Jesse Palmer’s Chilling Message to Bachelor 29 Women Amid Producer Interference Claims

The Bachelor season 29 host Jesse Palmer gave a warning to Grant Ellis' contestants about interrupting each other's time, as they continue to navigate the complicated world of the show. During The Bachelor season 29, episode 2, the women had their first dates with Grant, including two group dates. In what some suspected was producer manipulation, for the first time, the first impression rose recipient, Alexe Godin, also automatically received the first one-on-one date. During the first group date, Zoe McGrady ruffled feathers by stealing Grant away from the other women multiple times.

In an interview with EW, Jesse warned the Bachelor season 29 women that, if they choose to interrupt someone, then they will have to face the consequences of their actions. He explained, "One reality that stands the test of time on The Bachelor is that you will have a chat interrupted at some point; therefore, I feel that if you are the 'interrupter,' you should be ready for all types of reactions."

Jesse elaborated about how the Bachelor women might react to being interrupted. He said, "The rest of the cast will be notified. You will be confronted. You will likely have your own one-on-one time interrupted in the future — probably by the 'interruptee.' This is one of the commandments of The Bachelor."

What Jesse Palmer’s Advice About Interruptions Means For The Bachelor

The Bachelor Season 29 Women Should've Heeded Jesse's Warning

As a former Bachelor lead and now the host of the franchise, Jesse has seen it all. He knows that interrupted conversations happen all the time, and that the consequences of those actions can result in a lot of conflict among the women. During The Bachelor season 29, episode 2, Zoe McGrady stole Grant away for some extended one-on-one time during a basketball slam dunk contest, which greatly upset and angered some of the women.

In addition, Zoe interrupted Juliana Pasquarosa when she was talking to Grant at the afterparty, which enraged Alli Jo Hinkes, who hadn't had any alone time with him. Alli Jo stole Grant away from Zoe, who then returned to do the same thing to her. All of Jesse's predictions about Zoe's interruptions were true. However, Zoe didn't seem to care what the women thought because she felt that she was doing what she had to do in order to keep Grant's attention on her.

Our Take On The Bachelor Women Interrupting Conversations With Grant

The Bachelor Season 29 Women Should Avoid Wasting Their Time With Drama

The tug-of-war among the women for the Bachelor lead's one-on-one time can get very embarrassing because they seem so desperate for his attention. The way that they interrupt each other and argue about it later is very childish. They shouldn't waste their time with the petty drama. In addition, they should hold Grant accountable for leaving in the middle of conversations to speak to other women. No one ever questions why the lead doesn't simply say no, and refuses to allow the women to interrupt each other and steal him away.

Since Jesse offered his advice after The Bachelor season 29 wrapped filming, the women didn't have the chance to take it when they appeared in Grant's season. However, a lot of it is common sense, and they should've come to those conclusions themselves, especially because it's not season 1 and they've seen what could happen. Bachelor group dates can be awkward and dramatic, but the women don't have to make it worse by stealing Grant for a second, or, in Zoe's case, way longer. Hopefully, the focus will shift from drama to love during the rest of The Bachelor season 29.
