Bachelor Nation get ready to spill the tea because things just got SERIOUS on Grant Ellis' season of 'The Bachelor'! We're down to the final three amazing women and you know what that means... fantasy suites baby! This week Grant packed his bags (and his heart?) and headed to the gorgeous Dominican Republic to figure out who could be his future wifey. Let's dive into all the drama romance and maybe a little awkward yoga shall we?
Dominican Republic Dreams or Disasters? ATV Rides Yoga and Ziplines Set the Scene for Love (and Tough Decisions!)
Grant wasn't messing around this week. ABC gave us the inside scoop and each lady got a super special one-on-one date in paradise. Think exhilarating ATV adventures intimate yoga sessions (silent yoga yikes!) and ziplining through lush greenery. Seriously the Dominican Republic looked absolutely stunning like perfect backdrop for falling in love or at least figuring things out.
Grant himself even said "This is the perfect place to get engaged." No pressure right? He's got to pick between Juliana Litia and Zoe and honestly it sounds like he's still totally unsure who's "the one". The teaser trailer hinted at some serious soul-searching and Grant admitting he needs to "pick between three amazing women". Talk about a tough gig!
Juliana's Fantasy Suite: ATV Thrills Past Heartbreak and a 12 out of 10 Experience?
First up was Juliana and they kicked things off with some ATV riding. Juliana even joked about wanting to drive next time. Turns out the Dominican Republic has a personal connection for Grant – his grandma is from there! Sweet touch right?
But things got real pretty fast. Juliana admitted she's stressed about not being the only one left and it brought up past relationship baggage. She opened up about being cheated on and how much it "broke" her. Grant was super supportive telling her "Where somebody else messed up I see treasure." Awww alert!
Champagne flowed feelings were shared and then BAM Fantasy Suite invitation time. Juliana called it a "no-brainer". The next morning? "12 out of 10 experience" alert! She said they "said a lot of things" and "had a lot of fun". Juliana definitely felt like their connection went "deeper" which is exactly what they both needed.
Zoe's Fantasy Suite: Silent Yoga Awkward Moments and a Pivotal Evening?
Next was Zoe and their date started with silent yoga. Silent yoga! Grant even joked about trying not to fart. Awkwardness aside Zoe felt like there was still "a lot of connectedness" even without words.
Later they actually talked haha! Zoe admitted she didn't know a ton about Grant and they dove into childhood and future family plans. Turns out their "timeline matches" for kids which is a good sign right? Grant said he could "very much see an engagement with Zoe" and invited her to the Fantasy Suite. Zoe was "down". The next day she called their night together a "pivotal evening". Sounds like progress!
Litia's Fantasy Suite: Ziplining Anxiety and a No-Sex Policy?! But Wait... "I Love You!"
Litia's date was a ziplining adventure. But even soaring through the trees couldn't totally ease her "anxiety" about Grant's other relationships. She talked to Grant about it wanting reassurance. Grant gave her the big guns saying "I’m going to be in love with one woman and I’m gonna spend my life with one person." Strong words!
Then things took a turn. Litia dropped a bombshell: no sex in the Fantasy Suite. She needed to "protect my feelings and my peace" with other women still around. Grant surprisingly respected it. He said sex isn't the "foundation" of a relationship and praised her "maturity". AND THEN HE SAID IT. "I do love you" Grant told Litia. Whoa! He even called her a "once in a lifetime woman" and said "It feels like we’re supposed to be together." Big declarations happening here folks.
Despite the no-sex rule Litia still stayed in the Fantasy Suite and the next morning said she felt "happy and closer with Grant". She felt like she had a "more complete picture of who he is" and guess what? She "still love[s] him" too! Love is in the air or at least in the Dominican Republic air conditioning.
Rose Ceremony Shocker: Zoe Sent Home and Grant Second Guesses His "I Love You"
Rose Ceremony time and things got tense. Grant admitted he was "second guess[ing]" saying "I love you" to Litia maybe it was too soon? He was clearly torn between Litia and Juliana saying he was "falling hard" for someone else too. He even confessed "I never thought it would be possible to be in love with multiple women." Dude welcome to The Bachelor!
At the Rose Ceremony Grant gave roses to Litia and then Juliana. That meant poor Zoe was sent packing. Grant said goodbye to Zoe calling her "an amazing woman" but admitted they "weren’t in a place to get married". Ouch.
Finale Frenzy: Grant Meets the Families and Still Undecided?!
The morning after the rose ceremony Grant was "freaking out" (his words!). He even met with his family for advice because he's still "torn between two amazing women" and doesn't know "who my future wife is going to be yet". Indecisive Bachelor alert! Jesse Palmer is promising a "dramatic finale". Color us intrigued… and maybe a little stressed for Grant.
Who Will Get the Final Rose? Finale Predictions and How to Watch!
So who is it gonna be? Litia or Juliana? Reality Steve (the Bachelor spoiler king) is predicting Juliana as the winner. He's been right before but you never know! Grant seemed super smitten with Litia but his connection with Juliana is also strong. It really could go either way.
