The Bachelor: Grant Ellis Says He Thought of Only One Person During the Fantasy Suite Dates

Now that The Bachelor Women Tell All episode is behind us, Grant Ellis can finally move on to more pressing matters: overnight dates and the final rose ceremony. But as viewers know, things are about to get especially tricky—well, more like thorny—as our leading man seems to be unsure of which woman to pick on proposal day. (Yes, even after all these years, a proposal after six weeks still sounds crazy.)

Grant is down to his final three choices: Zoe, Litia, and Juliana. One woman will leave following the penultimate rose ceremony after the overnight dates, and Grant’s final two women will be set. Of course, the most interesting part of this story is what happens—and has happened—after the final rose has been given out. If Grant is with someone, will that woman be able to move past knowing he was so conflicted the morning of proposal day? And will the other woman always wonder ‘what if?’

Below, Grant addresses all that and more, including the Bachelor couple he credits with helping him get through the aftermath, and why he doesn’t regret saying “I love you” to more than one woman.

Glamour: I have to be honest, I don’t know what is happening sometimes this season with the drama among certain women. Do you?

Grant Ellis: There’s always going to be drama as the lead as the bachelor…maybe I could have done things to defuse the situation better, but I really wanted to see how things played out. And I want to see the character of the ladies because I’m talking about somebody who is my future wife.

Right. You just want to get your love story.

Yeah. And it’s all a part of it because when things are happening in the house, you see certain characteristics and you could say, “Okay, maybe I should see what happens here. See how this person handles it.” Because a big part of choosing someone you’re going to be with is how they handle situations when things get tough. I think that’s where you see character.
