The Bachelor Season 29: Grant Ellis Wasn't Ready To Take On The Lead Role (He Made Several Mistakes That Could've Hurt His Reputation)

   

The Bachelor season 29 finale was nothing short of explosive. After introducing both women to his family, Grant found himself torn, but he wasn't really. When it came down to the final decision, he followed his heart and chose Juliana, leaving Litia blindsided. The heartbreak was palpable as Litia finally confronted Grant for leading her on, a confrontation that carried over into the After the Final Rose special. Grant could have avoided the mess, but he wasn't ready to take on the lead role.

Grant Led Two Women On

He Wasn't Clear With Juliana Or Litia

Grant made Litia and Juliana feel like they were "the one" throughout the process, which isn't fair. His actions raised red flags, as he told both contestants he loved them. Litia was ultimately shocked when Grant chose Juliana in the finale, despite his repeated assurances of love and commitment.

Grant Wasn't Making Any Real Connections In The Beginning

The Season Got Off To A Slow Start

Despite all the drama at the end, The Bachelor season 29 got off to a super slow start due to Grant's inability to form meaningful connections at the beginning of the season. Producer interference may have even played a role in shaping Grant's relationships, potentially manufacturing drama instead of fostering organic chemistry because he wasn't doing it on his own.

The Bachelor season 29 was boring at first, though the drama at the end packed a major punch.

Grant's heart just never seemed fully in it on the show. With such a slow start and no clear front-runners early on, Grant's season lacked the emotional weight that typically defines a successful Bachelor journey, further proving he may not have been the right choice for the role. He seemed to close his eyes and randomly pick Juliana in the end.
