Chrissa Perez became the first-ever Abbotsford resident to earn a rose on ABC鈥檚 The Bachelor, impressing 28-year-old Joey Graziadei enough to survive another week and continue fighting for his attention.

The 28th season of the show began on Monday (Jan. 22).
鈥淵ou look so handsome,鈥� she stated following the hug.
