‘Bachelor’ Alum Joey Graziadei Gives Grant Ellis His No. 1 Piece of Advice for Finding Love on TV

The Bachelor season 28 lead Joey Graziadei returns to the show to help season 29’s Grant Ellis sort through some difficult love decisions.

“This week is a lot harder than I expected it to be, so I need Joey’s advice because he’s done this before,” Grant, 31, explained in a clip from the Monday, March 3, episode where he just returned from hometown dates and needed to let one contestant go.

“It’s been emotionally taxing,” Grant admitted to Joey, 29, about his four hometown dates. “I wish I knew that I was gonna develop feelings but I didn’t expect them to be so deep.”

The Pennsylvania native listened deeply over beers and responded, “I think the biggest thing is, take a beat when you feel something. Your words are gonna hold so much weight over these next couple of weeks.”

After eliminating one contestant at that evening’s rose ceremony, Grant will head to the Dominican Republic with his three finalists, one of which could become his fiancée.

“I am a little bit nervous, because my greatest fear is that I end up alone,” Grant confided to Joey.

When the former tennis instructor asked if the rose ceremony was that evening, Grant responded that it was and explained, “Rose ceremonies are always the hardest. And tonight it’s going to be one of the hardest decisions I’ve made.”
