The Bachelor's Litia Garr's Raw Honesty About Grant Ellis' Decision Explains Exactly Why Producers Need To Update The Show (He Raised The Stakes And Broke Her Heart)

Despite knowing that he was coming towards the end of his journey, where he’d have to choose between Litia and Juliana Pasquarosa in a tense final rose ceremony, Grant remained conflicted yet positive. Reassuring Litia, telling her he loved her, and even talking about their future as though she was a lock for him was shocking, even more so when it was revealed he’d be letting her go. Throughout Bachelor history, there’s been a lot of leads who wind up hurting contestants’ feelings, but after Grant’s screw-up of epic proportions, I can’t imagine not feeling the show needs to change.

Their Connection Was Sweet

He Didn’t Know He’d Wind Up Hurting Her

Although Grant spent their time together reassuring Litia and raising the stakes of their relationship consistently, which put her into a false sense of security, he knew he would eventually need to make a tough decision. Though he shared he didn’t know what he’d do up to the day before The Bachelor season 29 finale, Grant all but told Litia she was the one. Making her feel comfortable, Grant shocked Litia when he decided to propose to Juliana instead. Making it clear he’d been lying to her throughout the season with his choice, Litia was betrayed by Grant’s decision.

Litia Called Grant Out For "Raising The Stakes" All Season

She Didn’t Understand Where He Was Coming From

At The Bachelor season 29’s ATFR, Litia made it clear that she was confused and disappointed by Grant’s behavior. She called him out for continually leading him on and making it seem like she was the one, sharing that in the day before the final rose ceremony, they’d talked about how excited they were to get engaged tomorrow. Litia questioned Grant on how it was possible for him to make such a quick decision and feel good, not only for his conscience, but for Juliana’s wellbeing. While Litia had a lot of questions, Grant didn’t have a lot of answers.
