Now Grant has happily accepted the lead role of The Bachelor season 29. He was the perfect choice to be the star of the series because his main goal in life is to be a husband and a father. This will most likely make him a successful Bachelor, but the main thing that separates his season from past failed ones is that his contestants knew that he was the lead before they signed up for the show. Hopefully, this will make Grant's Bachelor season a success.
Grant Ellis' Contestants Knew He Was The Bachelor When They Applied
Grant Was Announced Much Earlier Than Previous Bachelors
For many years, the next lead of The Bachelor was announced during The Bachelorette finale in the "After the Final Rose" portion of the episode. The next lead is one of the most-anticipated parts of the finale. However, Grant was announced as the lead online right after he was eliminated from Jenn's Bachelorette season.
This fixed the past mistake in which the contestants didn't know who the Bachelor or the Bachelorette was until they stepped out of the limousines. Because of that, inevitably, some were sad to see that the person that they hoped for wasn't there. It's fantastic that this won't happen to Grant.
There Won’t Be Any Disappointment With The Bachelor Lead
The Producers Learned From Their Mistakes With Jenn Tran's Bachelorette Season
After both Daisy and Maria revealed that they'd turned down The Bachelorette season 21, Jenn appeared to be the producers' third choice for the role. Jenn denied that this was true, and stated that all three of them were in the running from the beginning, but the damage was done. Jenn and Maria's friendship even ended over this issue. The problem was further highlighted on the show when Jenn's suitor, Sam McKinney, confessed to her that he didn't expect her to be the Bachelorette.
The Bachelor season 29 star Grant Ellis is an amazing man, but the producers might be setting him up to fail by creating unrealistic expectations.
Thankfully, Grant didn't have to worry that his contestants were expecting someone else when they stepped out of the limousine. They signed up for the show specifically to date him. Because the producers finally fixed this mistake, Grant has a much better chance of having a successful season. This, combined with his desire to be a husband and a father, will help him to achieve his goal of finding true love. Hopefully, Grant will find the love of his life on The Bachelor season 29, and they'll live happily ever after.
