Signs The Bachelor's Grant Ellis Isn't Ready To Settle Down Despite Engagement (He's A Sagittarius
The Bachelor's leading man, Grant Ellis, has chosen his final two, Litia Garr and Juliana Pasquarosa, but signs suggest he may not be ready to settle down. Throughout the season, Grant connected with 25 women, including Alexe Godin, who received the first impression rose, and a coveted one-on-one date. Meanwhile, Carolina Quixano stirred drama with her constant self-victimization and uncertainty over Grant's feelings, making it easier for him to identify the stronger connections. However, despite Juliana and Litia seeming like ideal final choices, Grant's inconsistent decisions throughout the season suggest he may not be ready for an engagement.
Despite moments that highlighted Grant's passions, his actions raised doubts about his commitment. For example, Chloie Costello won a one-on-one date after being crowned the MVP during the basketball group date—yet, he never pursued their connection further. Simirlarly, 26-year-old Natalie Phillips received the group date rose, but was never invited on a one-on-one date despite the way Grant gushed about her during their one-on-one time. Given these patterns, it's questionable whether Grant is truly ready to settle down. Here are a few signs that suggest otherwise.
Grant Told The Women What They Wanted To Hear
Grant's Words Keep Raising Doubts About His Intentions
Grant has been kind and understanding towards the contestants, even in their most vulnerable moments. He's been vocal about his adventurous and optimistic outlook on life, embracing opportunities like finding love on a reality TV series (wink!). These traits align with his Sagittarius nature, as the 31-year-old day trader was born on December 15, 1993. However, like every sign, he has his downfalls. At times, his decisions seem careless and overly accommodating, making his actions inconsistent with his words. For example, he kept Zoe McGrady after a last-minute conversation before the hometowns episode, despite having stronger connections elsewhere.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
After the Hometowns episode, Grant sent home Dina Lupancu after failing to meet her family, as some refused to participate. However, during The Bachelor: Women Tell All, he insisted that wasn't the reason. Meanwhile, he saved Zoe, despite their minimal connection, making her Fantasy Suites selection shocking. The following week, he sent her home, admitting they barely knew each other and weren't ready to get married. This pattern confirmed my views on Grant's tendency to accommodate everyone, and in doing so, he carelessly pushed others away without even realizing it.
Grant Let A Good Option Get Away
Allowed Drama To Get In The Way Of A Connection
Audiences were introduced to many women forming meaningful connections with Grant, but he often let other contestants interfere. For instance, TheBachelor's Rose Sombke got caught in early drama with Carolina. Rose told Carolina that during Carolina's dance in Week 3's group date, Grant said he had been thinking about her. This sent Carolina into a spiral, leading her to confront Grant, who denied it and then addressed Rose. Rose genuinely believed that's what he had said, but after reviewing the footage, Grant's actual words were, "The whole dancing thing onstage and everything, I was thinking about you.”
"I’ve been fighting myself for a long time, like, fighting to stay and fighting through my own emotions. Everything that happened with Carolina invalidated so much about my relationship that was so good."
Although Rose apologized, it was clear Grant was frustrated by the situation, especially since it defamed his character. Heartbroken, Rose decided to self-eliminate herself, which Grant didn't seem to fight. While he didn't send her home, his choice to repeatedly comfort Carolina and worry about his image led to their downfall.
Instead of reassuring Rose of his interest, he let her walk away. This raised the question of whether Grant was more worried about how others viewed him than their connections—especially since many praised how he handled Carolina's constant complaints to the other women rather than addressing them directly. Yet, despite the conflict, he continued chasing after Carolina while neglecting his other connections.
Will Grant Get Engaged In The Upcoming Finale?
Yes, But Are His Intentions Genuine
As the finale approaches, Reality Steve speculates that Grant will propose to Juliana. However, whether it's for the right reasons is debatable. The Bachelor's Grant had previously boasted about being decisive, yet, for the first time, he confided in his family that he was struggling to choose between Litia and Juliana. it's reasonable to think that whoever Grant chooses won't last, given his uncertainty. Jesse Palmer especially confirmed my suspicions in his US Weekly interview, saying, "Normally, I think, our leads have a little bit more clarity — a lot more clarity — heading into the final day. And I really think that’s how conflicted Grant really was.”
The Bachelor Season 29 finale airs Monday, March 24 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
