed, "Sisters?! ABC is wrong for this."

Still other fans thought Allison and Lauren's competitive nature was off-putting.

One X user wrote, "The sisters feel more like they’re competing with each other than actually pursuing Joey."

Another declared, "The sisters need therapy NOT the bachelor."

However the show pans out, hopefully, the sisters will leave the show on speaking terms!
