As a long-time fan of The Bachelorette and Bachelor Nation, I must say that the recent announcement of Grant Ellis as the lead for Season 29 left me both excited and a bit perplexed. On one hand, it’s fantastic to see such a charming, genuine, and charismatic individual taking center stage – particularly since he’ll be the second Black man to do so after Matt James in 2020. However, I can’t help but feel that the announcement was rather… hastily made.
Head’s up! The following narrative reveals plot points from last Tuesday’s episode of ‘The Bachelorette’. You can catch it on Hulu the very next day, if you have a subscription.
After Jenn Tran eliminated Grant Ellis during the rose ceremony preceding Hometowns on The Bachelorette, it was a tough blow for him. But, the sorrow didn’t linger for long – at least not for viewers. In fact, just after the August 12 episode concluded, news broke that the Houston-based day trader had been selected as the star of The Bachelor Season 29. This makes Grant the second Black man to headline the franchise since Matt James in 2020, which generated much enthusiasm among Bachelor Nation. However, some viewers expressed their displeasure with how the announcement was handled.
Normally, ABC doesn’t unveil its upcoming leads in the midst of a season; they usually prefer to reveal them during the “After the Final Rose” special or even on Good Morning America following the season finale. However, Grant Ellis, who gained popularity on Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette, managed to stay clear of the drama involving Devin Strader and Sam McKinney. Some viewers were a bit disappointed when the sudden announcement was made, with one fan expressing their sentiment through a tweet:
Tomorrow, make sure you catch the mid-morning ABC segment featuring Grant. Give him a grand welcome!
Other responses to Grant Ellis big news included:
- really? no big reveal / tease / surprise on the finale? this is probably the earliest announcement ever… – ODedOnRealityTV
- A Twitter announcement tho?? – thatdidntlast
- Grant deserved a better Bachelor announcement! – BachelorJedi
- why is Grant’s bachelor announcement so… awkward – MoodieForBach
- Why not give Grant a proper Good Morning America / After the Final Rose announcement … – hkchura
While some fans are thrilled that Grant Ellis might be back on our screens in 2025, others simply find joy in this prospect. A fervent member of Bachelor Nation even expressed their excitement in an exuberant manner.
GRANT GOT THAT BACHELOR EDIT LETS GO BLACK PEOPPLEEEEE
Many people expressed their joy on social platforms following the announcement. Despite being unexpected, it appeared to be a welcome surprise, as fans posted positive messages such as:
- OMG yay i like grant!!! can’t wait to see more of him! i wish he got more screentime – shannon4g
- i can’t believe i told my brother “we need Grant as the bachelor” and it HAPPENS. WHAT?! – VickyDiTullio
As a long-time fan of Disney’s reality shows, I can understand why some viewers might be confused by the early announcement regarding Jenn Tran’s season, especially since it seems like the finale is still weeks away. However, having worked in the entertainment industry for several years, I can appreciate that there are often complex factors at play when it comes to scheduling and production decisions.
Hurry up and apply right away if you believe Grant could be the man of your dreams, or if you know someone who might fit! We’re announcing this opportunity swiftly so that applications can still be submitted for his season.
New episodes of The Bachelorette air at 8 p.m. ET Mondays on ABC.
