Grant Ellis probably felt like he won the lottery when he was cast asThe Bachelor, but I think he may regret accepting the role. Grant, a 31-year-old day trader and former basketball player from New Jersey, had appeared on a reality dating show once before. He made his television debut as one of the men dating Jenn Tran duringThe Bacheloretteseason 21. When Jenn eliminated Grant before hometown dates, he was cast asThe Bachelor. Though it must have seemed like a great consolation prize, I think Grant may regret beingThe Bachelor.
After his showing onThe Bacheloretteseason 21, I was sure Grant would be great inThe Bachelorseason 29. He seemed to have the perfect personality for a Bachelor franchise lead. I was surprised he was floundering from day one and throughout the season. He made several questionable decisions;Granteliminated some of the women he seemed to connect with while struggling with some of the women he keptaround. With Grant down to his final three women, I think he may come to regret agreeing to beThe Bachelor.
Grant’s Season Hasn’t Been The Best One
Afraid Of Making The Wrong Choice
It’s hard to say why I haven’t likedThe Bachelorseason 29 as much as past seasons.The Bachelorseason 28was a tough act to follow. Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are engaged and madly in love. Last season was great, so I had high hopes for Grant’s season. There was plenty of drama, but Grant doesn’t seem to know what he wants. He waffled so much, andhis affections swung wildly on and off. Before the season, Grant toldPeoplehe was afraid of making “bad decisions,“but I think his caution may keep him from finding love.
Grant Can’t Seem To Make Any Strong Connections With Any OF The Women
He Sent Home Two Great Options
If you had asked me who the two early front-runners were, I would have said Alexe Godin and Dina Lupinco. Grant liked Alexe from the moment she walked up to the mansion with her llama, Linda. Grantgave her the highly-coveted first impression rose and the first solo date. I was convinced Alexe was the one for Grant, but Grant eliminated her before hometown dates. As for Dina, she’s someone who Grant genuinely seemed to deeply admire. He sent her home after her hometown date.
20 Best Reality TV Dating Shows
Reality TV dating has become a complex and nuanced part of the genre, welcoming all different types of dating shows. Here are the 20 best!
Grant hashad challenges with each of the three remaining women. He barely seemed to notice 27-year-old Zoe McGrady throughout the season and didn’t have much of a connection with the engineer/model. He’s physically attracted to 28-year-old client service associate Juliana Pasquarosa, but their relationship has stayed at a surface level. I think he likes31-year-old venture capitalist Litia Garrthe most, but he’s worried that her being a devout Mormon may make things hard. During past seasons ofBachelorfranchise shows, I’d usually have an idea of who was winning, but Grant is inscrutable.
Grant Doesn’t Know Who To Choose In The Finale
He May Not Even Get Engaged
Any ofGrant’s final three womencould win his final rose, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he walked away without handing it out.The Bachelorseason 29 trailer, whichBachelor Nationposted to YouTube, ends with Grant appearing confused during the final rose ceremony. When host Jesse Palmer asks him if he’s ready to choose between the final two women, Grant says, “The truth is, I don’t know.” If Grant gets engaged to the wrong woman, he’ll regret being on the show, but he’ll also regret it if he walks away empty-handed.
