I've Changed My Mind, The Bachelor Season 29's Grant Ellis Didn't Trick Litia & Juliana On Purpose (I Think He Stayed True To Himself)

Juliana, who was born and raised in Massachusetts, was hopeful about Grant from the beginning of The Bachelor. While Juliana wasn't entirely certain when she met the ex-professional basketballer turned day trader, Grant's time getting to know her on The Bachelor made it clear that he was who she was looking for. Throughout the season, Juliana's social media presence made her tough to root for, but it was clear that her time on screen was different from what Bachelor Nation saw off-screen. Grant had a tough time coming to a conclusion, but I think he stayed true to his gut.

Grant's People Pleasing Personality Is Just Who He Is

He's Always Trying To Make Sure No One's Hurt

Grant was a people pleaser throughout the season, which was never more clear than when he was facing a rose ceremony. As Grant moved through his season, he developed connections with some women while struggling to connect with others. Grant was able to move through the first episodes fairly seamlessly, but he quickly became cognizant of the women he was letting go of feeling more pain as the season went on. By the time he got to the end of the season, Grant people-pleased Litia Garr all the way to the finale, not wanting to hurt her feelings with rejection.

Litia Probably Feels Like She Was Tricked

She's Not Happy About Grant's Behavior

As the final episode of The Bachelor season 29 came to a close, Litia was gearing up to give Grant a piece of her mind about what had transpired between them during the finale. During the live finale aftershow, Litia questioned Grant's decision about letting her go because of the way he'd spoken to her as recently as the night before the finale. Sharing that Grant had led her to believe that she was going to be his final choice, Litia made it clear that she was shocked by his choice, and found herself questioning Grant's character in the aftermath.

Will Grant Really Marry Juliana?

There Are Some Red Flags Waving

As The Bachelor season 29 came to a close, Grant chose Juliana, proposed, and the two have begun their descent into happily ever after. Unfortunately, Grant and Litia's shocking end and Grant's surprise with Juliana shook Bachelor Nation to its core, which meant it took some time for viewers of the show to process what they'd just seen. As Grant and Juliana have been moving forward, Bachelor viewers have had a hard time wrapping their mind around the fact that the couple are happily engaged and making moves toward marriage.
