The Bachelorseason 29 has been disappointing, and I’ll probably stop watching the show if Grant Ellis ends his season without finding true love. After the success ofThe Bachelorseason 28, I had high hopes that 31-year-old Grant would end up as lucky as Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson. Instead, he’s headed for the failure of Jenn Tran onThe Bacheloretteseason 21.
Grant, a day trader and former basketball player from New Jersey made his television debut during Jenn’s season ofThe Bachelorette, but he was eliminated before hometown dates. He was soon announced as the franchise’s next male lead. He kicked offThe Bachelorseason 29with high expectations, but he failed to meet up with them. In many ways, he has floundered as the lead, andhis season looks like it may end on a bad note. I’ll never be able to forgive the franchise for another failure.
A Pattern Of Failure
Does The Show No Longer Work?
Few of the last few seasons ofThe Bachelorfranchise shows have ended with true love. Other than Joey and Kelsey andThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1’s Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple, it’s been one failure after the other.Bachelor In Paradiseended without any lasting relationships.The Golden Bachelorseason 1 ended with a divorce, andThe Bacheloretteseason 21 ended with Jenn’s broken heart.I don’t think I can take another failure. If Grant fails to find love duringThe Bachelorseason 29, I don’t know if I’ll forgive the franchise.
Grant Struggled To Make Real Connections
The Bachelorseason 28was a tough act to follow, but I had high hopes for Grant’s season. There was plenty of drama, but Grant didn’t seem to know what he wanted. He waffled so much, andhis affections swung wildly on and off. Before the season, Grant toldPeoplehe was afraid of making “bad decisions,“but I’m convinced his caution may keep him from finding love.
Grant’s Indecision Plays A Big Role In How The Show Ends
Could He Walk Away All Alone?
Grant chose his final three women,but I wouldn’t be surprised if he walked away without handing out his final rose.The Bachelorseason 29 trailer, whichBachelor Nationposted to YouTube, ends with Grant waffling during the final rose ceremony. When host Jesse Palmer asks him if he’s ready to choose between the final two women, Grant says, “The truth is, I don’t know.” If the show ends without Grant finding true love, I may never forgive the franchise.
